I had an email from my daughter. she is 58 tomorrow, I asked her how her husband was (my S I L Stephen) she said he is getting on fine now. .but we have to wait for the scan results to see if the cancer has all been removed.?
She said she had not been able to put her foot to the ground as it was so painful very swollen and bright red, the pain is so bad Mum.
. I told ,her she has gout I feel sure . as I had the same symptons in my hands and foot,and I had it for five weeks before they found out what it was..I told her to tell the doctor and ask for a blood test.?
I said fancy geting gout on your birthday.? she said Mum I do feel old now gout is and old persons illness. I could not stop laughing..
to think this was once my little baby girl..
It has got colder now I put the heating on after I had lunch and sat down to read a book. I fell asleep soundly too I slept for an hour. I am angry as I tried to stay awake so i would sleep well tonight.

I am getting bad nights.

Pauline I think Liz thinks she is in USA she has lost her time keeping Lol.
Thanks for the photos of the snow. they have just told us on Radio that we will have the snow over the weekend.
I sat here a little while ago sorting my tablets out. I am having trouble with them I have long boxes marked for each day of the week I sort the 8 tablets out and put them in for each day. the I have a long box in mauve the same which I put my warfarin tablets in. the trouble is I run out before I realise it so I start to panic.
so I am marking each box (this is the orignal boxes not the ones I put in the weekly boxes.) to see if it will work so that when I come to the last box I can reorder the perscription. If i run out of warfarin I am in deep trouble. the same with the steriods and it is usually these that I run out of.
dont get old and have to take so many tablets it makes you even older. Lol

Love Rita

Morning all, not as much snow today but we've got a sheet of ice under it.

The bus got through to us, they said the main roads are all gritted now, it's just the side streets that are a problem. Brent was over the moon when he saw them. They've promised me they'll bring him straight back if it starts to snow again.

Lovely breakfast Jean, hope everything goes well for you today.

Shelly, I'm sending you a bit of the snow in my back garden.

Liz, you're going to bed when everyone else is getting up.

Yvonne, I've got my thick PJs on as well, we all need them in this weather............by the way, where's your photos? We want wedding and baby photos please.

Linda, my niece used to be like that with her children, never thought about putting coats on them because they were going in a nice warm car. Didn't seem to think about what it was like when they got out of the car.

Actually Dermot, that's a really good excuse to not dust or vacuum, I'd never thought about it like that before.

Stephen, stop being a wimp, come out of that cupboard.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

Someone mentioned 'hoover'.

Stephen runs and hides......shaking in his shoes.........locks cupboard door and goes silent.

Might be safe to come out later.

Half the beauty of the world would vanish with the absence of dust. For example, without dust, the sky would appear absolutely black.

So, please, desist from hoovering. I have!

Hi Everyone
Well had a friend came for hot chocolate this afternoon and a chat.
Then our youngest came and picked up her husband from work so he could have his own car back for the weekend as hubby is now off for 4 days and should have a loan car on Monday to get the Jag fixed. Thank goodness he had the SIL 's car for the last few days . He wouldn't have seen through the screen with no heater fan and therefore a fogged screen.
So we had a meal together tonight and they have just left after watching a film together. Leonardo de Caprio in Shutter Island, very good. I even stayed awake .

Yvonne I have had children turn up with no coat................... because they come by car it is assumed they won't need one. Forgetting the fact that I walk everywhere therefore so do the children. No hats or gloves too. Infact little came on Monday with no gloves and only doodles on her feet. But they were back in her bag on tuesday.

Catch you all in the morning.

Marilyn I hope you will not suffer sunstroke. And don't forget you do have to come back sometime. How much longer do you have.

Linda :o) XxX

Yvonne,

Horses.....I love them.....don't have one.....only ridden a few times.

Have been a Fence Judge a couple of times at Cross Country Events. What courage to take those big beasts over them bloody big fences.

I had a lot of horses in the field next to a house I had in the country. My grandchildren loved it and missed them when I sold the house
It's sheep and cows I have now. Don't fancy trying to put a saddle on them.

Been to a couple of events at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre. At one event they had a 'Horse Whisperer'......Amazing

The Mark Phillips Centre at the Gleneagles Hotel is pretty good for a family day out. They have good trekking paths through the nearby hills.

Bet you manage the horses 'neigh' bother , Yvonne.

Hello everyone

Cor blimey, it's a bit chilly here, no snow yet!

the horse has got her thick pj's on tonight so she'll be nice and cosy

son is having a driving lesson at the moment so we'll have our dinner when he gets home

At lunchtime a lot of the kids at school were moaning about cold hands, when I asked them about gloves, they say they haven't got any. You'd think their parents would make sure they had things like that, some even come to school without a coat!

Marilyn, if you click on your name above your post you'll see that you've got your other man back. Don't know how he got there, maybe he just couldn't stand being away from you. He must have beaten up your new man and left him for dead.

You'll have to do the same thing again that you did yesterday. Go into your account and delete the old man and replace him with the new one (a toy-boy if you want). Don't forget to save the changes and sign out.............then sign back in after a couple of minutes.

Mo and Rita, good job you got your shopping in today because I don't think this white stuff's going away.

Maddie, the sea front is at it's best in this weather, the waves crack against the seawall and splash about 30ft into the air. It's brilliant to see, but so bitterly cold that I feel my ears are going to crack and fall off.
