Morning

Well I was just going to post that it is lovely and sunny here this morning, and hey presto the clouds come and no sum all in a matter of minutes!! We now have thick clouds, could even rain.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break.

Off now to get my crafting bits back down in my dining room, hate having to pack it all away.

Jill hope your remaining lambs are all doing well.

Have a lovely day all of you

Hi all, no snow here thank goodness, just damp and cold, some sunshine though to brighten things up.

Not doing anything today as no shops open being easter Sunday, normally we would go for a walk but still not up to that so will work on my tree and make some cards I think.

Sorry you have problems Sylvia, hope the catheter, nasty as it is, will solve them for you. Glad Johan's birthday went off OK, at least you can eat the left over food today.

Jill, Aaw, lovely white fluffy little lambs, i bet they are sweet. well done Mummy sheep

Jo, do you normally suffer nose bleeds when you have a cold? My Dad used to. fortunately, so far, that is one thing i have not inherited from him -- Got his BP problems, don't want anything else!

Better get on, coffee time! Late today as we got up late and by the time we had showered and washed hair and put a load of washing in breakfast time was coffee time, so we will be late all day now! But who cares???
Happy Easter everyone

Morning all, just!!

Happy Easter

Jill congratulations on the safe arrival of your new lambs. Like Sylvia I would be wanting to bring them in to keep warm.

I know I will have far too much food for tomorrow when all the kids and Grandchildren arrive for the day, but I would rather have too much than run out!!

Have a good day all of you

Hi all,
Ah Jill, those poor little lambs coming into this cold world. Didn't you want to bring them indoors and put them on a nice warm blanket. I know I would.
Any congratulations on the new mums and their offspring, and of course Jill for helping as midwife!
Johan's birthday went off ok, but as usual too much food in the house, no wonder not many came because it fell in the Easter weekend.
Today I'm going to have as norma a day as possible.
Have a nice day everybody.

Good morning to you all and a very happy Easter xx
We had a busy day yesterday with Daisy giving birth to another set of twinsthen came home from a night out to find Lily had just started!
At 1.30 this morning her two little girls arrive and all mums and new borns are doing well and at last thats it for this year :)))
Hope you all have a good weekend planned.

xx Jill

Well we have snow and sunshine!!! Crazy weather. The wind is still gale force has been for the last 24 hours. Still no matter how bad it is it has not stopped hubby from going to play golf!!

Have a lovely Easter Weekend all of you.

Hi all,
Well winter is back with a vengeance. It has been snowing most of the day, not that it is settling, just turns to water when it hits the ground.
Sorry forgot to thank a few for their wonderful Easter cards, please forgive me.
My ex son in law came round late this afternoon for a drink.
This morning I went to the market but a lot of the market stalls weren't there because of the bad weather.
Have a nice evening.

Morning all, on the mend now, feeling a lot better, except for the nose bleed I have just had!!

Sylvia, sorry to hear that there is yet something else wrong, but at least that explains why you have had cystitis for so long!! Do not think I could catheter myself, but then it is like all these things, when you have to you just do, hope it all goes well for you.
Jill sorry to hear about Poodle, hope all the others are OK and you are not wearing yourself out getting up to feed the lambs. I know how I felt when my grandson stayed for the weekend, 2 nights of getting up for feeds, you forget whats it like!!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend off now to do some shopping.

Hi all,
Well just popped in to keep you up to date. We had a lovely wedding anniversary and our flat looks like a florists. Now Johan's birthday on Saturday and then will seriously think about going away for a few days.
I do have another health problem though. I had what they call a Urodynamic investigation into my bladder today and it seems that I cannot pass urine at all, so when my bladder is full it leaks, but that is all. I could have an operation but the doctor advises against this as it is a big operation in which they fit a sort of pacemaker to make the bladder work. The other option is to catheter myself 4 times a day. I dread this but there is no alternative at the moment. It is no wonder I have had cystitis for more than a year as my urine couldn't get away. Lots of headaches and fevers.
Johan went to the Hague today to a Veterans get together. He went away at 8.30 and returned 7.30 pm. He said he won't go again as it is so far away.
I had some flowers - an Easter arrangement - sent to my two daughters and granddaughter. It was yellow and white with eggs inbetween. It was for them a nice surprise, but then again I think it is nice to get a surprise and not just for birthdays.They all phoned me this afternoon and were thrilled. I prefer giving to receiving.
Now, I have read all your texts and forgive me for not referring to them all. I would say am thinking of all of you who are not well, and Jill with her lambs.

Good morning to you all, from a sunny but very cold Maine et Loire.
Need to get some dreaded ironing done today as its ready to become a major mountain,and then I can get down to making the invitation cards for Rémi's Christening on the 8th June.
We are combining the trip to the UK with seeing my parents on the Isle of Man, luckily we just miss the TT as it gets difficult getting to and from the house at certain times.
Hope you all have a good day

xx Jill

Jojo, hope you get better soon xx
Jill, I am sorry to hear about Poodle, hope the little lambs are ok xx

I've been making a circle journal for the last 2 days, well trying to.It's taking longer than I thought it would.

Hope everyone is ok,
I think we may need sledges for the weekend :))

Hi Jo, sadly Poodle died today , we did have the vet out a couple of times but all the stuff we were giving her didn't help.
Cannot give another's ones lambs away unless the mum rejects them and Molly , even though she cannot feed her two ,is very protective towards her two little ones .
Did manage to get one Ruby card made today in between feeds :))))

Hope everyones keeping well

xx Jill

Evening everyone, sorry have not been around very much, have not been well and am still having computer problems!! With the cost of repairs I could have bought myself two new one!!! Still don't have word or excel on this one.
Hope everyone is OK.
Jill sorry to hear Poodle lost her lambs, hope she is OK and also the rest. Can Poodle be a surrogate mum to Mollys lambs?

Happy Anniversary Sylvia and Johan, a little late.

Hope everyone is OK.

Good morning to you all and a Happy Anniversary, Sylvia and Johan xx

We have had a very busy morning as Poodle, one of our younger ewes , started having problems. We had to get the vet out and sadly ,two tiny lambs were born dead.
Our other two are doing well and taking a bottle every three hours, thought I was past all this baby lark with feeds :))))
We are now just waiting on Lily and Daisy and they look huge!
Off for our french lesson this afternoon but will be the last one for awhile, thank goodness.
Hope every ones keeping well

xx Jill

Ann, I just can't resist a bargain :)

I was talking to the checkout girl, she said they are closing some shops but not all, only the ones that aren't making money, fortunately the Crewe shop does quite well.

Hi everyone.
Heather, the works are in receivership aren't they? I saw the sets but resisted as we were on the bus and didn't want to carry too much. Anyway, i really didn't need any more as I have so much scrap book stuff to use already. But well done for finding it.
happy anniversary Sylvia and Johan.

Morning from a sunny Cheshire,

Jill hope the lambs are doing ok, sounds like you will be busy with them for a while.

If you look in Sylvia - Happy Anniversary to you and Johan xxxxxx Have a lovely day.

I managed to get to the Works yesterday and bought myself a couple of scrapbooking kits, bargains at £2.99 & £1.99 also a stamping book for 59p, which will come in very handy.

Hope everyone is well

Heather

Jill, I hope your little lambs thrive and that you don't get too tired feeding them.

Good evening ladies.
Very hectic over here as first two lambs were born on Thursday and Molly cannot feed them so we are out feeding every three hours :)))

Jo, the folder size is a little smaller than an A6 card but can put it through twice to double up size. I love my cuttlebug and have most of the embossing folders and a set of the Ophelia alphabet

xx Jill
