Hello to you all,
I have finally managed to find some time to sit down and catch up a little bit I have only managed to read this page.

Carol and Joyce I am sorry to hear you are both having more pain ,I do hope that your pain will ease, and that you will be able to do your Card making once more.
Dutch how was the Party?
It sounds like you are having a very cold winter, we still havent had Summer like we normally do, we have had a lot of rain and last week we had 3 bad Hail Storms it wiped out my vegetable garden and also all the annuals that I had planted so I wont be freezing any of the veggies for winter.We havent had any tomatoes ripen, far to cool and not enought sun.
I will be going back to Gym this coming week, hopefully my knees will hold up to the work.
I will be doing the tutoring for the Singing for pleasure group again this year we will be starting on the 10th Feb.
How is Jean and family going I hope they are well .

Sallie I was sorry to hear about your school friend who passed away so suddenly, what a shock for their family, not doubt later on they will realize that it was better for him to go quickly than to watch him suffer, like what Sylvia's friend and her husband are going through.

Thank you all for thinking of me I am still having my down day's but hopefully thing's will get better soon.
.
Hi Huia, congratulations on your Grandson.
Have there been any tremor's where you live.? I hope that they are all finished ,it certainly has been a bad year for NZ and for OZ,.

I was hoping that this year would be better for us all, but the heavy rain is causing floods once more in Qld. and also Northen NSW, just on our property alone we have lost so much topsoil, last year we put in several more drains to try and stop the water washing away the soil, but the rain is just so heavy that everything overflows , we get all the water from the property's further up the hill from us, as well .

Hi Ann I hope all is well with you and also your family.

Mo you may be able to get some new players for your Tuesday Dart's game.

I guess I had better close as there is work to do ,not that I feel like doing anything
Love to you all

Good evening all
Ann I hope that you have an amazing holiday and that the cream works well for you this time and no nasty side effects. Is it more likely that you would develop shingles again. Your surgeon sounds an amazingly understanding man.

Sallie I hope you are well you will do cards again when you have some motivation I am sure. I just finished some baby clothes knowing the baby should be here within the month.

Jean I hope your cards turn out well and that you have more confidence after the problems at Christmas with the internet.

Well Carol what can I add except I hope your ankle isn't too painful and that it heals OK and you rest a bit. Shame your warden is changing but she needed to be near her husband. My FIL has the same problem in that his warder is only part time and never around when needed.

I hope Joyce is OK too as I haven't been around much having been away and now my body clock is up the creek and I am dropping early evening, but now wide awake. Oh well we had a lovely time But always good to be home.

Best Wishes to everyone

Sorry if I missed anyone

Linda xxx <3 <3 <3

I asked him if it could be done after our holidays (3 of them and he agreed it wouldn't be a problem

Pleased to hear that Caz is home Jean. I think if you don't mind I'll leave the cards photos until tomorrow, a bit tired tonight after traipsing into town and getting drenched walking from the hospital. It just bucketed down.

Ann, I hope that the cream will get rid of all the smaller ones for you.I also hope that after using the Aldara cream you won't get shingles.
At least you don't have to cancel your holiday in Tenerife, so will get a break before having it done. All the same it will be nice when it's all sorted for you. Good luck!

Hope daughter's getting on alright, it will also be nice when she will have finished her treatment too. Thinking of you both.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Ann, she is home after being at the hospital most of the day, just wish we lived nearer to her, no doubt she will have to go back to see if the cast is o.k. thanks for your good wishes, sorry to hear about the ulcers.....
J had one taken off near his eye early last year , he due to go and have a check up next week....

Sallie, I will tell Caz what you said although she may manage to get a look on here , it has shaken her up quite a lot, poor darling....
have you done any cards? once I get going everything else is forgotten...
I have taken pics of them so hopefully you will get to see them...

love Jean xx

Thanks Jean, poor Caz she does suffer. Is she home or in hospital I wonder?

Sallie well, the one on my leg he has been watching he wants to 'cut' out but he is happy to leave it until after all holidays so hopefully that will be done in June, together with another one he spotted on my front just above my right boob (a small one) He would rather he cleared that with Aldara cream because of the cosmetic implications. (Obviously thinks I am too old for shorts

Then he looked at my back where I knew I had one and that one has also to be removed. (In June)

The one on my leg he wants to first try with more Aldara and also 5 (five) others he spotted on my back, mostly small ones so i have two lots of Aldara which T has to put on my back for me for 5 days a week for 6 weeks (finishing just before 10 March). So fingers crossed that the cream sorts the small ones out. Getting fed up now. Anyway have to wait for the appointment which hopefully will be 28 June (he is only there Thursdays) and will be for 40 minutes. :-D :-D Aldara cream I used last year, it cured one and not the other so fingers crossed. The only trouble with that is, it is a foem of chemotherapy cream and after I had finished it I developed shingles.

Jean thanks for letting us know about Caz. Please give her my love and tell her that I am thinking about her. I know she has enough to contend to without this.

How are things with you? Hope you are getting along okay.It certainly sounds as though you are busy with your card making.


Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello everyone I have just put a thread up for Y/Caz. she has had another fall and broke her ankle so she wont be on here for some time
I am so sorry for her she isnt well at the best of times now this wont help her at all.... I know you will keep her in your thoughts and prayers...

I havent been on for a while, very busy trying to build my stock of cards up, hope you are all well got to go and make tea. bye for now.
love Jean xx

Sylvia, sorry to hear that you have caught OH's cold....still you can't complain that he didn't bring you anything back.lol!!! Anyway, I hope that it will clear without causing any problems for you. Take care and keep warm.



Caz, I'm so sorry to hear about your leg being swollen amongst your other problems. Hope you will be able to see the doctor tomorrow and he/she will be able to give you something to take the swelling down so that it will be easier for you to walk. Will be thinking about you.

I'm also sorry to hear that Carol is leaving, you shall certainly miss her, as all the other residents will.



Ann. hope your appointment goes well with the Dermatolagist tomorrow.
You are doing well with your card making. You put me to shame.lol!!


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi all
xx

wasn't it kind of him to bring me a "present" from England :-) :-)

Ann they moved to Pontifract a month ago to follow her husbands job and she finds it a long way to come. We will all miss her as she is lovely and will do anything for us as long as it's not leaving the building, shop etc. Saying that she once picked my prescription up for me from the chemist,(carrierbag full) but it took her so long she darent do it again, bless her.
I haven't met the new warden yet, they were supposed to call in at about 4-30 but not arrived up to now, Carole said that last night it was 7 o-clock before they finished meeting the residents, she finishes at five normally.

Oh is home now so see you later.

Love Carole

Just back from shopping. All go here today. Opticians this morning and new specs ordered and T**** this afternoon, the looking at carpets for OH's 'office'. He wants a fairly small bit but so far not found anything.

Made 10 cards in the past two days so had a rest today. Intended writing some overdue letters but that got knocked on the ehad. We were intending to shop tomorrow but I had a phone call offering me an appointment with the dermatolagist for tomorrow afternoon. as they usually forget to send for me until a month later than they should I decided tot ake it. Check up on the rodent ulcer and suspected one. Not my favourite appointment as I never know when he is going to be wealding the scalpel.

Caz Sorry you have been unwell, hope you can get a bit of relief from the back pain and something for the swollen leg. Is the new warden nice? Why is Carol leaving? You will miss her being on the premises.

Mo, you will miss going out Mondays won't you. When Roly asked when the kettle was going on you should have said 'when you do it' :-D

Hello girls, sorry I haven't been on for a while but have not been very well last few days. My leg has started swelling so much that I can't walk with it, can't walk at best of times, lol. Then I have this sickness for last three days and my back is hurting so I may call the doctor in tomorrow, Oh what a pleasant life it is.
Our housing warden is leaving tomorrow so I am just waiting for her to come up for a last visit, someone else will take over but Carol lives here with us, well she did, the new one will just call in about three times a week but check on the intercom every day.
Sallie I haven't made any cards for ages but keep looking at my stash so I will get some made soon.
She has just rung to say she will be 20 mins so time for a cuppa first.
See you all later, sorry its so short.

Love Caz xx

Hi Sallie,
Yes , I have been busy playing words with friends on Face Book, it's a game that is the same as Scrabble, great fun if you enjoy word games.
Mind boggling at times, especially when the time is getting on, and the brain has decided it wants to go to sleep. lol
I am still playing darts twice a week at the moment, but our Monday night team, is folding at the end of this season. Three people are dropping out, and besides that, the team had become rather boring and no fun anymore.
The Thursday team is great fun, well it is at the moment anyway, so I will wait and see.
I dont really want to give up the game completely, as then I wouldn't be seeing the friends I have made over the years.
Oh Oh, Roly has just asked me what time the kettle is going on this afternoon, so I had better go.
Love to all. Mo xxx

Hello Girls,

Gosh where have you all gone.....it's so quiet on here lately. I've had a few ' off ' days this last week, so sorry I haven't been on here
.

Sylvia, hope that your friend won't suffer for to long now. I remember you telling us about what had happened to her at the conference last year. It doesn't seem like a twelve month.....time goes by so quickly.



Huia, sorry abot that I knew that it was a boy but for some reason wrote down grt,granddaughter. I think it must be due to the funny week I've been having.lol!!




Mo, I see that you have been busy playing word games on FB with a couple of other GR members.lol!!! Do you still play darts on a Monday and Thursday.....or is it the end of the season,it thats what it's called? Anyway good luck if you still play and with the word games too.




Well I must get ready to go and do the shopping now so will speak to you all soon.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Just popping in to say hello to you all.
All is well here in Kent, I hope you are all o.k as well.
I must try and get on here earlier tomorrow, but it's just been one them days today, and the time has flown by.
Take care everyone. Love to all. Mo xxx

Hi everybody.

I hope if I get anything terminal I have plenty of warning so I can finally get rid of a lot of my junk. My son and daughter wont thank me if I leave heaps of paper for them to sort through.

Sally, it is a BOY, or it was, last I knew. A great grandSON. Marcus. I havent seen them for a couple of weeks. I will probably wait until next month when he is a little bit older. (Well, he isnt likely to be younger is he?)

The weather here today has been beautifully sunny. I was working in the shop again this afternoon, but then I am not one for sunbathing.

Huia.
