All about cuts to spending. Our esteemed prime minister is cutting costs to everything - including welfare payments and defense spending :-(

Tec - we go down to Hobart a week from Saturday. Aiden is so excited - he has the whole visit planned.

Our son in Hobart is hoping to buy the business he is managing. The owner is wanting to sell before long and has offered my son first refusal.

That is really silly Sue

I think that's what is needed, Linda. We need to be vocal about what we need and have a right to. Our doctor told us that the government had advised specialists to cut the number of operations for cataracts over the age of 70 - the prime age for that operation. He was disgusted by that.

I made my feelings known to the young doctor and I will when I go back to see the consultant

Hello Sue - Glad you haven't run away, we need you here to keep order. :-D

Hello :-) I definately haven't run away with the man next door - perish the thought :-0

We had intermittent Internet yesterday so I gave up :-|

Linda - OH was told much the same thing when he saw a specialist about his knee. Thankfully he was able to have surgery. I think it's all about funding so the "prioritise". They see young people as more in need of the surgery. It's so annoying because we are still productive well into our 70's.

Maybe it's best - to just be confused :-D

It's probably better for your knee to stay at home and get some rest, rather than building fences or other things you might get found to do.

I am confused as well, so join the club

I'm sure that she does - something must have cropped up, or even IT problems.

Wasn't she going to Hobart sometime? or has she been?

for Aiden's birthday I think.

I am confused :-(

OH has arrived safely.

I need to phone my sister, so will be back anon

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 26 Feb 2015 20:57

No, she is dedicated to her OH, she just doesn't want to talk to us anymore :-(

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 26 Feb 2015 20:52

The first day she was working at the hospital I think,

but I don't know where she was yesterday :-0

Maybe she's run away with the man next door :-D

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 26 Feb 2015 20:49

I wonder where Sue is? She didn't come to talk to us yesterday

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 26 Feb 2015 20:48

No I can't :-0

Surely to goodness you could manage to stagger to the front door,

then crawl back to bed :-D

LindainHerriotCountry Report 26 Feb 2015 20:44

I dont think they deliver direct to bedrooms :-(

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 26 Feb 2015 20:41

Perish the thought that you should have to make you're own.

Phone the local hostelry and get them delivered :-)
