Morning All

Jane, I don't have a number for the hospital, the doctor did say, it was up to the hospital to decide weather they would do an endiscope.and they in turn will send me an appointment
I am ringing the doctors this afternoon for results of my recent blood test ,I will also ask them about my white cells.

Wow Shirl, thats just too hot must really be uncomfortable, mind you we here in the UK would love just a little bit of that sun and heat, Scotland has not seen much of a summer this year, beginning of July was ok, but the rain is always not so far away.

Hi Sheila
yes this indigestion is getting me down, though I have changed my diet, no coffee, no chocolate(sob sob) no Ice cream , all low fat foods,
no sauces, (salad,cream ,Tom sauce) Just lots of white meats, fish , pastas, rice. potatoes, no chips. miss going out for lunches with friends & family but have had some nice picnics & BBQ's when the weather has been good,

MIL coming up tonight, so I have only got to clean bathroom, dust and hoover, and to do a bit of cleaning in the kitchen , then I'm done. not too hard to keep tidy when there's just OH & me .

Morning Everyone.
I have been out and done the walk already!.Chris was up just after 5 and I had my first cuppa at 5 20.The sky is wall to wall sunshine so I was up showered and hairwashed by just after 7.Now Chester has had his breakfast and pill. I am off to Tes**to get a few bits just in case ours visitors arrive at lunch time.

Shirl I did hear on the news that many states in the USA were having this terrible heat .I didn't realise it was with you too.I couldn't bear it.
Stay cool girl .

Jane Hi did you have a nice time.I loved the pictures and hope it all went off ok at James graduation.

David so pleased you like the bungalow and are looking forward to moving.Ellen will soon settle down. Nice not to have stairs when you get very old which we all do sooner or later. My mum had a bungalow and when she got ill we were glad not to have stairs.. But I hope you will have good health and be very happy David. You will be in there now .

The weathers been dull but dry but it is so dark everywhere it drives me bonkers.I had to suffer Beryl today most of the afternoon was spent with her telling me about Donnies legs they were a funny shape. Poor Donnie
We played scrabble on the computor Beryl won.Sophia popped round
and my gosh those two did not get on well Sophia said to me I need a bra extender can you buy them on the web. Beryl said I have a large hammock
or a clothes line at home. Sophia hit Beryl with her bag and went off home thankfully. I was a having a giggle but felt sorry for Sophia really but she does stuff herself full of cake .Beryl did not have to be so rude.
I took Beryl home and Donnie was asleep in the chair and Beryl tipped some tea on his head. he jumped up and said Bell why you do that Im all wet now girl. I said my ho would murder me if I tipped tea on his head
and Donnie said dont temp me sheil maybe I will wait until shes in bed and do it. I went and left them to sort it out.
It is her daughters birthday tomorrow Elvira is giving a party and Pandora
asked Beryl to go and sing. I am not going. three of them like Beryl is too much.

FIONA hope you feel better .I have that problem since I have been on the diabetic tablet. I just dont feel like eating a lot. Late at night I get some pain. NITE everyone have a nice evening.

Fiona ,`it's been ages now waiting for that appointment.Maybe you should give a ring and make sure they haven't lost your referral.
Mandy yes ,they were being interviewed.But I don't know who by :-S.We just had Hannah ,James and Jess ready for a photo and suddenly these people pounced on them (with the fluffy brush)lol

Must dish up Dinner now.

Evening everyone,

Thanks for the photo's Jane, James looks very smart and a lovely photo of James and Hannah together , were they being interviewed ?
Lots of people there i should think your hands were sore after all that clapping .
Dear little bunny , i bet they get some strange looks when they walk him !!!

Kim, sounds as if your having some terrible weather , hope you can keep yourself warm .

Mel , has your Phil turned up yet ?

Frank, you selling all your clocks !! have you any Metamec ones ? the factory was here in town , it closed a few years ago now.

Well i expect Pat will be busy packing ,hope the workman have been more reliable today and haven't left you in to much of a mess as you go away .

David will be busy unpacking all his boxes , i hope you will both be happy in your new home David .

Hi All
It's pouring down here, running rivers down the street, glad I brought my washing in was bath mats, still wet , they take ages to dry,
Yes I do hope David and Ellen had a good move, OH said he flew over the North East coast today and from the plane window he could see for miles it was really clear.

I've not been feeling all that great this afternoon with my digestion, OH says he'll just warm up some rice pudding for my tea , I'm not very hungry. still waiting to hear from the hermatoligist (SP) about my white blood cells, and still no appointment for a Endiscope. :-( all this waiting is hard work :-\)

Frank are you talking about the floods at Easter that year?
My Sister was here and we we due to go down to stay with Mum in Plymouth.My Garage was flooded out totally and we couldn't get out of the drive.I know we were in our nighties and welly boots outside trying to turn the gas off as the water in the garage was almost at the boiler level.If you picture the fields at the back of the big house opposite where you lived on Baton Rd,they are on a slope ,so all the water came down to us :-S :-S :-S
I didn't get too wet Frank.I didn't dare leave the doorway in the down pour otherwise I would have had see a see through top ;-) ;-).I had the pants bored off me by some chap who was also sheltering about the state of the country and the price of everything :-S.I tried to make a quick escape as soon as the rain eased.
Chris has just got out to mow the lawn.He seems a bit of a misery today.I think he is Knac****d and has to be up at 5am to go to Oxford for some meeting.I just called him a grumpy old g*t .Don't it went down too well lol

Afternoon one and all,

Trust David's move was successful, and not to much stress.

Annx, Those floods were April 1998. Just looked on Google. Around the affected area's of Northampton, they have built flood defences. It seems KIM could do with those at the moment.

I have been busy loading stuff on Ebay. Load of old tools, clocks, more books. I think I have got the bug. How much do you think I will get for ROS :-D :-D :-D :-D No I didn't say that. I think I have about 15 items for sale. The last lot I sold, Ros bought a new bracelet !!!!

Weather not sure what to do here. Been sunshine and showers all day. Did you get wet then JANE ha ha ha

I was thinking along the same lines Shirl. although I was going to say evenif the walls didn't get plastered I think I would have been by now Pat.
You and your brother look a bit older in your photo. I've changed mine again, got a bit bored yesterday.

I'm on the right and my eldest daughter on the left sporting the same hairstyle. Think it is late 60's, that dress, black with white polka dots was nylon, and very short I seem to remember. It was the 'flower power' era and I had a trouser suit, again in nylon, with a brown background and massive orange flowers all over it.

Hope all is going to plan for David and his move.

Thanks for the photos Jane, haven't seen them yet, will do that now.

Kim I hope you are feeling better today, are your symptoms worse in the cold weather. It's surprising what a bit of warm weather can do.

FRANK----AS FOR MY ----Q-TTAWA-----YOU KNOW WERE YOU CAN PLANT YOUR TOM'S AND RUNNER BEAN'S----XXXXXX (I-LOVE-YOU-TO)) XX

WELL SAW LOTS I'D LIKE AT IKEA BUT DIDN'T BUY BIG, JUST TUBE OF CREAMED SMOKED ROE PASTE,COUPLE BOTTLE JUICE, AND PIC FOR MY BEDROOM.--FOR ONE THING NO ROOM IN CAR WITH SIX OF US,
BUT DID SEE TV STAND WOULD LIKE GOOD PRICE , BUT TO SHIP TO KINGSTON COST MORE THAN IT WAS WORTH.---MAY GET BACK WHEN NOT SO MANY IN CAR???

THINK WITH THESE PLASTER'S --IT'S THEM I'D BE PLASTERING LOL
THEY CAN GIVE A BETTER TIME LINE .
SORRY UNLIKE YOU LOT WHEN YOUR OUT AND ABOUT CAN GET GREAT PIC'S ---HERE IT'S JUST LONG STRETCH OF HIGHWAYS.

Oh dear I hope David hasn't got this rain we have got.I have just spent 20 minutes stood in a shop doorway in town.No coat ,no umbrella ,and just flimsy sandals.
Frank,Hannah often does do a Frank.Her knees have lots of scarring to show for it. :-S
Kim I hope you get your energy back soon.It must make you feel pretty miserable.

Pat,I'm so sorry you have had all these extra problems.You must be tearing your hair out with it all now.When is it you are off? Is it Saturday?I hope you have plenty of Vodka left ;-)

I seem to have not read some of the posts from yesterday,I must go back and have a proper read.
I gather Chelsea has caught her finger in something.That would be so painful for her.I hope it is a bit better today.

I have so much to do .Rachel ,Darren and little Ethan will be here tomorrow .I would like to have things looking at least a bit straight and all the ironing out of the way.I do need to get a couple of shirts done for Chris and James for the wedding on sunday.I think everything that needs ironing can now wait until next week .
Will be back in a while.I need to put 3 massive Pizzas away.I have no idea how I'm going to fit them in the fridge!!!!!.Silly me I should have waited and just bought them tomorrow. :-( :-(

Afternoon All,

I bit of drizzle here earlier, but we went out in the garden and did a few more feet of rocks. OH had to shovel a lot of soil away and lift out some rocks from where they were and put them near to me ready for their new position. I can't believe all the ants nests we've disturbed and they don't like it one bit and give quite a nip!! When we'd had enough we got showered and went to treat ourselves at The Shires at Peatling Parva where they do a good deal for 'seniors' on a 2 course carvery!!! Four meats and a big selection of veg, we both had apple and blueberry crumble to follow. OH could hardly move after and is flopped out reading the paper now!! lol

What lovely pics of James and Hannah Jane!! Very natural. Sounds like you had a memorable day and tingly fingers from all the clapping. There were quite a few to clap for!!

Frank, it was quite a day when your son did your fence by the sounds of it, both of you soaked to the skin!! No wonder you remember it so well. I remember all those floods everywhere. It was memorable too when ours blew down. OH rang me in hospital the day after I'd had an operation to tell me!!

Methinks Mel will be in the garden today and her OH doing the drive. Do you ring at more than 1 church Mel? It shows fine weather till after the weekend here so I think a couple of loads will be in the washer later.

What awful weather Kim, floods and torrential rain and your poor OH having to go out in it and clear drains!! I hope you get some energy back soon, but I expect you need to take it easy a bit after the trip to the docs. I love the pic of you as a baby......such a smiley girl!

Hope you get your washing dry Fiona.

Afternoon All
Thanks for the photo's Jane , Wow what a lot of people, I can imagine your hands would have been red raw with all that clapping, James looks very smart and very proud, what a lovely girl Hannah is too.
Glad you all had a lovely day and it's so good that the weather was warm & dry.

OH due home any minute, landed at Edinburgh Airport an hour ago, so I will have to get the kettle on.

I was going to the park with Sofia this morning but she fell asleep in the car, so daughter no 1 just went home.


It's dry at the moment of to put some washing on the line.
BBL

Hello everyone,

Just passing through to the couch. Wishing you all a good day - not much energy at the moment. Torrential rain continuing, strong winds and flooding, but still here. OH had to clear drains down the side of the house and the water was just reaching the bottom of the windows. All clear now.

Fiona bloody annoying and so rude when tradespeople can't ring to say they are running late or can't make it at all.

Looking forward to seeing the pics when it is finished Pat.

Off to watch tv - I will catch up with all your posts tomorrow.

Bye for now, Kim 9.34 pm EST

Afternoon all,

Jane, so pleased everything went well for you yesterday, and the rain stay off. When you said Hannah went Frank. I read it as Hannah DID a Frank. I thought she had fallen over. :-D :-D :-D :-D

David will be in the panic mood at the moment. Making sure everything gets packed, and unloaded into the right rooms. :-S :-S :-S :-S

Don't push your luck Mel, The washing will still be there tomorrow. Enjoy the sunshine. We haven't got it here, just showers. I will have to dodge them to go to get a few pots for dinner tonight. Made a Lasagne for tonight with Garlic bread and new pots. Hows that tunnel coming on.????

Annx, We had our fence down in the year of the floods. My son bought all the materials up on his truck, We got it unloaded in all the rain. He then had to go and lay three lawns with turf. As he had spent a lot of time with me. I went with him to help. The rain was so heavy, it was washing the earth away as we laid the turf. It was for a three show houses, so it didn't matter just needed green grass all around. I know that year. Might have beeb 96/98. The country was flooded and Northampton streets were under 4ft of water in places Will have to Google it.

I trust Kim is feeling a bit better today and taking care of herself.

Shirl, Did you find your way home from Qntarrio. :-D :-D :-D :

Trust all my dear friends are well, and have a good day.

Morning Everyone from a very tired me.
Have just sent a few pics but none with me in I'm hoping Hannah might have something better on her camera that she will pass on to me.
It was a great day and just such a wonderful place to have the ceremony.Luckily the rain stayed away .It was cloudy and very warm ,and when we came out of the Cathedral it was very breezy .
Hannah went Frank she came down on the train from London,and James's girlfriend Jess was there too.We had a lovely meal out on the Tuesday night in a little village just 10 minutes from our Hotel.
I have been trying to count the number of Graduates but keep loosing count.James was the 139th on to collect his certificate and I think all in all there were between 400 and 500.It got a bit tiring clapping for each one lol

I have to go out now but will BBL.
I hope all goes well today for David and the move.

Morning and at the moment the sun is out. I took one look in the linen basket and thought why spoil it, lets enjoy a bit of sun first.

Sods law if I put something in the machine it will turn cloudy and rain :-(

Hope Pat's workman have turned up on time today and she gets some long awaited work done.

If this weather holds today guess where I shall be? :-D

I wonder how many tears escaped Jane's eyes yesterday. Bet she was really really pround. What a wonderfull thing for the family.

Night Night all, GOD BLESS

Time I was off to bed too, just been waching a bit of Tv and didn't realise the time.
night night
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :-D
