General Chat

Hi everyone

Welcome back Marilyn pleased you enjoyed your holiday. My dad went on a couple of cruises, he went on one to the Baltic with Saga, he said it was full of old people which made me laugh cos he wasn't a spring chicken himself lol, he said all they wanted to do was play whist and bingo!

hope everyone had a good weekend mines been quiet OH was working, a friend came round this afternoon for a coffee and a chat, her son came with her, he's 13 and has ADHD but he gets on well with my son, they went to the park with a baseball bat and ball

going to watch Frost at nine, it's the last one.

talk later

Hi Yvonne,we are going to watch the second half off frost as well. It's a shame they are ending the series,as it's always been a good watch.
Now will they kill Jack off I wonder.

Hi Everyone

Just popping in to say goodnight.....cause I'm tired and I have just had a house full.....


See you all tomorrow.

Me...xx

evening all

this house is getting quiter my the mintet lol

all viseter have gone

god i hate visiters

Hi all, not sure I should say Hi to Marilyn if she didn't bring me back a sugar daddy, fed up with toyboys, need to claim off the guarantee for the one I got lol

Sorry there were parts of the cruise you didn't enjoy Marilyn, I couldn't do that could I? I would miss breakfast every day lol

It's going to be difficult when we have to stay at the hotel where o.h's son is getting married, staying the night before so will have to go to bed when o.h. does and he will have been drinking so will snore, then will have to get up and have breakfast and get ready for wedding. I wil probably take some bagels or such to have with coffee in case I do miss brekkie! I think the wedding is at 12.30pm 8 miles from hotel, so I bet I end up having to drive unless the son arranges a minibus for all the guests staying there. Don't know who yet, possibly o.h.'s ex and her partner, his dad and stepmum, two sisters and their partners, maybe we can get a lift with one of the sisters and the other one take his dad so not too many cars to find parking for at the registry office. Then it will be 8 miles back for the reception and we are staying that night too, going back on the Sunday, it's the Bank Holiday w/e in August.

Anyway glad you are home ok Marilyn, how sad for the partner of that lady cruising with you, not to have the opportunity to say goodbye properly to her friend, I suppose it was the cheapest way for the next of kin to deal with the death but so sad, and so very coldhearted to my mind. May the poor old chap rest in peace.

I hate the tipping bit, we had it in Corfu - left some euros for the cleaner but in truth she wasn't that efficient so we didn't feel like leaving much.

I have a mammogram on Friday, so o.h. will have to bike that day whether he wants to or not, as he wouldn't be home before I have to get there.


take care all, especially Rita when you are bathing, can you not get a grant to have a safer bath/shower fitted ? I hope you always let the water out before trying to get out and do you have an alarm that you can reach if, heaven forbid, you fall? Keep a towelling robe close by so you can put that on to preserve your dignity before you try to get out. I have a job sometimes to get out the bath, always have a rubber mat in there and I let the water out, reach for my robe and put it on while swishing the water round to help clean the bath, then step out onto bathmat. If my fm is bad, I kneel in the bath and can manage to get one leg over the side onto the mat and do it that way, means I wouldn't fall so far then.

Back to the old routine now, he is on early shift so I will go up at 5am and sleep all morning, had a lazy weekend anyway, but have to cook all week :>((

Hugs to all
Lizxxx

Morning all and sleep well Liz
Offf for a walk to the village this morning. I have to go to the bank and Hubby is at work already.
Managed a couple more cross stitch names last night.

Have a good day everyone will be back later

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Liz ,
Just missed you by a couple of hours....I couldn't sleep.

Liz you might as well have that wedding on Camcorder !! and watch it from your hotel room .....Saves all that traveling. & arrangements & at least you will be able to catch up on your sleep while HE goes to the wedding. LOL
Then you will be nice and snug & not a hair out of place for the reception !
See Liz there is always a way around it.....

Going back to the death on board he died whilst his partner was in the cabin he had asked for nail clippers as was going to cut his nails whilst she was in the toilet ready to go down for dinner,but she heard an almighty bag and found him slumped on the settee unconscious and tried to give him resuscitation and rang the emergency number on the phone .when the Doctors came within 3 mins and pronounced him dead.
So the decision was to contact his nephew by Email from the ship (as he had no children) and it was his nephew that decided to have him cremated
and arranged for his ashes to be sent home.
The Police came on board took photos and was satisfied that it was a heart attack via the doctors report.
So we had to carry on with this poor woman that came with him and went home without him !!

Now today I have visitors, ....I think Shelly had sent her lot to me !!

Linda you seem to be so busy with that wedding of yours ,you wont know yourself when its all over

So going to get some ironing done.........

Morning All.

Sun is shinning and it is not cold sure sign that the Easter Weekend is finished,
I did'nt do much over the wekend. nearly finished doing my jig-saw puzzel. just got to find the little hedghogs and rabbits in the grassy bit then that it..

My son is off to France this coming weekend for his fishing weeks holiday he goes out there three tmes a year. he and the owner of the lake have become good friends.
My sister is coming for the day today, it takes her a couple of hours by bus train and bus so she will be here about 11. 0'clock. she leaves around 6.30. I have not seen her since I stayed with her a few weeks back., I told her I have not been out to buy any food but have some here that will be suitable for our dinner and tea.
she told me not too worry she will get something on her way.

The district nurse is due this morning as well to take some blood samples as the doctor wants to find out why my knee and foot keep swelling and giving me so much pain .

see you all later

Rita

Morning everyone, we've got really strong winds here - it's cold as well, I'm dreading going out in it. My car insurance runs out tomorrow, so I need to get it sorted today.

Liz will be going to bed at the same time as I get up each day. Mind you, I don't have time to put my lappy on until after my son goes out.

Rita, that's quite a journey for your sister, have you never thought of moving closer to each other? Will she be staying with you for a few days or going back home later today?

Marilyn, it must have been a terrible shock for the poor woman, I feel sorry for her.

I've got a pile of ironing to do as well but I've got to go out soon, pity Sue didn't live a bit nearer, I could send it to her.

Yvonne, my hubby was working the weekend as well, he had yesterday off but it was too cold and wet to go out so we just sat and watched DVDs all day.

My hubby's like Shelly, he hates visitors - so I have to hope nobody calls round when he's off work. He doesn't mind people coming if they've been invited, he just doesn't like people to drop in without letting us know first.

Linda, I hope we're going to get photos of you all dressed up in your 'Mother of the Bride' outfit.

I wondered what the strange noise was last night, it was Mo's singing!! It sounded nearly as bad as mine.

shoping can wait till another day

hi pauline

My sister would not move she lives near Hampstead Heath lovely houses a lot of famous people live there but she likes it she can get to the city in a few moment. I could not afford to move there I would need something like £600.000.
She didnt come she phoned at 9 to say she had been ill all night long didnt know what it was, she thought it might have been the rich food she had on Easter Sunday or Monday she was in bed, said she tried to get up but fell all over the place. I feel awful as I cannot get to her and she is on her own.

Also the district nurse failed to turn up for the sample of my blood for tests so I dont know what happned to her. so it has been a bit of a disaster of a day.

The old fellow up stairs went and got some shopping for me I told him only to get the potatos 2 lbs and some fruit .he took his trolley then my friend came to see what shopping I needed so she got the rest for me.
so I was lucky there. I have to take a perscription to the doctors as I am running out of my steriords and eye drops. so I hope I will be able to walk across and get them on Thursday. I am feeling a lot better and my knee is not so painful now.

Rita

Hello girls.
I had to go to the doctors this morning. I have had a real awful weekend.
I phoned the surgery at 8.20 this morning,and she asked me if I could be there at 9.40,well that was a no no,as I had only just got up. So I went at 9.50,and guess what I have got Bronchitus. So I have got horse sized tablets to take three times a day. Oh to feel well again,I am fed up off this.
I went and did a bit off clearing up in the garden. It was so lovely and sunny out there,and no wind. But now I feel cream crackered,so I am going to have forty winks.
Speak to you later.

Hi Mo,

Thats awful Bronchitis I have had that a few years back, I suffered for weeks before I ended up at the Doctors ....never again, so I'm glad you went today.
Hope you get better Mo.
Housework can wait ...get yourself strong I found its the cough that hurts mostly .

Shelly do you need help in choosing your certs....I got nothing to do tomorrow ?
Just give me something to do .....but not the Barbers..LOL

Pauline I got one of them hubby's that only want visitors when he is ready for them, why are they like that ?....fuss pots.LOL

Rita you will need a toy boy and a rich one at that to buy a house near your sister, I'll look out for one from now on . !!

Getting ready for my Birthday party for my Dad, so must go and doll me self up a bit.....

I phoned doctors asked if they had got the date mixed up or had ? I was told that the district nurse was due to call this morning . to take some blood for special tests.
she checked her date book and said she had not got it down there but she would check the doctors private book and it was on there listing why it had to be done and what tests are needed. she is calling tomorrow. she said she was sorry but she didnt think to look in the doctors private book. ( I am not a private patient )t is book he carries around with him.)

l telephoned my sister still in bed she had got up and had a glass of lemonade felt giddy and got back in bed. did say she felt a little better.

I am having trouible with my typing if I make a mistake I backspace and correct and the word infront dissappears I hit the ins key but it makes no difference I have to go b ack and start from scratch any idea why thiis is happening. ?

Rita

Marilyn
That price is the cost of a flat the houses are three times that amount..

Rita

Rita

I was most amused to see Mr Brown going to see the queen in his car a few minutes walk along the road. then seeing him standing outside number ten with his staff.

It will be something new anyway these fighting for their jobs lol after all that rubibsh we had on the Tv over the Easter Weekend one channel had all the "Carry on films " and there were nothing but repeat films on .
My sister was upset as she said she pays a lot for her TV licence and gets nothing in return..

where is everyone this evening ? all sitting down having a feast ?.
Rita

I'm just about to go in the bath Rita, just having a quick look on here before I go.

I think you must have pressed the over-type key on your key board by mistake. Did you press the 'shift' key at the same time as you pressed 'ins'? If you just pressed the 'ins' key on it's own, it might not put it right - try using the shift key as well. Really it should have worked just using the 'ins' key.

Shelly, that must have been a bit of a shock for that poor man, good job he had his phone on him.

Sorry to hear you aren't well Mo, no wonder your singing was bad if you had bronchitis.

You shouldn't have been working in the garden, you need to rest so you can fight the infection off.

Is the party tonight Marilyn? A bit late to tell us about it now, we'll never get there in time.
