Friday

Morning....

Its a bit of a wet one this morning. Typical ... I have to walk up the street with the children.
Not a great deal happening today. Sorry havent been on just lately, got a few problems - Mum isnt feeling too good. Thinking about you though, and sending hugs to Jayne and anyone else who needs them
Have a lovely day xx

Rain today - a few drops, enough to show on the ground like 2p pieces and lasted for about 20 seconds. Had 3 showers like this. (it was 32 though)

Knees feeling a bit rough but we have walked round the Zoo for 4 hours and spent time with the new pandas - Funi and Wang Wang - the only ones in the southern hemisphere.

My turn to cook supper. Korma and lime marinated chicken with charred mangos and a rice and spinach salad, capsicums and cucumber with garlic bread. The BBQ should be hot enough now so off to cook it.

Morning all, sending big hus to all.
Jan thining of you and Jane your in my prayers.xx

Time for bedtime stories. Played ten pin bowling again - I'm improving slightly! My fitness age is 58! (considering how I feel now after walking for 4 hours, that's amazing). Off to a 20 20 cricket match at the Oval tomorrow but quiet day planned. Have a fantastic Friday.

Sounds like you are having a busy but good time Jane Finished my swap card so have to go out to post it this morning and then tidy up the mess I have made in my craft room and get on with those ATCs Hugs to those who need them, Lou is hoping to get on here sometime today as we were texting last night. Karen, you and your Mum are in my prayers along with Jan and Jayne - take care all

Morning all,

Praying Jayne is fighting and that Jan is holding it together. xxx Thanks so much Jacky for keeping me updated last night, I was so worried yesterday x Hate it when things like this happen in our extended family x

Well I felt such a stupid fool this morning......

Yesterday afternoon when I got back from the hossy I felt great.... ever tried going to the loo with numb bits? OMG what a palaver! I had to hear the tinkle to know I had actually been! LOL
Got home and was feeling no pain whatsoever except as the anaestetic wore off I was slightly tender at the epidural site but no back or leg pain. Was sooo excited!!! Went off to sleep without my diazepam coz I felt so comfy.... woke this morning... and well lets put it like this

I FEEL A BLOOMING FOOL!

Feel just as much pain as usual........ back, leg ankle........ I feel so stupid coz I was expecting the effect from yesterday to be the norm now, was so sure it must have worked immediately! But I woke with a stark reminder this morning LOL....... I know, I know, even the doc told me it would take a few days to kick in..... but I was so down about it this morning I was in floods of tears, just couldn't stop! Feeling daft now pain killers have taken the edge off.... but I am angry that I let myself get so excited only to feel so let down! So will need to see how it goes over the next few days to see if it kicks in...... keeping everything crossed! Daft mare aint I? LOL... have just been reminded that I am meant to have 48 hours rest after epidural so must remember to behave myself! How boring! Pouring with rain here toay so can't go anywhere... also have youngest off ill with a stomach bug!

Hope your mum is soon feeling better Karen hun x

Glad you are having a lovely time Jane xx

Hugs for any poorlies x

Have a great day all xxxx

Thinking of you Jayne and Jan, hope your mum is better soon Karen. You take it easy Lou and Jane sounds like you are having a bonzer time , be careful with your knee.

Jane glad your having a great time , shame about the rain !!!!!!!
Iam going now as I NEED TO BLOW MY NOSE !!!!XX

Gees what a lot to catch up on!
Lou I have had the epidural and I pray to God it works for you. It is not a nice procedure but there again neither is back pain!!
Unfortunately it did not work for me but please do not take that as a given! It can work for some and I sincerely hope that it works for you.
Poopytree Sorry I just could not resist it
I see you are back in the Antipedes.
I hope you are having a great time with the family.

As for me............where do I start
Health .........just the same
Family..............Alan is now the proud Grandpa of two little girls
The first, Elsie Lou, is now 10 months old and is so scrumptious I could eat her.
The second, Alana Evelyn, was just born this week and we have been unable to see her yet as Alan has been full of the cold
But from her pictures she looks just as scrumptious

My family.........Oh now where do I start??
Nope! Not a Grandchild in sight but a wedding coming up in October with my elder daughter
So the card-making and crafting skills are going to be put to good use.
The others are just rolling along.
We also plan to move back up to Scotland this year as because of declining mobility I really need to be nearer my family.
My craft-room lies seriously neglected only used lately for one or two birthday cards. It is a case of pushing the mess to the side making a card and yet more mess being left behind until the next birthday comes round
Didn't even send out any Christmas cards this year as I refused to buy any and was deteremined to make them
Half a dozen were made and lie neatly stacked on the worktop of the craft-room
Well at least I can say that I have made an early start for next year
I will have to get it cleared soon though.
Jimmy, my beloved Westie, is growing up into a right pestie Westie but I love him even more for all his faults
Well that is all I can think of just now
I hope everyone gets over their sniffs and sneezes soon and I am sorry if I have forgotten anyone
Take care all and I promise
I will be back

Great to see you back Scottie!

Sounds like you are enjoying being Grandma Hallet I love being a grandmother so much, its really difficult to explain unless you are one I think, its that warm contented feeling you get from their love

Good to see you back Scottie!

Couldn't agree more - even if I only get to see them face to face for 3 weeks in a year!
