Evening Sylvia sounds like you have been very busy day, make sure you don't over do it, don't want you back in hospital!! No card making for me have been out all day and have only just arrived back from daughters, and I am so tired I am off to bed in a few minutes. Have to make my granddaughters 9th birthday cake tomorrow ready for her party on Saturday, which she is having for some reason at my house. Then I have a large 40 cake to make for my daughter for mid week, need to get it made and in the freezer so that it will be easier to ice and transport! I keep telling myself I will get my cards made........ Just need some spare time.........

Here we are again. It has been lovely weather here today, but I had to stay in with so many commitments. I was, however, out yesterday and it was good to get out.
I had the girl first to come and help me wash and dress and the central heating mechanic who has put in all new bits which makes it easier to turn the heating on. I had my hairdresser who gave me a perm, I had my help in the house. The man came from the hospital to fetch info on my mask. I made a large pan of thick Dutch pea soup. Must get down to more cards now. Fortunatley I started card making early this year.
My daughter has found an English shop in Hilversum and they have just about everything English you could think about - must pay them a visit soon.
See you again tomorrow.

Sylvia, do not even think about making the group birthday cards, we all understand how poorly you have been. It is lovely to see you back on here posting, and that you are now feeling so much better, poor Johan, he will need a holiday now to get over the shock. I did write to your daughter to say thank you for letting us know that you were poorly in hospital, hope she could understand me. Make sure you take it easy and look after yourself and get plenty of rest.

Lovely to see you posting and you do sound better Sylvia. You did have us worried for a while. Please thank your daughter for notifying us where you were. Poor Johan, it must have been so worrying for him. Will they give you a new mask now? It sounds as if you need one. Don't panic about Christmas cards, I am sure your friends on here will understand if we don't receive one from you this year.

I hope that you continue to feel better and that you enjoy christmas. :-)

Just a few words from me. Yes, my stay wasn't planned In fact I don't know much about it. I lost a few days in my memory. Poor Johan had nightmares. He couldn't get a doctor or ambulance to take him seriously when I was in a deep sleep. I was in intensive care for 12 days . I suffer from apneu and have to sleep with a mask but this mask has not been functioning well. A bit like putting your face on to te back of an exhaust car and and dying from the fumes.
I was really spoilt in Intensive care and it was pure ouxury - even an air bed. I now have lost a terific amount of weight - what a good thing I had it to loose!
I managed to keep the nurses both male and female laughing in the Intensive care. Anyway it is good to be home again. Am now doing catch up on Xmas cards. Sorry girls - those I didn't send birthday cards too - better luck next time.
My house doctor came in last Friday and spent 2 hours with me apologising saying he had made a huge mistake in thinking I was going dement. He takes all the blame. It was nice to hear him do that. I said everybody can make a mistake and said I had forgiven him.
For those who sent me cards may I say a big thank you.
Will close for now. Love Sylvia xxx

Sylvia, like Ann, I am so pleased that you are home with Johan and even thinking about making cards!! I am so far behind with my Christmas cards, will be making them Christmas Eve at this rate.

Joxx

Sylvia I am pleased to hear that you are now home and still with us. We were all worried about you. :-)

Yes Ann the Christmas lists went out last week, will resend to you.
I am just going to make a card to send to her, Johan will be going to visit her so can take it on to her.

Jo, have you sent out the christmas lists yet? have I missed them?

Poor Sylvia she has had a bit of a rough time this past year and then with her face being so bruised after her teeth problems. I will send her a card I think.

From the email Ann, I assume that it was definitely not planned and that it could be a while before we hear anything. Her daughter speaks English but has difficulty writing it.

Joxx

Hi all,
I was sorry to get the email saying that Sylvia is in hospital. I don't think it was a planned stay was it? I hope it won't be too long before she is back out again.

Hi Jo, yes everything is fine thanks. Have finished making Christmas cards and back to birthday cards now. As I have made over 150 I don't put inserts in all of them.

Have we had the Christmas groups yet? I haven't missed them have I. No problem it is just I have missed a couple of e mails swapping between this main pc and my IPad.

Hope the double glazing goes ok.

Ann x :-)

Ann, hope everything went well for you. I have made all my birthday cards through to next April, was on a roll and just kept going, only thing have not finished one Christmas card yet, have 50 half made, just need finishing touches and inserts, now I need to get the rest made, its just finding the time at the moment as I am so busy with one thing or another. Have packed all my crafting goodies away as having new double glazing fitted next week, so will have to wait a whole week before I can get it all back out and get moving on my cards.

Hope your weather is OK , mild here at the moment, lets hope it doesn't bring more rain.

Hugs Joxx

Ooh Sylvia, that sounded painful, I hope by now your face is back to normal and that you feel better.
Sorry not to have been on for a while, we were in Tenerife for two weeks and it has been manic with various appointments since we got home. I now have 4 stitches in my thigh where yet another small rodent ulcer was removed last Thursday, stitches due to come out next Monday (29th) and at the same time I have to have my right ear syringed. (really looking forward to Monday morning as you may guess).

I have made 135 Christmas cards and am now halfway through an 8x8 scrap book of Grandson's wedding, I usually do 12x12 books so it is strange having to think small. Have also made birthday cards for a few months ahead.

Hope you are all well and keeping busy craftwise. :-D

Glad to see you back on the site Sylvia. Hopefully some of the swelling and bruising has gone down now and you are feeling a little better.

Weather here sunny but very cold, we had a good frost last night, now we know winter is on its way.

Must get started on my Christmas cards, have made all my birthday cards up to Feb, so in advance on them, but have not started my Christmas ones yet.
Joxx

Hi all, yes it's me I'm back again.
It is a good thing that you cannot see me as my face is swollen and
blue all over. I have my new teeth in, but only just. I had my teeth out on Friday - yesterday.
I will write more when I feel like it. Syl

Sylvia, I take it you are still having problems, hope you can get back on here soon, I will keep nudging the thread.

Joxx

Evening ladies, So long since my last post, time really flies when you are busy!! Hope you are all keeping well and your weather is not too bad, very mixed here at the moment, with lots of rain in between the sunshine.

Not sure if Lizz comes on this site, but Happy Birthday!!

Take care all of you

Love Joxxx

Hello all, happy birthday to the birthday girls Berniece and Patricia.
