Morning friendlies,
Stephen you have changed shape somewhat :-D. Too muscly now :-(
Linda, I hope your parents are both alright and you will be able to get them both settled into a good home where they will have round the clock care.
George sounds like you've been very busy, hope the shed goes up as planned.
Rita please be careful with some of those jobs.
I've forgotten most of what I read now, sorry all.
Had a great holiday and although we did a fair bit of work at my mother-in-laws enjoyed it all and feel relaxed and rested. I missed all my grandchildren though and was mobbed for cuddles when I got back :-D :-D.

One bit of news I came back to I could have done without. At my daughters 21st party on the 9th September our eldest granddaughter hurt her finger while in the playroom at the hotel. The next day it was very swollen and she was in a lot of pain so her mum took her to the surgery where the doctor said it was probably not broken and sent her home. 2 weeks later still very swollen and painful so back she went and saw another doctor who arranged a fast track xray. Well it was definitely broken and the break was caused by a large benign tumour (Enchondroma) in her knuckle so she is now attending the fracture clinic, and at her next appointment on 10th November they will decide whether she needs surgery or not. I must admit I am not happy with the first doctor she saw.

Cath xx

Cath,

Nice to see you back......to be sure...to be sure :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

It's nice to have a good break and feel refreshed.

What a bummer about your Grand-daughters 'break' though. Questions need to be asked.......and answered :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

Catch you later :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stephen it's nice to be back on the friendly thread :-D :-D
My granddaughter is still in pain and the swelling is still there. Poor little mite can't write properly or do PE and Games at school. I hate it when the little ones are hurting, it brings a big lump to my throat. It's her 10th birthday next sunday so hopefully that might distract her a little. I might just have to spoil her :-D

Cath I am pleased you enjoyed your holiday.
I was sorry to hear about your Grandaughters finger I hope you put in a written complaint to let them know.
I hope she gets on Ok with the facture and dose not have to have anymore treamtent. trouble these days is that so many doctors are busy some dont bother to go into things deeply.
Hi Stephen I always use small step ladders when I have to climb with a bar at the top to hold on too.the trouble is one of the windows I have to reach is behind my TV and I cannot move the TV so have to stretch to get to the curtain rod.
I think I like the man in the kilt best is he on holiday ?????????
hope you have a good weekend and you get decent weather. when I looked out the window this morning all the cars had white roofs. yet it didnt seem that cold to me. ?

Today 22 years ago I lost my husband John, time has gone by so quickly. I still recall that terrible morning when I lost him.

Rita

Morning All,

Stevey ....Ughh..... that's a turn off for me I never was into muscle' y men I prefer a nice physique on a man or a slim one ........SO change it .... :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Hi all.

Yesterday I was busy looking for houses for my cousin because he's sold his house in France and he's coming home....... after 30 years. He doesn't even know what the areas are like now so I had to write a list of nice areas and what houses were available.

A sad day for you Rita but I know you'll have lots of good memories of John.

Cath, that's awful about your granddaughter. Poor little soul must have been in terrible pain. I'd be really annoyed about the first doctor as well, just as well the tumour was benign. I hope they do something to stop it from getting any worse. :-|

Stephen, I don't like that avatar, it's horrible........... the little green man was better.

LOL at Shelly's avatar.

Morning all
Just playing a waiting game now with my parents, seeing if their social worker will agree , as she originally did, with their care mananger !!! She is only at work on Monday then away for 2-3 weeks. Clever eh. The care manager said they both need nursing homes with care and dementia care too for Mum. But the socail woker now says they only need a residential home (as it's cheaper), but Mum is in a residential home now and they have to have nurses come in 2 to 3 times a day to test her sugar levels and giove her the right dose of insulin !! Try to work that one out eh?

Nice Indian meal last night with friends.

Today going to stay at friends after they have cooked us a meal, so hubby can enjoy more than one glass of wine with his meal.

Tomorrow is a 40th celebration meal out again.

Monday is our dil birthday with a chinese at home, I am telling her she has to cook it herself as we have bought her a wok LOL

I'll check in with any updates as soon as I can. Thank you all for your kind wishes for my parents .

I hope everyone is well and enjoying the pleasant weather

Linda :-)

Thank you Pauline. it seems strange but my mind kept going back to the mid 1970's this morning we had CB radio's ( Idont suppose many have heard of them or used them ?)

But we had Handles (Nicknames ) mine was fruit cake. not because I was unstable but I baked lots of wedding cakes. my husband was named Big Apple and one of my sons was Scarecrow (see how we were in those days)
I had my CB t all set up in my kitchen and I was on standby if someone asked for a certain place they wanted to get too you gave them directions. you might give out 10.42 Traffic Accident on the Hanger Lane Round about.. I must have been mad. Breaker Breaker ment Any Taker. ?(someone to talk too. )
Or you would hear Smokey bear in brown wrapper meaning police car unmarked.
It all came back to me this morning when I was thinking of my husband it was a hobby and he loved it.
.
I have been to the shops and paid my paper bill I am now going to get some dinner ready. not sure what I want.?
Rita

One of my cousins used to do that with the CB radio Rita, he was really in to it.

Linda, that's typical, if it saves money they'll do it that way. I think you should stick to your guns and insist they both need nursing care. If they decided later that one of them really needed nursing care, it would mean they would end up in different homes. It would be much better to fight for it now and get them both into the same place. I hope you get it sorted.

Hello All,

This is my Gr.Gr.Gr.Gr.Gr. Grandfather Rob Roy McBarr.

He was famous for telling Tall Tales. ROFL :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Seemingly the defective Gene has remained in the family. :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

But it obviously missed me out ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

He had a great passion for climbing trees and using a telescope. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I think that gene might have been passed on :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stephen you have some of your family habits with telescopes etc etc.

I do like a man in in uniform.


George if you get your clean clothes out I will scrub your overalls for you, after all that painting you have been doing. you cannot go to the pub in dirty overalls.
and dont walk that mud through the house when your building you shed. lol

I watched Captain Hornblower this afternoon, you will not beleive this
I am sure. I got married in 1951 the year that film came out . and we were in Ramsgate on a weeks holiday it was pouring of rain so we went into the cinema and that was what we saw.

brought back all those memories.

Rita.

Evening all,

Rita, LOL, I am one of those men who know how to use a washing machine.....LOL. unlike the old boy who takes his to the laundry.....

I did well today, finished all the framing, so tomorrow only have to face it and felt the roof to make it watertight.
In the week if the weather is good I will paint it and insulate it as well.
Saved a whole bunch of money building it from scratch :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Stephen, are you sure his name wasn't Tom of the peeping kind :-D :-D :-D :-D
Hi Linda and Pauline.

George :-) :-)
