Hello girls, if you are looking in I just want to let you all know that things are not very good for Mo at the moment. I got a pm off her this evening telling me that her eldest daughter is still very poorly and that she is still waiting results of some tests to come back, which can take up to three weeks.
As you all can imagine Mo is very worried and distraught about her daughter and hasn't felt like coming on GR at all, she sends her love to you all and she hopes that you are all okay.

She herself has to go for another scan as she is still suffering with bowel pains, the doctor has told her that she has lesions in the bowel and they think that iis causing the pain.

Just hope that things will soon be sorted for both Mo and her daughter.


Mo, sending you love and hugs and loads of positive thoughts. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello everyone, thought I'd say a quick hello to you all, as no one has been on here for five days. I hope that you are all okay.


Mo. I hope all your family and health problems are starting to improve, and that things are looking at least a bit better for you all. I miss seeing your posts on here and hope it won't be too long before we see you post again.


Ann, hope that you and T are still enjoying your holiday.


Huia, it looks as though you are very busy with politics....hope that it is all going well for you.


Jean, hope that you are okay and that your vertigo is a lot better than it has been.



Sylvia, hope all is well with both you and OH. Pleased that you managed to book the train to Halifax ready for your journey to see your daughter and her family at Christmas.



Marie, hope that everything and everyone is okay with you.




Well will chat to you all again soon.




Take care.




Love and best wishes.

Hello girls, I am still in the land of the living but kept busy with politics at present.

A belated happy anniversary to those who have had them recently.

Hi girls,

Just want to say thank you all for your good wishes for our anniversary.... also thanks Ann, Jean and Mo for your cards.

Ann, glad that you and T had a lovely day and a nice meal out with TS to celebrate your anniversary.


Thinking about you all.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Thank you for the good wishes everyone,

Sallie happy anniversary to you and Alun, hope you have a lovely day and that you got my card. <3

Hi Mo, and everyone


Happy belated 54th Anniversary, Ann and Mr A
xxx


Happy 47th Anniversary, Sallie and Mr S
xxxx




Mo ........ I hope things on the family front are easing a little bit now
xxxx




Jean ............ I'm sorry to hear the vertigo is back. Do take care xxx




Marie ............... lovely to hear from you xx


Huia ........... where are you?






it is another hot day here ............... it was almost 27C in the shade in my back garden yesterday (Tuesday), and today it has hit 27.5C


That means inside the house is over 32C


it is supposed to cool down tomorrow, and then we have rain or showers at the weekend ................. Monday is Labour Day, a stat holiday :-)


Everybody who is not already back at school will be back on Tuesday, September 2nd.


I spent time today booking our train trip to Halifax at Christmas ................ each of us had enough points to do the trip there for free :-)

The train company doesn't even charge anything for taxes or insurance.


Now, I'm hoping that there might be a "something-off" deal pop up in the next couple of weeks, so I can book the train trip home :-)

I can't wait too long, as the trains get full very quickly around Christmas, and it is not always certain that they will add extra carriages.

We have to stay one night in Montreal each way, as the trains don't quite connect ...................... and Montreal is much nicer than Toronto :-)





OH had our car in to have the dents banged out, and painted. They said it would be 4 days, but it was ready by lunchtime today (Wednesday) :-)



take care everyone

Ann and T Happy 54th Wedding Anniversary for today. Hope that you are both having a lovely day.
I didn't realise you were going away, otherwise I would have sent your card sooner so that you could have taken it with you, so sorry that you won't get it until you get home now.


Jean, sorry that you are suffering from vertigo again, hope that it will soon get a lot better.

Thank you for our happy anniversary wishes for tomorrow. We are not doing anything special.......I have a doctors appointment at ten to nine ( the usual thing ) to start the day and then Alun has to go to the model railway club to help with some stuff that they are having delivered, and then it is the club tomorrow night. So we might decide on going somewhere on Friday instead.



Mo, how is your daughter? I hope that she is starting to feel better and that whatever the family problems are, can and will soon be resolved



Hello to everyone else, hope that you are all okay.




Love and best wishes.




Sallie.xxx

Happy anniversary to you both, hope the sun shines...... :-D :-D :-D :-D

dreaded vertigo has come back with avengenses, so not on here much at the moment, hope Mo is ok.

Happy anniversary tomorrow to Sallie and Alun... have special day...

Love Jean and Jeff xx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Goodness where are you. I leave you alone for a few days and you fall off the board. 6 days without a post. Our 54th anniversary today. Jean thank you for your card I brought it with me to open. :-D <3

Mo


so sorry to hear that you have family problems.


Hope that things will work out


xxxxx

Thanks Ann, I shall look out for it also the metal nozzles to go with it.


Jean by what you say, it sounds the ideal thing for the fine die cuts, thanks to you too.



Goodnight everyone.



Love, Sallie. xxx

Ah, maybe I should have got the metal tips as well, did see them but wasn't sure what they were for.

Mo, sorry to hear about your daughters problem, not a lot you can do except pray as I will do with you... but good to hear you are o.k.always here for you both...

I use the glue Ann with the metal tips so easy to add smalll dots on the more delicate die cuts....I managed to get some stuff in boxes and tote bag, but was very tired so have left the drawers with stuff in them hoping the men will cover the chests and just move them to one side, they said they would move the heavy stuff or cover them so fingers x thats what will happen....and hope its fine weather too... ;-) ;-) ;-)I have been very good and havent bought much in the craft stuff. yet. ;-) ;-)

I am going to have an early night so take care everyone.

Love Jean xx

I haven't used it yet, it is a small container with a fine nozzle for attaching delicate dies, only £2 so not expensive.

Yes Ann, we are lucky to have such a good craft shop, there are others around Derby and Nottingham, but none of them as good as Mary's......and she is always very helpful too.

Is the tattered lace glue good and what do you mainly use it for? I don't think I have seen it about, I'll have to see if Mary sells it.


Well I'm going to make a cup of tea now, so will chat again.



Love, Sallie. xxx

Sorry to hear about your daughter's health problems Mo I hope there is a solution to it soon, very worrying for the family. But glad that you are ok.

Jean I bought a scrap book, some 12x12 paper, a tattered lace die of 2 owls, several sheets of Christmas toppers a christmas paper pad, christmas ribbon some tattered lace glue. I think that was all.

Sallie you are lucky to have a good local craft shop, we have a small one but it doesn't stock much.

Nice to hear from you Mo, but sorry to hear that you have big problems in the family especially concerning your eldest daughter's health. Whatever the health problem is I hope that the doctors can soon find out what it is and it can soon be treated.

Also hope that the circumstances between you both will only improve.

Thinking about you , Roly and the family, and sending you lots of love and very best wishes.



Love, Sallie .xxx. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello girls, just to let you know that I am still in the land of the living.
I can't say too much, but we have big problems in the family at the moment, concerning our eldest daughters health.
Still nothing settled between us, and it's so hard to take, especially under the circumstances at the moment.

I hope you are all well, take care of yourselves please.
Love and hugs one and all, Mo

Sorry Ann and Jean, it must have been one of my more senile moments that I have these days LOL!! Yes it is the 28th, a week tomorrow.


Ann are you thinking about buying an electronic die cutting machine then? I was thinking that I would use both machines together, but the table that I bought to put them on is okay for storing them but isn't quite big enough to be able to use them side by side at the same time...if you know what I mean.


Our car goes into the garage tomorrow monring to have yet another job done on it
so we will probably go to Derby on the bus, I need to go to Mary's craft shop in one of the market halls, she has had a lot of new things in lately, especially dies, so thought I would go and take a look at them. For such a small place she really has a good choice of dies of most if not all makes. Her prices are also reasonable, sometimes things work out cheaper than buying online, if you take postage in to account.
,


Jean, when I have finished on here I am going upstairs to sort out all my craft stuff, I have been going to do it for weeks, but haven't......instead, I keep on buying new stuff, trouble is, it is a temptation to resist some of the new things. :-D :-D
You and Ann know what it's like .LOL. :-D :-D

Good to know that you all had a lovely time with C last Sunday, it's lovely to have him with you for a few hours.



Huia, pleased that all went well at the Memorial for Phil yesterday. It must have made you feel so proud to hear people speak so well and highly of him.




Marie, lovely to hear from you and to know that all is well with you and your family.

Congratulations on becoming a great grandmother for the first time. Baby Jenson was a very good weight, wasn't he?



Mo and Sylvia, hello to you both, hope that you and your families ar all okay.





Well must go and get started on the craft room, so will speak to you all later.




Take care everyone.




Love, Sallie. xxx <3 <3

oow what did you get Ann?
