You are in my thoughts Caz 24/7 Love and hugs Mo xxx

Thank you all for the support you are giving me, I really feel as if it helps me with the bu**er (no other word for it that's not nice). Also for the chain of love and support and it's lovely to know how many friends I have on the thread who care.

Love Caz xx

Aaah Huia, I did wonder if there had been a mistake over Tui, things did not seem to pan out right did they. lol

Sylvia, I bet it seems very quiet in your house now that little man has gone.
Lets hope things are well up at the cabin, and that you have not had anymore intruders, either human or beast lol

Caz, I am sorry to hear your bad news, but, come on girl you can beat this Bu**er again, you've got us all supporting you, and we will be here for you 24/7 if you need to yell, shout, swear or just an ear to bend, call on us.

Hi girls, thank you for your good wishes and prayers, and thank you Jean for putting it up. I don't know how I feel at the moment except to fight the bu**er again, I've done it twice before so it can be done. It was my doctor who rang me to tell me, I will know more when I see my oncologist. As if I didn't have enough wrong with me at the moment without this.

Love Caz xx

Jean, really sorry to hear that it has returned, I'm sure she was devastated when she heard the news.

Caz, sending you lot's of thoughts and and pray that you find the strength to fight it again.

Love, Sallie.xxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Caz, sending you many thoughts and prayers as you fight this one. <3 <3 <3

Dear friends, I would be grateful if you will pray and send positive thoughts for Caz , she has just been told the cancer has come back, as you may guess she is very down at the moment , she isnt sure just were it is, but will let us know if she finds any more out.... she is such a lovely lady and its heartbreaking to hear this latest news, She needs all our love and thoughts , join the chain around her please here
is my hand........
many thanks, love Jean xx <3 <3 <3

Hi Mo

and everyone



Took my daughter, s-i-l and grandson to the airport earlier. Tjose 13 days have passed very quickly!

They are now on their way home ............... there was a bit of a kerfuffle at the airport.

They were originally booked Vancouver-> Edmonton, Edmonton-> Halifax, with a 30 minute break in Edmonton

but the plane on the first leg was 20 minutes late ................ the agent thought it very probable that they would also miss the connection!

So she re-booked them ................. we thought they were taking a LONG time to check-in!!

She booked them on Vancouver-> Calgary, and Calgary-> Halifax ................... but the first plane left 1 hour earlier than the original flight plan. That was only 40 minutes after they'd finished checking-in ................ so they immediately went through security.


and the second one will arrive in Halifax about 45 minutes earlier!


OH had to phone s-i-l's mother in NS so she could pass on a message to her husband that he needed to be at that airport earlier than planned :-D




I should be around more now ........ although we are going up to our cabin from Wednesday to Saturday next week. I have no internet access up there.

Hello Mo, im having a bit of a quiet weekend, FD. has gone to see her mother and brother, i hope it goes ok but i don't think it will, but we will be at the station and pick the pieces up, she is such a lovely young thing.

Does anyone know if its common for young teenage girls to be very lethargic, ive taken her for a blood test but that was fine, she basically goes to college home eat then sleeps, ive booked another appointment see what doctor says, but the nurse did say her teenager is the same, i expect changing circumstances don't help.

well i hope its a little cooler tomorrow cant cope with this heat, and ive gone and got my appetite back since ive been using my cpap machine. xx

Mo, there are about 200 trees in Ancestry who have Tui m to John Downing b 1723. Most of the trees have her b in Ireland (wrong) and quite a few have decided she was b 1725 and died 1815 in Auckland NZ. They also have her (and my) dad correctly named with correct y.o.b. 1899, so he was born after she died! They also have correct name of our mother, but b in Massacheusetts in 1908 instead of Hamilton NZ in 1900. They also have our grandparents and gt grandparents, most with the correct names, (one incorrect surname), some with wrong p.o.b., but all b in the 19th century, well after Tui was allegedly b and married. Yanks are such an innummerate bunch, or at least the ones who have this junk in their trees.

Good grief Huia, how old was Tui Mary Bettany when she married. She certainly doesn't look very old, and the fashion is surely not that of 1723, she looks very smart.
Your G.Grandson certainly seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds.

I am wondering where everyone has got to, as it's been very quiet on here lately.
I hope you are all well.
Take care, love and hugs Mo xxx

Yesterday I went to Hamilton for a funeral. As it didnt start until 1.30 I first went to my granddaughter's to have my lunch and use the little room after my long drive. My gt grandson is crawling quite well now, and apparently he pulled himself up to his feet the other day when his dad was outside, and looked out the window at him. It wouldnt surprise me if he is walking in 3 or 4 months. His gran was walking at 11 months and I think his mum was also an early walker.

I am working in the shop this afternoon for somebody else so I must get on with other things. See you all later.

Huia.

Good evening everyone, how are we this beautiful sunny day.
I have been down at my daughters, doing her garden for her. Bless her she has got rheumatoid arthritus, and can't bend very well. Plus she has got what the doctor now tells us, an upper respiratory tract infection, the doc is keeping a close eye open, in case it turns to pneumonia.
Boy oh boy, was it hot out there. I kept my cottton blouse on, as I didn't want to get burnt. But my face, good grief, I look like a jolly clown, with bright red patches on my cheeks, all I need now is the red nose to go with it, and I could join the circus.
I have just got out off the bath, after a long soak, uhmmm wonderful.
Heres hoping you are all well, as it has been very quiet on here for a couple of days now.
Take care everyone, and remember to slap the sun screen on.
Love and hugs Mo xxx

Huia at first when i read bush i was picturing a tree in your garden, well i hope the program works.

mo, knickynos to the decorating do it in the winter months when it will be mild and sunny, hope your lily gets some good news.

Im buzzing at the moment ive got my apneo attacks down to 16 per hour last 2 nights, my head is not so foggy just wish i could find the money up for my fake tan tomorrow lol, i cant sist in the sun, wish i could and the heat aggravates my conditions but im very happy.

sallie if your looking in hope your feeling better im always up for a pm if you want to chat xx

well now sun has gone to bed im off out to sit in the garden my carnations and lillies and honeysuckle smell gorgeous. xx :-D

Jean honey, the decorating is on the back boiler at the moment. In other words, I really can't be bothered with it.
Apart from that, since we had the plastering done throughout downstairs, it seems to be staying cleaner.
Fortunately with having just painted walls, I can wipe them down if they get grubby.
Roly has forgotten how to make tea my love, I firmly believe his bum is stuck to his armchair lately.
He has lost about a stone and a half in weight, but goodness alone knows how.
He decided to go for a walk last week, and as soon as he got out the front door, it chucked it down with rain. lol
Our neighbours know that if he's going out for some exercise, not to put their washing out.
At the moment we have no plans to go up north, but who knows, if we win a lot of money we may go for a fortnight. ( fat chance of that ) It would be cheaper to go away to the sun, and if I could sprout wings, thats exactly what I would do. ;-)
Tomorrow Lilly is to see the paediatrician,to get the results of her tests. I dont suppose there will be any answers anyway.
I am just hoping that she outgrows her problems.
I do know what you mean about the expense of buying for a new baby these days.
I just dont know how my grandaughter is going to cope, on her own. We certainly can't afford to buy her a brand new pram, but will help her anyway we can.
And guess what Jean, I have just come in from the garden again. No sunburn for me thank goodness.
My parasol gets moved as the sun moves. I should be going brown from all the fresh air, but I am still lily white lol
Going to have a lovely cuppa now, so I will say bye bye for now.
Love and hugs everyone. Mo xxx

Huia, having seen where you live forest is definatly the description, and remote too....but very beautiful...
how is your Phil doing these days also your littlie?
we had our two mum and dad to-be here yesterday so excited and planning what to buy and giving hints as to what we can buy...lol... cant believe how much baby stuff costs these days , £600 + for a pram no second hand ones will do...still they never thought it would happen so good luck to them...
Mo, how come you have time to sit in the sun , with all the redecorating you usually plan to do...and poor Roly
having to get his own cuppas too...tsk.... bit selfish i think.... :-P what are they going to do to Lily next , hope they sort it soon... how is the rest of the family doing?
btw are you coming up norf for the lights this year?it wont be long before they are switched on.....
we are looking to get some weekend s away in if the weather is good, just to put us on till we go in september... glad to here our Sallie is o.k. I know what she means about no news to write about, perhaps she will start doing her cards .... I am slowing down with my cardmaking , we want to have some trips out while we are able just locally and not too far from home... but it will be a nice change...
Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying the sun...
so off to get the lunch sorted see you all later take care , love Jean xxx
