Good evening everybody.

I would like to wish our Jean, all my very best wishes, and love and hugs for tomorrow, when she has her biopsy done.
I will be thinking of you my love, and praying for a good outcome for you.

Thank goodness all the work here has finished. A nice new extension roof, new guttering and fascia boards, wonderful.
Goodness me, it is so quiet now, after lots of banging and clattering, but it's all done now, and looks lovely.

Roly has got to have a knee replacement done in three months time, and his other knee has got to be injected, with what I don't know.
Bless him, his knees keep giving up on him, and a number of times he has nearly gone down.
He is not exactly a light weight, should I have to pick him up off the ground. I know I should have eaten more spinach when I was younger. LOL

I hope you are all keeping well. Take care, love to all, Mo xxx

Hello girls,
I am so shocked to read of the loss of Joyce. I went onto F.B and Jan and Joyces grandaughter, had posted about their loss on their loss.
I didn't know she had been unwell lately. She sent us such a lovely card for our Anniversary, and now she is gone, bless her.
Thank you Sallie for your p.m.
Rest in Peace Joyce, we will remember you with a smile on our faces, and love in our hearts.
My deepest condolences to Jan and Joyces family. x

Hi Jean, yes it was a shock hearing about Joyce, I feel quite sad about her. Wherever and whenever we met, she was always good company, lots to say and always gave us a good laugh.

How are you and J doing? I hope that you are both okay. Also hope that D is enjoying her stay in Florida.


Alun has to go for his Echocardiogram on Saturday morning, his appointment is at ten o clock. I shall be glad when it is done so that we will at least know what the problem is, if there is one.



Mo. how are things with you and Roly? Hope that you are both okay. Did the men come and see to your windows as they promised? Hope they did.



Well I am off to finish a couple of cards now, so will chat again tomorrow.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie, xxx

Thank you for letting us know Sallie it was a shock,

condolences to Jan and family...

Love and prayers Jean xx <3 <3

Just a quick message to let you know that I had a phone call earlier on, letting me know that Joyce died this morning. It was a shock, I know it is silly of me, but I almost thought that ' she. would go on forever'.

She went to the doctors last week as she couldn't breathe properly, but doctor told her she was okay.

Sending Jan my Condolences and Sympathy.

Rest in Peace, Joyce.

Mo, you certainly did well with pressies for Mothers Day. Did you and Roly go to play darts and to have lunch?



Jean thanks for asking, but, Alun still hasn't heard about when he has to go for the Echocardigram. GP did say that it would probably take four weeks for an appointment to come through.

We mostly use the Nottingham hospitals here, but he has to go to Derby for this..I can't understand why, because if he needs anything done, he can then go to one of the Nottingham hospitals.

Well will say goodnight now, Sleep well.


Love, Sallie. xxx

Hi everyone


Happy Mother's Day
xxx



It sounds as though you have all had a lovely day :-)



Our Mother's Day is the second Sunday in May ......... May 10 this year

Hello there girls,
I hope you have had a wonderful mothers day.
Three of our children came to see us yesterday, the youngest came today, and our son who is in Mexico on holiday sent me a txt, and gave me a card before he went.

Oooh I am such a lucky things, spoilt rotten with, chocolates, flowers,slippers,six yummy cup cakes, made by the lady thats supplies The Only Way is Essex actors, and was late delivering them to my daughter as she got caught in traffic coming back from Essex, and a wonderful Grandma's Biscuit barrel from Lilly and Ava, as the call me Nanny biscuit.
Lucky lucky me, I love them all, and thank the lord I was blessed with such loving caring children.

Well, enjoy the rest of your special day, and I will speak to you later. Hugs Mo xxx

Hello ladies.

Just a quick post, wondering if you are all okay. Sorry not posted for a few days, I have been busy card making, trying to get the cards finished for the March birthdays so that I can start on something else.


Jean, thank you for what you sent,once I get myself organised with the cards I need to do, I will have a go at making a card out of them. Have you made a card using them, yet?


Elizabeth, thank you for your good wishes for the weekend to us all. Hope that you and your family are all enjoying your weekend too.


Ann, I know that both you and T are due to go to Cornwall soon, but not sure when.

Over the years Alun have suffered several times with a trapped nerve in hand, not only did his hand go numb and with pins and needles, it was also painful at times, so I don't think it is that.



Huia,hope that you are okay and that you had a good weekend.



Mo, did your family come to see you today , for Mothers Day? Jennie and Michael are coming for Sunday lunch, as usual tomorrow, nothing else planned though. It is also the Ides of March and Richard's birthday tomorrow, he will be 33, Christie has made him a four layer cake, for it, wish we were down there to have a slice of it..



Sylvia, hope that you and OH are okay and that the weather is not too bad for you there.



Marie,how are things with you and your family?. I hope that you are all well.



Take care everyone and hope that you all have a lovely Mothers Day.



Love, Sallie. xxx

Dear ALL

Hello

Love from Elizabeth, EOS

Thanks Huia, I will google it , I had a thought it may be something like that, but will read it up..... how are things with you are you still helping out in the charity shop?

love Jean xx

Jean, many years ago I had that problem with the fingers going white in cold weather, I still do. The doc called it Reynauds phenomenon. Apparently that is why I proved allergic to one lot of eyedrops. Try googling Reynauds phenomena (or disease).

Oooh Jean, lucky D being over in the lovely warm weather in Florida. Mind you, it's be a lovely sunny day here, but that wind is still very chilly.
I managed to get all my washing dry outside again. Isn't it funny how small things,like getting the washing dried is such a pleasing feeling, it doesn't take much does it. LOL
I bet you are looking very glamorous now, with your hair nicely done.

Ann, I had a little chuckle when you said that girls were easier to manage than boys, I am sure that our Lilly should have been a boy, she loves to fight with the boys, and climbs better than a lot of the boys she plays with.
And as for her being good at parties, she is the first one to start a chasing game, and all the children join in, wether they are girls or boys.
When I look at photographs of her dressed in her bridesmaids dress, she looks like a little angel. But within a short space of time after the photo being taken, she is covered in whatever will stick to her, she seems to attract dust and dirt. LOL

We went to visit Florence today, and bless her, she has got a stinking cold. How on earth can she catch a cold when she never leaves the house.
Her son must have bought the germs back with him, after doing the shopping, and yet he doesn't have a cold...strange.

So it's Mothers day this sunday, have any of you got anything special planned.
I daresay my family will be coming over on Saturday, as they are all mums themselves, or dads with children, they will want to celebrate at home on Sunday, and I don't blame them.

Bye for now my friends, take care. Hugs Mo xxx

Jean, thank you for the packet that arrived today while we were out. shall wait until after we come back from Cornwall to use the things in it.

Morning ladies, bit of a damp morning so far, S came round yesterday and spent all afternoon with J or better known as Gramps, there is a lovely bond between them, J is more like S dad, they both watch the racing and that gave me a great excuse to take to my crafting, I made several special cards, and Ann I have left a great tip on the cardmaking thread ;-) ;-) ;-)

D is now in the hot sunshine in Florida, :-| :-| two weeks away which gives us a break too :-D :-D :-D

Hair permed this afternoon,so then i can show my face outside ;-) ;-)
I must have the worst hair ever :-| :-| very thin and wispy... cant manage it myself ..

hope your hand gets easier Mo and Sallie I get cramp in my fingers when i do a lot of crafting so have a few minutes break, J was worried when his fingers went white
as though the blood wasnt getting through, He put them in warm water and slowly the feeling came back. cant explain why, .

see you all later, breakfast calls :-D :-D

Love to you all Jean xxx <3

Yes, childrens parties at home were the norm when ours were young. Can't say I particularly enjoyed them but i wouldn't have not had them for the world, they always loved them. Some of Grandson's parties were held at home in the late 80s early 90s but then they started going to adventure places that hosted the parties and that saved the home from being wrecked by little boys. However, it was really noisy as there were always more than one party going on at once. I do remember that the 9th party was the last my son had, they were so hard to control at that age, not like little gorls.

Sallie do you think you have trapped a nerve? Could it be something like Tenosinivitis (sp) which is like typists used to get.

Gosh Mo, Lily is five, time certainly flies. Your poor friend, It must be awful for her and no way to build her confidence up. I hope there is a solution soon.

Sallie, I very often wish I was abidextrous (sp) then I wouldn't suffer with so much pain. I know how frustrating it is for you, when you want to get on with your card making, and the fingers wont let you.
We have three grandchildren who are mainly left handed, but can use their right hand when needed.
Florences operation was over a year ago now, but unfortunately, her age is against the healing process, or so they tell her.
She had a growth in her hairline, and that was removed and sent away for biopsy, but thank the lord the result were benign.

Anyone fancy beef casserole, roast potao's, peas, carrotts and sprouts for dinner, you are most welcome to come and share it with us.
It will be ready at five p.m, so come and join us, or I can send it down the cyber hatch for you, but it may be a bit messy by the time it arrives.

Hugs to all, Mo xxx

Mo, I have been thinking about Florence and meaning to ask about her for a while.What a shame the wound hasn't fully healed yet, so that she can have the screws fitted. No wonder she is depressed and has no self esteem. How long is it since she had her operation? It must be a fair while now.

Trouble is, she needs to try and go out and about, so that it will help her depression and help build her confidence, so she can start to move forward again, but as you know Mo,it is a lot easier said than done when suffering from depression and anxiety. I suspect that she is also suffering from anxiety too.

I really feel for her, it is difficult enough to start to move forward, without the awful problem she has. Please give her my very best wishes and that I am thinking about her. Hope that the wound will soon heal, so that she can start the road back to living life as she use to.

Thanks for letting me know how she is getting on.


I have been making cards again today, still have quite a few to make. Since yesterday morning I have a problem with my right hand, the middle finger to my little finger has gone numb, although it isn't as bad as it was yesterday. Trouble is, it slows up my card making and some other jobs I want to do.


Gosh, I can't get over that Lilly will also be five this year, I didn't realise that Sylvia's grandson and Lilly were born the same year. Where on earth is the time going?.

Like you Mo, I always did the R and J'' birthday parties at home, I loved doing them. I was lucky that a few of my friends would help me to clear it away afterwards.


Hello to, Jean, Ann, Sylvia, Huia and Marie,hope that you are all okay.



Well, I will speak to you all tomorrow.


Sleep tight.


Love, Sallie. xxx


Sending love to Florence.xxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
