Im back just had a break!
ive only read a few pages but TOILETS seem to be the topic! lol

Morning Sue and all others
Off to Dr soon

Will update later, but I am getting better

Linda :o) XxX

Morning all, I'm rushing out soon.

Welcome back Sue, and just where do you think you've been?

Well back from seeing the diabetic nurse. I gained 1lb over my holiday, she was OK with that . Now the hard grind to get down a bit before the wedding.
The x ray was greatly improved yesterday and the consultant said the sarcodosis is gone !!!! My lung capacity is back up to more than 90% from 80%. So that should make breathing better. I still have a wheeze so he is now double checking that I might have asthma. At least he is not letting it go until he finds out what is going on. I have to go back in 4 weeks.

Off to clear the front garden now before the weather changes.

Hope you are all OK

Wishing you a better day today Rita

Linda :o) XxX

rita

Boo Hoo,we lost last night girls,no trophy for me this year. Still it would only be something else to dust anyway.
Did you manage to sleep alright Rita,with your knee hurting you like that.
FANNY BORSKIN ,FANNY BORSKIN. Now Shelly, the poor woman had to live her life with a handle like that. Don't forget,way back then,they didn't have warped minds like we have now. I wonder what her married name turned out to be,as long as it was not Bush.
Where you been hiding Sue.
Sounds like good news for you Linda. I am pleased for you.
Rita,it could be either me or Shelly,that could have said piggin out.

Pauline I checked the people on my contact list and found two that I had not given permission too they were way back though I crossed them off.

Mo sorry to hear about your darts still you cannot win them all you seem to do pretty well.
I was going to say for an olden but changed my mind lol.

I slept on and off last night took quiet a few pain killers I think it might be my arthrtis playing up as it was burning like mad in my knee this morning it went for a while so I am taking it easy. I managed to go out to the shop.
to morrow I have the washing as I missed Monday's due to the hospital. appointment so I have two loads to do.
so I hope my knee is Ok by then.

Shelly you are taking the mickey out of me I have Barber not blood related.in family as well my Dads sister lda married a Butler and his mother was a sarah Barber.

rita

Well Shelly, I bet she was glad her surname started with a B and not an F.

Linda, that's good going, only gaining 1lb during your holidays. Glad to hear your x-ray was better this time, you might be back to 100% by the wedding.

Rita, I checked my contacts and they all seemed to be OK, nothing had changed. You had better keep an eye on yours for a while, just to make sure there are no more getting access without your permission.

Aww MO, sorry you didn't win last night. Maybe you'll get first place next year.

I nearly forgot to tell you.......my car wouldn't move out of the garage this morning, it started up OK but it just wouldn't move - it felt like the brakes were on. I got the AA man out and he found the spring (above the front wheel) had snapped. I hadn't noticed the front of the car had dropped and was resting on the wheel - that's why it wouldn't move. We had to take it to a garage to get it repaired because it was just out of warranty.

The AA man was lovely, he went into the garage with me to make sure they weren't going to overcharge me. He told them there was nothing else wrong with it and asked them how much the parts were. Then he took me to the shopping centre where I was going to meet friends for coffee.

Pauline you little hussy,going off with the AA man.Why didn't you ask him to join you for a coffee.
How lucky were you,that the car did not move from the garage. Just think it could have happened whilst you were driving the car.
Once again these things always happen when the guarantee has just run out.

LOL Mo, if I wasn't married I would have asked him to join us, he was a bit of a dish.

The AA man and the mechanic both told me if I'd been driving when it happened it would have taken the wheel out, and caused a serious (possibly fatal) accident. Someone was watching over me, keeping me safe.

Pauline your guardian angel must have been sitting on your shoulder,thank god.

Well I hope she/he/it continues to sit there for a long time Mo.......lol

I'm going for my bath now before we have dinner.

Catch you later.

I have bee reading "The House of Elliott " can you recall that series that was on TV years ago. ? I still enjoy reading this book as it brings it all back to life , I use to like that series,
I watched East Enders this evening will anything happen in that programme to make peoples lives happy again. next week Jack gets shot, they have Phil fighting for his daughter to remain with him. Luke who killed and buried a man. and Stacey vanishing and lucy having an aborstion what next I wonder.

tomorrow I would have been celebrating 59 years of married life my husband died in 1989 in Norfolk while we lived there.l have no grave to visit or book to sign so I feel rather sad about that. I often wondered where I would be living now if he had not died.he was only 62.

Rita

Rita I will be thinking off you tommorrow.
Remember the good times you both shared. I hope that you have company,to help you through the sad day.
Love Mo xxx

Rita, I am sorry you have had such a long time without your husband by your side. I hope you will be able to remember happy times and your Wedding day as you acknowledge your Anniversary date and I am sure your husband will be looking down on you and sending a lot of love to you.

Is he buried here in Norfolk? it must have been a really sad time for you and him so young too.

We never know where our lives will lead us and when things happen to our loved ones, it changes life for ever.

Will be thinking about you love

Lizxxx

Thank you Mo and Liz. I am on my own today but get emails from the Kids later on.
Liz he was cremated at Gt Yarmouth in October. he wanted his ashes put in a hole along the clift top beneath where he use to sit fishing. my sons did that. I use to walk there with our dog and speak to him for years I did that (we use to say where we wanted to go when we evently died )but he and I never expected it to be so soon. He died of a massive heart attack when we were out driving in the wilds of Marthan.
The strange thing was we had a terrible storm some years later and the whole of that cliff fell into the sea . so I didnt even have him to talk to. My mother in law by then had moved back to Scotland and she added an inscription on his fathers gravestone with his name and dates. so I feel he is there with his Dad
I use to think well John loved swimming was the army champion in the war years he had such a good senses of houmour he would have seen the funny side of that.

Rita

How strange is this I looked at the number of replies on this thread and they read 11951 I got married March 24th 1951.

isnt that strange.

Rita

Good Morning Rita
I too will think of you through today. He was too young to go, wasn't he. But he wasn't left disabled, which you both would have hated. And you must have many happy memories,remember the good times.
I celebrate my 37th Anniversary this year, not many can say that amongst the younger ones nowadays. Been through a lot too at times.

Hoping it remains dry for a while as I need to walk to the post box. Have the little one so it gets us out in the fresh air.

Have a good day everyone Linda :o) XxX

Thank you Linda.
I had my ups and downs as well through our life nothing comes easy thats good does it. ? we struggled when we first got married we also were on a council housing list 18.683 on the list like that for five years and we still didnt get a place from the council
I look at TV and read the news papers people moan about the council housing list as though they were the only ones I can tell them we young people didnt get the chance either even when men came out of the forces they had to wait..people complain about having small rooms and many sleeping in the same room we would have been grateful for small rooms then and would have waited to have more children .
I had a good husband and thank god I did he was always considerate we always talked things through before we brought anything or changed jobs etc, we never got into debt if we didnt have the money we didnt buy we saved till we had the money often buying second hand items till we could afford new,.but then money was not about then like today.

Rita

Rita,my thoughts are with you today. What a coincidence about the thread
number. It must be a good omen.
Linda you are right about marriages not lasting these days,with the younger generation. I believe it is to easy for them to get fed up,and go for a divorce. Where as our generation worked at it. I have to admit,it is not always a smooth ride,but you have to be able to talk through any problems that may arrive,and work very hard at it and not walk away.
As with many couples,you never know someone,till you live with them. And thats when a lot off problems can begin,as he leaves the top of off the toothpaste,and doesn't hang his clothes up after himself. She then gets wound up about it,and the arguments start.
I know we have probably all been there,and bought the T/Shirt,but come out the other side,and can laugh about it now.
