Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good Morning wet and windy here. Spending the day at homr

Hi Barmeyoldbat better late than never! Glad you managed to catch up on some much needed sleep in the end.

Good late afternoon. I have to hold my hand up that I slept until nearly 10.30 this morning after several days of back and stomach pains. Yesterday was a terrible day, but I managed to sleep well with aid of a hot water bottle.

So getting up with no pain I decided to do a bit of gentle work around the house but ended up with me sat glued to the TV watching Wales play in the rugby. Then out for a light lunch and now back home resting as the pain is just starting to come back, so hot was bottle treatment.

I do salute all grandparents who do such a lot of childcare, and also hope that they are much appreciated and not taken for granted. Bless your SIL for offering childcare next week.

Marydoll, thank you. Have recovered well from my prolapse repair, but it is the painful hip/ back that is really getting me down.

Susan56 ?

Auntieflo, fortunately, DS1 and DIL are off this week, so a break for me. My dear SIL has offered to step into to cover next week, if I don't pick up.
I hope you are making good progress.

Morning Michael, Annie, and all.
Dry and bright here, although it started out like that yesterday, then absolutely poured with rain in the afternoon.
I have a blood test booked for late morning, and not sure if I can walk there, so may have to get DH to drive me instead.
To Marydoll, you will have to stop doing all this childcare, when you need some yourself. ?
Dragonfly, good luck with whatever the Drs have in mind for you.
Gillybob, ?that your washer part arrives today.
Another day of doing nothing . Oh joy.
DH has just said it is now raining!
Have a good day one and all

Good morning,

It’s turned wet in the last five minutes. I think it’s going to be one of those showery days today.

To all feeling unwell, I hope you soon feel better, and Marydoll, I’ve crossed fingers that you improve between now and Friday so you can have your angiogram.

I’ve got to wait around for the alarm engineer coming later this morning. A fault has developed so that it keeps bleeping when it shouldn’t, going off any time it feels like it!

Tonight my SiL’s will be calling round for a coffee and chat. Hardly seems a week since we went to the pictures to see Downton Abbey.

Hope today is a good one.

Morning All

Sending happy and healing vibes to all those who’re feeling miserable and/or under the weather. There seems to be a lot of it about at the moment (perhaps it’s our ages).

Overcast here in Norfolk today so DH has suggested we go to see Downton. I can’t do much anyway, yesterday afternoon I went to have my regular sports massage, which keeps my back working, and I could hardly get up the stairs last night! Very stiff and sore today, but I should be back to normal tomorrow. My fault for leaving it a couple of weeks too long.

Washing out, though if I am not careful it will come in even wetter but I believe laundry needs fresh air before a winter of tumble drying. marydoll posting to send you get well quick if you can wishes. To everyone feeling poorly I sympathise having just had a bug, been unable to eat and tossed and turned feeling unwell. Plucking up the courage to ... have a slice of toast! susan56. Pram pushing sounds lovely because everyone will say hello. Best wishes to everyone else.

Good morning Aunty Flo and all x

So cold this morning

Hope everyone has a good day x

Urmston,thank you?I have taken your advice and messaged my daughter.We are going over later and looking after baby while she has a rest and then having a takeaway for tea.
Love this friendly thread.Sometimes another person can see what we can’t and what will help.

Good morning from east London, grey but dry so far. Not my turn for Wednesday tennis so will keep going stripping my tomato plants. Had a wander around Kings X yesterday with my friends after lunch having seen the mess around Euston that is HS2. There is some impressive landscaping going on, not just trendy new shops and offices. Anyway, school pickup later, gymnastics after and maybe even a visit to a carpet shop. Dragonfly, I looked on oncology as a belt and braces move and I took delight in describing it to people as my FEC-king treatment after the chemicals used. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a dry NE.
DH usually meets old work colleagues on a Wednesday and I catch up with TV.
Need to get my sister's birthday present to her as she is going away for her birthday, I don't think she has ever celebrated at home.
Thinking of you gilly and all poorly people.

Good morning everyone from sunny South Manchester. It’s a lovely mild start here. I have a dental appointment in an hour, nothing all day (nice) then we are over to visit friends this evening. Their eldest son gets married in a couple of weeks and I shall enjoy hearing how their plans are going. We are invited to the wedding with both of our daughter’s and their husbands - a real family doo!

Sorry to hear so many of us lot on here are feeling unwell. I hope all with illness or worries feel better soon.

gillybob I hope the washer part arrives today for you and that it is the right one!

Susan56 do go over to see your grandchild today. Take the baby out for a stroll in the pram and give the new parents a rest if need be - it will cheer you at the same time.

Hope Wednesday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Good morning Mick and everyone. Nice morning here on Anglesey.

Sorry to hear of your problems Marydoll and Dragonfly. Hope they are resolved as well as can be expected!

Decided not to make myself available for work today, as I have had a horrible cold for the last 3 days when I did my "other" job. Got through it somehow.

Worried for my daughter this morning. She's left her husband of one year and is living with friends while everything is sorted out. She's meeting him today to discuss what they're going to do, but she's told me that she wants to start again and will move in with a friend with work. I'm worried about how he will react. He recently self-harmed when she suggested she needed "some space". I've told her to take a friend with her and definitely her phone.

I'm still trying to understand it all and I always got on well with him, but I didn't live with him obviously. Just hope everything can be sorted out amicably!

Take care everyone. Am currently watching a spider climbing up and down his web! Will put him in the garden later.

Pantglas2 - where are you in North Wales? I know there's a village called Pantglas where Bryn Terfel came from!

Enjoy yourselves everyone!xxxxxxxx

Good Morning from a wet Fife, the rain last evening was awful and it doesn't look much better for today. There's seems to be quite a few not feeling great today, sorry to hear that, however if you follow medical instructions hopefully you will begin to feel better. Good luck Dragonfly try and not worry too much. Marydoll just do as you are advised and hopefully your angiogram will get done very soon. Meeting cousin today for coffee/catchup she is one of the daughters of my aunt who died recently so it may be a tearful morning. Hope you all have as a good a day as you can .

Lovely morning here in north Wales and it needs to stay that way as I’m trotting out see an aunt whose birthday is next week while I’m away. Will pop in to see my dad and scrounge some apples - more of a swap really as my DH has sorted huge sack of firewood for his aga!

Hope everyone has a great day x

Good morning - well I hope it is for me because just as I was going to bed last night I discovered a leak in the downstairs cloakroom. Have no idea where it's coming from but the carpet around the toilet is soaking. I have put old towels down and phoned the plumbing insurance company who will call me back this morning. They wanted me to turn the water off but I couldn't turn the stopcock. However it doesn't seem any worse this morning, and turning the water off would leave me with no heating or hot water, which is not ideal in this weather. The lady I spoke to on the phone said not to cancel my hair appointment this morning, but take my mobile to await a call before 10am. We shall see...

Anyway, it's quite a bright day here in Northampton; was hoping to do a Health Walk today but will await further developments. And was hoping to get to the station to sort out the train ticket for the funeral I am going to next week, which is the other side of Gloucester.

A good day out in Milton Keynes yesterday with a nice lunch (and red wine!) in Ask. Managed after 3 separate visits to the changing rooms in M&S to find a nice pair of black trousers. So many different styles, lengths, fabrics. Thought I had found the perfect pair straightaway, then discovered they were dark navy instead of black - of course they didn't have those in black! So eventually found a pair that were slightly different style and different fabric and the right length. Got them for half price though as I had a voucher.

Just had the phone call from the insurance company - they will be sending a plumber this morning, so will have to cancel my hair appointment!

Hope everyone who is poorly feels better soon and has a good day.

Good morning all.
Marydoll so sorry to hear about your angiogram. You should get a boost from the steroids, which is always welcome after the exhaustion of coughing and struggling to breathe.

Dragonfly sending you positive thoughts for today.

Hope today is kind to us all. ??

I have a medical appointment which I am feeling some trepidation about and am definitely not looking forward to.

Morning all , not actually raining here but it is near !
I am another who actually slept last night . But I can emphasise with those who tossed and turned
Waiting for a plumber and an electrician to sort a problem with the underfloor heating , not that I need the bedroom warm at night , but some of my paperwork happens there and blue fingers are not helpful
Will say a prayer for the swift cure of your cough Marydoll and a few for all the poorly people xxx

My late grandma said the first time she felt really old was when her granddaughter (me) became a grandma. How on earth did that happen?

Good morning Mick and everyone who follows. Dry and grey in Suffolk. I am off to grandparents tea this afternoon with DGS’s other Granny which should be entertaining! DH has had a cold for a couple of days and is now wheezing and coughing nicely.
Best wishes to Marydoll, Ginny and Dragonfly plus anyone else who is poorly.

Good Morning All x
Dry overnight and looks like a repeat of yesterday with some brightness and a breeze as I got a few towels dry outside.

D calling in today so we'll be going to her half-sister's to wish her a happy ( 70th ) birthday. My family are catching up with me. Pensioner children, it doesn't seem possible as my own two are reaching 60 as well ! SiL will be starting it off as he's 60 next month.

This must be a month for shonkey blood/medical results as my INR was out of range last week so have another test next week. I don't like it when that happens as it leaves a risk of bleeding so worries me slightly and warfarin is then adjusted.

However I hope everyone else gets sorted with their problems and you go on to enjoy the day.
