Hello everyone, hopeyou have had a pleasant day.

Rita, please take things easy, you need to rest as much as possible, and eat to get your strength back.

Have we got a new friend, if we have he tells good chuckles like Stephen. lol

I finished my second week of treatment today, I will have a scan after the next 2 weeks, just to see what, if anything is happening.

Yvonne, do you do any showjumping? I used to many moons ago, but am too old now to compete.

Going to have a sandwich now and a cuppa.

Take care everyone and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Afternoon all.

I've changed my avatar because Marilyn said my old one needed a face lift.

Is this one better Marilyn?

Just take it easy Rita, don't try to do anything. You need to build your strength back up.

Stephen, is that one of your little granddaughters on your avatar?

Why are you incognito, Stephen? Are you hiding from someone?

Morning everyone hope your all feeling well. the nights have started to draw in now and have you noticed how cold it has started to get..

I am having a job getting things done. it took me ages to wash and dress this morning. my head feel fuzzy so I have to stop then carry on again.I felt too weak to have a shower.I did manage to eat some cornflakes this morning.

My sister is coming over for the day tomorrow. she said dont try and get anything for dinner she will pick something up on her way here. so I look forward to seeing her.

Have a good day

A Wee Chuckle for the day

A guy is reading his paper when his wife walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head with a frying pan.

He asks, "What was that for?"

She says, "I found a piece of paper in your pocket with 'Marliyn' written on it."

He says, "Jeez, honey, remember last week when I went to the Race Track?

'Marilyn' was the name of the horse I went there to bet on."

She shrugs and walks away.

Three days later he's reading his paper when she walks up behind him and smacks him on the back of the head again with the frying pan.

He asks, "What was that for?"

She answers, "Your horse 'Marilyn' just phoned you."

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Hi all, just popped in to see how you all are.

Rita, you've been having a right old time of it. Can't believe how you were treated. I hope your family are all writing letters of complaint. I hope you've turned the corner now and start to pick up a bit. As for that manager........... I don't know how she keeps her job, it's time she was replaced.

Jean, as long as your treatment is working - that's the important thing. The bruises will fade. Take the good advice you gave Rita........... get plenty of rest and make sure you eat well, it'll help you fight.

Shelly, I can't wait to see a photo of little legs in uniform........... doesn't time fly?

Lovely photo Marilyn, I'm sure you get younger with each photo. Own up............ you've had a face lift haven't you? :-D :-D

I've only looked at this page (and Rita's post on the last page to see what was wrong) so I hope no one else is having any problems.

Take care <3 <3 <3

Awh Thanks for all the lovely remarks !! I might just keep it there for a while anyway.

Shelly ....You have taken me back years :-S... I felt like I was leaving my youngest at an orphanage when he first started nursery , he clung to me like a limpet !! and was just as bad when he started School, So now we want a photo of little legs in his UNIFORM :-D Bless him.
I think his nan should have taken him........ ;-)


Its a sunny day today I got Pete painting my lounge.....got the whip out at the double LOL
He'll get on with it as long as I get the kettle boiling for breaks ... ;-)

Rita ...how strange that you have to wait for a cancellation for a doctor today......if in my surgery you ring up after 8am a doctor will always see you ,it might not be YOUR doctor but you will always be seen that day ........I have to say I have a very good working surgery and know I'm very lucky as I do hear of other surgery's not being so caring.

I had a 24hr blood pressure monitor taken off yesterday.....boy what a performance it was a nuisance in bed as at night a box is tied around your hips and a wrapped arm band with these tubes going up your back , every 1/2 hour pressure taken until 10pm then every hour through the night .....the noise nearly drove Pete insane ...LOL
But I did laugh with the nurse when she read the readings to me this was her very words .".What the hell were you doing at 2am in the morning"... ? your blood pressure was way over the top !! "What I said honestly" ..... "Nothing" ...LOL We both rolled over laughing and decided it must have been a bad dream or a good one :-)

So just waiting for the doc to ring me .....more tablets I would presume :-S

Going in my bath now ....... :-D

Morning I got up early this morning as I have to try and get an appointment with my GP. when I phoned yesterday I had to wait till 22nd but I need to see hime before that as a lot of my drugs have been altered, so I have to phone early to see if there is a cancellation.

Cath when I was in hospital there was a south Afican young women there. she had worked in Gurnsey for a couple of years as a carer. she said she loved it. but it appears you have to have a house certificate whatever that is ? so she moved to London then to Surrey.
she was so kind to people helped and old lady who dropped her hot soup on her tummy. she was there as a patient as well.. came home the same day as I did.

Morning all,
lovely autumnal morning here :-)
Lol Shelly, trust me to get the wrong day. Hope little legs won't cry too much at nursery.
Rita I'm glad you gave that useless woman a piece of your mind, she had it coming. Too many people who work with the elderly don't seem to care enough, makes me so mad. Years ago when my children were small I worked nights in a nursing home and loved it, the residents were lovely and had so much to talk about but there were staff members who sadly didn't want to pass the time of day with them. I hope your grandaughter continues to make good progress and will be home with her children soon.
Marilyn, lovely pic :-D

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.

As they lay down for the night, Holmes said:

” Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?"

Watson said, "I see millions and millions of stars."

Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"

Watson:..........

"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant.

Meteorogically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you?"

Holmes:...............

"Somebody stole our tent."

Hazel, shame you are in Yarmouth that particular week as I will be in Crete, any other time and I could have come to Yarmouth and met up with you or you come to Norwich and met with me! Have a good time

Rita, hope you are feeling better

Jeniwren, hope your bruising will not be too painful and will ease soon.

Marilyn, nice pic, thanks for pm, will see you at Christmas!!!

Shelly, I was the tearful one when my son went to school, haven't got grandchildren yet to go through that with and by the time I do, think I will be a bit ancient for the school run. Hope little man won't get too upset.
