Picture of Oscar back by popular demand.
I live in Cambridgeshire but my mum was born in Nordelph as was her mum and although her mum brought her up she knows little about her as she was very secretive, and thats why I am researching the george family, George being my grandmother's maiden name.
I go into hospital every now and again and I like my home comforts, so let pete take his old slippers, they will make him feel at home.

A croaky good morning to all,
I've just got up! Got up at 5.30 to go to work but felt terrible so went back to bed. My joints are aching something awful and I had a thumping headache as well as the sore throat and high temperature. At least the headache has gone now.
Marilyn I hope all goes well for Pete and he recovers quickly.
Rita, am thinking of little Ryan and hope he will soon be well and back to himself.
Back later,

*puts on surgical mask* Oh dear this is a poorly thread today...... Cath off work ill, Shelly's lot throwing up, Ryan having an operation and Pete having an op tomorrow.

Rita, I hope it goes well for Ryan, poor little soul, I feel so sorry for him.

Marilyn, tell Pete I'll be thinking of him........... in his scruffy old slippers, hope he won't be in too much pain afterwards.

Shelly, I'm sure your youngest will take advantage of the situation and name his price.......LOL

Cath, don't sit so close to the cyber hatch, you catch everyone's germs from it.

Hope the rest of you are fit and well. ~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone.

Mo, it still won't let me vote, so I sent them an email to complain about it. This is the email they sent back to me...

Hi Pauline,

Last week it came to our attention that people were using the manual voting registration form to spam entries and cheat the system. It was posing a risk to the site so we took the decision to remove it.

Sadly there is no other way to vote unless you are a Facebook user.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,

Kate

Looks like we could have voted last week but not this week.

Well done Pauline ...you sorted the baby votes for us , I'm not on Facebook so wont be able to vote.
But having said that how are they going to judge it as already lots of votes have gone through the way they have a suggested ALREADY....so it will not be fair game anyway !.

Pauline ...Pete will be in pain big time cause he's a man .... dont ya know ..LOL

I'll look after him, and I will miss him for 12 hrs !! LOL

just telephone the hospital about my CT scan no appointment has come through only to be told I am not down the list. so I have phoned The Royal Surrey I am waiting for a return call. this has thrown my appointments into disaray as I am booked on 23rd eye hospital 25th dentist for fillings I am suppose to have the CT done every three months and see the consultant 10 days afterwards that would be 7th well I am away on 13th till 19th on holiday ( a short break ).

I hope Petes op is going well.

Thank you Pauline for reporting the failing of the voting system. I even joined face book, but it still wont let me vote even going through there.
So it looks like all the late joiners, are going to dip out on the votes, and that does seem unfair to me.

Cath if Stephen was around, he would have advised you to have a hot toddy, to make you feel better.
Get well soon honey.

Marilyn, I will be thinking of Pete tomorrow.
Get your nurses outfit ready, to run around after him, he will need a lot of
tender loving care, bless him.

Shelly, I hope you've got your gas mask on, to prevent you from catching the germs going round the house.
I hope you supply the bog cleaner with a pair of rubber gloves, and a clothes peg for their nose.

Rita, here we go again, they really do mess your appointments up don't they. Surely they must know that you need your CT scan done, as soon as possible in readiness for seeing the specialist.
It seems like couldn't run a P up in a brewery.

I hope that Maddie and Pat are enjoying their day at work, and not working to hard. Never mind it will soon be a bank holiday weekend, and you can catch up on your rest.

Rita Report 16 May 2011 16:03

I am told to leave the scan but to attend the hospital on the7th get the blood tests done and tell the hospital what happened about the scan, then they will make another one for me.
so I will do that. I have to phone them as an emergency if I get any pain.
I have so many appointments listed I will find it hard to fit anything else in.lol
Marilyn when will you know when Pete is coming out, maybe they will keep him in one day extra ?
I dont know how my Ryan has got on his mother is with him at the hospital in London and his father is with the other two children.
what a day this has been..

Hi everyone,
I think my day went ok. It was busy! I've got tomorrow morning off. I'm serving at a requiem mass tomorrow morning. The mass isn't until 10.30am so it means I can have a lie in. I mustn't forget that I've got to go to work int he afternoon.
I've had fish and chips for tea. That's my Monday treat.
Rita you seem to be having a lot of bad luck with appointments :-(

Marilyn, If I don't work I don't get paid. I'm part time and not earning enough to pay an insurance stamp. Crazy. I asked once if I could pay one even though I don't have to and was told no.
Hope all goes well for Pete tomorrow and it won't be long till he's feeling like a new man :-)
