Good morning all,

Already been outside....the full moon was reflecting on the clouds....really lovely.

Breakfast ready, Thanks Jean.

Age! Whats this with age?

'Your just as young as you feel, old as you want to be....'

Sprinkle yourself with some Fairy Dust it works wonders.

Once my Pain Killers kick in I feel about 30 years younger.
I need them to see me through the day, life would be hellish without them. A lasting legacy courtesy of HM Government.

Anyway...Anchors aweigh at 07.00hrs tomorrow. All aboard for a wee cruise around the Western Islands of Scotland, with a quick visit to Tir-nan-Og. Don't forget the Fairy Dust. Bikinis are optional!

Have a good day ya all.

Just thought I would let you know I had a phone call from the hospital this morning about my Warfarin blood test. the sister ask me questions was I well had I recovered from my virus ? then she told me they were worried about me as the blood test showed the level far too high. and I must not take the warfarin tablets today. I will get the letter from the hospital today or tomorrow and had to cut the tablets down from five a day to four. I have an early blood test appointment as well. now I am wondering what my PMR will show up will I get a phone call from my Doctors ? I wonder.
so I have three weeks now to see if anything shows up from the scan as well.
life gets a bit hard from time to time.

Hi Rita,

What a worry for you , well at least they are keeping an on you.

Rita you asked about my scan .....the Iodine... well the last time I had one they had to ask permission from the Consultant as its on my records, I dont know what they did whether they reduced it or mixed it with something else , but I had to wait a long time for them to discuss it and made me wait 1 hour after,
just in case any reaction.
But I was OK .
If Iodine is put on my skin it blows it right up ....Big time !!

Now off to have my hair done..~~~~~~~~~~~

Rita

Rita Report 25 Aug 2010 11:49

Marilyn
I have never heard of anyone having a reaction before your the first.
I have had 8 scans over the last two years and this will be the first time I have felt that ill. so I dont know what it was. whether it was the scan itself or the injection.
It could have been the Warfarin for all I know. I am waiting to see if I get a call from my Doctor at the surgery incase that test was giving trouble as well. it is called "The Waiting Game "
It will be three weeks before I get the scan results.

So you are going to be Posh then having your hair done with highlights ?
dont go out in the rain.
we have had a warning on the radio about expected heavy rain this lunchtime in Surrey. I was going to post some cards off but will leave it till tomorrow.I have to have one special for Arlington America where my Nephew lives.

I am catching up on the DFHS Mag at the moment then I am going to do my dinner
.I finished the washing and it is all dried. I might wash my hair this afternoon and be posh as well.as you.no highlights though .
Be good.

Afternoon everyone
Well it is awful here today. I got up early and was having a quiet day today with no little................ she's at the photographers with her Mum today. Lazed around and did some research, rectifying some infor on my Great Aunts family........................followed the wrong parents of her husband, silly me( sisters fault really !!! )
Just got dressed and there was a ring on the doorbell. It was the Green Thumb man to treat the lawns, I'd forgotten OOPs. Washing was out , one lot dried, then It poured !!! and hasn't stopped since. So a very soggy dark wash is still hanging on the line, well rinsed, but can't bring it in tooo wet.

Off to the newly weds tonight for dinner cooked by her.

Not looking good for the show tomorrow. Soaked fields and marquees with a buggy and limping husband doesn'tsound much like a fun day. Might opt out and stay home.

Linda :O0 XxX

Hi all.
Stephen, we have got one of the play areas for silver surfers down here.
Of course I am to young to go play there, Oooooh I am a little fibber. To be honest I haven't got the energy, or the inclination to go. Don't want to make myself look any stupider than I am.LOL

Rita, I can't believe how they mess you about with your warfarin tablets. I would have thought that they should have regulated it by now.
Keep your chin up love.

Linda, we have had rain all day as well. I have got loads of washing to do tonight. I can't believe that one teenager can use so many clothes over night.
She went shopping with her boyfriend today, got soaked through to the skin, and she has now gone over to his house by bike, in the pouring rain.
Two more outfits to wash and dry, I suppose.
I just hope she doesn't go down with a stinking cold before her mum gets home, from her holiday.

Well Marilyn and Shelly, what do you think of the new old housemates.
How the hell could they have put John Mc Cririk(sp) back in there. Yuk he is a dirty filthy old git, who picks his nose and eats it. Very controversial, with Nasty Nick back in, and moaning minnie Nicki. Poor ol Josie, she has been queen of the house for so long, she will have her nose put out of joint now.

Hello Jean. Between you and Stephen, preparing all the breakfasts, we will soon be putting the weight on.
How are you feeling now? Have they said any more about your treatment.
Keep your chin up love, and kick the bu**er to the kerb.

Hi everybody, just popping in before I fall into a hot bath.

It's been red hot here but it looks like the south of the country had a lot of rain. Sounds like a good idea to call it off for tomorrow Linda, unless you have a dramatic change in the weather.

Before I forget..............Liz said she's so stressed out that she might not be able to post until after the dreaded wedding. Just as well she told me because I've got a load of emails to send on, and she hasn't got the time to read them. Try to stay calm Liz..........or maybe hide in the cupboard until it's over.

Rita and Jean, I'm still thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed for both of you.

Shelly, I don't know how you can be bothered with all that farm game stuff. Mind you, I've never played it, I'm not even a member of the site.

How long have you got your granddaughter staying with you Mo?

Marilyn, have you managed to talk Stephen into lending us that yacht then? I think we all need a break. Hmm, there's a problem though.............I don't like water, it frightens me.

Stephen, hope you don't mind me nicking some of your fairy dust and throwing it around the thread.

I've googled Tir-nan-Og before, can't remember who was talking about it, but I had to google because I'd never heard of it.

Hi Pauline, my grandaughter is here till friday week. Me thinks I will need a holiday after she has gone.
I have just been in her bedroom, and cleared up the wet clothes. More to come when she gets back.
If you don't like the water when we go on Stephens yacht, he will supply you with a Mae West. No not a bra, a life jacket.
