When is she due back? We need to get a move on with the decorating, and if you're helping out YG we need to get it done before the new eye candy returns to do your garden.

What's the plan? Are we going to hide upon her return, as in garden makeover programmes, then jump out when we hear her reaction to the new throne room?

:-D :-D :-D :-D I think we might need to run and hide, CT :-D :-D :-D :-D

We can't do anything with the throne as it is travelling on the roof of the car :-D The walls have been painted (red and white gone forever!) and they are now covered in glitter and some balls of wool from eRRol's coat when he was sheared. :-D :-D :-D

All the Queen posters have been removed, but we need some new pin-ups to put up. Any ideas, musically :-D :-D :-D

I love the glitter! As I said before, she will never be rid of it. I didn't realise that eRRol had made a donation though.

Will have a think about pin ups.

If we are going into hiding, I need to choose a new avatar. Is anyone going to comment on my latest one?!

Morning all –

Well done with the memory tests YG. Not entirely sure that I’d get them all right. My memory is going to pot.

When OH is due for his annual check-up, he has to provide his samples a couple of weeks in advance so that the results are in by the time the appointment comes round. He has to go to the hospital for the bloods; that’s a nuisance! He’s supposed to repeat one of the other samples, but keeps ‘forgetting’. :-|

CT – a friend says she encourages her hubbie to jump up and down in the garden refuse wheelie bin to compress the contents. There’s a job for your’s at the weekend!

YG – hope the new Eye Candy does a good job for you (gardening wise ;-) ). When you do eventually retire, contact your local volunteer bureau as they may be able to find people to help you out for a small fee.

Love the finished decorations. LG will have such a surprise when she returns to the fold! Isn’t her holiday Saturday-Saturday? She might be too tired and overwhelmed by the Littlies and what ever family calamity has happened in her absence to log on tomorrow.

Morning everyone. Plenty of rain here and the garden is loving it!! I'm not, though :-( :-(

A good idea about getting the tests done prior to the appointment, DET. I won't hear anything now unless they pick up a problem. Have been to see gp this morning on recommendation of nurse and she has increased the dose of my blood pressure tablets. It was slightly raised from yesterday's result and she wants it lower, but as I am on a low dose, it doesn't indicate any significant problems. I have to go back in two weeks time for another pressure check and more blood tests. On top of that I also have to go twice to the hospital, once for more eye scans and a separate appointment for the retinopathy scan, all in the same week!!

I hope LG doesn't come back to any more problems. She will be feeling very relaxed and hopefully will stay that way. I don't think it will take her long to carry out an inspection of the throne room :-D :-D

CT, why have you turned your back on us!! You won't hide from LG with that! :-D :-D
I'm currently trying to think of a new board name as well just to make sure that I won't be recognised :-D :-D :-D

LOL - one week back at work, then a couple of days (or half days) off again :-D
You were probably thinking about the gardening eye candy when they took your BP ;-)

OH has his annual retinal scan next week in the mobile van. The first time he went, the waiting area were garden chairs set on the pavement - not very dignified. There must have been grumbles as they are now told to sit in the surgery waiting room.

It's raining here as well YG, or rather it was a short time ago. Certainly too threatening to hang washing out.

The sun has come out to play now and it is very pleasant outside. Just pondering on what to do!! The ironing basket is still looking at me, so I had better tackle that before I go back to work :-( :-(

I really need some new work clothes and shoes but don't want to spend!! :-D :-D :-D I think I will wait until the weather changes and set myself up for winter :-( :-(

Glad you will be finding time to relax Maz!

Hope your next tests will be better YG, I think like Det that the eye candy must have affected you!

I've been out all day - visited daughter and grandchildren, then shopping just to get big bags of dog food, then lunch with an old friend I used to know through work. It's just clouded over now that I'm back home.

I'm not turning my back on anyone on this thread, I was just practising ignoring other threads so I wouldn't be tempted to comment.

If you change your board name can you revert back, or are you likely to get a message that the name has already been used? I was upset at losing my twiddly bits in my name a while back.

Oh my goodness, LG will never recognise you, CT!!!

I know what you mean about the other threads! I am often tempted,but sit on my hands. I can't be doing with all the hassle. I come on here to enjoy myself, not fall out with everyone.

I'm not sure about the board name. Try it and let me know!! :-D :-D

Good for you, Maz. Reading a book :-D :-D :-D Your garden has been ignored and my ironing has been ignored. Aren't we doing well :-D :-D

I can't do what I used to, Maz. I am hoping that after the unmentionable season I can start thinking about part time, if the new management agree to it.

I really have to pace myself now. :-( :-(

What a couple of rebels you are, but you deserve it :-D

CT – are they your eyes peeping out of your avatar, or does our screen need a clean? :-S
From what others have said, if you change your board name, you can’t revert to one you’ve used before.
