General Chat

Hello all, Mo, hope that Roly soon gets shot of whatever is causing the pain, sounds more like a boulder than a stone!!

Marie, good to see you posting. I do love a bath and always said I would not be happy without one. However, when we go to tenerife we only have a bath and I don't miss it at all. Good idea to have the shower room without a ledge in case you need it that way in the future.

Well the sun is shining now and it was shining at 10.30am when we went out. However, we have not long got in and we drove through a tremendous downpour and through roads flooded far deeper than I have ever driven through. The main Gloucester Cheltenham road was badly flooded in one place, we didn't realise how deep it was until we got to the middle of it (I was not driving, OH was thankfully). Luckily everyone was driving very slowly and carefully as, besides driving through the flood the rain was coming down so hard that visibilty was very poor. But now, as I said, the sun is shining and it is like a spring day out there. Weird weather!!

Speak to you soon. Take care.

I saw Sylvias news on another thread but I'll say well done again.

Love the witch Huia, hope she didn't make any spells on here.

in fact ((((((((((((((((((((((( x )))))))))))))))))))))) all round

love Jean,xxx

Sorry, Sylvia, I should have said what great news that is for you, but it was getting close to dinner time so I just put my witch on in a hurry. I will have to remove her some time so I dont put a hex on you or anybody else.

Huia.

Sylvia what brilliant news for you, (and us of course, thats me being selfish).
Fingers crossed about the radiation treatment, but I take my hat of to you, you are a very brave courageous lady, to have gone through what you have, and come out the other side as strong as you have.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 CONGRATULATIONS. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3.

I thought that I would have to Dial 999 and get an ambulance for Roly yesterday afternoon.
He was in agony with pains in his side. It ended up with us rushing up to the doctors, and luckily theu saw him straight away.
The doctor seems to think he has got kidney stones, so is arranging for an emergency scan for him. But I will wait and see on that, what I consider an emergency, they probably dont.
But believe me, if he gets the pains again, we are going striaght up to A+E.
The doctor has told him to take Paracetamol, and an anti-inflamatory to help with the pain.
I am making him drink as much as is possible, to try and flush the stones through him.
The saucy doctor said,the way to check if he is passing a stone, is for Roly to P through a sieve, Roly's response was he would use a pair of my tights instead. Stupid boy isn't he, he should know that my tights would never fit him. lol ;-)

I hope everyone is well, and staying safe and warm.
Speak to you all again soon. Love Mo xxx

Sylvia, wonderful news! I'm so pleased for you. Hope all goes well with the radiation chap and that you won't need the radiation.

Glad you and OH had a lovely weekend with your visitors, as you say, it's lovely to sit and have a good natter with friends that you haven't seen for a long time.
Take care.



Huia, I love the photo, you really entered into the spirot of Trick or Treat.lol!!

Hope all is well with Phil.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Hee hee hee, cackle cackle (where did that egg come from?). I have picked the flower and thrown it away.

Witchypoo.

Hi all
xxx


Nice to see everyone coming back.

Sue .... I love that piece in your avatar!


I went to see the surgeon this morning ......... only had to wait 15 minutes past the appointment time


She went through the pathology report ................ everything is clear, although I did apparently have both pre-cancerous and "atypical cells" of lobular cancer spread throughout the tissue

so da*n good job it was found so early.

AND bloomin' lucky that I opted for the mastectomy!!


I have been referred automatically to the Cancer Agency to see a radiation specialist ......... but the surgeon sees no need for me to have any further treatment. But the radiation guy makes the final decision ......... and she said he is a very practical guy.


so it looks like I won't have to have any radiation ....... we'll know more next Monday when I go to the Cancer Agency.


But it felt like a load of my shoulders this morning :-D :-D :-D

Sylvia, is it today you go to see the Specialist that did your operation? If so, I hope all goes well for you. Will be thinking about you.

Hope all our other friends on here are alright,

Love, Sallie.xxx

Hi Marie, it's great to see you back, we all missed you. So pleased to hear that your family reunion went well. I wasn't sure when you were due home.

I hear from Dutch, she's not too good at the moment, one of one of her legs is very swollen., so it's very painful. She doesn't come on GR very much now, but I'm hoping that she will soon start coming on again.

Both Alun and I are okay, thank you. Hope your family are all okay too.


I'll speak to you soon.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello to you all , it is so nice to be back, I have spent the last week in the garden putting the summer veggies in,I have almost finished the job.

.How are you Sylvia I hope every thing is good and your new's re lumps are ok.I noticed some one made a comment about your Husband and Ladder's ??

Mo it sound's as if you have had a short break and you enjoyed it.good for you.
Caz it was nice to see you posting I hope you are not in too much pain.

Sallie & Ann I guess you are very busy with your card making with Xmas not that far away.
Hi Huia how did your Speech go was it a campaign speech ?

Hi Sue in Somerset, Welcome Back .
My ancestors came from West Coker Somerset. I organized a Family reunion for the Hayward's , it was held in Queensland the 1st weekend in October and it was a wonderful success, we had a great time it was so nice to see all our long lost relatives, some came from England, New Zealand ,New Genuia and the rest from New South Wales and Queensland.
They are already asking when we will have the next one LOL When some one else steps up to organize it says I.

Hello to you Jean have you been kicking up you Heels I hope you and J are well also your Daughter. I have to leave must go and put some water on the plants
Love to you all
Marie Ps. how is Dutch has anyone heard from her? <3 <3 <3

You send them Sallie, when I have time I'll put them on for you.

Been out most of the day in Cheltenham, shopping and having lunch so not much time to be on here. Made three cards this afternoon as well.

glad to see you back Mo and that you had a good time. Begars beleif somebody stealing the cable, ia ssume it was metal of some sort and worth money as scrap. Low lifes.

Glad you stayed safe travelling and you as well Sallie.

Some more of Jean's cards on the blog.

Mo lovely to see you back and to hear that you had a great time. I think it's nice to go away but it's always nice to get back to your own home and bed. As the saying goes, 'There's no place like home'.

Pleased to hear that the weather was good too....shame about the problem with the trams, there are some rotten people about to steal the cable liike that. Anyway, hope your feet get better each day, Mo.




We enjoyed our time with Richard and Christie, it was nice to see them both.
They are hoping to come up to see us all next month, if their funds allow.






Sue, lovely to see you back with us, as the others have said hope you keep popping to see us.... we all missed you when you left
Really sorry to hear about your husband, I can only imagine how difficult it has been for you. As you know we are all here for you, so anytime you are feeling down and need someone to talk to, you know where to find us all.

Good to hear that you are still doing your engraving and that it's all going well for you.



Caz, Jean, Sylvia, Ann and Tess hope things are okay with you all. Huia, hope you enjoyed your weekend in Dunedin and that all went well with your speech.




Take care all of you. Speak to you soon.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xx

Coooeeee girls, the daft old bat is back, just in time for Halloween.
Oooh it's so nice to be back home again, back in my own bed,and routine.
My poor feet, I have had blisters upon blisters on my toes, all that walking, has fair worn me out. Talk about being out of shape, physical excercise didn't come into it. lol
Some rotten so and so, had stolen the cable for the trams further up the line from us, and every time we waited for a tram they turned up full to bursting, so we had to walk.
One day, we were waiting, and a lady said she had been waiting since 9.45a.m, and this was at 11.15a.m, and she said that every one had been full. Bless her, she was unable to walk very far, so she was waiting in the hopes that there would be enough room for just one more passenger on one of them, so that she could get down to the town.
Our weather was very good, no rain at all during the day, but they told us it had rained during the night, but I was sound asleep and never heard it. I slept like a log, from sheer exhaustion, but my bed at home is the best.
We were unable to get into the Ice show, as the run had finished. Now we could not understand this, because whenever we go up to Blackpool, it is always around my birthday, and it has always been on before.
We didn't get to the Circus either, because now you have to pay a lot more to go in, you cant just go into the Tower and into the ballroom and pay the extra for the circus, you have to pay a larger amount altogether, they dont separate it.
And by golly, you should have seen the queues waiting to buy tickets.
That was the only problem, it was half term, and the whole town was heaving with people.
But all in all, it was great.
The only thing was, the journey back, took us 8 hours. We got stuck in traffic on the M1, the M25 and hit the Queen Elizabeth bridge at the wrong time, it took us an hour to get over it.
Today I have managed to catch up on all the washing. How can two adults make so much washing over a five day period. :-(
It is so nice to read back on all your posts. Sylvia....such good news from you my love, keep up the good work, and forbid your hubby getting on any ladders of any kind in future.
Hi Sue, lovely to have you back amongst our happy brood, keep popping in and seeing us.

Well girls, I must away, and get the washing in, before it decides to rain on it.
Take care one and all. Love Mo xxx

Oooh by the way, I believe Marie said she would be back by the 28th of the month.
And dont forget to alter those clocks tonight girls, for those of us in the U.K that is. An extra hour in bed, huh, thats a laugh ,our body clocks still wake us up at the same time don't they.
Byeee. xxx
