Morning folks,
I hope everyone had a peaceful night.
Sun is out, skies are blue and it's not blowing a gale. It better stay like that too as I'm taking my mother to the garden centre this morning.
Stephen I hope Madge is as comfortable as can be expected. They say hearing is the last sense to leave us so I'm sure she will be expecting plenty of cheek from you.
Jean I hope little Scarlett will soon be well again, it's awful when little ones are not themselves.
Marilyn what on earth are you still using an electric blanket for? :S
Enjoy your day

Cath xx

Pouring down and the wind is picking up to a fairly strong blow. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

We are suppose to get the muck tomorrow according to the TV this morning.

She must have swaddled me in blankets when I was a baby.... I got cold BLOOD but a WARM <3...!
My twin sister is just the opposite and sleeps with just a sheet :S... but Pete has to suffer just a teeny weeny bit , but I go in first to bed then give him 10min its not so hot for him ......by then I'm roasting very well ! LOL

NOTHING will ever be exchanged for my blanky :P

Stephen
At Least your Mum pointed you in the right direction, she could have pointed in a different direction then you would have had cause to worry.

For Marilyn I suggest a fur lined sleeping bag. it will be better for Pete and save on her electric bill she will have money to spend on clothes. LOL

Morning Everyone
Thanks for my porridge Jean. Hope Scarlett is better today.
Little M is seeing her Dr this morning, Mum thinks she has thrush in her mouth so it needs seeing and treatment before they leave the country.
Enjoy North Devon Marilyn, hope Pete is getting better and the change of air does you both good.
All ironing finished this morning vacuumed through before little comes.
Sun is shining, but quite breezy.
Hope it's not too bad in Scotland Stephen. Our guide has another tour arriving today, doesn't look like they will have such good weather as we did.
But we are rolling towards another Bank Holiday as Pat said and the weather usually changes for that. Think we are now having March winds and April showers now. Still the old saying was "ner cast a clout til May is out " !!
Well done on the smoking Shelly, you are doing really well and love that you say you now have a non smoking house, keep it up. Did your daughter suceed too?

Have a good day everyone

Linda :-) <3

Good morning everyone in friendly thread land, I will have the toast and honey please Jean, and a couple of sausages, I will keep those and have them cold for lunch.
I hope you find Madge comfortable today Stephen, she is a fighter, she is hanging on.
Has your mum been watching the chelsea flower show cath, it gave me loads of idea's yesterday, but as we are soon putting our bungalow on the market, I will have to keep the ideas for the next home.
If we do get the volcano cloud Rita, then planes will be grounded and we get to keep president Obama, just think of the chaos that will cause.
Have a good trip Marilyn, and I always wear a cardigan in bed, I wake up half way through the night boiling hot.
Hope everyone who has been unwell or whose loved ones are unwell soon recover, I am dreading my syringing on wednesday, but I will b a brave girl.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

No way Agatha they will find a way to get him back to the USA. whether it is by Submamrine or flying off in a differnt direction. Heathrow has said they learned lesson last time and the planes can now fly through it.

Mind you Stephen might lend him his broom stick it flys higher and faster than mine.

Morning all, we've got the gales here........... I was nearly blown away when I went out earlier. It's getting stronger all the time and I have to go out in it again this afternoon.

Jean, I hope Scarlett is feeling better now, it's awful when little ones are ill, they don't understand what it's all about.

Poor K must be really fed up Maddie, I think physio might aggravate his knees even more........ it did with mine. My friend had her knees cleaned out but it didn't make any difference. I think the knees are always the first to go, we put so much pressure on them with sports and things.

Hope you enjoy your little holiday Marilyn, sounds like Pete it doing fine now.

Well done Shelly, hope you do as well with your diet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone.

I am back from the hospital I got there at 11.30 and was out there at 12.30 I have never been that fast before I had all the tests done. he told me my blood preesure was up. I said I know that.my eyes are not focusing correctly.
The eye pressure was fine I dont have to go back for 9 months the day after my birthday. I told them you have done this so I bring in a piece of my birthday cake. they said too true.
I wait for the letter now to see if what he said was true I want to see it in writing. Lol

Stephen I found out a bit more about the Submarine my cousin was on when it was torpedoed and he was mentioned in Dispatches it was called HMS Saracen and was an S class. it had a good record.
It went down off the coast of Italy.
