Hi all, just popped in to wish everybody a good week, I'm exhausted and could do with a holiday,

Apart from horrid cough alls well here

Have fun

Just a quick message, got thrown off aol Sat night, and tried for an hour and a half to get back on, no luck so all behind with mails etc..
The prodigal son has returned and of course is flavour of the month till his mother gets tired of him scrounging and lying again, already affected things here with o.h. having a go at me, I have to be up early to go out Monday to an appointment so won't be here long, just wanted you all to know I was thinking about you all especially Betty, with your daughter's birthday, and Eileen, with your daughter's too, and Carole coming back here to sort us all out.
Welcome back Carole. O.h. off work for three days and so I won't get on here much till things settle down again, so don't think I am ignoring you, just take care,

I am so sad today, one of us has deleted a mass of posts. I know I have been guilty of this in the past and am sorry I did it now. I know I have come a long way and it is good to be able to go back and see the place I was in.

Okay we now have to build up the 5000 again.

Gail

Gail when I saw the number of posts I thought I was seeing things! I thought GR had had a blip. Now you have to watch carefully to make 5000 post again!
Been thinking of you while away. xx

Liz good luck today, hope you get a suprise and see someone new x

I'm so tired I dopn't want to go to work!

wishing you all a good day xx

Morning everyone, A nice frosty bright morning here today, Love and hugs to all that need them today.

I hope you all have a really good day, I am off out today, not sure how I will cope but I am meeting my cousin who found me through GR, she is in her late 70s, we meet up every 3 months or so, she travels down from London by train, we spend the day in town and then return home here for dinner which hubby cooks and then we drive her home, but he has been unwell for a week so she will be going home by train, I am a bothered by this as I'd never let my mum go by train alone, but my cousin regularly uses the trains and loves London, so I am hoping she will be ok.
My hubby has an abscess under a tooth, he is on anti biotics but it's taking its time working, he has had raging tooth ache since last week, the tooth is due to be pulled out in 3 days time. Its a little better this morning.

Love Gillie XXX

Hi Gillie, our OH's have the same problem with tooth abscesses. Unfortunately my OH's involves his bridge which is 4 teeth involved. The cost is appalling to fix his mouth. Wish I was a dentist.

Hope everyone is feeling better today.

Gail

Gillie, abcesses are horrible, the pain is terrific. I pity your poor OH.

Gail, any idea who deleted? Sad that isn't it? it may be somebody who has left GR, the posts would then delete. i have been back to mid Oct and only found two deleted.

Ann I do not think they are deleted when someone leaves. Squirrel/Gill's are still here and she has left us.

I know I deleted some early posts as someone on GR sent me a PM and said some sad things. If it happened now I would tell them to get lost.

I just wish I knew who has deleted. I hope they are okay, and that is my main worry.

Gail

Good afternoon to everyone.

Cold day here and very dull. Didn't get up til 1.30pm as I was in bed keeping warm lol
Well that's story, and I'm sticking to it.

Hope you all have a lovely day.

xx

Gail, you are right, Gills posts are still there I thought the posts disappeared when people left.

I too would like to know who has felt they had to delete. Can't think who is missing.

Ann

Not me

here in body if not in mind !!!!

Had my usual busy time friday at the centre. I now do research for members as well ( must be mad !! ) so that has kept me busy .I quite enjoy the research I just don't like the invoices and paper work + the charging .

It has turned really cold up here in scotland I even took pity on next door's cat and let him in today .My lovely boy went over nose to nose to say hello and bossy boots from next door spat at him !!!!

Well I am booked into register office tomorrow so must go sort out my papers .

Hope you are all well

love

I think it's our Claire missing. I too hope she is okay.

What a day!! I had to get the driver to stop the car this morning on the way to work, and go in the bushes!!
How embarrassing. :o(

Liz how did you get on? I'm back to see the psychologist Wednesday

Which Claire is that Carole, is it somebody new I have missed? Do you think she has deleted posts? wonder why?

Just saw a mention of tooth abcess.Just a thought.

About a year ago I had a tooth abcess,dreadful pain,three courses of anti-biotics,nerves taken out.
The pain returned as badly.

It turned out to be that a piece of tooth was somehow standing proud of the rest of the tooth,maybe a new filling had moved it,I don't know.

Well,this piece of tooth was being knocked every time I closed my mouth which isn't often.Anyway this managed to bruise all the tendons and cause dreadful pain of the intensity of an abcess.

The dentist did a bite test and drilled off the offending lump and it never hurt again.Not until he had done the expensive work first of course!

Just thought it was worth bearing in mind.

Hi Ann not Whitenancy but the other Claire, I think is missing.

Hi Sharron, how's things with you?

Anyone seen any news from Elaine?

Missing Betty, hope she will soon be back with us x

Kathy thinking of you x

Carol B holding you in my thoughts x

Liz you need some hugs (((xxx)))

Gail will get a letter to you soon. I've come home and fell asleep tonight xx

Y Caz Tinkerbell is on her way to you, hope she makes you smile xxx

Dutch you are quiet are you okay? x

Mary xx

Hi Sharron, OH has had Xrays and has 2 abscess and a tooth broken off from the bridge, one of his own teeth. I do know what you mean though as I had a tooth that I kept saying was too long, ignored of course and cracked the crown and so forth with extensive work and money. It ended up abscessed and had to be cut out anyway, by that time the tooth next to it had also become infected and cut out at the same time.

Carole, what lovely photos. There are very strong genes in your family as you can pick that you are related. It was just like being on the trip with you and really enjoyed seeing these.

Has anyone news of Deanna, and any news on our y/caz. Think of you and hope you are both on the mend.

Love and hugs to everyone, getting ready to see the doc.

Gail

Edited. Well wouldn't you know it, was just walking out the door to go to doctors appointment, they rang and cancelled. Can only do blood tests of a morning in the next town and doctor is going away for a few weeks so basically bugger off. Not happy and told them so as had the appointment booked since last week. On the plus side I stood up for my self for a change.

Edited

Gail

Gail you are doing well to stand up for yourself.
Have you had any more trips out?

Gale my second cousin in America looks very much like my mum. Their fathers are very similar looking, I felt like I was with my grandfather again!

Wish I could get over this tiredness, going back to same place as yesterday for work, hope I don't have to stop the car again! xx

Carole, I believe it takes about a week to get used to the difference in time zones. And your second cousin also has some of your features. There is no mistaking family. I think it is wonderful that you were able to meet. I am lucky as know all of my cousins, seconds thirds and some fourths. OH does not know many of his as they are mostly still in England, mainly Yorkshire.

I do not get the car much to get out and it took a bit of organisation just to get it for doctors appointment. OH is not happy as was called in for overtime which he had to decline because of me wanting the car.

I cannot wait for my scooter. That way I should be able to get around more.

Gail

hi
carole, it has always taken me at least a week to recover from jet lag. The important thing is to force yourself to stick to a normal routine - normal times of going to bed and getting up and no sleeping during the day. it will go eventually, the penalty you pay for a lovely holiday I'm afraid.

Still unsure which Claire you think it is. Only know Ice baby who is Claire, and Claire in Wales (MadMoo I think), not either of those is it?

Oh well, we have to hope they have deleted posts because they no longer need us. Keep going for the 5000 again.
