Hello to you all It is Marie,
Sylvia I will try what it was you said I will have another look at the instructions and hope I can remember them
I have been ill and unfortunately I am still feeling Nauseous all the time as soon as I eat my breakfast.
I went to the Gym on Tuesday the 1st time for awhile , I was very sore the next day .I think the Nausea may be caused from all the worry and stress of not knowing where I will be once the property is sold.
Mo I am so pleased to hear that Roly is on the mend I hope the results from the Doctor' will be helpful.

I am afraid I do not have anything cheerful to tell you , my Daughter Kathleen seems to be on a roleacoaster ride one day positive the next down as far as you can get and blaming everyone else unable to stop crying , she is a mess,we cant help her she has to do this herself., It looks like Brian has made up his mind to quit the marriage
I just feel so down and so sad for Kathleen. and for Victoria and Sebastian his children.
I must go and find something to eat as it is well past my meal time, I have lost a lot of weight since I have given up sugar, I only weigh about 57 kilos fully dressed, I may have to visit the doctor if I continue to lose weight.
<3 Love and hugs to you all my friends <3 Marie

Marie, slow down honey, you must see your doctor as soon as possible, and get yourself sorted out.
You can't afford to lose much more weight, or you will dissappear down a drain hole.
Life has been so awful for you, over the last few months, that it is bound to affect your life and health.
You rpoor daughter has been through the mill, and the children must be devastated.
But the youngsters are now nearly grown, and will adapt.
When my daughters husband left her for another woman, not so long ago, she was at her lowest ebb I have ever seen her in her life.
She was left with nothing, apart from a home her OH had said he would not help her with, and three children to house and feed.
Kim pulled her horns in, worked darned hard, saw her mortgage company, and bought him out by extending her mortgage, and got on with her life.
She has now met a wonderful man, who idolises her, and has asked her, after one years courtship, to marry him.
At first my daughter had no confidence to go out and about, and started initially Internet dating, which believe you me, scared the pants off her father and myself. We were never sure who she would meet up with, but eventually, she met her future husband via the net, and we could not be happier for her than we are now. But at the time, we were so worried for her and the girls, and full of hate for our ex son in law, who has by the way, already married the woman he left our daughter for.
Our grandaughters initially wanted nothing to do with their father, but our daughter sensibly said they couldn't just shut him out of their lives, as he was their father after all said and done.
Stay strong Marie, life will sort it's way out for you all soon.((((((((HUGS))))))) <3

Oooh Ann, it's a good job that T is versatile, and can turn his hand to many things, or you would have had to sleep on the mattress on the floor. lol
I bet you were both shattered after your journey, and delays. I just wish you had managed to bring some sunshine home with you though.
Oooh yuk, poor you having to sit by a sickly person on your journey home. And I hope T's calf muscle is not playing him up to much today. I bet if he gets the chance, he will be off to the golf course, providing the leg allows of course.
Have you caught up with the dreaded washing yet? If your weather is like ours, it will be a case of drying the clothes indoors.

Today I had to drive Roly to the hopsital, for his hearing aid to be re-tubed and upgraded.
Goodness me, the traffic since I ceased driving five years ago, has increased ten fold.
When ever I have to drive us anywhere now, I end up a nervous wreck, and have to sit down for a while to calm myself down a bit. What an idiot I am, as I used to enjoy driving, but not now I'm afraid.
Next monday I have got to take Roly back to the hospital for xrays on his teeth. His dentist wont take a tooth out, till he gets the xrays done, following his stroke that is, it seems daft to me, but hey ho, they know what they are on about I suppose.

Still no news from Sallie, so I will message her, to make sure all is o.k with her and Alun.

Bye for now my friends, take care, love to all, Mo xxx

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t been on here for almost a couple of weeks. I’ve had a few bad days but feeling better now, as went to see the Consultant last week and he has increased my medication, so hopefully I will feel a lot better. Alun and I have also been down to Richard’s for a few days, and I feel quite pleased with myself for staying a couple of days longer than I have been able to for a long while.
We came home yesterday morning, and now Alun and Michael are putting in our new bathroom suite.
Luckily, Michael is a plumber by trade so is able to fit it for us, so we will give him the money for doing it.
Hope you are all okay, I will read the posts I have missed so will ‘speak’ to you all later on today.
Love, Sallie.xxx

Good to see you on here Sallie, people were worried with not hearing anything from you. Hope you continue to get better.

Thank goodness you are back our Sallie, we missed you my love.
You will have to put a notice in the bathroom, stating how much it costs to use the ablutions, especially as it will look so grand when it's finished.
Well done you, for staying longer at Richards than you intended. The break and change of surroundings will have done you the world of good.

Well girls, it's been a glorious day today, I hope you have all enjoyed it.
All is well here at the moment (fingers crossed). I do hope all is well with you all as well.
Cheerio for now, love to all, Mo xxx

What a nightmare of a day, we had an electricion call to fix the plugs not working, he tested every plug, every electrical socket in the house and cant find the fault , looks like we have to have to have the kitchen dismantled and finally the house rewired.
we also found a leak which we thinks is coming from the dishwasher, the guy who put the kitchen in has just gone on a two week holiday, we can use one half of the kitchen electrics, so we can manage but we ware so upset with what looks like a botched up job so if I go missing you will read about it in the dailys ," woman gone berserk with carving knife as a poor man is now missing some vital parts" :-0 :-| :-0 :-| :-0 :-|

love Jean xx

Jean could the leak you found have affected the electrics? what a nuisance (to put it mildly) for you. I hope that you can get things sorted painlessly.

Oh no Jean, what a shame about your electrical problems. It never rains but it pours my love, stiff upper lip honey, and smile in adversity....so they say, but not so easily done is it.
It's so frustrating that the kitchen fitter is away, just when you need him. I presume he was gas and electric certificated, if not, sue the backside of him, don't chase him with the kitchen knife, we definately don't want ot read all about it in the papers.
And I am not to good at baking a cake, and adding an extra ingerdient in it, ie a file to help you escape prison. ;-)

Well thats one hospital visit for Roly under his belt, only another three to go, before his final visit with the specialist.
He is doing o.k at the moment, thank the lord.

I hope you are all well. Love to all, Mo xxx

No Ann,it was some lino we had down when we clean it with the steam mop it appears the water had seeped underneath and the spongy backing had soaked it all up we thought the edges were sealed , but they werent, so we had to take it all up and its outside drying off but no doubt we will throw it away and get something else....
there was no leak...then the plumber found the stop cock had a leak when you turned it off, so he replaced that, job done,we still need to sort out the electrics,

Hope you are enjoying your birthday Jean.

Ergh!!! Just been to have half my teeth deep cleaned (Have injections so he can dig deep). Mentioned one of my 'remaining' front teeth is extra sensitive. He says a feeling has come out and it is a deep hole. I can either have it out or a root filling. So I have an appointment for a root filling when I return from Lanzarote. (appt 24 July). Cost £200 altogether for two long appointments. I shall really look forward to that!!!! Have the rest of the cleaning next week and a dressing put on the tooth. I hate teeth. :-)

Poor Ann, I too hate teeth, and hate the hygenist.......

Just seen the lovely e-card you sent thank you it is lovely, also the one you sent via post, I have lost all my contacts , so when D gets home she will sort it out I hope..
I have had some lovely cards from the B/G too...I love your pics on the photo blog.

we finally had the electrics sorted, and all is working now. so we have found a great electrician, lovely young man , he even called on us this morning to see if everthing was still o.k. certainly will use him again...

J has just made my lunch so will say bye for now...

love Jean xx

Hello Jean, hope you have a lovely day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
:-) :-) <3 :-) :-) <3

I read an interesting article this week that said people born in the summer months have thinner teeth on average. They think it is because of the lack of vitimin D during pregnancy when baby's teeth are formed.

That is interesting, Ann. I was a summer baby and I am having a lot of expensive treatment to my teeth at present. I don't hate teeth, I just hate the things that happen to them. I would hate to have no teeth and have to eat pureed food all the time, as Phil does, although he wont be worried about it because of his current state. No smiley for a toothless grin!! :-(

Mo where are you <3 <3 <3

love Jean xx <3

Hello girls, sorry to have been absent without leave for a while.
I am fine, but the days seems to fly by without my realising it. I suppose it's been constantly on the watch, making sure Roly does not have a relapse.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts, and I hopefully will be back in action after Tuesday, when Roly has to have his scans.
Take care girls, love to you all, Mo xxx

My dear friends,
What is happening , it has taken me ages to find you and I am still not sure I am on the right page :-S
I am feeling well again thank goodness .
It is a public holiday to-day but it is cold & very wet the cloud is down to the ground
I am unable to see the Highway that goes past our property.
I had planned a day in the garden but now I will have to do some serious sorting of old clothes and things and pack them up and take to Charity I have been putting it off finding other things to do .

The Property is still having work done on it I am hoping it wont go on the market until spring as I will have the annuals and spring flowering bulbs all in bloom it will look so much nicer by then.

I went and had a look at a 2 bedroom unit in a retirement village , it was disappointing so small the carpet so tired and kitchen not much bigger than a shoe box, I am hoping that I might be able to get a 3 bedroom one I would then have room for an office and sewing area plus my combined bookcase and filing cabinet.
Unfortunately I just will not have enough money to get any thing a little better.
I will have to have a garage sale as I have a large number of tools ladder's wheel barrow all the stuff you get over the years
I must stop as it is making me feel sad.

Mo I hope Roly is improving and that you are also well.
Has anyone heard from Marilyn lately .?
Hi Sallie I hope that black dog has not been calling at your door.

Hi Sylvia my grand daughter has been visiting up your way ,She is a dancer on the tour ships.
Hi Ann, how is everything with you and your family?

Hi Huia, how is the hair growing , you are a game lady letting them take your hair off, especially with winter being so cold in N Z.
Has anyone heard from Dutch , I wonder how she is keeping, I have emailed her but I don't think she has( Translate ) on her computer.
I will say Bye Bye Love and Hugs
<3 Marie :-D

Marie again ,
Sorry Jean I meant to wish you a belated( *#*#*# HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEAN(#(#(#)
I hope you had a wonderful day lots of love and hugs <3 :-) <3

Thank you Marie, I try not to have birthdays now :- didnt do anything special except watch a man try and fix an electrical fault, no plugs working down one side of the kitchen , D had a bad relapse with M/S and is now recovering, leccy man back today to finally we hope sort out the electrics, oh I had a mild electric shock off the dishwasher , then Jeff who had to be macho got a really big one even when I said be careful, he was shot across the room....but the young man dislocated the dishwasher and is looking at it today all because the kitchen job we had by a supposedly qualified guy who botched it :-0 :-0 :-0 but got lots of cards and gifts so not a bad day after all....
I will be praying for a special place for you to live Marie, with all that you need and can afford, and will keep you close in my heart and prayers....take care lovely lady.
love Jean xx <3

Oh my goodness, I have missed Jeans birthday. I am so sorry Jean, but can I PLEASE send you my (((((LOVE))))) and (((((((HUGS)))))) belatedly.
How could I forget such and important person in my life like that, please forgive me Jean. xxx

I feel absolutely shattered, we had to get up extra early this morning, so that we could be at the hospital for 7.45.
How come when you are in a rush, you manage to meet everyone who wants to use the roads at the same time.
We only just made it on time, and Roly was taken straight in for his scans.
When he came out he was ashen faced, and I began to panic, but, he said he very nearly pushed the panic button twice, to be allowed out, but he was a brave soldier, and stayed where he was.
He was fine when we got outside in the fresh air, he was just claustrophobic in the scanner.
Now we have got to wait till we see the specialist next month, for the results.
Tomorrow, we see the doctor, for her to assess if he is o.k to drive.

Must go now girls, I am doing curry for our dinner, and I need to get it started.
Bye my lovelies, take care one and all. Mo xxx
