Hello All

Just caught up on all your postings. I havent had much time to write as been busy with the kids.

We been cooking cakes, painting,watching dvd, playing board games any thing to keep busy and out of the rain over the last few days.

Today was dry so my OH took the boys up a local park while I caught up with the ironing. Jobs dont seem to get done when everyones at home.

We have both got next week off from work so are going to take the boys out each day weather is going to be good ( if I believe the forecast).

Been trying to work on my tree again but need to order some certifcates before I can move forward.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will be in touch when I can.

Sue

Huia,

We wash both the covers and the duvet ...
The duvet once a year ,but covers as often as you would wash sheets ...


Hi Sue enjoy your holiday's

Hi again folks.
Just popped on for a moment,to let Huia know that I have sent Jean's photo to you. Hopefully I have correct e.mail addy.
Nice to hear from you again Sue,I thought you had maybe gone on holiday.
Oh Marilyn,the image of you both struggling with that quilt,had me laughing to myself. It would be so heavy when it's wet. Luckily our local
dry cleaners,usually have an offer on at this time of year,on doing duvets.
Off to bed now. Night Night all. Love Mo xxx

Good morning everyone, just having a break from doing some scrap pages, so thought I'd look in to see how everyone is.

I've decided that I am going to spend most of the day working on the scrapbook. Hopefully!

Sue it's nice to hear from you -- I'm sure the boys enjoyed themselves doing all the activities with you. Hope you have a nice week off work, and have some good days out.

Marilyn, I have a small hearing aid that I bought myself-- I hardly use it -- I was disappointed with it from the start, apart from being uncomfortable and falling out now and again, I don't seem to hear that well with it. Been back with it a few times but whatever they did to it hasn't made any difference.

Going to get on now, so will speak to you all later. Have a good day everyone.

Love, Sallie.xx

Good afternoon everyone.
This is a special message for Huia,and I know you will all be concerned
for her.
I read on the carers thread,that Huia's husband went missing yesterday.
The police were looking for him. Thank the lord,they found him.
I would just like to send Huia a great big [[[[[[[[[[[HUG]]]]]]]]]]]]].
Please consider what your son has asked of you Huia,and move nearer to
him,so that he can help you. You have endured so much worry on your own,it's time to accept your son's help. I mean no offence in saying this,it's because I care that I do. Take care love.
I hope you are all well,and enjoying the lovely weather.
I have just finished the cleaning,and am now going to have a very lazy afternoon. Well I will after I have done the dinner.
Love and all my best wishes to you all. Mo xxx

Mokent
It was me that added to the Carers Thread. I too am worried for and about Huia. I hope she does take care of herself. She's hopefully sleeping now. It is a big worry for her.
Thinking of you Huia and please take some advice and talk this through with your son.

Linda :o) XxX

Thanks Mo, for this info, I have sent a e-mail to Huia..


Love Jean x

Hello Linda. Good to see you on here,as well as on Sue's thread.
I added about Huia on here as she has a lot of friends,who may not read the carers thread. I did see what you had added,and thought I had better
let the girls on here know as well. If you had not added to the carers thread,I may well have missed it. Even though I do try to read it on a regular basis. But I have not book marked it,maybe I should have,think I will do it in a moment.
Thanks again. Mo

Oh Dear ,

Sorry about your hubby Huia what a shock for you.

Yes it all makes sense to be looked after ....near your loved ones.

Best thing for you Huia to move near your family, OK the house might be your pride and joy.........but life has to be lived according to your needs .

Thinking about you Huia and Hubby.
Take care.

Thank you for caring, ladies. I am sitting here dabbing my eyes from reading your postings. I woke 2 hours ago (3.30) and couldnt get back to sleep so thought I would have a play on my computer to try to get tired again. I am so very appreciative of all the love and advice I get from you all.

Going back to bed soon for another hour if OH doesnt wake before that.

Huia.

Huia, first mail was wrong addy , so did the new one hope it gets through,

love Jean xx

Huia, just read about your OH, I hope you are alright now. It really is a big worry for you. If you lived near your son, he would be able to take some of the responsibility and worry off your shoulders for you. I'm sure you don't want to leave your home after so many years living there-- but living near your son, you would have peace of mind when he looks after your OH, and I'm sure you would be able to sleep more easily.

Very best wishes to you and your family. Thinking about you all!

Love, Sallie.xx

Hi All,
Where is everyone today? I hope all is well with everyone.

Well the weather is not very nice here today, it's humid with a fine drizzle.
So different from yesterday when it was bright and sunny.
I've been over my friend's today, her hubby's back at work after two weeks holiday. Her daughter and I just make sure she doesn't do things that she's not suppose to do.

Huia I hope things are a little less stressful with you today and that you have managed to get some sleep.

Jean, how are things with you and J? Hope all is okay!
Have you managed to get anymore scrap pages done? I've managed to do some, but they seem to be taking ages to do.

Sue, I hope your weather is better than ours, so that you and the family can get out and about this week while you and hubby are off on holiday.

Mo, hope everything is alright with you and Roly. Have you heard if your granddaughter has had her results yet?

Love to Marilyn, Grace, Marie and Debbie.

I'm going to make a nice cup of tea now, and then do some scrap pages.

Might look in later!

Best wishes to you all.

Love, Sallie.xx

Hi Sallie.
It really is quiet isn't it.
I was so shocked to read about poor Huia,yesterday. We all send you our very best wishes Huia. I hope you get on o.k,when you go to visit the respite homes. It's a very hard task,that lays before you. But if you ever need to let of steam,we are here for you.
I remember when we were looking for a nursing home,for my mum. We visited so many,and I do not know how some of them actually got a licence
to care for the elderly. The one we settled on eventually,was excellent. Mum got a lot of care and attention,that she needed when her dementia
became very bad.
We are both o.k Sallie. Still no news on my grandaughter though.
Your friend sounds like a typical mum. We can never just sit and do nothing can we. Even though we know we shouldn't ,and have been told
by the experts not to.
I wonder how our Jean is? Are you there Jean,come on show us your face
we miss you.
Marilyn,I have sent you an e.mail. I hope you like it. I know it's cheeky but
hey ho. I just hope you open it first,and not your OH.
Hello to Sue,Grace,Marie and of course Debbie for when she comes back.
Take care all of you. Love Mo xxx
