Ann, thanks also for your lovely Easter card. Yes it is a die cut, it'scut from one of the dies I bought in one of the crfat shops in Derby, but they also sell them on the craft sites on the internet. It's the Marianne, Anja quadrate die, I must say I have used it a good bit since I bought it........I think I now need to buy a couple of different ones for a change.

Hope T enjoys his game of golf and will be able to get warm quickly when he gets home.

It's very cold here again today with tiny bits of snow coming down, just hope it doesn't get worse.



Mo, sorry you lost the game on Monday night, but as you say at least you didn't come bottom, so that is something.lol!!

I hope you are not suffering too much with the pains in your stomach at the moment. Let's hope that all is now sorted so that you will be given the right scan that you need when you go to the hospital.

I got a pm from Jean this morning, thanking me for the Easter card. It's tomorrow that she goes to the hospital for the appointment that her dentist made for her. Understandably she is very worried that it will be something awful, so girls could we all send lots of thoughts and prayers to her.


Jean, sending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers that all will go well tomorrow.
I will be thinking about you.



Talking of dentists, Jennie had three top front teeth out yesterday and also an impession for dentures to replace them. It's a good thing she isn't bothered about going to the dentist, unlike me I'm terrified. I think that because she went to the orthodontist for a good few years as she had to wear braces, going to the dentist was easy to her.lol!! She certainly take after Alun and not me, thank goodness.


Jeni, hope you are feeling better and having plenty of rest.



I don't know where all our other friends are lately, hope they are all okay.


Must go now, it's that time of the week again when we have to do the shopping, I don't like it at all.lol!!


Speak to you all later.

Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Many thanks for the lovely Easter card Sallie.
You girls are dead clever with your card making, yes, I know I have said this many many times, but you are.

Ann, I hope you had the kettle on, to warm T up when he got home. We have been very lucky here with our weather today, the sun is shining, and it's quite warm outside.
It's amazing what we endure for our favourite pastimes, the only difference between myself and T is that my hobby is inside, and T's is outside, in all weathers. But he does get enjoyment out of it, and like myself suffers the consequences. lol

Time for a cuppa now, so see you later girls. Love Mo

Sallie, many thanks for the pretty easter card. Is that a die cut? It is very attractive.

Sorry you lost Mo, But, as you say, it was not a surprise. Still you can't be competitive if you don't feel well. Your health comes first, you shouldn't have gone. Hope you are feeling better now. Roll on that scan.

Cold and grey here today and T is playing golf, he must be frozen and he can't cope with the cold. But, like you he was committed to a match.

Hi Ann, we lost as I expected us to, but then thats nothing new for us lately. I played like a right plonker, and I know it's no excuse, but I felt rotten all night. I shouldn't have gone out in the first place, but when we only have a bare six players I didn't want to let the team down. But I wasn't bottom average so I suppose thats something to be pleased about. lol

I must go to bed now, so I will say good night god bless girls. love Mo xxx

Hi Jeni,
I think it is this awful weather, the continual cold and gloom, Difficult to make yourself do anything. I have started a little cardigan for the gt grandchild expected in June but have only done the first few rows, keep finding other things to do. I did manage to do a few rows of double crochet but left that too. Have made some cards though.

How did you get on at darts Mo? At least you have an appointment for a scan, let's hope, now that they will know the right place to scan, that they can find out what your problem is.

Hi Jeni, good to see you back.
I went and saw my doctor today, re my scan. Showed her the letter from the hospital, and the fact that it's a pelvic scan, and not what she had asked to be done.
She was gob smacked, and is going to send another report to the hospital, telling them that it's an upper abdominal scan, and not a pelvic one.
I still have to keep the appointment in April, but she has given me the written report of what she wants doing, and I have to take it with me to ensure they do it correctly.
When she checked my records, I had a pelvic scan done last year in January, and she thinks they may have got confused. But to be honest, it would not surprise me to know it was the person who sent off for the appointment at the surgery, maybe one of the receptionists/office clerks getting my notes mixed up. Still it should all be sorted now.

I hope everyone is well. Take care love Mo

Hello ladies, hope you are all keeping warm and not suffering too much with this weather, looks like most of the country will have a white Easter.
Sorry I have been missing for a while, cannot seem to get myself motivated, must be my age. Still not getting anywhere with the crochet but have started knitting an arran cardigan for Scarlett.
Think it is time I went to bed, am falling asleep over the keyboard.
Good night everyone, God bless.
Take care and stay safe.
Love to you all <3 <3
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Oh Ann, I had to chuckle at the notice in Homesense, but how true it is. No matter what happens, when I go to the supermarket for one thing, I end up coming out with half a dozen.
And I hate taking Roly, he is worse than a child when he sees something new on the shelves.
Last week, he wanted to try a box of Chilli thins, they are similar to a crisp, but when he tasted them he didn't like them, so that was money wasted on a whim, as the scrap bin enjoyed them more than he did.
Our spot lights in the kitchen, are a special bulb as well, and they are a devil to get in and out, so I leave them to Roly to sort out.

Sallie, thats a new one on me, about the ant powder on a penny. If we get any ants this year I shall have to try it. Mind you, thats if we get the weather for them. Unlike Jennie and Michael, we don't get them till the weather heats up a bit, thank goodness.
Yes, I am going to darts tonight. I don't suppose we will get very far though, as the team we are playing are top of the league.
I must go now, have to get myself ready, and we have to leave at 8.30, and I really need more time than this. Thank goodness I don't wear to much make up these days, only the poly filla takes ages to dry. lol
Bye for now my lovelies. Mo xxx

Hello girls, yes this a very lonely little thread, it use to be so busy too, with all of us chatting to each other a good bit throughout the day.


Alun and I spent the weekend in the house apart from having to go out to get a few things that we needed. We had about four inches of snow over over Friday night and all day Saturday with freezing cold winds, so it was nice to be able to stay in in the warm.


Jennie and Michael are having problems with ants in their living room, so yesterday they bought some powder and some traps to try and get rid of them.....they have to be careful where they put the powder because of the dog. Anyway last night they noticed that the ants were not even going near the traps nor the powder, so as you can imagine J and M were tearing their hair out wondering how they were going to get rid of them. Tim, their next door neighbour suggested something that he had heard on the radio, and that was to put the powder on a 2p coin and put it near to the place they were coming from.......it worked well, the ants were all over it and then they were taking it back to their nest. It's suppose to take five days before they know for sure that they have got rid of them all.


Mo, have you got a darts match tonight? Hope you will win, if you have. Good luck.

Let's hope that they will sort out your hospital appointment to make sure you get the right kind of scan that you need.



Ann, I'm like you, we usually go for a look around, these places not wanting or needing anything in particular, but always mangage to find something that we didn't know we needed. I love the notice on their shelves, it is so true.lol!!

Hope that the weather isn't too bad up in the Lake District for your daughter and son-in-law.




Jean, I hope you are feeling a bit better, haven't heard from you for a few days, so hope that you and the family are all okay.



Jeni, I hope that you are feeling a good bit better than you have been. Take care and keep warm.



I don't hear from Joyce very much now but she rang me on Friday night, she isn't too good at the moment, she has to go for a colonoscopy on 3rd April, so hoping it all goes well for her.



Huia, hope that you are okay, I expect that you are busy in the shop.




Sylvia, hope all is well with you and OH. Also hope that you are still having the good weather there and not like the weather we have here in the UK.


Marie, haven't heard from you for a while, I hope all is well with you and your family.


Well girls, I'm going to have a cuppa now, can't manage too long without one.lol!!



Speak to you all later.


Take care everone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

We are probably all using allo our energy keeping warm Mo. We didn't go far at the weekend, just nipped out for the papers on saturday and Sunday we went to Homebase as we needed a special bulb for one of our wall lights, then we had a coffee in Dunelm and a short visit to the Range. Today we had to go to Dunelm in Gloucester this time to collect something our daughter ordered because she was unable to get it in Dunelm in the Lake district where she is staying for 10 days, so on the way back we made a visit to a shop called Homesense which sells all sorts of things at reduced prices. I got a lovely cream squishy teddy bear for the expected great grandchild and a 12x12 scrap book and a pyrex oval roastin casserole dish, all reduced so I was well pleased. (Didn't actually need any of it of course.) Loved a notice on their shelves. "Were you able to find everything you didn't know you wanted?" :-D

Oh dear me, where has everyone got to.
This is a very lonely little thread, with no news from our friends over the weekend.
I will look in later to see if anyone is about. Bye for now girls, love Mo

Ooh sorry, 4 days since I posted, been reading this thread and posted on others. No not away until end April Mo, otherwise been busy card making and knitting, went out a couple of days, once to the garden centre at Evesham, had lunch out seniors special, chicken and
mushroom pie followed by sticky toffee pud. Not exactly slimming but very moreish. Then yesterday we went into town as I had a chiropodist appointment and we had lunch in Wetherspoons plus a bottle of wine.

Sallie, I was in the singles last night at darts. I got through the first round, winning 2-0, but then came up against the woman who eventually won the whole chebang.
I didn't disgrace myself, and played really well considering how nervous I was.
The shakes started in my hands, and worked them selves down to my BTM, and when that started wobbling, I was like the proverbial jelly on a plate. :-D :-D :-D

I have got an appointment with my GP on Wednesday, to check what she actually wrote on the application for my scan.
It will be no good them scanning just my pelvic area, when the pains higher up.
It's the same as having to have an ingrown toenail removed, and them sending one to the dentists. lol

I hope the snow is not settling Sallie. We have had rain on and off all flamin day, but it is bitterly cold, and snow is forecast for us down south.

I wonder if Ann is o.k, as we have not heard from her in a while. I don't remember her saying they were going away just yet.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3Love and hugs for Jean and Jeni <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Get well soon both of you. xxx

Has anyone heard how Joyce is lately? As I have not seen her posting very often.

A big hello to Sylvia, Marie and Huia, our friends from down under. I hope you are all keeping well.

Bye for now girls. Love and hugs Mo xxx

That's okay Mo, lol!! I was beginning to think that maybe I hadn't posted about Jean not being very well, but thought I had.lol!! Anything is possible with me as I'm getting older.lol!!

How did you nget on at darts last night? I hope that you and your team did well and won.

Thank goodness you have had the date for your scan through, hoping that it will all go well and that whatever it is, they will hurry up and sort it out for you.

Hope Lilly is alright and that Zoey is responing well to the physio.

We had some snow overnight, but not too much thank goodness, although it is snowing quite a bit at the moment, just hope it won't stick and hang about. It's very cold and the wind is making it feel a lot worse.



Hello to all our other fiends on here, I'll try and get back on here later today.


.


Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sorry Sallie, I miss understood your posting re our Jean. I got mixed and muddled with our Jean, and Jeniwren, silly billy me.

I have got my appointment through for my scan, it's for the 17th of April,...but, the scan is for the pelvic area, and not the rib cage area where my pain is.
I am going to make an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow, to see if this is the correct area for scanning or not.

Poor Jean, she has been through the wars lately bless her. I hope she feels better soon, and feels up to posting again. I do miss her saucy remarks, and I'm having withdrawal symptoms.

I have heard from Jeniwren, she is a bit fed up of having to behave herself, and get as much rest as she can.
I think her family will have to tie her to the chair to keep her under control. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Must go and get my bath, and get ready for darts tonight.
Bye for now girls, take care. Love Mo xxx

Mo, you must have missed me telling you that Jean let me know last night that she isn't feeling very good at all. It's all on my last message. I hope she's feeling at least a bit better today.

Hope Jeni is also feeling a bit better today too.


How are things with you? Hope you are not in too much pain and that you will soon get a hospital appointment.

Take care.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello Sallie,
Jeni sent me a message on FB, last night, but I have not heard from her today yet.
I just hope and pray she is alright, hopefully her daughter Susan will keep me updated, if we don't hear from Jeni herself.

Still no news from our Jean either, I shall send her a message in a minute, to ensure that she is o.k.

Oh boy, all our friends are in the wars at the moment.
Bye for now girls, just going to message Jean. Love Mo xxx

Mo, just thought that I'd let you know that Jean isn't feeling too good at all, so won't be on here until she is feeling a bit better........she is suffering quite badly with pains in her back.
Let's hope that she will feel a lot better soon.

I sent her a email yesterday evening and she replied back asking me if I could let you all know why she hasn't been on here.


Have you heard how Jeni is today? I hope that she is going along alright and enjoying her birthday with her family around her.


Must go and get ready to go and do the weekly shopping, so will look in later on.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo, thank you for letting us know about Jeni. Bless her, I hope she is feeling a lot better now. I wondered where she was as I haven't seen her posting for a short while. Sorry to hear that you still haven't had an appointment through yet.


Jeni, if you are looking in, Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a lovely day with your family around you. Love Sallie.xxx


I might pop back later on.





Love, Sallie.xxx
