General Chat

The sun is out! So I am feeling more cheerful. Will be popping out later to do a couple of errands. Including filling out an application form to Join the local allotment club.

Dutch, I hope that the morphine tablets work for you and that the cramp only paid a short visit.

I nned to sort out my next batch of washing so that I can take advantage of the dry weather. This includes washing the bed linen. So hoping to have a good nights sleep in a nice fresh bed tonight.
Yes, I know that it is early to be talking about sleep but I've had a few bad nights ... at the same time as having difficulty getting on the chat boards.!

Hi all
xxx


Thank you for the update, Jean xxxxx


well, a very busy 3 days are over!

One of our friends N got an Honorary degree at the university on Monday


our friends from the Island came over for it ................ R was N's supervisor for her PhD. So we had them for dinner on Sunday evening

Monday was the ceremony, a university luncheon, and then our Island friends and ourselves combined to take N, her husband, daughter and son-i-l out for a celebratory dinner.

Tuesday was a bit of a rest day, until we went to the university President's Reception for the Honorary degree recipients ...... just 2 of them last night, N and a guy who got his at Tuesday's grad.



Slob day for me today! I'm knackered!! The reception was all standing. I ached from my waist down to my fett by the time we got home last night!



Tomorrow, I go for my annual mammogram. It was supposed to be last Thursday, but someone called in sick so they had to reassign me.

Liz thank you for your card , it was very nice of you to send it.....

Hellooooo girls.
Marie,how long will Victoria have to wait for her results of her scan and x-rays. It's a real pain in the backside when they drag their heels, in sending results through.
My grandaughter went back to her doctor today, after doing her fluid intake, and outlet test. The doctor has said she thinks she has a an overactive bladder. She has to do pelvic floor excerices for a month,and see how she gets on. If nothing changes she has got to go back, and they will put her on tablets. Bless her at nearly 19, it's quite embarrasing for her.

It's been a glorious day here today. I have washed all the net curtains, and cleaned the windows inside the house. Oooh it's lovely to see the sun shining on the windows, and not see any smears and marks.

Still no news about Jeff today I see. Lets just hope and pray that he is making good progress. It's been a long time coming hasn't it, and poor Jean must be absolutely exhausted.

Well my friends, I will say tat ta for now. Love to you all. Mo xxx

Good afternoon ladies,

Just looking in to see if there was any news of Jeff. Sending prayers and postive thoughts for Jeff, Jean, D and S.

We are off to do the weekly shop now, so will speak to you all later.

Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello to you all,
I am still having trouble with the Genes Site It let's me in to the home page but then it takes for ever to get on to the posts like general chat which I have to go to ,so that my threads page comes up.I waste such a long time trying to get into the right page :-(
Sorry to see Geoff has had a set back, hopefully they will be able to do something for him Healing thought's for Jeff, and <-3Jean ,D&S <-3

It is wet and overcast and the the wind is freezing I wont be poking my head out to-morrow if it is like to-day.

I am now receiving replies to the invitations for the Hayward Reunion, so far they are all YES we will be there, which is nice.
Did you play dart's this week Mo?
Victoria also had a scan on her bladder plus the x-rays they don't have any results yet.
My singing for Pleasure group is going very well, they tell me they are enjoying their time with me. ,
I am very pleased with them, only one person has sung before, they are doing well, I haven't given them easy song's to sing, but they are learning quickly.\ :-)

It is time for the ABC New's & weather forecast also Dinner so must close
Love <-3 ;-) Hugs

Marie :-D

I have now started a blog of pictures of New Zealand, views and birds and native plants etc. If anybody wants to see them let me know. So far I have put only 2 pics on as it takes 10 mins or more to add each one, but it is something I can do when all the GR members have gone to bed!

Huia.

The emoticons seem to be slowing down the boards. It will take me all day to read some of the threads as I have to wait ages for each page to load.

Huia.

:-) :-D :-0 :-( :-P :-\ ;-) <-3 :-S

Just testing.

I didnt put that :-) there as far as I know. :-S

Huia.

I have emoticons now, which I didnt before, but I understand that there are a couple which are 'broken', the heart is one and I think the other is the wink. No, it is probably 'bored'. :-\

Let us see if it worked.

Huia.

oops Mo, an expensive shopping trip. Good job it was R and not you that parked!! Yes I wish they would get the emoticons sorted, just as we've got used to them they stop working :-D Or is it only the heart?

Hi Mo,

It's great to see you back on here, you had me worried, thinking all things. You know what I'm like?

That was and expensive shopping trip that you went on today.....I'm not surprised that poor Roly is as sick as a parrot.lol!! Bless him!


Well I finally got the got the ironing done, yipeeeee!

Joyce rang me early this afternoon, she has an appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning so that she can find out if she has kidney problems, as the doctor at the airport think she might have. So let's hope that there won't be.


Thinking of Jean, Jeff and family. Sending you all love and positive thoughts.

Good evening girls. It's little ol me, did ya miss me, NO, what do you mean No.

I received a p.m from Jean earlier, telling me of Jeff's setback. I can't belive how much poor Jeff, and also Jean, D+S are going through at the moment.
So come on girls, lets hold their hands,and keep them strong.

You will never believe what happened to us today. We went shopping in a local town, and found ourselves a nice parking spot,in a disabled bay where we had never been before.
Off we go, get our shopping, and venture back to the car, only to find we had got a parking ticket.
What said Roly, how can we get a ticket in a disabled parking space.
On reading the ticket, he discovered he had parked where people with trolleys were allowed to cross.
Stupid fool, had misread the markings on the road, and had parked on the walk way hatchings.
This is the first time ever, in the whole of his life that Roly has ever got a parking ticket.
Talk about his feeling as sick as a parrot, and a right idiot to boot, he is now kicking himself.
A £50.00 fine, or if he pays immediately it goes down to £25.00. It's ready to go in the post tomorrow, we are not waiting the 14 days they say you can have to pay it.
That was a very expensive shopping trip, I think I will go on my own next time, and spend the extra £25.00 on myself. LOL

Oooh I have just noticed the emoticons are not working again, oh blow it, will they ever get this site right again.

Well girls, I will say bye for now, take care one and all. Love Mo xxx

thank you Sallie, hope the doctors can solve this one for him.

<-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 <-3 to Jean and Jeff, thinking of you both.

Hello Everyone,

I've just read an update from Jean. Jeff has had a setback, he has fluid on his lungs, he has a stent in to drain the fluid, and the doctors are also going to try something else. Sending prayers and positive thoughts to Jean, Jeff and the family.

Speak to you all soon. Sallie.xxx

Sallie, many thanks for letting me know, and for the compliment!!

Ann could i have the address please of your photo blog
thank you Dutchxx

Hi Ann, I've only just looked at your photo blog (instead of doing the ironing) and had no trouble getting on to it.

You certainly are a very good photographer, all your photos look as though they have been taken by a professional. They are all beautiful.
Well done.

Love, Sallie.xxx
