General Chat

Thats good news Ann, so glad you are alive and well after all that lot. lol
The suite we had before this one, lasted us over 20 years, and that was a cream leather as well. But this one well I dont know what to say about it.
We had to wait nearly four months for it to be delivered in the first place, and that was after us having to keep chasing after it, they seemed to forget about us, once they had got their money.

Cant stop I am afraid as I need to get a bath before darts. Take care, love Mo xxx

ooh, I can chat to myself!!!

That is my MOT done for another year. Blood tests (liver, kidneys, diabetes, thyroid etc) all normal, no problems. BP OK, cholestrol, OK, Pulse OK.

Glad we have sorted that one out then, pleased to hear it is the computer that is poorly not Jean or Jeff. Thanks caz.
Good to see you chatting on here Caz, like old times. Luckily the men I make cards for have hobbies or interests. golf for OH and a friend, birds, dragons, old relics and guitars or football for the grandsons, cars for son or football or rugby. Walking and mountains for SiL.

Hello Huia, nice to see your note.

Goodness two years is a very short lifetime for a suite Mo. We have had our leather suite at least 8 years, can't remember the exact length of time.

Sallie, yes it was a shame we couldn't take our friend out but we did enjoy our trip to town.

I made three cards this afternoon, one for grandson and one for a friend's 2 year old (they are both on the blog) and a Christmas card.

Oh thanks Caz, for letting us know about Jean losing her internet connection, at least we know that they are o.k now.
Like you, we have very high winds at the moment. Thank goodness I managed to a bit off the garden last week, I don't much fancy having to go there in this wind.
I hope you are feeling a little better now love. It's nice to see you posting,we do miss you when you are not around.

Hopefully Huia should be home safe and sound now. It was nice to see her posting from the Chatham Islands.
Lets hope that while you were away Huia, that your unwanted visitors didn't move back in. lol

Mmmmm theres a lovely scent coming across the net, oooh it must be our Sylvia.
I bet that shower or bath was sheer luxury Sylv's. Did you have a nice soak, or a quick drip dry shower.
I hope you are feeling o.k love.

Whats your weather doing at the moment Ann. Are you getting the high winds as well.
I bet T is a bit choked not being able to get a game of golf. He would lose his ball, and it could end up anywhere.
My son went for a round this morning, when it was raining hard, but as he says, it's only a drop of water.
Not for me it wouldn't be, I would soon be of home. But then golfers dont seem to worry do they.
It's like people who are keen on fishing, they go out in all weathers. But I'm damned if I would sit there for hours in the rain, and go home without catching a fish. I would be tempted to go the the local wet fish shop, and buy something, so that I could go home and brag about what I had caught. lol ;-) ;-) ;-)

Wheres our Sallie got to tonight. I dont remember her saying they were going out tonight, but then I may be wrong.
Hello Sallie, for when you do look in.

Bye for now girls, love to all. Mo xxx

Hi Huia I hope you enjoyed your holiday.
I got a letter off Jean this morning, it seems that her internet is down, hopefully she will be back with us as soon as possible so we don't have to worry any more.
Sallie I was just thinking the same about cards for men, I have to make one for my BiL soon and will have to come up with an idea. I find them so hard to do. We have a gale blowing here and it's getting worse, the leaves are blowing off the trees at an alarming rate, this morning I couldn't see the moors through the big sycamore at bottom of the street, now we can see right through it to all the green moors, winter is on it's way.
Sylvia I'm so pleased for you that the drain is out, you will feel much more comfortable now, I hope you heal up quickly.

Hello to everyone else, don't know whether I'm getting old or going daft but I can't remember names these days.

Love Caz xx

Hi Huia,

Nice to hear from you from the Chatham Islands. Hope you are enjoying your holiday......have a safe and good journey home tomorrow.

Speak to you when you get back.


Love, Sallie.xx

Hello all, thought I would surprise you by saying hi from the Chatham Islands. I had only one page to read on this topic, but 12 on another! We will be heading home tomorrow, so at least not so much to read up when I get there.

My hour is now up

Huia.

Hi Girls,


Great news Sylvia. No more having to put up with the drain, I bet you can't wait for your shower tomorow. I'm sure you feel so much better for having your hair done and once you have a shower you'll feel wonderful. I'm happy for you.



Mo, your three piece suite hasn't lasted very long has it? You would have thought it should have lasted much longer than two years. It just goes to show how the quality and craftsmanship have gone down over the years.
I hope that you'll have better luck with your new one.

Hope we'll hear from Jean very soon, as both you and Caz think that maybe there's something wrong with her computer or internet.




Ann sorry that your friend wasn't well enough to go out with you and T.
At least you had a few hours out in Gloucester and your lunch out.

Did you make your youngest Grandson's birthday card after all? I think that it's sometimes more difficult on knowing what to put on some cards than others, especially cards for the men. It helps if they like sport or have a hobby, which some men I make them for, don't.


I'll say goodnight now, so will speak to you tomorrow.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Wonderful news. Pegs will be able to be removed from noses then :-D :-D :-D

I bet you will feel great after your shower. Pleased for you.

Hi everyone
xxx



Hairdresser did a lovely job on my hair yesterday. It felt so clean and "light' when I left the salon!!!



Nurse came this morning, and the drain was removed about 2 hours ago



and I can have a shower tomorrow




:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Yes, strange that we have not heard anything from Jean. Maybe she has computer trouble. There ought to be something that, if we send an e mail and the computer is down it could send an e mail back automatically saying "sorry PC is sick".

Sallie, we didn't go for our planned ride as our friend (another Jean) was unwell. As we were mainly going to give her a run out (she was widowed in April and we take her out sometimes) and the weather was a lot duller and cooler than it has been, we decided to go into town on the bus instead and save petrol. We walked down to Gloucester docks to the outlet shops, spent some money in M&S and then walked back into town to have lunch at a town centre pub that we had not been to for years.

Since then been staring at my stuff trying to sort out a birthday card for youngest Grandson.

Perhaps Jean and Jeff have gone to Wales for a short break. But then thinking about it, she would have let Caz know wouldn't she.
Now I am starting to get concerned.
JEANIEEEEEEEEE if you are around, can you please let us know that you are both o.k purleeeeezzzeee.

Thanks Sallie for pointing out about Jeans being missing. I know she doesn't come on here as often as she did before Jeffs operation , as she is caring for him, but we do miss her happy smiley face.

Ann, if it was left up to Roly, he would pass out from thirst and starvation.
We had to order ourselves a new three piece suite yesterday. The one we have is not yet two years old, but we bought it from land of leather, before they went broke.
Roly's chair has lost it's padding from the seat, and his bottom is starting to vanish into the chair itself. Before much longer he will be sitting on the floor below the seat. lol
I told him he should go on a diet to lose some weight, but his bad arthritus in his knees, prevents him from doing anything exherting, so there he sits all day in his chair,with me running ragged getting him his cups of tea. lazy so and so that he is, but I still love him for all his faults.

Heres hoping that we get some more good news from Sylvia tonight.

I hope that Huia is enjoying her holiday.

Bye for now girls, love to you all. Mo xxx

Hi everyone,


Thinking about Sylvia and wondering if they will remove the drain for her today.....really hope so.



Ann hope you all enjoyed your ride out and your lunch at the garden centre.



Also wondering why Jean hasn't been on for a while.....I got a pm from Caz this morning. she's a bit concerned that we haven't heard from her too.



I'll probably speak to you all later today.

Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sylvia, hope that the drain will deffinitely be taken out tomorrow, I'm sure you will be glad when that's done.


Pleased to hear that your family are all alright. It's a shame you might not see them until next July, as you say MJ will have changed a bit by then.

Good luck for tomorrow.



Mo, I somehow got it into my head that you were playing darts tonight but with a different team......just put it down to old age.lol!!

Yes I'm busy doing cards at the moment, I keep saying that I'm not going to bother doing them anymore, but I really enjoy making them when I'm feeling okay, so I still carry on.

No, I didn't buy anything from the craft shop up town Mo, although the ladies that own it are very nice, they don't keep a lot of the stash I use, so I tend to wait until I go to Derby, where there are four craft shops, three of which are very good.



Ann, I sent you the photos of my cards earlier on, hope you get them okay,
there are seventeen altogether.

Hope the weather stays dry for you tomorrow when you take your friend out for a ride and lunch. Enjoy yourselves anyway, which I'm sure you will.
Take care.



I had a pm from Caz earlier on, we are both wondering if Jean and Jeff are alright as she hasn't heard anything from Jean since last Thursday, which is unusual. So we are both hoping all is well there.



Well ladies, I'm just about ready for bed now, so will speak to you all tomorrow.

Take care everyone.

Love, Sallie.xxx

Aaw you spoil him Mo that is what it is.


Yes, I too hope the drain can come out tomorrow Sylvia, it will be much more comfortable for you. I am sure it feels bettter to get your hair washed too.

Well, the weather is set to change tomorrow to windy and cloudy with showers. And we have planned to take our friend out for a ride and lunch in a garden centre. Not that we expected the good weather to last but a few more days would have been good.

Good evening girls.
Sylvia, I do hope they take that darned drain out tomorrow for you love.
You will then feel that you are on the road to improvement, without all the foreign bodies sticking out of your body, what with clips, drains and all the needles you have had, you must be getting fed up of it all. But thanking the lord, that is was discovered early.

Sallie, the new darts season for our local league starts on the 10th of October, but I am still playing on Thursday nights.
So tonight is a rest period for me, so I can do whatever I want tonight, and that does make a pleasant change I have to admit.

Hi Sallie. how's the card making coming along now?. I bet there is no holding you down now that you have started again.
Did you hit the craft shop whilst you were in town. lol

Well my friends, I am going to make Im Indoors a cuppa now, poor so and so's tongue is hanging out again. Anyone would think he didn't know how to put the kettle on.
Take care, love to you all. Mo xxx

Hi all
xxx


Yes, you do have to be careful of shingles.


It is caused by the same virus that causes chicken-pox ......... and it seems that you do not develop shingles unless you have previously had chicken-pox. But you can catch chicken-pox from a shingles patient.


The virus lingers (or becomes latent) in the body, seeming to hide in parts of the nervous system, often for many years. Then stress, exposure to chicken-pox or other "unknown" causes can cause it to come out of hiding in later life ....... and you get shingles.

Shingles usually follow the line of nerves ....... around the body under the breast is one favourite place apparently ......... and that is why it can be so very painful.

Direct contact with the active rash of shingles will spread the virus to someone who has no immunity to the disease ....... but they will develop chicken-pox, not shingles.

My m-i-l developed it about 2 months after they sold their chemist's shop and retired ........... she rarely complained (the stiff upper-lip type :-) ), but did say it was more painful that anything else that she'd had.




The nurse came this morning ....... but decided to leave the drain in for another day! :-( :-( She's pretty sure that it will come out tomorrow.

I've made an appointment with my haridresser to have my hair washed and dried this afternoon.



Sallie .... the little family is doing well, thank you. We probably won't see MJ until next July ....... he'll certainly have changed by then!!

Caz ...... I hope you are feeling better. I was so pleased to read of the cancer cell result. Way to go, girl!

Morning Ladies.

Just a quick look in to see how you all are. I know that Huia and Marie are away, but where is everyone else? Hope you are all okay.


Ann, I'm hoping that Alun will send the photos to you tonight, but don't hold your breath.lol!!! I was hoping that he would have sent them to Jude while you were away, but he never got round to it.


A great aunt of mine, caught shingles from one of her children and it left her stone deaf for the rest of her life, she died when she was 92. She always warned the women in the family if they were pregnant, to keep away from children with chicken pox and also warned older people to keep away from them too.


Mo, do you have a darts match tonight? If you have, I hope that you and your new team will win.


Well ladies, I'm going up to town now, so hope to speak to you all later on.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

To Sylvia and Caz. xxxx

Sally, yes that will be fine send the photos when you can. I hope the cold/virus improves soon.

Mo, you can catch chicken pox from shingles so your daughter should stay away from people who have not had it. I was told to stay away from pregnant women too.

Hi Girls,

Mo, as you say a lot of things we suffer with these days is mostly put down to a virus.lol!!

I'm feeling a lot better today, I've still got a bit of a headache but it's not as bad as it's been, thank goodness. Richard's girlfriend Christie, as also had the same symptoms as me for a couple of days, so I'm hoping she
has started to feel better too.


Sorry to to hear that your daughter has shingles, it's quite a nasty thing to have. My sister-in-law had it a few years back and was off work (she's a teacher) a couple of months. Anyway I hope your daughter's shingles doesn't last as long as Sylvia's did.


We went to PC World with Jennie and Michael this afternoon.......Jennie was looking for a new laptop, she wanted one that was quicker and could hold more info, so managed to get one that they could afford and what she needed. So we have one happy daughter now.lol!!!




Caz, hope you are feeling a lot better today and that you have managed to get a few nights good sleep. You know we are here for you when you need us.

I read on one ot the threads that Phil starts back to work tomorrow after suffering from pneumonia. Sending him my best wishes and hope it all goes well for him.




Sylvia, hope that everthing is going along as it should be for you and that you will soon be able to have a shower or a nice log soak in the bath.
Take care.



Ann, I have some photos of cards for your blog, so as soon as I can I'll get Alun to send them for me. If that's okay with you?



We haven't heard from Jean, Dutch, Betty and tess for a while, just hope that they are all alright.



Also hope that Huia and Marie are enjoying their holidays. Hope all went well with Marie's family reunion.



Well I'll say bye for now, speak to you all soon.



Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx
