Evening all
Another dry warm day here. Will need to water the pots again tonight.

More knitting this evening.

I'm trying to find a cheap holiday caravan or cottage for my daughter, for 4 nights but only in 2 weeks time and she wants to take the dog too.

Will try to check in later

Good luck with the family Shelly

Hope you are OK Jean, I too have asked if you go with a friend?

Marilyn you are glad to be rid of those extra bits, I bet. Hope you enjoyed your meal.

Bye for now

Linda :o) XxX

Hello everyone.
It's been another hectic day here. We went to a friends funeral today, so sad, but a nice service. There were no hymns,just three songs. Ian was scottish, so on entry to the chapel, he was piped in to Flower of Scotland,
after some thoughts from the family,they played Wind Beneath my wings, and as the curtains closed, they played Islands in a stream, sung by Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers.
We went out for lunch following the funeral. We did not want to go to the wake.
Then I spent the afternoon clearing the garden of weeds and poo. Yuk.

The incidents with foxes seem to really on the increase Rita. We have one that always turns up on the night before the dustman arrives. It has been seen in the early hours of the morning,raking through the bin bags.
You are right Rita, Heir Hunters is a repeat. I remember seing the story of the tramp who lived on the traffic island before.

Yvonne, could your OH's flu symptoms,be caused by the air con in the plane. I know that friends of ours,who go abroad regularly,very often get the same type of symptoms.
He wants a little bit of tender loving care, bless him.

Shelly I have looked everywhere for your brain, and I can't find it. Did you lose it when you went shopping. lol

Marilyn it was quiet without you,HOOORAY she's back girls.
I know what you mean about having your sister staying. My brother is driving me mad, he doesn't stop talking. We may be well into a programme on the t.v, that we always watch, and he keeps yapping in the middle of it.
He has gone to speak to his wife tonight, so I am just hoping they can sort things out. I don't fancy him being a permanant fixture here, I would certainly lose my sanity then.

Pauline, both my son and his OH, were over the moon with the cardigans.
I have finished six, but I started another one yesterday afternoon,and have finished the back, two fronts,and am half way up the sleeves.
My problem is, I keep forgetting to buy the buttons,so I have now got to get enough for two cardigans.
If I had another brain cell I would be dangerous.

How is our Jean tonight I wonder. I hope you are o.k love,and not to tired after todays treatment.
Good luck for tommorrow's, only two more days,and you can have a weekends rest from it.
Do you have to go on your own to have the treatment, or does someone go with you.
Just remember, if you do have to go alone, we are all with you in spirit.

Ooops I nearly forgot to say hello to Linda. Sorry love it's my age.
Hows your day been today, did you get all the clearing up done in the garden.
We have still not had any rain, but because we are going down to Hastings on sunday, with the whole family, it will rain that day.

Hi everybody, it's been a bit nippy here today.

Yes Marilyn I missed you - it was very quiet while you were busy with your sister. Have you only gone out for a meal so you can show your clear neck off?

Shelly what have you been thinking about? You hurt your brains but didn't tell us the reason.

Yvonne I think that man-flu is just an excuse not to do any decorating. Just get someone in, it's much quicker and no arguing.

Rita I hope your daughter's MRI scan is OK. She shouldn't have to pay to get it done but it's worth the money to get it done quickly. At least she won't have to spend months worrying. I wish I could say something to stop you worrying about your own scans but I don't think anyone can put your mind at rest. We'll just have to pray that it isn't any worse.

Jean, 7 weeks is a long time and it'll drag for you but if it's going to work - then it's worth every minute. We'll continue to put you in our prayers and just hope it works for you. Life just isn't fair is it?

Linda is that you saying you dozed off? Has all this rushing around finally caught up on you? I need to sit down and have a rest just reading what you get up to.

Mo was your son and his partner over the moon with all the knitting you've been doing? I love to see little baby things, they're so cute, how many have you done?

I got some vouchers for a beauty clinic for my birthday, my niece and nephew bought them for me. So I went today and spent some of them. Had a lovely special pedicure (first time I've ever had one) and nail art on my big toenails. I was there all afternoon but they look lovely, very pretty with little diamonds on. I keep looking at my toes and smiling - they look much better than when I do them myself.

I've booked in again for 4 weeks time but I might go sooner. I bet the little diamonds come off when I go in the bath. Might sit with my feet out the side of the bath.

So I'm sure that's where he has caught his Man Flu....awwh.. Bless him

Jean don't forget to rest again today after your treatment...do as your told LOL .

.Rita.....,I saw Heir hunters this morning.....what about that tramp....Wow he must have stunk !!!

Hi...... Mo, Shelly & Pauline , have you all missed me ???????


Just thought I'd let you all know that I have had 6 little nodules cut off around my neck at the Doctors this afternoon , one was a bit hanging ....Horrible !!!
The doctor CUT 5 out with scissors !!!!, one out with anesthetic injection.
I told the Doctor that I can now wear my Diamonds around my neck ...LOL

Afternoon everyone

just read through the post to catch up

Sorry about your cat Mo. 17 is a good age but it's sad to loose a pet.

OH has been ill since we come back from holiday, a bit like flu. I said it was 'manflu' lol I was hoping he would start decorating our bedroom cos he still had a week off work but that hasn't happened

Our garden pots suffered a bit while we was away they've gone all straggley (is that a word!)

Rita, the girl in the shop where you got your tv times was nice offering you a chair and a drink.

Shelly Heir Hunters this morning has been on three times at least I love that programme and wish they would do some new ones as it gives you an in sight on how they work, and find what they require whereas WDYTYA dont show you how hard you have to work to find the result you need.

My daughter phoned me she has had trouble with her foot and has for months been in pain with it . swelling it has affected her hip and back as well.and she went to her doctors he gave her a number to phone for an MRI scan you get four hospital you can go to .. the first three told her they could not fit her in till next year. the other one told her three months. she has gone private guess what she gets the MRI done on friday. she said it is bad that you can only get urgent treatment by going private.
But she said the pain is so bad. she is the one who's husband Steve had the big operation for cancer on his stomack in June.
I thought they said you got quicker treatment these days.

I suppose the others who come on here are off out shopping.

Jean Good luck with your treatment it is hard to have to face things like this. people think I am cool about it but underneath I am not..
But if we want to go on we have to try hard to cope with it all. so do hope your think ahead of it all. Bless you.

Shelly what are you like > you get onto the thread then forget what you were going to say ? that is a sign of old age and you have a long way to go for that.

I have done the washing and it is all dried I have the ironing to do but it is too hot for that so I will wait till it cools down a bit before I tackle that

Did you hear on the news that the foxes are attcking people again in Surrey we have it now. bit frightening to let children out to play and have to watch your animals are not attacked.. just shows you how tame they are becoming.
My son told me he had two in his front garden last week and while watching Tv he was looking at them to see where they went he has a wood nearby. he also has deer come into his garden at the front he has a hugh front garden more like a small field than a garden as they have two cats they are worried about them now.the back garden is taken up by the swimming pool.and Patio.

I have been weeding the front garden as you know it is very small but is full of flowers eitherside of the door and some of the neighbours have been coming over and taking photos of it I told them the hanging baskets are done by the gentleman upstairs from me.

time for a cup of tea.

Morning Linda and everyone.

It is blue sky and very hot and it is early as yet. everywhere is so dry the grass is going brown I cannot recall the last time we had rain here.
I am wondering if we will get any rain later they did forcast it for this area.

I have sorted out the washing ready to take in to the laundry later this morning. Just having my breakfast and then tablets and eye drops have to be sorted.

I will call back later.

Rita.

Morning everyone
Very quiet on here. Everyone must be busy what with visitors and getting out and about and just a little gardening for all o us to do too.

Lots of watering around here again, as neighbours are dog sitting for their daughter and they like me have lots of pots.

Managed a little knitting before dozing after the busy weekend.

Lovely here this morning
