Hi all
xx

Moonbi .... We're all finding that about the New Posts and No New Posts icons, and many complaints ahve been made!



I do hope you don't get the cold!



Persie ........... that photo is my mother and her mother, about 1930, Scarborough, on the Yorkshire coast.

My mother was a very fashionable lady, right up to the day she died in 1961!



take care everyone

Ah well Moonbi, my Ist daughter is in agreement with your 2nd son as is my OH. I still think that it was a good theory though :-)

The sun has just come out here (London) so I think I'd better go and hang the washing out =I

well ruby about what I think may be a coincidence

my 2nd son doesn't think that at all. he thinks the US doesnt give a stuff about anything British.

and so I had to think again. maybe he is right. all young men are right.
dont you think
its during middle age, folk cant ever be right.

oldies always know best, and so do the young ones!

very cold overcast and horrible looking here today, fire blazing.
guess what Sylvia and Marie I had g'son home from school yesterday with a headcold and cough. touch wood I dont get it.

ps I like the new gr look though some of my links are very slow to change. and the new posts icon doesnt seem to change after I read things. not like it used to anyway.
the only way I can tell if anyone else has added is to see if my name is not the one last posted.

I just love these :-) :D :O :-(


Going back to what you posted on the 2nd Moonbi, I thought that was rather fortunate to say the least.

I wonder what the British Press would have done if both things had happened on the same day :O

The board is certainly moving faster isn't it since they amalgamated the two.

Sylvia and Marie, poor both of you, your colds are dragging on. I hope you both feel better soon. Enjoy your 'me' time Sylvia. :-) :-) :-) :-)

Re your comment Sylvia

"I think setting up the Quizzes and Games board was a REALLY good move!"

Check Mate, game set and match to GR for finally doing it. I know it would be well over a year since I put in a request for it to be separate and I am sure others have done so as well.

When & where was your profile pic taken Sylvia?

Going back to the original question again......I think since GR changed its site,...that some of the heart has come back.....mind you I haven't been around for a while lol There seems to be a lot more chat (and dare I say it less games interrupting the chat lol)

Sylvia and Marie,
hope you both feel better soon.
Trying to do some research but getting sidetracked by the new look GR.

just a wee bit jealous!!



but I'm also really looking forward to being on my own

........ and to be honest, not talking! My voice went on Saturday, and is still "uncertain". I'm never quite sure how it will come out!


I really wouldn't wish this one on my worse enemy!

Hi Marie

I think I'm on the upswing finally!

chest still congested, so I cna't sleep flat ...... but it may be easier to get comfortable without OH in the bed!


I had the longest spell of sleep last night that I've had since last Tuesday ......... almost 4 hours!



Have you tried putting your ehad over a bowl of boiling water and inhaling the steam. Even add somthing like Vicks Vaporub (or ??? eucalyptus oil) to the water.


That's helped me.


Do hope you are OK for the tutoring tomorrow!



I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get a lovely day on Sunday.

Sylvia sorry to hear you are still unwell.
I can understand you not going away with oh.
when youre not well you probably wouldnt enjoy the visit and just wish to be home.
better not to spread germs to your very close friends either.
can you visit again when you are well?

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 5 May 2011 00:59

that sounds like very good news!

Do hope things work out for your daughter.


I've got 2+ day "me" time ............. OH has had to go to a meeting. I was going to go with him, but this horrible codl and cough made me very unwilling to go away. Unofrtunately, that means I miss seeing oru very close friends :((


but I'm still not much good for anyone!
