General Chat

Ann, glad that all went well with your appointment, and hope that the biopsy results are good.



Jean, I'm sure that if the consultant thought there was anything to worry about he would have arranged for you to have the biopsy the very next day. These consultants can tell just by looking at something that it's 99% okay, but have to make sure that it is. Try and concentrate on your cards so that it helps to take your mind off it. I know that isn't always
easy.



Mo hope you are feeling better and that you enjoy the darts match tonight. Good luck and hope you win.



Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Jean, the rodent ulcers (which don't actually look like ulcers, sometimes a small bump and sometimes a sore patch), are caused by skin damage from the sun many years ago. Sometimes people get one, sometimes many like me and there could be more. Another name for them is basal cell carcinoma which is why they can't be ignored, a couple I have had for about 20 years and they haven't 'turned', but they can in rare cases develop into melanoma.

I am ok with injections usually, although the last lot at the dentist were painful. The atmosphere at the dermatologists is very relaxed, he and his nurse are lovely which helps, I had never had the liquid nitrogen before and that stung but soon couldn't feel it. It is all sore now so sleeping should be fun with my leg and back sore.

Aaaah Ann, I hope the discomfort goes quickly, and that the results are good for you.
Waiting for biopsy results is a worry, but god willing all will be fine my love.

Jean honey, if the appointment was an emergency, they would have fitted you in pretty damn quick, so PLEASE, try not to worry to much.
I don't think I will bother with the pink hair. I had that colour back in the sixties, when my skin tone wasn't to bad. But now, well, having grey hair and skin to go with it, seems to be fashionable.
No seriously, I will do it the same beige blonde I always use. People dont seem to notice when the grey creeps back in with this colouring.

I must go now, got to get myself ready.
Love to all, Mo xxx

Thanks for letting us know how you got on Ann, do you know what causes the ulcers to keep appearing? you sound a lot braver than me..... I have been told by the practice nurse I have a low pain threshhold,. if I prick my finger I feel it for days after, so I would be a nervous wreck if I had to have what you go through, personally I think my version is another word for wimp ;-) ;-) so I cry a lot... ;-) ;-)

I have some pics of Fathers day cards so when my putter-on gets home if she isnt too late I will send them through....take care lovey, and rest the leg.....

Mo what colour are you going to do your hair? you would look good with bright pink, like Helen Mirren had done...send a pic .....

pie and mash for tea so will see you all later....

love Jean xx.

Yes I am back, actually went in 5 minutes early (there's a first) and was out by five past three, so we walked into town and went and had a glass of wine and a bowl of chips in Wetherspoons.

Apart from the three lots of injections (3 ulcers) and a blast of liquid nitrogen (another one he spotted in its early stages) It wasn't too bad. He froze the one, scraped two and did a punch hole biopsy with one stitch in the one on my leg. Have to wait for the biposy results now (3) but they take ages to come through. He will let me know the results then call me in for another appointment. they are a little bit sore and I have to have the stitch out in 7 days, but not too bad at all really.

Jean did they give any indication how long you'd have to wait for an appointment for the biopsy? Mine always take ages to come through so that I have almost forgotten about them by the time they do. As the consultant said he didn't think it was anything to worry about I would try and shove it to the back of your mind and get on with your life while waiting. I am sure if he had been worried you'd have been called quickly.

No not yet Mo and its doing my head in, I havent worried about anything as much as this , must be old age....so trying to get all the fathers day cards done, its early this year 16th June....but at least it takes my mind off IT!!. :-( :-(
I too hope it wasnt to bad for Ann, and she will no doubt tell us soon, my grandson is at this moment in time in an interview, he has a job which he hates so praying this one will be sucssesful....our Charlie has just been weighed 14lb at 2.1/2 months old, takes after his dad...(.and me ) ;-) ;-) hope everyone else are doing o.k.

Love Jean xx

Hello my lovelies,
Is there any news from Ann yet? I do hope she got on o.k

Talking of having our hair done, I am due for a nice cut and colour on Tuesday. The colour will be done at home by myself, but I cant wait to get the cut done.
It feels that as I get older, my hair grows quicker. Normally I make an appointment for six weeks apart, but after five weeks it starts to look like a scarecrows hair.
The fringe is starting to hang in my eyes again, even though I have trimmed it up once since the original cut. I feel a bit like a shaggy dog lol

Once again, we have had a lovely dry sunny day, it's still cold, but lovely and bright.

Our summer season darts starts tonight, and I am really looking forwards to it.
Must go now, I hope you are all well.
Jean, is there any news on your appointment yet honey?
Love to you all, Mo xxx

Hope all goes well at the hospital for you, Ann.

Thinking about you and sending my best wishes.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hope all goes well at the hospital Ann. prayers are flying to you....

love Jean xx <3 <3 <3

If you had hair like mine Ann you would need it doing a lot more ..... it fine so short is the only way to keep it tidy and I need a perm every three months ... another thing thats wrong with me ;-) ;-) :-( :-(

I thought you had got rid of a lot of your stuff Jean. A While back. I only have my hair done once every 6 weeks and usually coloured about every 3 to 4 months. Depending on time of year and where I am going.

Joking Ann...lol....., the cards are always sold at the Hospice and also were D works, but J noticed how quiet the hairdresser was,so maybe folk are cutting back, someone wanted to know how much it was for a colour and blow wave It was £ 45, I just go once a fortnight, so not as dear, maybe I should try the rest home across from were I live, they may want some.... I would still give the money to the hospice though, but I am downgrading some of my stock , cant move for stuff. so I am wondering how to dispose of some of it never done selling on e-thingy,so suggestions will be gratefully recieved.......but there will be a time to slow down , its getting harder to carry on with the normal things of life, so off to bed....

love Jean xx

Good evening girls, before you all go to bed.

I must go for a walk in the sunshine soon, 30 mins a day I am supposed to have. I go to work in the shop this afternoon.

Oh! oh!, I am late tonight girls, and I have probably missed you.
Good luck for tomorrow Ann, I will be thinking of you.
Night god bless, speak to you tomorrow girls, at an earlier time I hope. Love Mo

Why call it a day Jean, I thought your charity cards were in great demand. I suspect that the hairdressers is not the best place to sell, I have noticed that things don't sell in our hairdressers, don't know why.

Anyway you like making cards, have a rest and get back to it later.

Thanks for reminding me Sallie, will be thinking of you tomorrow Ann, I am sure all will go well.... I am still waiting for my mouth date..... :-D :-D :-D , just recycled ;ots of cards I made for the hairdressers, doesnt look like any were sold , so they have all new ones see how they go....maybe I should call it a day...... who wants lots of stock ;-) ;-) ;-)

love Jean xx

Ann, good luck at the hospital tomorrow, hope all goes well and it will get sorted, so that it
will then set your mind at peace. Will be thinking about you.


I have to make a birthday card once I'm finished on here, its for my friend's hubby, but I can't decide on what sort of card to make for him, although I have a few things that I can use, just cannot make up my mind......typical of me.lol!! With him not having any hobbies, it is more difficult to know what to do.


I'll get back to you all later on, must go and get the card done now.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi, No Jean, I didn't take any photos over the weekend as we didn't really go anywhere, and the grandsons are a bit big for photos these days, unless it is a special occasion.

Sallie, amazing where the time goes yet when you look back you haven't actually done anything isn't it?

We have done the grocery shop this morning, had collected enough stamps on our coffee card to have a 4 item breakfast each, which is what we did, enjoyed it too.

Have since made one card, but it took longer than normal as it was a stamped one, don't do a lot of stamping these days and when I do I usually find half my pens have dried up. Think it is too warm in this room for them. Shall make a few more cards this afternoon, trying to fill in the time and not think about my hospital appointment on Thursday. :-( Not moaning a lot about it because there are plenty of others on here with worse things going on.

Mo have the antbs solved the problem now? Hope so.

T is out in the garden, he decided he couldn't wait any longer to plant his potatoes in the containers.

Just a quick look in here before I go out. Sorry didn't get back yesterday, I don't know where the time went, it was 10-30pm before I realised what time it was.

Mo, hope that your new anti-biotics have started to 'kick in' and that you are feeling a bit better today. Also hope all goes well at the hospital next Wednesday, for both you and Roly.


Jean, sorry that you are still not able to get into your card making as much as usual, I'm sure that once the biopsy is over and done with you will feel more inclined to doing them again.


Well, I must go now, have to go and get a few things that we need, so it's out into the cold easterly winds that we are still getting.


Speak to you all later.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo, my poorly little mite, hope you are feeling much better soon, dont go out in the cold, the garden will be there when you feel better and hopefully the warmer weather will be here.... I am like you just want a change of scenery. but waiting to hear from the oral clinic should be getting my date soon... so everything is on hold at the moment....

Sallie, hope all was well with Richard, I got fed up with this site as I wrote a reply and there it was gone, I sent some pics to you so not sure if you got them either I think Ann got hers.... but I am not really interested in anything , even the cards are not moving as fast as usual, still as I dont get paid it doesnt really matter......

Ann, did you get some nice pics its great when the sun shines its the cold that gets to me so my camera is used to make a record of the cards....hope Lynda and family are all well .
Love to everyone else who I havent mentioned by name , but always in my mind...
love Jean xx
