Linda :o) XxX

Susan I am so sad to hear the news about our Jean. she must be feeling really down at this moment God Bless.her. Please give her my love.thank you for letting us know.

Shelly I will try that I think I must have not had enough cold water when I did mine and it was all thick lumpy no I didnt use it it was like wallpaper paste Ug.
funny thing was after I posted about the Gravy I scrolled through and found one of Marilyn threads on Oxo. wasnt that starnge.?

I only used Baby Wool Marilyn when ever I knitted for the babies I didnt use anything else until they were about four years old..

I was disappointed in last nights WDYTYA only because they only did his Grandfather and I would have liked to have seen his Grandfather parents.so he only went one step up his tree.otherwise it was a moving story and must have come as a shock to him.


I logged on so I could wish my son Michael a Happy Birthday he is 56 today but he is on call (Paramedic. )


see you later.

Love
Rita

Morning All,

Its grey dark & winter' y ............

Haven't got nothing to do today, so i'll just sit by lappy and think of who I can add to my tree .....

Hope everyone else has a better weather forecast than Devon, makes me want to go off on holiday.

Went out yesterday and was flabbergasted at all the Christmas decs that's in the shops , our garden center had 3 of artificial trees all dressed up with lights and decs ......that's stupid still SEPTEMBER !!!!!!!!!!


Good luck Rita ~~~~~~~

Good luck rita for today xx

im sitting here thinking that my office LOL office is my computer aera
need a good clean and salt out every think is in a mess and i carnt get to eny think so think i may do that to day

weather is not so good here as well doll and dingy

It's been dark and wet here all morning but it seems to be getting brighter, well, the rain's stopped. My God, I think that's the sun coming out! Wonder if I dare put the washing on the line before I go out.

Hope it's good news today Rita, I'll be thinking of you.

I'm still thinking of Jean as well, she must be devastated.

The shops round here don't have any Christmas decorations up yet but I saw someone putting lights around their house last week.

Shelly, I don't like tinned tomatoes so I can't try your concoction.

well the first bit is over I had the warfarin done.( do you know the nurse called out three names for blood test and they did not turn up. I thought that was very bad they could have phoned and let the surgery no.)

Carol my Vampire nurse is a lovely person. I asked had my results from last week come back ? she checked and said " yes the doctor seems well pleased." the Colestrial was fine. The Blood count, the thryoixn was also fine and The PMR
The water sample was back to normal so I was pleased to hear all this. now I have to have the scan results but dont get that till 3.20 when my appointment is at St Lukes Cancer hospital.in Guildford.
The Nurse at the Desk t called out to me " how on earth did you manage to walk out of here last week with all that blood taken" I said I am getting use to it now. I will go home have a cup of tea or coffee and sit down for a little while.people in the surgery all laughed. I think they are all getting use to me now.

Rita

Well done Rita !!!!

Good news all round then.....I think you deserve a little whiskey in that
coffee LOL


I have my friend coming for coffee she is a bit fed up with this weather so we are all fed up ......might have a Fed-Up lunch party ..LOL

I will let you know the results from the cancer scan later when I get back.


Rita

How am I going to type this with my fingers crossed for Rita.
Please god let it be a good outcome for her, as she certainly deserves it.

I do hope our Jean is bearing up. Just to let you know we are thinking and praying for you love.

Well girls, it looks like the lot of us are suffering from the blues. This flippin weather is getting us all down.
What we need is cheering up. Come back Stephen we need another break away. LOL

Hello friends, thank you for all your good wishes and kind thoughts.
I do hope you are all ok,
Rita, was so glad to read your good news, hope your scan results are as good.
Haven't done very much today, but will get everywhere tidied tomorrow.
Have to put yesterday behind me and get on with life, I have my scan on my breasts next Monday and start another course of treatment on my back while I'm there.
Take care and stay safe,
Jean xx

Jean lovely to hear from you. I do hope things go better for you.

I had the results of my scan Stable no change so that was good. I have to go back in two months time to see them.I dont have to have a scan done then. If I get any pains I have to phone them.

I feel so relived I am going to find something to eat now.

Thank you all for your good wishes I do appreciate it.

Love Rita

Hi Jean......you brave lady ...

Lovely to see you pop in......leave everything untidy Jean, no one is going to see it , I cant anyway ...LOL


I have been out and bought some more bulbs for the garden....blimey I think I will have the best garden on Friendly next year, I'll make sure I'll take some photo's to prove all my hard work !

Eating my dinner in 5mins I have made my Pete's Favorite dinner (his mother used to make it ) but mine is better ...LOL

Its Turkey fricassee ......normally with mini roast potatoes but I did new Potatoes & peas....... easier !!

That's good news Rita, everything seems to be going fine for you at the moment. Let's hope it stays that way and you continue to do well.

Jean, you're going to have to be very strong to start your treatment all over again but I pray that it works for you this time. And we'll all have to sit with everything crossed for your scan on Monday. You deserve some better luck - you must be due for some good luck now.

Marilyn how was your fricassee?

Hi Pauline ,

That fricassee was brilliant !! Its the home made white sauce with mustard and plenty of black pepper that I make it.....

Pete had a smile on his chops !! LOL

well we had susage mash and beans for dinner


iv been reading a book tonite its called Honey's Farm

Morning Folks
Well looks a lot calmer here this morning. Lots of rain yesterday afternoon and evening.
Went out with friends into Hampshire yesterday, had lunch in a lovely pub that we have been to before. I had Teriyaki Salmon. Griddled salmon on noodles and stir fry veg.
The coughing is getting me down, but will pass in its own time, as it always does.
Have the girls today and my son and DIL coming for dinner tonight, probably with the spaniel too. Hubby is off so should be OK. He'll probably go for a bike ride, give him some time on his own too.
Really glad to read the news Rita, onwards and upwards.
Hoping that Jean is feeling a bit better and that the next scan is hopeful.

Have a good day

Linda :o) XxX

Morning Linda and all the other friends I have on here.

I am pleased to say we have lovely sinshine and it is not cold. it makes you want to smile when you get sun like this shine through the windows.

I do hope Jean is feeling a bit better today. I think of you Jean all the time and wish you all the very best.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Rita

Morning all, it's not nice here Rita, no sunshine, just cold wind.

I thought the doctor had given you something for the coughing Linda. Is there nothing you can get from the chemist to calm it down?

I've never heard of that book Shelly, is it any good?

Don't try to do any housework today Jean, you deserve to just sit and rest with your feet up.

Mo, I think Stephen has deserted us, he was last seen by Rita, she said he went off with a young blonde wearing a short skirt. The blonde was wearing the short skirt - not Stephen, he didn't have his kilt on that day.

Marilyn, are you up yet?

Hi Everyone,

Yes been up ages ......LOL

I have had phone calls non stop......and Pete is in the garden putting up my new pergola .....and has not stopped calling for my help in holding this piece of wood and that piece of wood .....stopping ME from my normal things in life ..LOL

Linda go get some covonia cough mixture for chesty cough's its brilliant my doctor recommend it.

I recon we ought to put a search party out for Stephen put some fun back into our lives ....LOL

Opps got to make my lovely hubby a coffee now he's calling !!!
