	I came across some funny bumpers in my file this morning thought some might give you a laugh. IF I HAD KNOWN GRANDKIDS WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM FIRST. CONSCIOUSNESS THATS ANNOYING TIME BETWEEN NAPS. EVER STOP TO THINK AND FORGET TO START AGAIN. AVENGE YOURSELF LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BE A PROBLEM TO YOUR KIDS. Rita

	Yvonne nice to see you are back, glad you had a good holiday. it makes you feel good when you enjoy yourself and get back to the normal routine. it does come hard though when you have to do things for yourself instead of having someone do it for you. Love Rita

	Hi all, just had a quick read of the thread. Welcome back Yvonne, hope you had a great holiday. Those bumper stickers are good Rita, made me LOL Liz made me PMSL with her description of her OH.........fat with short legs and arms. I get the feeling it wasn't a physical attraction!! Mo, I did work all day in the garden yesterday and I'm shattered.........I wasn't sitting in it Rita, too much work to do in it. We've been busy putting all the stuff back in the loft today.

	hi having a lazy afternoon, oh and son have gone to fil to take him shopping so its just me and the dog New York was very hot and humid, been before in the spring, much nicer. San Francisco was great, went to all the usual places and rode on the cable cars, Alcatraz was very interesting. Toronto was hot and humid too, went up CN tower and went to Toronto Islands on the ferry, and we went to Niagra Falls which was amazing. x

	Oh I would love to see Niagra Falls Yvonne, It's one of the places I really want to go to. My nephew took some photos of it for me but it's not the same as being there.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Hello all. Good to have you back Yvonne. It sounds like you all had a brilliant time. With you and Rita away on holiday, it was very quiet here. Shelly was up Marilyns tree for days,so much so she got woodworm in her barnet fair. Linda has been out gallivanting so often, that her neighbours ask who she is when they see her. Liz is still having problems with Mr Cheerful. Marilyn has had the company of her lovely sister,in between climbing trees with Shelly. The only sane one on here was our Jean. Oooops forgot about myself,but I am never sane, I must be the biggest nutter on here. I have got my brother staying with me for a couple of weeks. He arrived this morning. He and his OH are having a few problems,so a couple of weeks to sort their heads out, will do them both good. The only problem was, that we had not quite finished decorating the spare bedroom out. So we have just tidied it up,put the clean curtains up,and put clean bedding on. So he will have to rough it a bit, till it is finished.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Sorry Pauline, you have been such a good girl,and quiet with it, that I missed you love. I am so shocked,we have just got back from the PDSA. My poor cat whose 17 years old,was not very well. She was fine up to dinner time,and then she vanished. When we found her huddled under the BBQ,howling we phoned the vets,and took her straight up there. They rushed her into care,and when the vet spoke to us,she said she had had a shock, and that she had had a heart attack, and that she also had a cancerous lump in her abdomen. We could not believe it,we had not felt any lumps,but she said it was high up in the stomache,and we would not have felt it. She said that they had meds to get her over the heart problem, but nothing could be done about the cancer. So we had to opt for her being put to sleep. We could not put her through it all,not at her age. Sorry for being so morose girls, but felt I had to talk to someone about it.

	Hello everyone, hope you had a good wekend. Mo am so sorry to read about your cat, it must have been very hard to make that decision, but you did what was right for her. I have had a very lazy weekend, but back to the treatment tomorrow. Haven't seen my baby grandaughter this weekend, my son and his partner have had a disagreement so she hasn't brought baby round. Off to have a shower now. Good night, God bless. Take care. Jean xx

	Morning Ladies. I notice you have all got yourself planned in for the day in one thing or another ? hope whereever you are going or doing it goes well for you. Jean good luck on your day as well I know how you must feel just want to get it over with. Mo sorry to hear about your old pussy cat mine died years ago she had cancer lumps all over her he name was Queenie I often look at her photos and think what a lovely cat she had been.she was a birthday presnet from my Dads sister to me A friend phoned me last night she olnly lives five door along and asked me if I would like to go on hoiliday with her in September someone she was going with cannot go it is a coach holiday and is to Norwich they go out everyday. I said I had been to all the places living in Norfolk 22 years so it would not have been a holiday for me. if I want a holiday in Norfolk My friends would be most annoyed if I went to a Hotel and not to them. I also said I have a scan on 3rd so dont know what the outcome of that will be whether I have to start treatemnt again or not? then I have blood test for my PMR and INR tests so it will be that waiting game for me. very coudy here and humid I wonder if we have rain. Rita
