Yes Huia we are still all alive. Seriously the boards are very slow at the moment.

Hi Huia, I think that the boards have slowed down generally speaking.
Sooo you are off gadding about again today then my love. Well enjoy yourself whatever you are doing today.
Take care sweetheart. Love Mo

Hello Mo, nice to see there is still a bit of life on the thread. I have just added to the Friendly thread, 12 hours after I last added. No sign of life in between my 2 postings.

I will be off out in a couple of hours.

Hello girls,
Thank you for giving me your opinions,re our anniversary. I dare say, we shall continue to celebrate on both days, as we have done over the years.

I will pop in tomorrow to speak to you. Love to all, Mo xxx

Mo, glad you got in to see one of the doctors. At least you know for sure that the virus is still hanging around, you have our sympathy as both Jennie and I know from our own experience that the blinking things can hang around for three to four months.

I think I would choose to celebrate on the 1st Mar, but Alun thinks it should be on the 28th Feb as that was the month you got married, so sorry we are not much help to you.lol!!! As Jean suggested you could celebrate on both 28th and the 1st Mar.



Ann, I liked one of the chairs, it was really comfortable but it didn't seem to go up very high, although that wouldn't bother me too much, with me being short I don't think it would be too much of a problem. Alun thought that it wouldn't be high enough to sit comfortably at the work.



Jean, do you you find the mesh back on your chair comfortable? I seen them at Sta---s, but didn't try sitting on them.



I'm going to have a hot drink now and then it's off to bed.

Goodnight all and sleep well .


Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo, if I was you I would have two celebrations, Roly could choose the meal on 28th and you could choose the march one, ....sorted.....

I never did get the sorting done so this weekend I will......I keep getting lured by the thoughts of cards :-D :-D is there no hope for me :-( :-( :-(

Sallie I have an office chair handy to turn from one side to the other...I also have a mesh back rest on it too....

I am off to bed after I have had me horlicks, nite nite, sleep well everyone.
love Jean xx

Mo I think that as long as you celebrate it doesn't matter. But you were married in Feb not March!!!! :-D

Jean that is some clear out. yes I have. Few pairs of shoes I should throw out too but got rid of loads of skirts a while back. Have so many pairs of trousers but still keep buying them. Should maybe have a sort out of those.

Sallie we can always find things to buy in the Range!!! :-D chairs are difficult as if you are like me you spend a lot of time sitting in it. :-D

Huia, glad you are ok.

Hello my lovely friends,
I managed to get to see one of the doctors in our practice this morning.
After listening to my chest and back, poking in my ears, looking up my nose, taking my temperature as my body was so hot, he came to the conclusion that I didn't have a chest infection, but that the virus I have had since christmas was still hanging around, and had gone on for to long now.
Hopefully now, I will start to feel a bit more like my old self. Thank you all for your concern.

Sallie, the date of celebration for our anniversary, is a sore subject.
My thoughts are, that we were not wed on the 28th of February, but the day that followed it.
Roly insists that we celebrate on the 28th, and thats where we differ, as I think it should be the 1st of March. :-S :-S :-S
What does everyone think, am I right or is Roly?

I will try and get back and speak to you all tomorrow.
Night night god bless.love Mo

Good morning to Huia,Sylvia and Marie.

Hello ladies,

Jean, like you I need to sort out my clothes, since last June I have lost over two stone in weight, so hav a lot that are much too big for me now. Trouble is I don't like to get rid of them because most of them have hardly been worn and too good to throw out, although I would take those to one of the charity shops. I only take a size 3 shoe so haven't got too many pairs....it's getting more and more difficult to find a size 3, so many shoe shops now start at a size 4.




Mo, hope you managed to get to see your doctor today and that he/she has been able to give you something to take so that you will soon feel a lot better.

Have you seen Lilly lately? Hope that she is fine with no more problems, Bless her. I bet she loves the new babies, I can just imagine her with them......really loving.



Alun and I took Jennie and Michael out for lunch today, thought it would be nice to give them a bit of a treat, as Michael is still signed off work with the two fractures in his elbow. He is waiting to go and see the Consultant that he sees for his back, apparently he has seen the xrays Michael has had and isn't happy about them, the fractures are not knitting together
as they should have by now. So we will just have to wait and see.

Afterwards Alun and I went to The Range, needed some glue and a few other bits and pieces. We also had a look in Staples for a chair for my craft room, but couldn't see what I wanted and the into Hobbcraft to get some card that I had seen there.



Huia, nice to hear from you, glad to know that you are ok.



Dizzi, hope all is well with you, come back and chat to us anytime you want, as everyone has said, you are always welcome.



Jeni, how are things with you? Also hope that all is well with you too.



Sylvia, not sure when you and OH get home from your trip. Hope it all went ok under the circumstances and that your friend isn't suffering too much pain at the moment. It must be so difficult for his wife and friends seeing him as he is.




Marie, also hope that you and family are all okay.



I'm going to make a couple of cards now, might pop back later on.



Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

hope you are feeling better Mo, hugs for you ((((((( x )))))))

love to you all Jean xxxx

Yes, my birthday is 11 Jan, my wedding anniversary 21 March. But please dont send me any cards, the postage is too expensive. An email or message on FB is sufficient if you must. (No smiley for 'embarrassed').

Hello there. Sorry if anybody has been worrying about me. I am fine, just dont always have anything to add, but I do look in each day.

Maybe I am sulking because nobody sent me a valentine card or flowers yesterday :-|

Thanks Ann, nice to know that Huia is ok,

I have 'seen' Huia on Facebook Sallie so think she is ok.

Ann, yes our anniversary is 28th August, the day after you and T's. I know Sylvia' and oh's anniversary is in August too but can't remember the exact date only that it is abut two weeks before mine and Alun's and that we were married the same year, 1967.

So Mo, this year do you and Roly celebrate your anniversary on the 28th Feb or the 1st March?



Jean while we were in Derby this morning I couldn't resist going in three of the craft shops, just for a quick look and ended up spending £39 between the three of them. These craft shops are like a magnet to us card makers.lol!!!



Ann, we converted our brick built garage into what was to have been a utility room only....it is a good size so thought with cupboards we would have lots of storage space. Trouble is I can't get to any of the cupboards as Alun's train layout takes over two thirds of it.....goes all around the length and the width of the space it takes up.

Oh well mustn't complain now that I have Jennie's old bedroom as my craft room.lol!!



We haven't heard from Huia and Marie for a while, hope they are both ok.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo I do hope you have managed to get some help and soon begun to feel much better..... <3 <3
I was so cold yesterday so after lunch went to bed with the electric blanket on absolute bliss slept till 4,30 would have still been there but J woke me up
:-| but felt so much better for it.... went to Range later today, not much different in , but still managed to part with £36 ;-) ;-) btwI think Huia s birthday is 11th Jan.......

love and hugs to everyone, thinking of our lovely friends overseas. take care one and all , love Jean xx <3 <3

Mo, sorry to hear you feel poorly, hope you can get an emergency appointment. awful system when you can't get an appointment when you are unwell. pointless really isn't it?

Jean, you too, hope you feel better soon too. <3

Sallie, not sure what is worse, trains or helicopters. Son used to have a model railway when he was young set up in a small cupboard/room under the eaves of our last house. He is now building a new one taking up a whole spare bedroom in their house. (They have a 5 bed house.)

Mo and R anniversary 29th Feb
Sally anniversary 29 (I think or 28) August.
Ann & T anniversary 27 August.

Sylvia has just had her birthday in January I think but not sure of the date. :-D

Mo, hope that you can get in to see the doctor sometime tomorrow. I know Richard and Christie have had a problem getting an emergency appointment once or twice and had to go to the Walk in Centre not to far from where they live. Both had to pay around £25 each, but it was worth it just to see the doctor as it was when Richard had shingles and the time when Christie had a water infection, so both needed medication.

Hope you will feel better soon, take care of yourself and keep warm.

We have had a busy day, went to Derby this morning, luckily I managed to get what I needed, came home and had a quick lunch and then had to pop up town and then we went to A--da to do the weekly shop, so we are both now shattered and don't feel like doing much at all.


Ann, hope you both enjoyed your time spent in town with Jude and Vic today.


I haven't even thought about what we are having for our dinner this evening, we did think about going out for a meat but thought it might be too crowded with it being Valentines Day.
Maybe we'll go tomorrow evening instead.


Well I will speak to you all tomorrow.


Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi girls, just a quickie, as I am feeling poorly today. I tried to get to see my doctor today, but the soonest I could see her would be next Friday.
So I will ring at 8 a.m in the morning for an emergency appointment.
I just cant seem to shake this blessed virus,it's been hanging around since christmas, and today I am full of the sweats and shivers, plus I have got this hacking blessed cough.
Speak to you tomorrow hopefully.
Love and hugs Mo xxx
