Dear Ladies

Hello

Hope you are all okay.

A big HELLLOOOOOOO to you to, dear Mo in Kent.

Well, what have you got planned for the weekend?

That's assuming we don't have to get in rowboats because of the downpours!

Speak later.

Take care all
Very best wishes
xx

Hi everyone, we've got beautiful sunshine today, makes a change from yesterday, doesn't even look like the same month.

Hope Jean's OK after today's treatment, you can have 2 days off now Jean before you start again. Good news about your scan, at least it isn't getting any worse, that's a good start. You just have to get this new lot knocked on the head now.

Linda that wool sounds nice, I remember knitting with a mixture of powder blue, white and baby pink. The peachy one sound lovely though.

Marilyn you haven't got time to help all these people, just pass them on to Shelly, add it to her list......lol

Liz I'm glad to see your OH passed his exam, he might be in a better mood now. You never know - he might take you out for a meal to celebrate. But don't wear your posh frock, you might spill your dinner on it.

Linda, I bet you can't wait to see the photos, bet you'll want to order loads of them.

I said 'bet' twice in one sentence there, makes me sound like a bookie.

Shelly I hate to tell you this ........but your lot might never move out, they get well looked after at home so they won't be in a hurry to go.

Hope your sister has a nice relaxing holiday with you Marilyn, it'll be nice for her to have company.

Mo, where have you gone, have you rushed out to get some more wool? You've got plenty of time, she's got a long way to go yet.

Cor Shelly, I don't want you wiping my bum thanks,mind you , you wouldn't want to go near it anyway. pmsl

Marilyn what have you done,put a tree for rent on your family tree or something. All these requests that you are asked for, thats what you get for being so popular. lol

Linda that wool sounds really nice,I will try and get to the wool shop tommorrow,to have a look. I quite fancy a peachy colour mixture,at least that way it would suit either sex.
It will be nice for you to see the official wedding album. We bought quite a few when our lot got married, mind you it cost us a fortune.

Just had a thought Shelly. If you have got five bedrooms, when the kids all leave home,we can come to you for a holiday. I don't mind sharing a room
with someone, just as long as I can use the bog on my own, i'm not that proud. lol
Chuck the old man out for a week,and we can have a good laugh between the lot of us.

It would be a good idea to let your son see your outfit Liz. He wont be as negative as Im Indoors.
As you say,any colour accessories will go with your outfit. But as we will soon be coming into our autumn,black would be more useful. But then a nice pair of white shoes, could be saved for your holiday.

Has Pauline posted today, I cant remember. I will have to have a read back over the pages in a minute.

Heres hoping that Jean got on o.k today. If you are looking in Jean ~~~~~~
and HUGS.

A big HELLOOOO to Elizabeth as well.

Morning everyone
Glad hubby passed his exams Liz. Maybe you can get back to your normality now.
Good wishes for you again Jean, hope it is similar to yesterday.

Hubby off for the weekend and it's raining quite heavily now he said. More visiting this weekend. With our youngest so we can see her wedding pictures and some of the honeymoon too. Nothing else planned yet.

Have a good day everyone

Hi all,

I am sorry, I did say I would get pics done when I had the two outfits to choose from but then decided the BM one wasn't right so stayed with the dress from bhs. If I get a chance I will try it again and get a pic but won't have any accessories with it as still to buy shoes and a bag, probably white or smart black sandals with a heel or wedge, means I will be taller than o.h. but who cares, everyone is except his stepmum lol When I first met him I put all my high heels away and bought flatties but fed up with them now so wear what I want. I need some strappy sandals but not too high and not too fancy and some I can wear again and again. Then I will choose a bag to go with them, was thinking just white till I noticed a little black in the pattern with the different shades of purple, and mauve, almost a grey in places and lots of white background so black won't look too heavy. Could even pop it back on Sunday but would then be stuck if I can't find anything else so I think I will stick with it, will ask my son when he comes round on Sunday what he thinks. No point asking o.h, he has no idea about colour or fashion, his son said thank goodness Liz chooses your outfits lol, he has often told his dad to change in the past when he has worn something son doesn't like lol

It's been a difficult week with him on this course, and me staying out of bed till he gets up at 6.30am so I didn't disturb his sleep, but thank heavens, he passed the exam and is ok now - will still have a job so can maybe keep me in the manner to which I would like to become accustomed if he would cough up more often lol

Very tired so will love you and leave you, glad the treatment wasn't too awful Jean, did you do what I suggested and imagine us all standing behind you
Hope everyone and families will be ok - sorry I can't go through you all individually, brain is mush these days

love and hugs
Lizxxx

Mo the wool I am using is pastel shades of peach, blue, aqua lemon and white. It was from our local shop and makes stripes of colour so you can use a plain pattern. Actually when I used a pattern once it was a waste of time and effort as it dissapeared. It is a gradually changing wool so the blocks of colour are random.
Sleep well everyone

Off to bed now

Hello Jean, Roly is fine after his hospital visit,so much so that he has gone to darts tonight. As long as he does not drink for 48 hours he will be fine.
Good luck for tommorrow,and then a nice restful weekend. I will speak to you tommorrow. Night Night god bless.

Ooops missed your post Linda, sorry about that. What colour wool are you using this time. I would like to use a fleck wool, but
it may be to much for a new born baby though.Unless I can get pale coloured fleck, I think I will check in our local wool shop.

Hi Mo, thank you, I have radiotherapy every day Mon - Fri, then 2 days off at the weekend.

Hope your OH is ok after his hospital visit.

Take care.

Ah bless you Jean,keep your chin up. When do you have your next dose of radiotherapy,is it a daily thing,or weekly. I am sorry I am showing my ignorance here.
Have a good nights sleep,and wake up refreshed.

SIX new housemates Marilyn,how the heck are they going to sleep them all. I know they have got double beds, but perhaps they will chuck Steve out into the backgarden so they can all get a good nights sleep. I certainly could not sleep with the noises he makes in his sleep.LOL

Hello ladies, hope you are all ok and have had a nice day.

well have had my first radiotherapy, and wasn't as bad as I expected,
a bit painful, but I can put up with that. and have morphine to take when needed.

the scan for the cancer in my back shows that it is inactive at the moment, which is a big relief. have another scan in 4 weeks. I dont have radiotherapy on my back, have an injection right into the cancer, wont clear it but should, if I'm lucky, prevent it from growing or spreading to other parts of my body.

Well I'm off to bed now, feel as though I have been up for a week.

Thank you once again for all your kind thoughts.
Take care.
Jean xx

Hello girls.
Well I don't know what Rita has been up to,but she has been very quiet since she went away. I bet her and her sister have been having a lovely time,paddling in the water,or building sand castles on the beach.
Maybe she has got friendly with one of the lifeguards on the beach. Cor I hope she brings one or two back for us to share.
Mind you,I would need a book or lessons on how to do mouth to mouth resusitation(sp), a peck on the cheek is about all I get these days.

Did you enjoy your go on the swings Marilyn. I like the see saw best, especially when I jump off, and my grandson bumps to the ground,I don't know who laughs most, him or me.
I don't like it on the round about though, little J is a devil, he enjoys my getting giddy,and rolls on the grass with laughter.
I am a big kid at heart.LOL!!!!

Shelly I think Rita said they were going to Bournemouth,for their holiday. So I don't think her sister would have taken her lappy with her.
I know what you mean about all the hospital appointments,we are a poorly lot arn't we. If it's not that one or the others of us,are at the doctors.
You just wait,you are a spring chicken at the moment,but sooner or later,old age just creeps up on you. Don't forget, you are the baby of our little family.

Pauline, I know it's not a very nice thought having to have the colonoscopy done,but it's a nessesary(sp) evil. It would put your mind at ease. I know that Roly has been a lot more cheerful,since they gave him the all clear.
It only needed the doctor say the C word,and he was scared shi*less.(scuse the language girls).

I agree with what Pauline said Liz,perhaps you should send one of us a picture of you in your wedding outfit,and we can then pass our critical eye over it. LOL!!!. No seriously, I am sure it will be lovely. Your description of it sounded beautiful.
Have you decided what colour accessories to put with it. Linda had a beautiful outfit for her daughters wedding, she looked stunning.

Is it this weekend that Yvonne and Rita come home from their holidays.
