Hi all, Sallie I thought I was never going to get to the end of your post :-D :-D

I have enough Christmas cards made but can't seem to get out of the habit of making them so will have a good start on next year.

Very damp and cold here today with a light frost this morning. My feet are freezing at the moment and the heating is on too. I do so hate winter.
Not done a lot today. T did some tidying up in the garden for an hour, I have made a couple of cards and we went to Tesco, but that is it really.

Hi girls,

It's very quiet on here. Have you all gone on holiday? If you have, I hope it is somewhere warm and sunny.lol!! After having frost very early this morning it has been a wet, dark and miserable day here.


Sylvia, hope that they can help your sister-in-law if as they think she is likely to have cancer.

Hope your OH has a safe and good trip to China. Take care of yourself..





Huia, how are things going at the Charity Shop? Hope that the trade has started to improve now.

Hope that things are not too bad with Phil.




Jean, how are things with you, J and D? I hope you are all okay and also the rest of the family.

When is your grt grandchild due? I know you have told us, but my memory isn't as good as it use to be.lol!!





Ann, hope that you and T are okay. Have you finished making your Christmas? I expect you have by now as you are usually organised....not like me, last minute with most things.lol!!





Mo, how are things with both you and Roly? Hope things will be sorted out for you very soon.

Did you have a dart's match last night? If you did, hope you and your partner won this week.


Over the last few days we have had a problem with a mole under the patio. We have had three molehills of sand that it has managed to dig up between the slabs that we have down. I think all in we have well over a bucket of sand. We have lived in this house for nearly 22years and have never had any trouble before now.

Michael's grandad and dad were farmers, and they use to put poison down to get rid of them.....but Jennie and I don't like the thought of harming the one or two moles we have. Poor little things!




Joyce, haven't heard from you for a couple of days. Hope you are alright.




Marie, hope you and your family are all well.




Linda, if you are looking in, hope all is well with you and your family.




Jude, hope you and all your are also alright.



I hope I have't missed anyone out, sorry if I have.



Take care everyone.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Yes, Sylvia, I have had a couple of colonoscopies since my sister had it. All clear so far. :-)

Thanks Liz, and Huia


Huia ..........

........ bowel cancer is in their family


OH had it (2005), his father had it, and f-i-l's mother had it.


That is 3 generations!

sis-i-l has been under watch, and all our children have been told to start having tests when they reach the age of 40.

Sylvia, please pass on my best wishes for a good recovery for your sister in law. My younger sister had bowel cancer.

Hi there Liz, if you are still there.

At least your sister in law was treated very fast Sylvia, I am impressed and hope things aren't as bad as feared or that any cancer has not spread and can be dealt with. Positive thoughts for your sister in law

Lizx

I didn't tell you earlier .................

OH's sister had to go to the doctor last week because she felt a lump in her abdomen. By Friday, she had had scans, MRI and a colonoscopy

The surgeon did not think there was cancer there, that it was a bit of the small intestine folding into the large intestine, but he wanted it out.

She had to travel 400 km on Saturday by train to the nearest town that has a surgeon to do the operation. That's what happens when you live in the Far North!


She had the operation earlier today .......... OH phoned the hospital about an hour ago, and she was still in ICU, pretty groggy, but the nurse let him speak to her.


It is 90% certain that there is some cancer there :-( :-( :-( :-(

The question is, how much and has it spread?

They will determine that, then decide on the treatment.


OH has to go to China tomorrow (Tuesday). He'll be there for 12 days.

......... so I'll be the link between him and his sister (and / or her daughter who is the official NOK)




we're all a bit shaken ................ but pleased at how fast things happened!


Take care everyone



BTW .................... PLEASE, don't anyone put up a thread about this.

I am sorry to hear about Caz, and the problems you have been having, Joyce.

I have been without the internet for 4 days but finally found out what the problem was when I was talking on the phone to one of the techsperts from my ISP. Somehow my username and password had been removed from the dial up sign in. I am blowed if I know how it happened :-S but it is sorted now :-D

Dutch

I do not think that Ron meant any harm .............

.................. he was thinking of YOU, of saving you the hassle of emailing people, dealing with buying the flowers, and sending the donations. Then letting people know how much was collected and donated.

You yourself are not in the best of health, and suffer from your nerves.

You also get yourself in a tizzy over things.

He thought it would make life a little easier for you.


He was not being nasty in the same sense that others have been in the past.



Ron is NOT that kind of person ........ he's is a very kind man.



Please try to see it in that way.





sylvia

So sorry to hear of Caz's sad demise. She will be sadly missed. Rest in peace dear friend.

It's a sad day for Philip and family and for all Caz's friends on this thread. We shall all miss Caz on here, she was such a lovely lady and friend.

Thinking of Philip and all the family and friends.
