General Chat

Evening ladies,

Sylvia, hope you continue to get better x

Sorry I don't get on here much, mobile internet is not the best where I live :(

Had a few busy weeks looking after hubby after his op (tightening of the top of his stomach, to stop reflux), he is getting better, but whole new different way of eating, which the consultant has said will take months to get used too. But his quality of life is so much better has he now gets a full nights sleep.

My craft friends christmas cards are done, thank goodness.
I'm off to the NEC next Thurs with my cousin, just to have a look at new products and more than likely spend too much :) it's a day out, so looking forward to it.

Anyway will post again soon, take care everybody, hope all of my cards have been received,

Heather xx

Evening Ladies just back from a week in Cornwall. Unfortunately some idiot hit my car on the way down typical boy racer, torrential rain and we are stationery on the motorway and he did not notice my braking or hazard lights hit me straight up the back pushing me into another car, luckily no one was injured just damage to three cars!! Still did not let it spoil our holiday.

Hope everyone is keeping well.

And no I still have not started my Christmas cards!! Like you Ann I have loads to make, still will get stuck in soon.

Heather hope your hubby is recovering well after his surgery, unfortunately most men do not make very good patients!!
I will be sending out a mail regarding the cards received by Flo and Lizz tomorrow. Enjoy your day at the NEC.

Take care

Sylvia hope you can find the thread soon.

Nudge for Sylvia

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, I've managed it once again. Thanks girls for nudging me up.
I've been doing some more cards today as it's quite an effort if I want to go out as the lift maintenance men are installing a new lift which means I have to walk to the other side of the flats to use their lift. On Fr iday I sent Johan out shopping, but I prefer to do my own shopping.
My granddaughter phoned to say she is coming on Tuesday evening and having dinner with us. It will be lovely to see her again.
My eldest daughter who is in south Africa at the moment seems to be having a wonderful time and will have lots to tell us when she gets home.
The weather is cold, wet and miserable at the moment.
Our garden centres are advertising their Xmas goods already.
I actually baked an apple/cinnamon cake today and also a dark brown loaf of bread. Getting back to normality slowly but surely!!
Keep well everybody and for those who are sick get better soon.

So pleased to see that you finally made it back to us Sylvia!!!!

You seem to be very busy again at the moment back to your cooking which always sounds so lovely especially the bread and cakes you make. I have stopped making bread as I found I was eating too much, just couldn't resit it when I had made it, no will power!!

Well it isn't raining today but is overcast and not very warm, still not bad for November. Had no halloween callers last night, but while I was visiting my sister she had so many she ran out of sweets and chocolate and had to give them packets of crisps. At least they were all dressed up and the little ones looked lovely most of the parents were dressed up as well, some very unusual outfits!

Hope everyone is OK and keeping warm

What horrible weather we are having at the moment cold, very wet and windy, hope you are all keeping nice and warm, apart from Christine who I should imagine is nice and warm anyway! Still not started my Christmas cards, really must get a move on or can see I will be doing them Christmas Eve!!


Hope everyone is keeping well.

Thought I would rescue our thread from near oblivion.

Getting near the end of my card making now, about 140 made this year. I have made several using some nice pieces from last years cards so i feel virtuous recycling. Hope people don't think they are getting second hand cards though..
Have to start on Grandsons scrap book soon or that wont be finished. thank goodness for Amazon for Christmas shopping or none of it would get done.

Thought it would not be good for me to post 3 back to back!!

Vertigo is not good at the moment so not spending much time on the computer.

Weather is awful, but then I would imagine it is for everyone else, it is so cold here this week, at least a couple of days of sun, but today is rainy.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Joxx

Sorry about the vertigo Jo, it must be very frustrating for you.

It is sooooooo frustrating and debilitating as cannot plan anything in advance as just do not know when it will come on. Now have to take tablets every day to try to keep it at bay, but the are obviously not working!

Weather here is lovely and sunny today, hope it is where you are.
Joxx

Jo, Do they know what has caused it? It is fairly recent isn't it? Maybe you need to change the medication. Have you tried taking travel pills? That is what my daughter in law had for a bout of it.

Yes the new medication is Stugeron, I take up to 4 a day when I get an attack and on other days take one in the morning and one at night and this is the first attack I have had since going on these but it is always just below the surface, I always feel just slightly dizzy. Think I need to go for a brain scan!

Still have started my Christmas cards at last!

Joxx

Glad you have been able to start your cards. Hope the medication 'wears in' so that it workds for you. Is that a travel sickness pill? The name is familiar.

Yes it is the travel sickness one, just makes me so thirsty all the time. Still I suppose I just have to accept that it is something I am going to suffer with and get on with it!!
On the card front I have got 40 half done, am waiting for some self adhesive glitter card to arrive to finish them. That will only leave me another 50 to do! Also have a few birthday cards to make for birthdays in December. Good job that I have all the birthday girls cards made, one last thing to think about.

Its my 40th wedding anniversary at the weekend and have lots of family coming for a party, just hope my vertigo stays asleep!


Very cold here again today, already below freezing outside.

Joxx

Ann thanks for the beautiful card it was a lovely surprise. We had a lovely day with all the family, only thing was I did most of the catering!! Still I really enjoyed it, but was exhausted the next day.

Joxx

Glad you had a good day Jo and that the card arrived OK.

Well, I have finished most of my Christmas cards, the BG's are all written and stamped!! Just have a few special ones for the grandchildren to make, now I need to get my brain in gear as they expect something better than previous years.
Very cold here again tonight good frost already.

Keep warm ladies.
Joxx

Morning ladies, well another freezing start to the day, but the sun is shining now but still so cold, love these sorts of winter days, cold but sunny, makes me feel so good!! I know, I am strange!! Daughter just asked me to make her a Christmas cake, I asked her back in September if she wanted me too, but she was going to make her own this year...... Well here we are nearly December and she still has not made it and now she wants me to, so off to get the ingredients.

Have a good day all of you
