Good evening girls,
Well what a lovely time we had at the meet in Victoria. It was so nice to see all the friendly faces from the last meet,and a nice new friend Carol with numbers as well.

Mt son has got his appointment to see the specialist, it's on May the 6th.
Quite a way off yet I know, he is talking about going back to work tomorrow, with the understanding that if he feels unwell he can go home again.
God willing if he does light duties he should be o.k, but he gets tired very quickly.

Oh Caz, PLEASE get that ankle sorted love, I dont like to think of you in so much pain.
It's not surprising that you don't feel up to making your cards, you have been pretty poorly just lately what with one thing or another.
Bless you sweetie,take care.

Hi there Sylvia, hows things over there. Whats your weather doing at the moment? The last we heard it was not to good was it.
After some lovely weather earlier in the week, today has turned very cold.
It was so cold waiting for the train this morning to go to the meet,I very nearly turned round and went home again. But I am glad I didn't.

I wish you lived a little closer Ann and Sallie, it would have been nice to have met you today as well.
But then with the way the petrol situation is, it's a long way by road isn't it.

Big ~~~~~~~~~~~ to Huia and Marie across the miles, just to let you know I am thinking of you both.

Nighty Night girls, god bless love Mo xxx

Hi all
xxx


sad to see that Jean is leaving.



It has been great "knowing" you, Jean. Take care of yourself. xxxx

Sallie, I bet when you make one card you won't stop Lol!!!

And you too caz, maybe it will lift your mood a little if you can manage to sit and make some. Sorry that your ankle still hurts, it should be better by now so a good idea to get it X-rayed.

Have a great time tomorrow Mo. :-D

Hi girls hope you are all ok, Sally it amuses me every time I see your daughters name, my daughter is Jenny but spelt that way and is her proper name not shortened. I haven't made any cards for ages but I have quite a few birthdays in May so better get cracking. I hope you are feeling a bit better by now, I feel so fed up and down don't know whats wrong with me.
My ankle is up and down, it's hurting last day or two so I am going to get it x-rayed beginning of next week.
I don't think Jean will stay away for long, she will look in to read then might rejoin. There are only a few of us originals left I think isn't there, nice to see all the old names here, but nice to see new names popping up.
Tea is ready so will see you all later.

Love Caz xx

HI Ladies,

Just a quick look in before we go over to Jennie's. Hope you are all ok.


Yes, we will all certainly miss Jean. Hope we will all be able to keep in touch with you, so that we know how you and your family all are.


Ann, sorry not sure if you asked on here or Shaun's thread if I was having a rest from card making. Yes, I'm having a break for a while, I want to do some more family history research again, so will need a bit more time to do it. I might make the odd card or two, but not the amount I have been doing for a while. I had so many birthday cards to make for March, that I didn't even take photos of them.

Hope your daughter is getting over her treatment and feeling a lot better now.



Caz, glad to hear that your ankle is feeling a lot better. You must feel
so relieved that it has healed.



Mo, hope have a great time at the London meet tomorrow, enjoy yourself and take care.

How is your son doing? I hope by now that he's heard about an appointment at the hospital. I have asked about him, maybe a page or two back, but you missed my post. Anyway, I hope all goes well for him when he sees the Specialist.

Michael picked up some petrol on his way home from work last night, the chap at the garage told him that they had to call the police early yesterday because some of the customers were fighting over the empty gerry cans. Stupid lot!



Well we are going to keep Jennie company for a couple of hours now while Michael is in work. She has had another flare up this week so is now on Steroids, she's slowly getting better though, thank goodness.


Hope you all have a good weekend. Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Mo no problem I will keep in touch you wont get rid of me....lol... have a lovely time at the meet,hope Roly is ok we are doing fairly well so pet I will write or phone soon.

love Jean xx

Hello my friends,
I can't wait to get my laptop back, I just can't get on with this one of my sons, it wobbles all over the place, and makes me feel sea sick.

Oooh we will miss our Jean wont we girls. Please keep in contact my lovely,I shall miss you so much.
Also knowing how J+D are is important to me. MWAH Jean.

Ann, this thread will stay where it is,as it's lovely to catch up with everyones news.
It's the same here where the petrol situation is concerned. Roly HAD to get petrol yesterday, people were going crazy. When he joined the queue all the pumps were in use, and the back up was enormous. He waited ages to get filled up. His attitude is, if they do strike, and we run out of fuel, the car will stay where it is, and we will use shanks pony to get about.
The good lord provided us with two legs, and we should use them more often.

I hope everyone is well,and happy with this lovely weather. Dont get to used to it, as it's going to change by the weekend. ( yes mrs doom and gloom thats me)
Oh I forgot to tell you, I am going up to London on Saturday, for the Victoria meet.And I am looking forwards to it.
Take care, love Mo xxx

Hi All, won't be the same without Jean popping in will it? But keep this thread going Mo.

We had a lovely trip out to Westonbirt Arboretum today, Only there just over two hours but it was nice to get out amongst the trees in the sunshine. The Magnolias and Camelias and Rhododendrons were all lovely. Not a lot of people there, presumably most of them were in queues for petrol, although that is what it seemed like when we went past a couple of garages. Situation not helped by the local news talking about garages running out of fuel. well one they mentioned as having run out obviously had another delivery because the cars were way back down the road causing mayhem to those of us who just wanted to get into the supermarket. (T***O). Anyway we enjoyed our trip and had a picnic lunch in the sunshine, there was a slight cool breeze but it wasn't cold. :-)

Apologies to anyone who reads the Welsh thread as I have coied and pasted, couldn't type all that out again. :-D :-D

Certainly will, Caz...

love Jean xx

Certainly will, Caz...

love Jean xx

We will all miss you Jean, but hope you get on ok, please keep in touch.

Love Caz xx

Jean I have already said that I shall miss you on here, I know from others leaving that once they leave you tend to lose touch which is a shame. By all means continue to send me pics for the blog. I bet you are going to miss us as much as we miss you Lol!!!

Joyce, I will PM you the address again.

Oh Jean, I'm really sorry that you are not going to renew your membership, we shall all miss seeing you on here and hearing how you and your family are all getting on. Just take care and look after yourself.


Joyce, not too bad today thanks, heard from the Counsellor this morning, I start seeing her a week tomorrow, thank goodness.

Hope you are feeling a bit better today, and not overdoing things.
Take care.



Mo, hope your son has heard about seeing a Specialist by now.
Also hope that your laptop has been repaired by now.

Good afternoon ladies,

Had problems getting onto any threads on here yesterday. I tried several times so gave it up in the end. I know other members had the same problem as I did, each time I clicked on a thread the only think I got was the Error message each time.



Mo, hope they have managed to fix your laptop? Hope it won't to long before it is ment...... we miss seeing you on here.

Has your son heard anything about an appointment at the hospital yet? They seem to be taking their time about it, still, I suppose that's normal these days throughout the UK.

How is Lilly getting on? I hope that she is OK. I bet she's into everthing now.lol!!! Oh they are lovely at that age, it's great to watch them. Sending her lots of hugs and kisses!!!!!!



Caz, glad to hear that your ankle is feeling a lot better, maybe that now the bruising is coming out it it will continue to improve.

Yes thank you, I feel a good bit better than I've been feeling, but this virus that both Jennie and I have had over the last couple of weeks haven't helped.

I've had problems with my eyes being very red and sore, and also for the first time in my life I've suffered with earache, the doctor tells me that it's all caused by a virus that's going around.
The Consultant at the hospital has put Jennie on a course of steroids, she is now suffering from a Crohn's flare up, which all the doctors seem to think is also caused by a virus.



Sylvia, glad to hear that you and OH are both alright. Let's hope that MJ will soon get rid of his colds once and for all and also his mum and dad.
My father-in-law always reckoned that if he picked up a cold off a child it was always worse than if he had picked it up from an adult. It alawys took longer to get better.
Sending MJ lots of hugs and kisses!!!!



Joyce, now that we are all having this lovely weather you will have to sit out in the daylight a bit more, that will help with your vitamin D.
If you have a table outside you coul perhaps make a couple of cards while you are sitting there.
Hope the hospital will soon be able to sort out the problem with your kidneys. Will be thinking about you.



Ann, hope you and T are both OK. I expect you have both been busy with the gardening over the last few days, with all the lovely weather we have been having.



Linda, hope everyone in your family are all alright I expect your grandson is coming along in leaps and bounds now, bless him. Sending him lots of hugs and kisses.!!!


Jean, how are you and Jeff since you are home from your holiday?
Hope Jeff managed all the driving he had to do without any problems.
Also hope that things are going along alright for Debra.



Huia and Marie, hope all is well with both of you and your families.



Well I must go now, have a couple of jobs to do, so will speak to you all soon.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello All
got my results back from my blood tests today not good ,our docter as some of you may know does not speak english so hubby has to tell me what he says well first he gave me my letter for x-ray on my hip but then told Jan not to make appointment because of my blood and vit D is very low ,then he said to Jan your wife is brave lady i ask Jan what he mean,nt and he said its your blood anyway he has sent aletter off to the hospital for me to get appointment but it may be my kidneys ,also one of my nurses has said that i have had mini stroke which i know nothing about,so will have to wait and see what happens
Waves to everyone Sallie keep taking the tablets
Love Dutchxx

Hi all, OMG it's even hotter than yesterday, all windows open and it's 82c in the room, we have all the blinds down but it doesn't make any difference. If it keeps on like this and we don't get any rain we will definately have a drought.
My ankle seems to be getting better but I have a lovely big bruise, looks like my heel is dirty, lol. I have to have it x-rayed next week before I see the doc, it seems to have been a long job..
Hope you are feeling a bit better Sally.

See you all later.

Love Caz xx

xxx

Caz ......... glad to hear that your foot seems to be improving.





everything's good over here ................... MJ has got another cold!! He seems to have just got better from one, and then gets another. And, of course, mum and dad also catch them



take care, everyone
