Hi Maz, I am a clever clogs. It dawned on me after I had posted how to read the other posts, der ficko thats moi.
So pleased to hear you are feeling better today love.
Keep them there roses nice and warm Maz, it's too chilly outside for them today :-D :-D :-D

Hi Mo....LOL


Just go backwards to the next page 2.....for more reading !

Mo I just leave the message still connecting until the ERROR shows ......it always sends it somehow . don't know what GR are playing at .

Just got back from the shops......feeling really well today :-D

Bought some baby roses the last ones died a slow death as Pete put weed killer on the grass NEAR MY ROSES ....Ughh :-S gosh he had a blasting :-0

Anyway as he has looked after me of late I couldn't remind him why I bought some more ,he thinks they are going in pots !

Hi folks, this Bl**dy stupid, it looks like my posts have ben sent, but I haven't been able to see that they have gone.
Thanks for the p.m Marilyn, have just done as you suggested, and I seem to be here, but am unable to read whats been happening, apart from the day of posting.
But hey thats me, such a dim whit.

Sorry to hear that Marilyn and Stephen have been unwell. Jeni (jean) sent me a message on FB to let me know.

Like most of the country, we have had heavy snow, that today seems to be melting.
But further down the coast at Folkestone, the Euro-Tunnel shuttles are not running, due to the weather here and on the continent.
If you can, watch the news and you will see all the lorries being stacked on the motorway, causing any amount of problems.
Many of the roads had people sleeping in their cars overnight, as they couldn't continue any further.
Why the heck do we always have problems in this country, even though the gritter lorries were out working continuously, the roads are still un-drivable.

Well peeps, I will love you and leave you now, and will try and get back tomorrow to speak to you.

Hi Huia

Thats what I have told Mo to do by PM ......... :-D


But she's probably asleep now.....like what I am about to do myself ..

Hi Everyone !! how long have you all got ????? to hear me ????? LOL

Well I have had a very traumatic few weeks even months ....thought my days were numbered .LOL

When I came home from USA I was given Oxygen on the flight !! and was fighting for breath. it happened all of a sudden.

I had been having coughing fits and bringing up ....what I thought was phlegm due to bronchitis.....of which I had also had since Christmas.

But after seeing the doctor on my return to UK , was given more antibiotics as doctor said I still had a viral infection.. :-(
Well the very next day I couldn't sleep at night as my breathing was getting out of control never slept....but 5-30 am Pete rang 999...paramedics came and was not happy with me checked everything !! but still could not see why I was gasping for breath.....so off to hospital I go.
Got X-Ray & CT scan done ....nothing showed up !! blood tests were done took most of the day to do tests , still no diagnostics from the doctors.
At last came the chest Consultant.....some answers about to come true .

After 4 days in hospital to stabilize me....... the Diabetic tablets were withdrawn immediately( METFORMIN )....... apparently the phlegm I was coughing was called Lactic Acidosis its like a watery phlegm all caused by the Metformin tablets building up over 3years .Lactice Acidosis occurs when there is not enough oxygen in the bloodstream to metabolize the glucose the body ends up converting the glucose into lactic acid . that's it in a nut shell !!!!
Its a rare but serious side affect.....three out of every 100,000 people who take Metformin will develop this.......IT HAD TO ME ME :-(

Now I'm on another medication, but its left me very weak & tired so I'm really mainly resting not been on Lappy at all.

Now before I loose this message I'm going to send it before it goes , as its taken ages to tell you all LOL
I'm getting better by the hour .

Back tomorrow.....thanks for all thinking about me :-D

Very quiet again.
Good to see Stephen back and glad it wasn't that you were too poorly but sorry about the computer.

Hope Marilyn is OK. I'll try to send an e-mail this evening.

Weather horrid here again today. Cold damp and miserable. Roll on summer. Sorry forgot the forecast !!!

Been crocheting again. Have been asked to make squares for blankets for needy folk here locally. So another project.
Had a hat picked up today for a lady that can't crochet so that was nice. Ready for when her baby is born, due in a months time

Have a nice evening and lovely Mothers Day everyone

A Wee Chuckle for the day

A man has solved the problem of too many visiting relatives.

He borrowed money from the rich ones and loaned it to the poor ones.

Now none of them come back.

Morning Folks,

My Computer has been out of action for a few days...........I suppose like all things it needs a rest now and again. :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Nice to know you were missing me, much appreciated. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm still suffering from the horrible cold that I have picked up. It's a real misery. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( Not a lot I can do about it except try and relieve the symptoms.

Today I have been invited by my son to visit the Royal Navys most modern Warship. She is in her final fitting out on the River Clyde. Looking forward to that.

Wonder what's wrong with Marilyn. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Dull and damp again this morning not a day I want to go out in to be honest. But the forecast is horrible !!! I just heard -5C ugh . When will winter end? Jean and Yvonne don't put those horse blankets away just yet.

Not sure what to do today? Maybe sort out some boxes of paperwork I keep putting off.
I remember our Rita was going through so much of her papers. I do miss her adding on here.

Hope Stephen is feeling better. And Marilyn hasn't added yet to let us know how she is after her holidays and hospital visit? Pauline hasn't been on but I did get some jokes recently.

Shelly good to see you are still around.

Renewal in April but might let it go, need to think about it as the site is so slow now adding is hard.

Have a good day everyone
