Rita

Morning Ladies Hummmmmmmm

I have read your going on,s if you can call it that. I am doing a quickly here as I have t get my shower before all the little phone calls and workman appear.
First off Marilyn when I lived in Ealing many years ago I lived next door to a Homeopathic Doctor (he had a photo on his desk of the Queen Mum signed he told me he had treated her at sometime but I dont know if he did ) He trained at the London Homeopathic College )
anyway I was stung by a wasp and he treated me he cut an onion in half anf rubbed it on the wasp sting which had started to swell then. and within wo hours the swelling had gone down and I was fine. a few days afterwards Ann who lived a few doors away from me (very elderly ) screamed as she moved her compost heap to turn it over she disturbed a nest of bees and her arms were in a terrible mess. The doctor was not in so I did what he did to me and rubbed a cut onion it up and down her arms and it took all the swelling down. I have no idea why this happened, when the docotor came home I took her to see him and he said thats fine but gave her a couple of little white tablets to take.because of her age. I have no idea why this worked perhaps it was a fluke but it did the job and I still do that if I get a sting now.

See, I turn up and everyone's gone to bed lol


I am sorry about the bee stings but had to laugh Pauline, imagined the contortions of trying to suck the sting out yourself, when it was in the sole of your foot! I can't even reach to cut my toenails easily so for sure wouldn't reach under my feet lol But imagine having to ask someone else to suck one out of your foot, ugh, it would have to be love to do that! Hope Pete had his teeth in when he did your sting Marilyn lol

Well the latest bit of news: the son who proposed to his girlfriend in January and a couple of weeks later said the wedding is in August , called round last evening to tell us he and his future wife are already pregnant!!! They waited for the 12 week scan which was yesterday and then told everyone so now my o.h. is strutting around as if he had something to do with it, heaven help them if the baby takes after him! The girl is lovely but was desperate to settle down and have a family as she is already 30 and thought she was leaving things late, but I think even this has surprised them, the son said they had talked about getting married and starting a family quickly but I don't think it was meant to happen this fast, and now she is having to have the wedding dress altered. She will be 28 weeks gone at the wedding and surprise, surprise her best mate who was a single mum and met a new man 6 mths ago, is expecting too and is 7 weeks ahead, so will be 35 weeks gone - she is a bridesmaid!! She has said to me in the past that o.h.'s son is a good person deep down altho they have had troubles in the couple of years they have been together, so I hope they aren't making a big mistake, the son is so like my o.h. I worry for the girl. She is going to have to go back to work at least part time when the baby is born as they took on a big mortgage just over a year ago, but at least the house they bought is big enough for a baby or two as they have four bedrooms. They live 40 miles away.
We won't get to see baby much as o.h's exwife already invites herself to stay with them once a month, she tried to fix it to be a regular date but they manage to put her off sometimes, she is very clingy but not maternal if that makes sense, she just likes to be in charge!
I have been asked to knit something as none of the other mums knit, so I will enjoy doing that but won't start it just yet as I have until the day before Guy Fawkes Day and I will wait to see if they find out what sex baby is.
Oh well, something else for o.h. to boast about lol

Hi Shelly,

Sent you a PM.....

Going to nite nite's x

Rita, you're young at heart and that's what matters.

It's nice that you have a big family, you can sit back and think none of them would be here if it wasn't for you and your husband. I bet you don't forget your anniversary, my mam used to have to tell me when it was mine.

Mo, I'm having curry tonight - but I'm making it myself. I know it's chicken because I killed it myself .............. that last bit's a lie - I got it already beheaded at Asda.


Edit: I'm going for my bath now, then I'll be having my curry.

Happy anniversary for yesterday Pauline fancy forgetting something as important as that.
It is like sending a sorry I am late birthday card to someone

I have had to put my heatng on this evening as I am really cold. my feet hurt like mad think it is my arthriis playing up. so I have put some thick socks on.hoping it will help.
I will be glad when tomorrow is over I am sick to death of keep hearing these polititions going over the same thing, theyreally beleive what they are saying yet wait and see what excuse they give for letting people down after they have won it will be one excuse after another.
I am on my orange box again.

Rita

Have you all gone and left me talking to myself?

Oh, I forgot to say, it was my 26th wedding anniversary yesterday, I only remembered about it today. None of us ever remember it, my mam was the only one who ever remembered it but she's gone now.

Marilyn, the name and place of the restaurant is on the email, it's the heading.

Pauline,

NO don't think I'll be having any Indian curry after that .......
oh that was horrible, wonder if that was in this country ?

I stood on one of those big bumble bees (with my bare foot) last summer, little swine stung my foot, took me ages to get the sting out. Don't know how it still managed to sting me, with it being all squished under my foot.

Yes got it all Mo,

Just waiting for it to swell up....as I can still feel it stinging ,,,hubby said he's sure its been sucked out ....Hmmmmm I'm not so sure..

Anyway I have smashed the blighter to bits !!!! he wont be buzzing anymore.

Mo, I must be a 'one trick pony' because I can't make it do it again - my magic's all gone.

It wasn't the drink, because I haven't started on that yet.

Marilyn I don't know what's going on with the carpet but I'm not having it again - even though I liked it. Someone came out to inspect it and he didn't know what was going on with it either.

Marilyn you'll be glad you didn't have curry when you see the next email!!

They only go for sweet meat Marilyn. Have you put vinegar on it. That was my mum's remedy for stings. Mind you,you smell like a bag off chips afterwards.
Have you got any antihistamine tablets,as they deffo help.

Hi Everyone,
