I have got everything crossed for you as well Liz. Your OH must see sense,
also his son in this country. It would be so different,if the pair in U.S were independant,and could pay for themselves to come over.
Don't allow the ex to win. If she wants him there,let her stump up the cash,
for everything.

Huia, could you manage with a tape or C.D to sing at the homes concert.
It would be wonderful for Phil to hear you sing again,and MAY bring back good memories for him.
Are the tablets working better by taking them at dinner time now.

Good to see you on here Jean if only briefly, hope you will soon bounce back again.

Huia a tape to sing with is a good idea or a CD as Mo says.

Last night (12 hours ago) was the first time I had taken the tablet at dinner time so I still have to see what the results are like. I woke several times during the night, despite the half sleeping pill, but managed to get back to sleep again. It would be nice if I could sleep straight through though.

Hi Huia, just pmd you and then saw your posts.

Do you think you are a bit cold or hungry in the night and that wakes you? What about having some porridge before bed, it is calming and will 'stay by you' as my Mum used to say.

No further info on the NY visitors yet. o.h. didn't have time to call his son so he is going to try today and say thanks for the FD card (the only contact number he has is the girl's mobile so he left a message on Monday, the day the card came, but hasn't been able to call again. He has to get the timing right or the girl takes the phone with her to work in the evenings or whenever, she is working in a bar and also doing cleaning work to make ends meet. I don't think they have the computer running at the mo because of costs.
When he speaks to him he will sound him out about coming alone and see what he thinks, also will find out if he has found any better flights from his end.

i went t the city yesterday to try and get something to wear at the Vergo shop that is closing on Saturday. It was dreadful in there, this was our local Co op shop, once there was a supermarket in one corner and the rest was furniture, clothing etc etc I have been going there since I was small as Mum used to get the divi and also used Provident cheques there to help spread the cost of clothing us especially when school uniform was needed. It was awful seeing the place so untidy and bare in places, big signs saying all fixtures and fittings for sale. The assistants are all losing their jobs since Vergo went bust, yet a year ago Vergo bought the Co-op shops, a few around the area and were handed the redundancy money for the staff in case things didn't work out. Now the girls told me the redundancy money has disappeared so they are worse off than if they had taken redundancy last year when the money was still with Co op. They thought they had a secure future.

I couldn't find a dress as the few I liked were too small. I went to Bon Marche as it's close by and found a pretty skirt reduced to £15 in whites, turquoise and lilac/purples (Bride's bouquet is cream and lilac roses, and the groom and best man etc are wearing lilac ties, they are getting one for o.h. too on white shirts, and grey or in o.h. case charcoal grey suits so I thought I would like something with lilac in to look smart on the photos. I thought a top I had would go with the skirt and I got a turquoise crocheted shrug/bolero top and they had a 20% off event so the two items worked out cheapish. Sadly when I got home and tried them they didn't look good so will be going back and my search goes on.

Better get to bed so I can get up in time to take those items back and try on another couple of things I quite liked, while the 20% discount is still offered. Didn't have time to try the things I got yesterday while I was in the store so will try the others and decide immediately.

Take care all, looks like another nice day

love
Lizxxx

Hello Liz, I do hope you found an outfit for the wedding,
Huia ,It is very cold here my fingers are frozen the last 2 days have been miserable and we will have rain on Friday & Saturday, OH for some sunshine I am sick of all this rain.

Hi Mo I hope you and Roly are well.We have our first ever Woman Prime Minister,I am Sad to see Kevin Rudd go, but I also like Miss Gillard (who by the way has a partner) I think she will do a good Job.
Our socceroos finally won a game.( I cant stand the game its too slow, the umpiring seems to be always second rate and the players are dreadful actors) I think that sums it up nicely. Boring Boring.
Sylvia dear, I know you are not pickled as they are suggesting when they tell you to take more water, no you are just like most of us at this age a bit clumsy. I hope you have a lovely time up at your cabin and the sun shines brightly all weekend.

Dear Sallie I hope you are feeling ok, I know what it is like to be forgotted on your special day as my first born son who I love very much,didn't remember me for Xmas or my Birthday/mothers Day I think he is trying to punish me when I told him I was dissapointed about the treatment that he & his other 2 brothers and his sister were giving his 2 sisters when his father cut Barbara & Kathleen out of his will, I told them that it was wrong and that they had to be included in the distribution of the money.
I received a very nasty letter from him which broke my heart, I have not had a greeting from him since.

Deborah lovely to see you on the board

June dear I hope the medication is starting to work .
I have to have medication every day for my reflux also asprin as my father had a stroke, colestrol tab ,and ciprimil for my depression, I never forget to take it as I am a nasty old grand ma if I dont, my mother had depression but in her day it wasn't diagnosed' unfortunately she passed it on to me and I have passed it on to my 3 daughters we are all on medication.

I must close as I am now feeling teary, telling you all my little secrets, never mind as Sallie & Mo so often say a good sweet cup of hot tea will fix it
Actually my gran also said that, she was a Dear little Irish Lady and I loved her dearly.
Good morning to you all. Marie

Liz what a shame you did not manage to get to Evans when they has their sale on.
I found two lovely skirts in there,but unfortunately they were to big.
How come when I nornally take a size 16,a size 14 was to big for me.
The ladies in the shop were so helpful,in putting things together,as I never can tell what should go with what.
I am not as good as Marie, who has lost a lot off weight,if I see food,I have to eat it,so can't lose the extra pounds. So I can't understand why the sizes were so different.
I am sorry I got the date off your birthday wrong,but I have amended it now.
I do hope you have managed to find something else you like.
Have you tried M+S,they have some nice things,a bit more expensive I know,but worth it for a special occasion.
Keep your chin up my lovely.

Hi ya Marie.
I am sorry you are feeling the cold at the moment. I do hope you have got your thermals on this year.
We must not complain about the weather,as we have got it beautiful here at the moment. And the forecast is for it to touch 30 by the weekend. Now that is hot for this country,and we will soon be moaning that it's to hot,and start praying for rain.
Well talking off the soccer,we actually won our game last night,by some miracle. Not that we were watching it. We just so happened to have the living room windows open,and guessed by the shouts off joy coming from neighbouring houses they we had scored. We only knew we had won when the news came on. LOL
I hope your woman prime minister,is better than the one we had, Maggie Thatcher never did us any favours,I can assure you. Mind you none off the ones since her have helped us pensioners since she was in power either.
Pensioners always go to the back of the pile when it comes to any benefits
our pensions are not great,but we are expected to exist on them.
And if we apply for the added benefits,nine out off ten times,most people are over the limit by just a few pennies or pounds, and don't qualify for them. And believe me,the paper work that has to be filled in is unbelievable,and most people give up before even filling the forms in.
By the way love, I see June and not Jean is back in your post. PMSL.
Never mind I am sure Jean will laugh at it.

Huia did you manage to get to see Phil. Is he well. Have you had any more thoughts,about using a tape or CD.

I hope our Sallie is o.k as she has not popped in to see us for a couple off days.

Bye for now girls. Love and best wishes to you all. Moxxx

Thanks for the hug Mo, When choosing an outfit (you mentioned the help given by the ladies in Evans) have you got a Debenhams near you. You can have a personal shopper there (I am 99% sure it is free) who will run round the store and put outfits together. My sister did it once. You give them the budget you are working to, the occasion and colours etc. It worked well for her.
It is quite cloudy here this afternoon although very warm, it actually looks a bit thundery. Hope it is fine at the weekend though as we are going to daughters in Hampshire.

Marie, so sorry that your son is not contacting you after your argument. I am convinced that wills cause more family fall outs than anything else. I assume that all the children are your children and his father was your husband? Do you know why he left the two girls out of the will? Maybe he felt he had good reason and your son felt that to go against his wishes would be disloyal to his father. I hope that you can heal the breach sometime.
Huia maybe it takes a while for the sleeping tablets to get you into a routine.

Hello Ann.
Yes we do have a local Debenhams. I went there when I was looking for an outfit for my grandaughters 18th birthday celebrations. But there was absolutely nothing I liked in there.
I ended up in a little local shop,that had just opened.
Fortunately, I am not a very dressy person,and I normally slob around in jeans, or a skirt unless I am going somewhere special.
And I gave up on makeup years ago, and now just use a cream on my face.

Took items back to BonMarche and got a refund, had another look round and wouldn't you know, found a loose fitting matching top to the skirt I had just had refunded! Put together they looked lovely and only £24 the two items, but the only top they had was a 16 which is a bit tight. They tried two other shops around Norfolk but no luck only a 22 which would be too big, if only an 18 had materialised! I bought them both to see what o.h. thinks (meant I had to buy back the skirt I had just taken back lol) They suggested I try online but again no 18, not even a size 20 so looks as tho I either have to starve till August or take them both back.
I did look in Bhs afterwards and had a dress put aside as it was £45 and I didn't have enough money till I get some of o.h. - his son's wedding, he pays lol ! It's in the Sophie Gray collection but I can't find it on line, it's a midcalf length dress with a sort of cowl neck bit but wide straps so easy to wear a bra under. It's white floaty polyester (aren't they all this year, so hot) and has lilac and purple flowers on so will tone well with the wedding colours of cream and lilac. Here and there are purple sequins on the purple flowers and there is a scarf with beads on the end that you can put round your neck if it is a bit crepey lol

It should feel fairly cool with only having straps altho I might need a little bolero/shrug, which I would get in white or purple.
I think it will be perfect if I get some good drawers, it's lined but will have to get some with flat elastic top so they don't show - will need strong harvest festival ones tho lol Had some white and silver open sandals with a wedge heel put aside in Bon Marche and all I will need is a handbag as I don't think I have a white one that will look right. Could get a purple one - I have seen several around in Tesco and other stores.

Will keep you posted

Hello Girls,

I've had a busy few days, what with shopping, a few extra chores in the house and making the cards for the church that my brother is the Vicar of.
By the time I had done what I had to, I was too tired to come on the computer.

Ann, I hope the weather will stay nice for your weekend at your daughter's, and that you and OH will have a good time. At last, I've decided and ordered a Cuttlebug, so I'm just waiting for it to be delivered--just hope that it won't be too difficult to use. I must be getting better as I could finally make up my mind on which machine I wanted, but I don't think my heart nor my mind was in it.

Huia, you made me laugh when I read your post about being propositioned by one of the residents in the home with Phil. It would be lovely if you could sing as one of the Carers as asked you to. I'm sure it would help you, giving you something to think about and to prepare for.
Like the others, I think that a cd might be a good idea. Hope Phil was no worse and that he was more alert when you saw him last.

Liz, the Co-op here in Ilkeston was also taken over by some other company last year, but not sure if it's Vergo. I do know that the Co-op isn't as good as it was, which is a shame, because it was always so good in the past. They've moved the cafe up to the second floor now, the decor looks alright, but with a lot of the staff being new, including the manager, it isn't the same. Margaret the old manager ran the cafe very strictly and smoothly, but the new one is not as organised as she was.
I hope you'll manage to get something to wear, as Mo said, Evans have some nice things in their stores, so it might be worth you looking there.

Marie, I really hope that things will get sorted between you and your eldest son. It isn't a nice situation at all, I kow that years ago before I was born, there was a bit of bad feeling in the family, because of a will. It just isn't worth all the nastiness and bad feeling that it can cause.
Wills can cause a lot of problems. My mother's eldest brother, left the majority of his money between my brother and myself, but because Alun and I use to go and decorate for him, he left the house to me, as he had told me a few years before that the house would be mine one day.
Anyway I wanted my brother to half of what the brought, so I had to write a letter to the people that were dealing with the will, stating just that. I felt it was only fair, as my brother and sister-in-law who was living about ten miles away from him, did his and our other uncles washing for them every week. They also had them for Sunday dinner every week and took them shopping. So although we did things like decorating and having them to stay for a few weeks during the year, it was my brother and sister-in-law that were there all the time.

Sylvia, I hope you and other half are enjoying your couple of days at the cabin. Glad to hear that your leg is getting better after your recent fall, please take care when you go on buses from now on. Although these things tend to happen so quickly and easily. Pleased to know that things have been sorted out with your daughter and son-in-law, and that your OH was happy to have the call from your daughter. The men tend not to show their feelings like we do---Alun never shows if he's hurt about something.
If someone has hurt him, he won't say anything to them, because he doesn't like to cause bad feeling. I think he's a bit too soft for his own good sometimes. Hugs and kisses to MJ!!!

Mo, hasn't Roly been watching the football? You're very lucky if he hasn't.
Janet and I have been up to town today, Thursday is market day, and there are a few stalls that we like to get things from, so with it being a nice day decided to go. We had our usual snack, with a pot of tea, just an excuse to sit down to relax and have a good natter. It's strange, but we are never stuck for anything to talk and laugh about.
Have you heard how your granddaughter and nephew are getting along/
I hope that they are both getting along okay.

Jean, nice to see your post and hope that you are feeling more like your own self. Pleased to hear that J and D are both okay. Jennie is fine at the moment, thank you, although she's had a couple of small nose bleeds. We're not sure if it's because of the medication or that she's just following Alun, as he suffers from small nose bleeds now and again. She goes to see the Consultant on the 7th of July, so we've told her to mention the nose bleeds.
Have tried doing any Parchment again? I found it very relaxing when I was doing it, took my mind off other things completely. Both the ladies at the craft place are both very friendly and helpful, so that helps a lot.

Debbie, you're a very busy lady with all the activities your children do.
Hope your dad is a litle bit better.

Dutch, good to see your post, it would be nice to see you when you feel like chatting to us all.

Love and best wishes. Sallie. xxx

Hi Sallie, thank goodness you have posted,I was getting worried as we had not heard from you.
Just to update you on my grandaughter,she seems to be fine. She had to have another smear the other day,and has to have another follow up in August. So they seem to be keeping an eye on her,thank the lord.
She actually popped in to see us the other day, as she wanted another favour.
Ooh that sounds awful doesn't it, but unfortunately it's true.
We had not seen her since she moved last time,and this time she wanted us to arrange storage for her furniture,as she is moving again.
Only this time she is saving for a mortgage, so she had moved in with her boyfriends mum, so that she does not have to pay rent.
My nephew has not been to good,but he cannot see his specialist until next month. It's such a worry.
Roly does not follow the football Sallie,so unless we get through to the finals,he will not be watching it. His choice I might add,not me being bitchy and not allowing him to watch it.

Well love guess what time it is. Time for tea. I have got to make it myself as Roly is out at darts.
Night Night god bless. Love Mo xxx

Well unless I can get the top from BM in an 18 that outfit will go back and I will just have the Bhs dress altho I have to say I forgot about Evans, it's not a store I use often but will have a look, I think our Bhs has an Evans dept too altho I had a quick flit round Bhs and couldn't see anything else suitable except some white sandals if I decide against the pair in BM

I have more than enough other outfits for the night before the wedding etc and really need to get rid of the stuff that is too small now.

Must go and get something else to eat, had some soup and made a call, watered all the garden and want to eat more than soup before he gets home and starts moaning about me cooking late in the evening. What he forgets is that I don't get up till early afternoon so had my bagel around 3pm so soup was lunch and I need dinner now lol

Hi everyone

Lovely to see all the news ..... but so sad to hear about the family fall-out Marie


We have real problems when we visit my cousins in Australia. There were 5 sisters who all emigrated down there with their husbands and children back in the late 50s and early 60s. They're now down to 3 sisters. I loved 4 of them dearly ...................... BUT one of the sisters M is a real b***h.

She has 5 daughters by 3 different men. The eldest E is only 6 years younger than me, and I love her and her husband dearly, but she has been badly treated by her mother ever since she was born illegitimately. When we visited in 2006, we were told that M was not speaking to E and 2 of her other daughters ...... and had FORBIDDEN her sisters to speak to the 3 girls (their nieces)! Plus their children had also been told the same

The reason?

Husband no 2 had died, he had been very close to E, and the other 2 were his daughters with M. He and M married after they arrived in Australia (having lied about their status when they emigrated with 5 children!), but divorced within a couple of years ................................ about 40 years ago. He then re-married, but remained close to those 3 girls (but not to the other 2). His second wife died before him, and so he left his money to E and her 2 half-sisters.

M heard about this, and decided that he should have left his money to her!

As he hadn't, she was insisting that the girls should give her the lion's share of the money, which they had refused to do.


Oh yes .......... M has a major gambling problem, and has gambled away any and all money that she ever had.

M's husband (no 3 officially) died last year .................... and all her daughters went to his funeral although none of them liked him (neither did I, I thought he was a real creep!). One of M's sisters commented in her Christmas letter that "E and the other girls supported M, as it was their duty to do"!


When we were with M and her sisters in 2006, everyone warned us not to mention E's name. M finally said to me "I suppose you're going to see E aren't you?" I said "yes, we are" in that don't-you-dare-tell-me-what-to-do voice ....... she didn't say another word!


All my cousins are now well over 80, and the daugthers are in their late 40s to 60s!

M missed her grandson's wedding, and has a gt grandchild she has never wanted to see

Isn't it a pity .............. mother not talking to her daughters, and the aunts not talking to their nieces seemingly because they are too afraid (for some reason) of M. One of them told me that "family had to stick togetrher, and sisters were closer than nieces".


OH gets so mad about them!!



We had a fun time for the last 3 days............. we stayed in a motel about 5 hours drive from Vancouver for 2 nights.

On Wednesday we drove a further 2½ hours up to the cabin, checked the place out, no apparent winter damage, OH unloaded the generator and put it in its hidey-hole, and put some other stuff away, and I sat and supervised whatever I could, plus doing some knitting

We had about 3 hours there, the weather was quite nice, but then some huge black clouds appeared from behind the nearest mountain ...... so we beat a retreat, and drove 2½ hours back to the motel!

The lowest temperature over the winter had been -30C, and it had already reached +26C at least once since "spring" came. It was about 21C while we were there. So very pleasant.

We left the motel about 10 am this morning, stopped and had lunch at a lovely coffee shop, and got home in mid-afternoon. Didn't hurry, and so it was very restful.


I seem to be spending the rest of this evening reading up on all I've missed!




I haven't been able to go and do any shopping for the Golden Wedding do we're going to on July 3

.......... so I'm going to go with my usual evening skirt, a maxi-length black skirt with a slit up the back, and a white short sleeved top with "diamond-like" stones set around the high scoop neck.


That'll have to do ................... I have some diamante earrings to dress it up.



MO ........ I meant to ask you. You said you bought a teal coloured skirt?? What colour tops did you get to go with it??? I have a teal coloured taffeta long skirt that I bought second-hand 3 or 4 years ago, but I never seem to have a top that looks right with it.





take care everyone

Morning Ladies, good to hear you all so jolly on here at the moment - must be the sun. Oh, Sylvia, your family situation couldn't have been written more complicated by a film director. Aren't families difficult at times?

Huia, over here they have sessions for Dementia sufferers called "Singing for the Brain" and sing everything from Nursery Rhymes to Hymns and anything in between. I think volunteers go and do it at the various Units here. If it works that you sing a couple of numbers and they go down well, perhaps you could do it again every couple of weeks for a while, or get some friends who sing to help you along. They say that singing unlocks all sorts of memories.

Mo, didn't know that you used to live in Holland. We are thinking possibly of heading that way for our summer hols. No plans made and they probably won't be til we are on the boat to France but Holland sounds promising at the moment.

All well and sunny here. Went on my walking class yesterday but we were on a cliff path and it was so hot. One of the ladies took a bit of a funny turn, so we moved inland and slowly walked back to the cars, which, luckily were parked in a pub car park so we all had a lovely refreshing drink before going home. It only cut our walk short by about half an hour, but safety was the priority.

It's very hot here today, Luke & Sophie have their sports events at 1pm, but I am out for lunch with an old school friend and couldn't change the date, so Peter will go to watch the children, before spending the rest of the afternoon on the golf course. Daniel went to Guernsey yesterday and won his race, which he was pleased about. He also competed in High Jump but came 4th in that. He did a high measure, but not high enough. Running is his favourite though.

Anne, I went on the walk through Waterworks Valley on Wednesday and it was beautiful. I really hope that when you come over the weather is good and you are able to do some of the route at least. It really is a gorgeous pathway, with lots of ups and downs to challenge the legs!!!


Liz, I went to town thiismorning and bought a couple of lovely pairs of crop trousers in Evans. They were on an offer that if you bought one pair the 2nd was a lot cheaper. A good way to sell more things, but I wanted 2 pairs anyway. In our shop they have some really lovely outfits, and a huge Sale Rail. Sorry I couldn't pick something out for you and send it over. I love lilacs and purples, so I would have enjoyed doing your shopping for you!!!!

Anyway, gotta go, Daniel and his friend have just come back from school to get ice creams!!! They shouldn't really, but as long as they are back before break is over, they don't get told off.

Take care everyone and enjoy the warm weather.

Hi Everyone,

Sylvia, so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the last three days away. It's sad that a family end up like that, I can't understand anyone not wanting to see their grt. grandchildren. She must be a very hard person, with no feelings for anyone but herself, it's a great shame, things could be so different.
Families can be a real pain, my parents had a problem with two of my father's sisters, especially one of them more than the other. She caused so much bad feeling with other members of the family, by saying lies to one member of the family, about another. She was also one of these people that thought she was so much better than anyone else, and had the right to tell everyone what to do. Some of the family just put up with it, for the sake of keeping the peace, but my parents wouldn't have any of it, and told her so, so she never spoke to them again.

Debbie, hope you enjoy your lunch out, with your old school friend. Is it Luke and Sophie's school sports day? I'm sure that they'll both do well in the events they are in.
How is your sister getting on? Hope she hasn't had any problems lately and that things are going along okay, for her.
It's too hot for me to be out in for too long, let alone walk far in it. I hope the lady soon felt better and rcovered by the time you all had a drink in the pub.


Huia, just wondering if you have managed to get into town today, and had a look in Evans. If you have, I hope you managed to get it all sorted.
Did you get something to eat before OH got home.

Mo, glad to hear that your granddaughter is getting along okay, it must be such a relief for you all. Although I'm sorry that things are not going so well for your nephew. You would think that he could get in touch with the hospital to let them know that things are not to good with him. Luckily, Jennie hasn't got anything as bad as your nephew, but the hospital always tells her that if she starts having any problems, she's to let them know that she's on her way in. Let's hope that they can sort things out for him when he goes to the hospital next.
Hope Roly and his team did well at darts last night. Is Thursday a regular darts night? If so, it looks as though Thursday is a popular night for both our hubbys night out.

I'm going to have a sandwich now, I'm a bit late today as I haven't felt like anything to eat until now, must be the hot weather.

Speak to you all later on.

Love and best wishes. Sallie.

Hello everyone. My what a busy thread it has been since I was on yesterday.

Sylvia, you little gad about, you certainly enjoyed yoursleves at the cabin didn't you. You only stayed there for three hours. Now what was the hurry to get back to the Motel,were you on a promise or something.LOL
Families are a complete mystery to me at times. My elders,seem to have had more tolerance with each other, unlike my kids. Four out of the five,get on very well. But they all seem to have a downer on the youngest. I know he can be a real spoilt brat at times, but he is their brother after all is said and done. But they have not got a good word to say about him, so when we see them, we tend not to mention him,as it only causes arguments.
The turquoise skirt that I bought Sylvia,I teamed up with a white broidery englaise top,and white shoes and bag. Not very eveningified though

Hi Debbie, how did Luke and Sophie get on today,at there sports events.
Well done to Daniel for his success yesterday.
My grandaughter got a 1st and a 2nd at the weekend at a meet at Cricklewood. I am not sure what races she was entered for,but my daughter rang and said she had been successful for a change.
They were talking about changing her event to the javelin as well,like Daniel.
I bet it was exhausting on your walk yesterday. No wonder someone came over feeling unwell,it has been so warm.

Sallie, every Wednesday and Thursday is Roly's darts nights out. It so nice and peaceful then,and I can watch what I want to on the t.v.
My ex sister in law and niece did ring the hospital, about my nephew being unwell. But because he had the radiotherapy,they say he has to wait till he has his next brain scan,to see if the tumour has shrunk.
Mind you,if it had been me,I would have put him in the car,and driven up there and demanded someone saw him.
But I cant make them do that unfortunately.

Liz, if you cant get the size that you want in that top,would you like me to take a look locally here for you. It's not a problem, as we have at least two branches near to us.
One in Chatham,and one in Sittingbourne.
But that Sophie Gray dress does sound lovely.
