Morning Everyone ..

Its a lovely day to-day...la la la

Now what do I do today ?......apart from looking after grand kids NOTHING .. maybe in the garden planting alpines in my rockery other than that sit in the gardenwith a G&T or glass of chilled white wine.

Maddie.....a TIP for you...get your credit card and line it from your nose towards your corner of your eye and then draw your black liner on the slop of the credit card and you will get a perfect peak !! fill in the eye socket line separately.

Stevey I saw two dead pheasants yesterday along the side of roads.....at this rate we will have an extinction of them ...

Cath I had 3 sparrows in my garden yesterday eating the grub in the grass so maybe yours have flown to Devon ..LOL

Rita ,,how are you today ?....and hows Mike ?

Afternoon all

caught up with all your posts

How are you today Rita? Sending positive thoughts to you, Mike and Ryan.

It's been very sunny here

Son has finished college for 3 weeks, he's going to a friends next week for a couple of days. He has his driving test soon.

Mil's funeral was Monday, at the village church, lots of people there, mostly from the local bowls club where her husband plays. Before she became ill she used to do the catering for matches. It was a nice service and the sun was shining.

Mike is to have a second operation in May waiting for the letter of date and time to arrive, it is a big operation but not as big as his other one. he is to see the consultant to work out his medications he is too go on.
he said his other stitch cannot be removed untill the wound has heald.

Ryan is home had another MRI yesterday wanted to go to the toilet while in there so they stopped the machine let him go to the toilet and he went back under again.he is home and now a waits MRI. results.

I feel better with my infection in my chest but my head is not so good. I am having trouble with the tinnitus wake and feel sick. I took a walk over to the doctors when my foot doctor left. to make an appointment with the doctor about my ears. they have no vacanies for two weeks she told me to phone Monday at 8.30 to see if there was a cancellation .one of the doctors is on holiday.

Our Estate manager has gone off to Poland for 8 days to visit her parents.
she said she packed some warm clothing as her Mum told her it was cold out there.

lovely day here sun is shinning and it is very warm.


hope everyone is well. and enjoying the sun.

I told her I only want a doctors letter for the ENT hospital.

Hi Rita.

Nobody should wait two weeks for an appointment....now get on that phone and see ANY doctor for an appointment for a letter.......gosh I'm glad I'm not there I would raise the roof ...

If I can see any doctor at my surgery on the day I ring ,then its got to be common practice all over the country ....I'm not saying you'll see your doctor but there is always a duty doctor on every day ......don't let them bluff you. if necessary tell them its urgent !!

Off my soap box for the time being ..LOL

What a great day ,I have been in the field today walking around ,looking at all the wild life ,lots of butterflies .
Its my youngest sons birthday today ......guess what ? I forgot to post his card what with my friends staying I really did forget ,so I'm in the dog house !! I sent him a 123 card on the internet as a peace offering ..LOL
But he said it was not the same as it is my 40th mum, not just any old birthday ...
Oh dear .......

He forgets his dads birthday often ....well that's different he says ..LOL

Marilyn fancy forgetting to send your sons birthday card off but at least you remembered it . many dont.

Our Doctors have a large place it has three surgeries in three doctors pratices
. My doctors have five doctors the one next to mine had 10 and the end one 15,
My doctor also has a pracitce in Woking attached to the hospital. so one is on duty at the surgery near me 2 other at the Main surgery in Woking one doctor is on call one has a day off they take it in turns or maybe doing an operation at the hospital.
we have pratice nurses three district nurses. Baby nurse unit .midwife unit. deaf unit and diabetic unit and speech unite.
The patients are over the top I am sure.always packed in the surgery waiting room.
Normally I ask and get an appointment this time I have not.
so I will phone in Monday morning for an appointment if not I will try in the afrenoons they open at 8.30 and shut at 6.30 no one works on a Saturday.
So I sit and suffer and hope that when i get to see a Doctor he will be able to help .at the moment it is like a pan of sausages sizzling away.

This block of flats are empty this evening The Esate Manager is on her way to Poland the guy in one of the flats is off at his Lady friends wont see him till tomorrow. and the Old fellow and his wife have gone off to bingo with their nephew

The thing is it puts me off going away or anywhere as it is so distressing.
If I win the Lotto tomorrow night you know what I will do private medical care.

Rita..... still no excuses for a 2 week wait for a doctor ... even more so with THAT many doctors ....oh I'd have a field day ...

I'm very aware that elderly patients need doctors and that's your right .

Not saying any more I'm having a glass of wine instead ..LOL


its still a lovely evening here and I might just sit in the garden for a while and put my feet up ....

Evening all,
Well its been another beautiful day and had a few minutes while the two youngest were having their naps so sat in garden and enjoyed it.
Youngest daughter has just painted my toenails for me as my hands are too shaky to do it without getting half a bottle on my skin, lol. Got to make an effort before my trip.
Rita Im sorry you have to wait so long but like Marilyn I would be raising the roof at surgery. I hope Mike will be ok after his op and not have to face further surgery, he too could do with a bit of luck. Glad Ryan is home and hope his problems can be dealt with quickly. Poor little mite.
Going up my tree for a while, may be back for some help!!
Hope everyone enjoys a nice evening,

Cath xx

Cath

I could not even get down to do my toe nails. I use to put nail polish on them but that was years ago.
Not like out Marilyn the pin up girl I dont know how she manages with her family and her make up.always look nice when we see her holiday photos.
No wonder her photo with Linda look good as did Linda. I have never heard of that when putting on eyeliner. and the visa card. good idea that.. I will have to try that when I am making myself up to go out.

The foot guy who comes to me is a bit of all right he is such a nice bloke he is Turkiest orignal well his parents were. He takes such care when doing my feet. I usually go to his clinic but being unwell I could not go so he phoned and said he would call on me. my feet are smaller now no long nails so I cannot climb tree like cats or monkeys..

Marilyn I wish you lived near me I would send you after them at my surgery. and the chemist.
My doctor that called said I had Labrinthitis I have never heard of that( I hope I spelt that right )

Nothing much on Tv tonight. anyone got the winner of the Grand National tomorrow ?
My sons mother in law went to the races today dressed up she goes every year for Ladies day. she is 2 years older than me.

Rita

Morning everyone,
Rita I suspected Labrynthitis a couple of pages back as your symptoms were similar to a friend of mine who suffers with same condition. I do hope the doctor can give you something to help.
I have never worn make up except on my wedding day.
I'm not doing any horses on Grand National but good luck if you are.
Got lots of housework to do today, have to leave house spotless before I go as my two youngest daughters are staying here and are under threat of eviction (lol) if they dont keep it that way. This afternoon taking car for 2 new tyres and wheel balancing etc and then giving it a good clean inside and out, topping up fluids and general check over.

Hope you all have a lovely day, back later,

Cath xx

Morning All !

The sun has got his hat on............and I'm going out to play.

What a glorious day it was yesterday. Could do with a few weeks of this.

Can't put it off much longer. I'll need to get the grass cutter out. Often thought of just letting in a few sheep or a couple of cows. Problem is I don't need much manure, I suppose I could sell that.

Hey ho ! Off I go.

Have a good day ya all !

Maddie,

Neil Oliver has his hair insured for £1,000,000. Wish I had insured mine. I wonder if they would pay out for a 'LOSS'.

Morning everyone Cath I dont bet on Horses either I dont like to see them jump hurdles or race hard with someone with a whip hitting their sides.

I use to bet when I was a lot younger my last bet was when "Sheila, s Cottage ran " I think the second horse I did was called " Russian Hero "many years ago.

I saw that some where about Neil Oliver hair. perhaps he esxpects to go bald quickly hence this insuance..That is vanity.

time for a cup of tea.

Morning all.

Neil's hairdresser must be a nervous wreck when she cuts his hair. My hubby doesn't trust anyone to cut his hair............ I have to do it.

Stephen, it's a lovely day for cutting the grass, and there's no better smell that newly cut grass............. apart from my mother's stottie cakes (that's bread) in the oven.

Rita, things have to get better for you soon, we'll have to get Marilyn on the phone to your doctor, she'll sort it out. I hope the next operation that Mike has will be the last one he needs.

I'm like Mo and Cath.......... I prefer to go shopping without my husband...... he prefers it that way as well.

Shelly, how are you on plumbing? I need a few jobs doing. I had the plumber out yesterday and I gave him a long list of things that need doing.

Maddie, I wear mascara and lippy - never wanted to clog my skin up with makeup. When I was younger I used to wear eyeshadow and false eyelashes........... it was all about the eyes.

Marilyn, shame on you for forgetting to post that card, you'll just have to blame it on your age!!

I don't usually gamble....... don't like losing my money but might pick a horse out today.

Morning All,,

Got two extra faces to feed this morning.......grand daughter & grandson, both love porridge WITH Chocolate nutella .....loads of it !!

Pauline , I have always cut Pete's hair he has never been to the barbers all our married life,
As for make up , I wear everything but foundation I cant stand it now as I used to have to wear it when I was a Beauty Consultant & Make up Artist ....it was the LAW ...LOL..... also I know that there are chemicals in all face make up & sun creams ,that I know can cause skin cancer.

Shopping my Pete loves it.......but go our separate ways in the town and meet up at a certain time.....he does all the computer shops & electrical gadgets , its all works well and he loves the £ shop ...LOL buys loads of gadgets .
trouble with him if he sees something that takes his fancy ,he'll buy not one but half a dozen , and store it .......more clutter .

Now where is LINDA ????????????????

Morning everyone
What a beautiful one
Sorry I haven't added for a couple of days just been too busy??

Had son's cocker spaniel for a couple of nights so long dog walks, suppose it's good for me.

Last night at eldests for a goodbye party for her Italian lodgers, moving into west London, hoping for better jobs and pay, but they might be back when they see how much rent is commanded in London.

This evening off for my spa treat, can't wait for my massage.

Son cut hubby's hair recently, now he wants me to get some clippers and do it for him !!

Rita I hope you feel a bit better each day and Mike and Ryan too.

Mo I'm still knitting !! Not done so much reading lately.
But I have been fence painting too what a thankless task that is and I have blisters on my fingers cos I grip the brush too hard. Still the gate looks better for the house frontage and I know it's been done.

Have a good day everyone Take care Enjoy the sunnshine

Linda :o) XxX

Where is everybody????
Been for a walk with hubby before he went to work.
Just painted some more fence panels ugh long job.

Having a drink and resting my blisters

Out later catch up tomorrow

Linda :o) XxX

iv got number 10 and number 15 and there off

Linda, I have just come in from the garden. The shed is now painted, so thats that, till the two new fence panels arrive during the week.
It's such a pity to have to come back indoors again, it's so lovely out there.

Talking of haircuts, I have been doing Roly's with the clippers,since he had his brain haemorrage in 2002.
After his operation, he looked quite odd, where they had shaved him, that we decided that it was time it all came off.
He had a comb over for years prior to this, that he used to laquer down, and when we went out in high winds, it used to stick up in the air. LOL
It's so much better with his Mitchell Brothers style. We now can call him bald eagle, as his beady eyes are into everything.

one of mine is winning

come on number 10

YES IM THE WINNERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

now how much do i get for my pound
