General Chat

I think we should have a roll call :))
Some names I have'nt seen for ages, Lily and Eileen to name two.
Others who pop on and post a couple of times, do you still look in, say hi if you do.
I don't post as much as I have in the past but still think about you all often.

Hi to everyone. Have been keeping up with posts. Have not been posting here lately as have had a rotten time and tend to hide, when things are not so good.

What is spelling? I make so many mistakes, glad there is a spell check on PC.

David, your trip with you brother sounds great, bet he really enjoyed it and spending time with you.

Sharron, know how you feel, it is a shock when it happens, you have had loads to contend with lately and probably no ME time at all to take it all in.

Whitenancy, GP pronto, before it gets any worse. Does sound like a phobia, and not a diet thing.

Clarejo, sounds like a great break away and recharging the batteries. Glad you had a great relaxing time.

Deanna, hi to you and hope you are feeling better.

Y/Caz, know you will look in, so many gentle hugs to you.

Big hi to Ann in glos

Hope Carole has a great time in Florida.

I have only replied to this page, as memory is not great on the heavy meds, so if I have missed anybody, it is not because I do not care.

Love and hugs to all

Gail

PS: I am trying to hatch a chicken in the oven at the moment, mum got off the nest with 4 chickens and left 2 eggs, one was rotten, the other has a chick partly hatched. No I will not cook it, just keep warming the oven then turning it off. Poor little thing, hope it makes it okay.

Chicken hatched after 6 hours in oven and is now back with mum.

Gail

Hello all, just checking in Claire,lol. You are right Gail when you say I look in and read the posts, it is easy to read stood up. The problem is sitting to type, back is still bad and I've had enough when I've done the little bit I have put on for Dutch.
Gail I am so pleased for the little chick, but you know me and hens don't you. Thanks for the hugs by the way, glad they were gentle ones.

Hope everyone is as good as they can be, I think about you all even though I don't post.

Love and hugs to all.

Thank you Deanna and all the others

Don't know if you recall but I had a very bad dose of flu during April. During that month and a few weeks later I had had two heavy falls (both accidents) to to ground landing on my right. One fall was in the bathroom, the other was beside my desk here.

The falls didn't hurt at the time, just knocked the wind out of me. Now my right shoulder aches all the time, even turning over in bed is an effort sometimes. I have mobility in the joint and I can pick things up so I haven't broken any thing

What would cause this aggravation now ? I already have a gammy knee.

Lol @ Caz ~~~~~~ to you, Gail and David. You are all marked in on the register :)))

Hi everybody

Remember me ????

I have not been on for months ( long storey ) but I do look in from time to time .

Sorry to hear that some of you are not too well .

Thought I would give you a laugh .

The dreaded form from works and pensions has arrived again to see if I am fit to work .Th e one that asks a hundred questions .I have to return it by the end of the month then I might be called for a medical .

Joke is I turn 60 in april so what are my chances of getting a job now for a few months ??

The government must be hell bent on getting people off benifits .


Take care all

Lol Claire!!!! seems like they are scared of you so have checked in!!!!!

David, maybe it is inflammation, have you tried ibroprufen gell? A chiropracter or an osteopath could advise you.

Caz, just spoke to you on the other thread, maybe when you have read you could just press the reply button and type Hi so we know you are still around and OKish!!

Gail Hi to you, hope the chook didn't get a sense of what happens to his kin when he/she was in the oven, good to see you posting!!

Love to everyone else.

Ann xx

David, it could be bruising just coming to the surface... very painful but it will go....... I hope! ha ha ha

I am okay just now Gail.... we are having new kitchens put in in our street..... the joy is killing me!!! ha ha ha
It will take about 3 weeks and I am trying to get organised.
It is not that I don't like work... I do, I could watch people working all day.
Having to do it myself, at my speed.... which is practically 'standing still' and all the rests I need in between. I'm doing okay though and it will be done.
Right folks, coffee break over, back to work.
Love to all
Deanna XXXXX

Never thought of that. There's no external bruising though

David, you need to have it checked out by doctor, it has been a long time to be still sore. Could be internal bruising, or something that needs help to settle down.

Y/Caz, I am going to try and get some photos of the chickens, and email them to you. I just have to get them to stand still long enough. The little one that hatched in the oven is doing really well, such a hard start to life and she is just beautiful.

Ann in glos, I do not eat my chickens, OH eats the eggs, as does most of the neighbourhood. I used to when much younger, as that is what we ate, what we grew and they were not pets. All of mine are pets.

Okay, have checked in again today.

love and hugs

Gail

Gail I know you don't eat your chickens, that is why I said her kin, meaning distant relatives. In the war we used to raise and eat chickens and never thought anything of it, it was one way to get food.

Ann x

Yey, good to see you Gail :))
Hiya Kathy, I don't think we have ever spoken before but I do recognise your name, lovely to see you.
Anyone else missing ?
Claire
~~~~~ to Ann, David and Whitenancy

Sorry Kathy, I didn't see you there, good to see you on here again. What a performance re the form, what a waste of your time.

~~~~~~~ Claire

Ann

It's good to see you on here again Kathy, hope you are keeping well.
Gail I would love to see the chickens, I'll look forward to them coming.

Caz xx

Welcome back all those who have been unwell and hello all those who I have spoken to regularly.
I find it hard to keep in contact daily, it is quite hard work for me. Sorry to you all.

David, how is it today?

Kathy, don't worry about it too much.
Carole, you are a marvel love. Imagine coming on to speak to us and having to STAND... bless you.

My tea is ready folks so I have to go.
Look after yourselves.
Good night and bless you all.
Deanna XXXXX

Well Deanna its aching, shoulder, coller and right side of my neck.

Turned me into a grumpy old git

Deanna I think you are fab and I don't give two hoots whether or not you remember me by name. I am just pleased to see you posting. I joined GR last year not long after you were taken poorly and saw just how much everyone loves you on here.
Hi to Caz, I forgot to say hello before but hav'nt had a chance to pop back on here till now.
How are you Sharron you sounded like you were having a rough day the other day?
Still no sign of Eileen and Lily, where are you both, are you ok? and Colin?
Claire x

Just a quick hello to all, and hope by now some of the cards I sent out are arriving, wasn't sure if I was putting them in the right boxes lol

Still trying to readjust to boring routine here after a lazy time in Corfu, hate coming back to dull autumn weather and knowing that short days and wintry weather loom, it's getting me down already.

Will try and start the belated holiday diary this evening or next one,

love to all
Lizxxxxxxx

Great to see you back Liz, have been reading you thread, keep it up as very interesting.

I am so excited as I have just found my 3rd great grandfathers Christening record (1804) in the new London Indexes. It also had his date of birth do a bonus as well. Hopefully I can now find his parents marriage in 1802, hope I am that lucky.

I am having fun again tracing family, at the moment so helpful for my frame of mind. Plus having new chickens keeps me busy and loads of fun.
