Hi Daff, No, no suggestions as to any treatment for wobbly teeth except advice on which plate to get when they eventually come out. You have to bear in mind that she is a locum and only with us until the end of October when her own practice will be ready to take over. I actually think one tooth is a lot more wobbly than the other two, and has been for a while. if that comes out I will not get a plate. I will only think about that when all three give up. I do try not to bite on that tooth.

I am sue it is going to be a worrying time when your nephew has to have his op, Harefield is an excellent hospital and I am sure will look after him well. Yes, a long way from swansea for his family, maybe he wont be in there for too long and hopefully the op will give him back a good quality of life.

Just been into town today, T not walking so well today so we have bought some special inserts for his shoes to see if they help. I hope they do, they are not cheap.. couldn't do all I wanted because he was obviously suffering, so we went to Weatherspoons and had steak and kidney pudding and chips (very slimming) and a bottle of red. Bought some soft herring roes to have on toast tonight in the indoor market, and a blue polo shirt (Maine) in Debs sale. Oh yes and a set of sheets in debs sale, same as we have already which we bought in their last sale!!
Weather not too bad here, sun shining at the moment but it is very windy, albeit a warm wind, garden will need a good tidy up after this.

Hello Daff and belated birthday greetings Mr Daff, hope you had a nice day...
we just got back from our hols,, rather than clog this thread up if you would like to hear all about it read Just Jean thread.. ...

Ann, sorry to hear about you dental problems, I need to book in too....
you have been busy with your cards, I am going to take some craft stuff to Llandudno in 4 weeks, I bought ( or rather J bought it me ) a craft tote it was a great bargain its quite a large one, I had been looking for one for ages, and they were very expensive, so I had a ACE catolouge through the post. and it was in there great price.... we are going for two weeks, so give me something to do at night..... will you stand the cards up and take a photo for me ,pretty pleases....

B.C. hope you have great time , and enjoy your corned beef meal....

Thinking about all the other peeps on here wiyh various happenings in their lives... sending love and prayers...

love Jean xx

Hi Jean, read the account of your holiday on the other thread and pleased you seem to have enjoyed it, sounds a very relaxing place, but what a nuisance to leave the bag behind, hope you get it back. Can they put it on a train for you or something? Is there anyone on GR who lives near Ludlow who can retrieve it for you?

Remind me next week and I will take a photo of a few, can't fit all 40 done so far onto a photo. Lucky you getting a tote at a bargain price.

Daff is R having his birthday meal tonight? or are you having a family celebration for him?

Ann xx

That Daff has gone AWOL today, bet she is joining R in a glass or two (or three) to celebrate his birthday!!

Evening all... well.... what a to-do, lol.. B cooked R's dinner for us... he makes more mess in the kitchen than I do, . and that is saying something, lolol... R's special birthday dinner was.... egg, bacon, hash browns, sausage, beans, black pudding and toast... very slimming!! lolol

We are off to bed soon... me cos it's my normal time... R cos he has had a busy week, and I kept him awake with my snoring (as if... they dddd so exaggerate, don't they?) last night.... as I pointed out, I only snore when in a light sleep.. if I am out for the count, not a snore nor a snuffle to be heard. So his restlessness must have kept me half awake, don't you agree? lol... poor man, he'll never win!!

Right.... off to bo bo's.

Love

Daff xxxx

So B's signature dish is the same as T's then?

lololo... yep... although he does a very mean chicken and tomato pasta dish.... scrummy!!

Night night...... hope T's foot feels better soon.

Love

Daff xxxx

morning everyone lovely fresh morning here

Good morning, everyone, thinking of you all in various ways.

My favourite meal in Galway recently was boiled bacon and cabbage.

Morning Joy, Morning Maz...... ~~~~~~~~ to everyone.... the weather here looks promising... it rained yesterday evening and through the nigh, not heavy but enough to moisten the soil and make it easier to grab those weeds... that is what is on my list today.

I am hoping R and B will *hoover* up those leaves....... I do so get tired of nagging...... but needs must... I still can't do them, as they are mainly the diseased horse chestnut, and I don't want to risk it....... also, I think my snuffles are an allergy of some sort... they haven't developed into anything dramatic, but are still there.... hayfever-ish. They eased after taking anti histamine, so I did a Sherlock Holmes thingy and deduced it.!!

Yesterday, I spent 4 hours finding my way around Ancestry.... it was very slow... but my uncle, whose date and year of birth I know... nowhere could I find his birth, initially... then I realised that as he was born quite late in a quarter (mid march) he may have been registered the quarter after.... doh!! There he was... but he still hadn't turned up in a search, which he should have done.

Now I just need to work out which of two marriages were his parents... he died a few years ago, and was an *in-law* so no-one left to ask, now *sigh*

I must concentrate on the garden today, though.

See you all later.

Love

Daff xxxxxx

Morning Daff and all, back home so must get some washing done , we had glorious weather, and as soon as we were setting off to come home it poured , hope you are well Daff, I really would like to see some photos of your garden and your scrapages, I am going to try and get some of mine done also I thought this year I would make the Christmas cards again havent done any for about two years, but thanks to Anns scrapbook thread I have got the bug again, only wish I hadnt got rid of all my many bits of craft stuff which I now have to buy again, but that was a long time ago before I joined this site.... it is fun though starting all over again, and expensive...still I cant take it with me.... lol... have a good day folks ....

love Jean xx

morning all
hope you have all enjoyed your weekend it is grey here and quite dark

Morning all... grizzly here, too...... never mind, we had a beautiful September, so mustn't complain.

Jean, I shall send some photos of the garden.... give me about half an hour, lol... and of the finished page... didn't like the second, so am going to tweak it a bit.

Glad you had a lovely time... beautiful in that area, isn't it?

Maz, are you handing your file in today? Good luck, if you are.

Not sure what to do with myself today... had a very long phonecall from brother (the one who had the stem cell transplant two years ago) and that has exhausted me.... he is very worried, but is also aware that he is certainly not *ill* in the same way as he was last time he relapsed. But you can't help worrying. The bane and the beauty of coming from a large family, lol!!

R & B (they sound like a rock band, don't they?) cleared the leaves, yesterday, bless them... it looked lovely for a couple of hours... then we had some windy weather and hey presto!! Back to how it was with new leaves falling, lolol

I might pop down to Homebase.... this time last year we were putting Kitchen cupboards up, lol... the kitchen hasn't been finished, so R was talking about getting it sorted this year, in time for Christmas. See them pigs flying past the window? lolol

Right... must go and sort something out for dinner tonight..... and put a load of washing in the dryer.

Take care, and have a lovely day, everyone.

Love

Daff xxxx

Daff I have the page its lovely, good on you for having a go , experiment is the way to go.... couldnt get the other photo though , Ann sent me one also cant get on that on either, could be me doing it wrong although I have never had trouble before, so I will wait till my daughter gets home, she will sort it for me... although she will have a go at me....lol....thank you....

Love Jean xx

Jean I have sent some more... I was told to reduce the number of photos... so have just sent the first four in that group.... I still haven't found the ones I took recently, all in bloom... they seem to have gone through ok!

My Mailer wotsit said that either your mailbox was full... or I was sending too many in one go.

Love

Daff xxxx

Hooray got them, hasnt your hunky friend made a good job of it?It will look lovely when all the plants take hold, wish I had one like that.,I really miss my garden but at least i hve some tubs and pots, I will take asnap of them and send them to you.... love Jean xx

That is what I am looking for, now... the photos I have taken since I started the planting... it really is beginning to take shape, now, and in a year or two will look fabulous, I hope... it is hard work at the moment, but not as hard as it was before the landscaping. He has done well, hasn't he? I am very pleased with it.

I have some photos of the landscaping completed just before I was diagnosed last year.... some of them are on my Facebook... there is a way og (edit: of, even, lol)giving you the link so you can see them... not sure how, though... I'll play with it, lol!!

Love

Daff xxxx

Aw bless him, Maz.... that'll be brilliant for him.... and for you too, as you'll be able to stop worrying about him over-doing things.... good luck with your file... I know how much hard work goes into them, and you've had to do it twice, through no fault of your own.

Love

Daff xxxxx
