But going out for dinner tonight at my friends house.

Off for my bath

(_)? (_)? (_)? (_)? ......._)? half a cup for me.as I have not long had one ! lol

Hi everyone.
Sounds like god results for you today then Rita. No hospital till may is a bonus for you. You only need to find out about the nose bleeds now. And if you are anaemic,could this be causing the bleeds.
Have a lovely holiday Marilyn. Hopefully this weather will be kind to you,and stay nice.
Have a smashing time in Bognor Linda. When do the little ones come back to you after your break away.
I have sent the warning out to Bognor,about the lady in the bikini,who will be sitting on the beach on saturday afternoon. They have alerted the lifeguards,who will be on the lookout for you. But your OH has been banned from wearing his hankerchief on his head,on the beach. LOL
Shelly is the Gazebo ready for the BBQ you are going to hold for us all.
Hi Pauline,did I read you right,that you can do predictive txting. Ooooh you
are a clever clogs if you can.

I logged on at 5 and typed it all out and it vamished this keeps happening it is driving me up the wall.

I went to the hospital left here at 4 got ther 25 minutes later I waited 10 minutes to see the RA consultant he said I am proud of you Rita you have done very well you should be proud of yourself (I had no idea what he was speaking about. ?)
He said you still have a water infection (I dont know how he knew that as I had that test down three months ago.) He told me I was to have another blood test and water the blood test I have to make an appoinment at my doctors to get this done the water test to be done before i left the hospital
He also told me I am anaemic I said I am not surprised as I am only allowed three tablespoons of greens a week. he said that has nothing to do with it. he told me to cut my Thyroids down I said I will have to tell my doctor then as he put me on the higher amount then he changed his mind and told me to stay on the thyriod I have also gained 3 lbs I need to cut down what i eat and walk a lot I pointed out it could be the increase in Steriods.
I have ti wait for for appointment they send them through the post to you now.
I was ome here 3 .past 5
so I have no hospital appointment now till 11th May the results of the scan

Rita

Hi and afternoon everyone
So busy. 2 littles today both are sleeping after their lunch. Hubby out for a bike ride just waiting for him for our lunch together.
Of to Bognor tomorrow. So I won't add til Monday eve at least.

Best wishes for the hospital this afternoon Rita.

Have been to the lake with the girls and fed the ducks etc. So many tiny fish too and bigger ones as well. Don't know where they come from?

Weather lovely again.

Teased hubby I would pack a bikini for the weekend !!!! Don't want to shock eveyone

Linda :o) XxX

Hello Pauline,

Yes Hubby coming with me.....cant leave him at home he might miss something ..LOL But he does most of the driving so I DO need him !

Just done all my veggie's and went to cut the swede up and it was rotten right through.....only bought it yesterday from a well known store. guess it happens, so hubby has gone out to get me another one ..Awwh Bless him

Pauline I have watched in amazement at these young ones texing, how do they do it so quick ? on the buses is a classic.

Morning all.

Rita the only chance I get to stay in bed a bit longer is at weekends, during the week I have to be up at 5am every day. At weekends I make the most of it and stay in my bed till about 8am.

And never worry about how much you write on here, it gives us something to read when we log on.

I must admit I never have a conversation on my mobile, I only use it if I can't find my friend in the shop, so it's just a case of asking where she is..........3 words.

Mo, I type slow as well, takes me ages to put some of my posts on here. I use predictive text on my phone, but I'm still slow compared to the young ones. I can't even think as quick as they move their thumbs. I have to look for the the letters I want to use but they seem to be able to do it without even looking at the phone.

Are you leaving your hubby at home next week Marilyn or is he going to Devon with you? Is it warm where you are now? It's bright an sunny here but freezing, the grass was all white with frost this morning.

Shelly will you be able to take your gazebo with you when you get your new house?

hi Rita,

Its Bideford and she's got family in Barnstaple and villages in and around North Devon, So we will be doing lots of visits.

Good luck Rita.....

Have a good day Marilyn dont go too mad on the veggies your break your nails. lol
I hope you have a great holiday I am sure your sister will be so pleased to see you and if she is like my sister it is a day of laughs when we are together.
she was telling me she went to the WFHS last night and they had a talk on Willesden and the stars that were born there and lived there she mention Twiggy I have just told her she went to school with my daughter it was a girls school in neasden I am suprised she didnt know. as I heard my daughter speak about her.
I am already now for the doctors I have just got to put my coat on it takes 3 minutes to walk there but 10 if I am not well. l want to do some shopping afterwards incase my cold gets too bad.

what part of North Devon are you off to Marilyn.is it on the coast.

Rita

Morning All.

Yes I had a few more mins snuggling .!

I got a house full tonight got my brother & sisters & OH coming for dinner.
So this morning off to do the veggies.

Guess What.???????

I'm off again on Monday for a week in North Devon , although my older sister lives there I am staying in a Hotel that was advertised at a reasonable price,
So its breakfast & evening meal so will eat a light lunch with my sister and take her out and about as she is a widow.
She will love her sister taking her out as she lost her hubby in a motor bike accident at the age of 50yrs.

Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather , its beautiful here today.

Rita don't forget to tell the Doctors Or the Hospital about your nose bleed.

Shelly...I know why you want that Gazebo to pretend it your cottage with Climbing Roses all around don't you ?????

Shelley I have had some good bargain from Willkinsons in the past I hope you get one.
Mo Mobile phones drive me up the wall they are fine to use for emergencies or even if you are shopping for someone and want to ask them if they would mind having such and such as the one you asked for isnt available. but In London you get these people on a bus at a bus stop with a speaker on their lap and shouting into that we had a chinese young woman and I had to tell her to tone it down as she had been on it for 1/2 hour the bus was the 1 hourly one and I could not put up with that for another half and hour the other people at the stop mouthed thank you to me.
I have a sore throat this morning so have been garggling. I have the doctor for blood test at 10 and then this afternoon at 4.30 The hospital.
I bet the others are all smuggled down in their beds thinking I have just a few more minutes.

Love Rita

iv been looking at gazebos for the garden
iv seen one that will do nicely in wilkinson
i dont have a very big garden so carnt have a big fancey one
it will have to go right in frount of the back door

Hi girls.
Talking off mobiles,why is it when people talk on them they have to shout.
And I find it so funny when you see car drivers,obviously on their mobiles,but have the ear piece in the ear,talking away to the person on the other end,but look like they are talking to themselves.
My grandchildren,can send me a txt,and I send a responce,but they can send a reply so quickly that I feel I have only just answered them,and they are asking another question. I think they must use predictive txting,at least thats what I think it's called. Whereas I can only txt normal,and it takes me ages,just as it takes me ages to type on here.

evening all

my mobil is only used for an alarm clock lol
i dont use mine much but do have to keep it from the kids if i have credet

I have just realised I am writing essays on here now talk about short and Sweet

Rita

Pauline

I have got a mobile but I cant hear it !!!!! I got deaf ears don't forget ..LOL.

But I loved the last Email......God I hope I don't ever end up looking like that ..!

Rita,.....
He said I'll be along the opticians in a few mins but he was almost 3/4 of an hour before he turned up !!
I was standing in the cold and that is not acceptable
and he knows it.......I wouldn't dare do that to him.

BUT I STILL LOVE HIM .....sigh's so much ..LOL

No I didn't buy anything for me only a bolero knit for my granddaughter, as I wanted more time to look around.

Marilyn
did you spend too much on your glasses then or was it drinking glasses you bought I Love Egg sausages and chips and fish and chips two of my favourite meals.
I sorry but that wasnt nice of you to have ago at OH after all he may have got caught up somewhere so if he was only a few minutes late you should have made allowances for him poor soul.
but I want to know did you go and buy more clothes ?

I carry a Mobile with me Pauline but it isnt stuck up to me ear every minute
they have them in shops walking along the street in cafes trains buses they drive me mad half the time it is only chin wagging as my gran would say It is as though they cannot moved without them. we used Telephone boxes in our day I suppose we could have put it on our backs and walked along or use one of the police boxes like Dr Who has ? but to say I have to go back and get it was the end for me.

Looking at a programe last night on TV before i had my nose bleed they were saying people who use there IPods and Music boxes whatever they are called and have telephone up to their ear will suffer and many are now of tinitus and they are young people mostly.and that is a nightmare i know I have had it 20 odd years mine was through an ear infection but they are bringing it on themselves.

Pauline I could have a mobile hair dresser now if I wanted but I would rather go out and get my hair done when I mcved here 7 1/2 years ago the lady upstairs sent hers down to me she said I dont do perms I dont do certain cuts I didnt ask for a perm or this certain cut she did it that time but I didnt ask her to come back. I know I am an old misery guts.
I could even shop on line but I like to go and get bargains I feel happier then Lol

Love Rita

LOL Marilyn, you really should know better than to go shopping with a man. How come you didn't take mobiles with you? You could have rang him at 2.15 to tell him you were out of the opticians.

See Rita, that's why people always need to take their mobiles with them, it's so they always know where the other one is. When I go shopping with my friend we always wander off in different directions and have to phone each other to meet up again.

Rita I think with the luck you're having lately you should stay in. Never mind, at least you're happy with your hair, you need somewhere to go now to show it off.

On that note Rita.....I think you should have a Mobile Hairdresser !! LOL

No buses no-one to talk about old folk and you would be in the warmth of your own home ..clothes can be bought on internet......SORTED !!.. RITA....

Now I have had chips ,sausages, mushrooms, egg mushy peas ...LOVELY.
We so enjoyed it....but had toooooo much ....

Got my glasses....another ROW with hubby, well just a small one.
We parted in town as I went to collect my glasses and arranged to meet at 2-30pm, but I was out by 2-15pm and where was he ? Dont know ....

He got carried away window shopping and turned up at 3pm. so you can see I had every right to be FUMING !!!!!!!

All that wasted time that I could have been spending on clothes ..LOL

So ended up telling him to do some MORE window shopping as I want to go to look at the shops !!.
Got back at 4-30pm as arranged. worn out ..!!

I thought I told myself NOT to go shopping anymore with him....Why did I do It ?????

Pauline I wished I had read your thread before I ventured out today

my morning.

I thought to cheer myself up after a rotten yesterday I would go and treat myself to a hair do. mine was like a bush having been stuck indoor for three weeks with my bad leg.
so off I go bus late I waited 15 minutes bus comes. get to Woking looking forward to my hair being done blow the money.
On the bus came to young girls I say girls they were around 16 with their babies in push-chairs the lady at the side spoke to them she said to me children belong to them there not married. (As if I cared.)
One girl said blow I have left my mobile indoor I can't go out without it incase I get a call. the other one said I have mine so I am alright while the girls divered whether to go back and get her phone or carry on into Town. she carried on into Town (why do they have to have that mobile with them all the time. ?)
I got off the bus as I turned the corner I saw about hundred or more people all standing at the entrance to the Mall where I had to go. told all the shops were shut fire drill we waited and waited after 1/2 hour or maybe a little longer we were let in. (The store keepers had gone in a little while before to open their shops.)
I got to the shop for my hair do to find it had 6 people infront of me but I waited got it done well pleased and came out brought myself two pairs of cotton trousers for my holiday in July.
Missed the first bus by a minute. waited for the other one got on. two men got on and I heard one say the trouble is the old people live longer these days I felt like saying why should we not ?
This is not the first time I have heard this said and it makes me so cross. We had a lady driver of the bus and she honked her horn as two young men strolled a cross the road as if they had all the time in the world they gave her such a look, she said to me they do that all the time we only have so long before the traffic lights change and people are waiting for the bus to take them home.
I had a good laugh when I got home.

Rita

Morning everyone.

That's better Marilyn, this is more like you, I was worried about you getting up early but you seem to be back to your normal self now. By the way, you really need those new glasses if you haven't seen me for yonks - I was here yesterday morning.......lol

Rita you had a terrible day yesterday, nothing went right for you, hope today is better.

It's freezing here, bright and sunny but freezing. I'm hoping to get the heating back on by tonight, yesterday we had no heat, no hot water and no gas. My son's care worker brought 2 oil heaters round last night so we could put one at each side of his chair to keep the chill off him.

Linda I think you've caught the spending bug off Marilyn, it's very contagious you know. She passed it on to me years ago and I still have it.

Shelly your dinner made me fancy lamb, think I'll do roast lamb with roast potatoes tomorrow. Can't do it today because I can't get into the kitchen - the workmen have got some of the floor up and I'm not sure they'll get it back down by tonight.

Aww Mo, sorry you didn't win the darts, ask Marilyn to lend you a pair of her new glasses when she gets them today...........being able to see the board will help :o))

Glad to hear the counselling is still going OK Liz.
