Hello Sylvia, good to see you. I hope that you enjoyed your beauty session and that your face now feels lovely and smooth. (as my Mum would say like a baby's B**.

I hope you manage to stay on line and can decide what you want to do re a new pc or whatever. I have missed seeing your posts on here. :-)

Evening Sylvia and Ann, good to see you both here. Sylvia hope you manage to sort out your computer problem as Ann said we miss you when you are not posting messages. Your beauty session sounds lovely it must be so relaxing, lucky you.
Have thought about Christmas cards, but that is all just thought but need to come up with some ideas first. Have managed to catch up with my birthday cards finally, but now need to start on September ones as have quite a few next month including 3 grandchildren to make for.
Enjoy the rest of your week :-)

Hi everybody,
I was surprised whWhat funny weather we are having. Tis afternoon there ws suddenly a gust of wind, like Autumn, and it was dark very early.en I read the list of cards Ann received that my name wasn't on the list. Ann, honest injun, I did send you a card. Will send another.
What funny weather we are having. This afternoon it was like Autumn and a gust of wind blowing leaves from the trees and the sky dark.
I am still busy with several doctors. I do wish I could get away for a few days, but almost impossible at the moment.

Sylvia, don't worry about it, our post is very unreliable, things go missing all the time.

Sylvia love the 'honest injun' havent hear that for ages, brought back so many lovely memories. Weather here very mixed as well and also it is getting dark so early now seems like autumn is on its way.

Hi all,
Today I could kick myself. I had just finished 5 new birthday cards and then I dropped a cup of tea over them.
Yesterday I went out and bought us a new coffee making machine. I am afraid the last two I bought I went in for "cheap and cheerful"and am now paying for my being thrifty!
I also want to buy myself a tablet and Samsung have just brought out a new one. Because this is an expensive item I am making sure I know a bit about what I am buying. I am asking all friends to tell me exactly what these tablets can do. The shop where I bought the coffee machine had a special offer for a tablet but it was the same make as the new one which has just come out so that will be out of date and I don't want that.
I want to be able to make photos and send them by e-mail and internet etc.etc.
Any dos and donts girls?
Have a nice evening, love Sylvia xxx

Sorry Sylvia I cannot help as I do not have a tablet, just my laptop and my phone. Use my phone for most things as it is on the internet and I can do everything I need to do, it is just small!! Would not be without my laptop though, it is portable and I can take it in the garden when the weather is nice and it still picks up a good signal. Daughters both have Ipads and they love them but can sometimes be difficult to print from them. Hopefully someone that has one will reply to give you much better information than I can.

Hallo girls,
Yes, it is me writing from a wet, windy evening. Well it has been terrible weather all day, a mixture of sun ,wind, showers.
I have been home all day just doing what I fancied - made a apple, cinnamon cake and cooked some apricots and cut up lots of red grapefruits - if I don't cut them up before they never get eaten!
I shall be glad when the doctor has been next Monday to give me an injection for my cold shoulder.
The time is drawing nearer now for my operations. Eye operation, small opening on my stomach for my catheter and to finish off the implanting of teeth in my mouth.
The workmen have been working outside here for a few weeks now, but yesterday was the worst day as they turned off the hot water and it only came on again at 7.00 pm. We have what they call "town heating".
I have made around 20 Xmas cards, so hope to be on time this year.
Will close for now, t hinking of you all,
Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, Hi, I have an IPad and I have to say it does what I want it to. It also takes good photos, but I have a connection that I can plug into the IPad and download photos from my camera card. I can also send photos by email from the IPad. Having said that you really need somebody to actually show you how all these things work.

Cloudy here in Tenerife today, we are here for 4 weeks,n2 down,n2 to go. I have just made a few cards while OH watches the football. :-D

Lucky you Ann, the weather here is just like it is for Sylvia, so you are not missing anything except the cold!!
Sylvia, hope all the operations go well, are they doing everything at once or are they all different ops in stages, which ever you take care.
I will start my Christmas cards soon, I must make a few birthday cards first though as I have lots coming up this and next month.
Take care
Love Joxx

Hi Girls
Surprise its me Margaret been reading some of your threads not many of you which is a shame , i will try to get on a bit more.
Lots have been going on with me health issues with my back but i wont bore you with that .
We are having work done on the house and a new wet room as i am finding it hard to get in the bath well when we did have the bath the bathroom at the moment is like a bomb site only the toilet remains lol
love margaret from kent

Hi all,
Well I'm just alive. I was operated on last week - they said a small cut which took 90 minutes instead of 15 and have ended up with a burnt area - don't know how to call it in English. I am extremely tired but have to be fit for 9 October for my eye operation, then I still go every Tuesday for my new implant teeth.
I have little time for myself but have managed to make some Xmas cards.
Nice to see you Margaret. Margaret, why do you bother with a bath? I much prefer a shower - cleaner too! In a bath you sit in your own foul. I know everybody is going to jump on me now, but then this is what I think.
Well I think summer has come back for a few days as we had a lovely sunny day today.
Bye bye for now
Sylvia xxx

Home now, found it chilly yesterday but warmer today.

Margaret, good to see you back on here. This is a slow moving thread these days as there are so few of us, but we try to keep in touch.

Sylvia one op over, was that by a local anaesthetic or a general? Hope you feel ready for the eye op.

Jo i have quite a few Christmas cards made but need to get down to making a few more. Think I have enough birthday cards made for now. :-)

Lovely to see you on here Margaret. Most of the members are on Facebook, but I am afraid I am no longer a member there. Hope you are keeping comfortable with your back, I know it has been very painful for you. I got rid of my bath some years ago much prefer the room I gained in the bathroom which meant we could have a bigger shower cabinet, we did not want a wet room.
Sylvia one op down, make sure you rest before your op on your eyes.

Weather here has been lovely for the last four days, foggy first thing then once the sun breaks through it has stayed lovely and warm till dusk. This evening the wind has got up a little but it is still sunny.
Ann like you I have most of my birthday cards made through till Christmas, but still have several special ones to make for daughter, daughter in law, 2 granddaughters, grandson, goddaughter and 2 sisters!! Keep putting them off as I have little in the way of new ideas for them. Wish I had never wrote them down looks even worse now that I have put it in writing! Have not even thought about Christmas cards yet.
I will get the Christmas groups, if that is what everyone wants out in the next week.
Have a good week everyone
Love Joxx

Hi all,
I went to the hospital the other day and at the entrance to the hospital some car, travelling too fast, dashed in front of me and there was a terrific bang. I had hit him on the side and caused a huge dent in his new car. He was an elderly man and I had to sit with him whilst he filled in his insurance papers.
He asked for all my details, but my scootmobile is property of the Council so it is nothing to do with me further.
I don't know how I managd to keep on the scooter and to keep so calm, but I did. Johan was behind but didnt want to get involved.
I told the driver I had an appointment with the doctor and that he could phone me in the evening and have heard nothing yet.
Never a dull moment here!
So many people rushed up to me and were surprised when I didn't have a mark on me.
See you soon, love Sylvia xxx

Neve a dull moment with you Sylvia. Glad you are ok, that could have been nasty.

Sylvia, you are so lucky to still be alive after that, as Ann has already said never a dull moment!! You take care hope the rest of your appointments all go well for you.

Hallo all,
Well trying to cope with so many things.The op on my eye was also not normal - I have a plastic??? lens now. Sorry don't know the English word for it
The burnt/scorched wound on my stomach is now showing signs of improvement The nurse in charge of such wounds in the hospital cut away some dead skin. i had terrible diarrea for two days so asked the urologist to change my tablets so now have patches taped to my stomach and at the moment that is ok. I went to the dermatologist today and don't have to go back to him as my feet are good.
I think by Xmas I should be more or less finished with all the specialists.
I have a good stock of birthday cards and doing well with Xmas cards so am pleased with that.
Jo, could you run a new list of members out please as I think the list I have is out of date. Sorry if I've mislaid the good one.
The weather has been dry today so hope it stays that way for the weekend.
Love to you all.
Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, great to hear that your eye op went well, hope that it has improved your vision. I have emailed you a list of members hope it arrives ok.
Weather here awful at the moment rain and more rain with very strong winds. Once again a wet weekend. Still for could mean more crafting but unfortunately I have two of the grandchildren staying for a few days as it is school holidays so no crafting for me till next week when I am going to Cornwall for the week so hopefully plenty of crafting ahead. Will start my Christmas cards - hopefully!!
Have a good week
