Good Morning Saturday

Good morning all from a very wet South Notts, it's bloomin' 'orrible. I expect a quiet day with the newspaper and the giant crossword. I won't be mowing the lawn, that's for sure.
Thinking of the gillybobs and all those with health worries.

Marydoll I spoke to the endoscopy lady yesterday and requested sedation, I am worried that I will get panicked and that will bring on an asthma attack.

Went it bed early very early as came home from work feeling freezing and tired. Still awaiting my kidney stone op which,has been delayed till 8th nov should of been done by now and is causing lots of pain. Thinking of you gillybob.

Grannygravy best wishes for today.
If they offer sedation, take it.
It will be over in no time.

Goodmorning all from a very grey and blustery SE Essex.

I am laying in bed awaiting the star of the rugby!!!! Hoping it will keep my mind of the fact that my endoscopy is at lunchtime today.

Wishing everyone a stress free Saturday.

gillybobs you are both in my thoughts

Good Morning everyone Bristol is wet again today we did manage a small walk yesterday between the showers hope we can manage that today but does not look like it at the moment.
Enjoy your trip mick sounds interesting.
Everyone who is feeling under the weather I hope as the day goes on you all feel a bit better.
dragonfly you take it easy and keep drinking the water.
gillybob as always I am thinking about you and your DH.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Love to gilly

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all,enjoy your trip Mick

It's very dull and windy here looks like more rain,have 4 grandsons for the night that should keep us busy.

Hope for better news today from Gillybobs in my thoughtsx

Good Morning from yet again a very cold Fife. Later up today, DGS's yesterday certainly make you tired. Never mind it's all good fun. Nothing planned for me today however DH will be going underneath floor as we have leaking radiator. He should have been down a few days ago but things got in the way. He will be down today, heating will have to go off so I will clear out to do some shopping I guess. GermanSauerkraut welcome!. Hoping to hear some news from gilly. I hope everyone has a good Saturday.

And of course thinking and hoping for better news from Gilly.

Good morning from Leicestershire.

Hope you have a good trip Mick sorry to hear you have had a good night susan nothing worse.

Mary hope you get your rest today and your slow improvement continues. Good news kitty you may be dry at last, when it stops raining.

Pantglas the time in my clock is always an hour out for 6 months,

Went to bed at 8 feeling rough, like I had a hangover but drank gallons of water as advised and awoke feeling quite chipper.

Good Morning Mick and all who follow. Suffolk is grey and windy at the moment but plenty of rain in the forecast. DH can’t decide if he can bear to watch the rugby this morning. I expect him to steel his nerves! Best wishes to Gillybob, Marydoll, Dragonfly and all who need a hug.

(Last was to GermanSauerkraut)

And I shouldn’t worry too much. My DD1 scraps DGD’s hair back every morning into a bunch or pigtail as she’s a complete tomboy. It hasn’t thinned her hair at all and anyway hair is usually escaping before lunchtime.

Morning Mick and All.

Horrid dull day here in South Bucks.

Looking fwd to hearing about you over night trip Mick.

A little over spending by you Marydoll never ?

Snap Kitty We have a hole in the car where water is coming which DH has spent hours looking for and so far not found.

Welcome GermanS kitty is right you need to start up a new thread, think up a title stating the problem and give the explanation you have given to us. This long standing thread usually just covers the weather in our different parts of the country, what we are going to do that day and a brief mention of our health.

Have a lovely day tomorrow Ginny with your daughter.

Hoping and praying that the Gillybobs have better news. ?

Hello SauerKraut and welcome!

Go to Forums - Pick a topic (say Health?) - Start a New Discussion. Then type away and post it. Make sure you proof read before you post!

I’m not terribly good with new technology and not even sure where I’m supposed to be putting me messages ?? I appreciate the two replies so far?? How do I start a new thread?

Good morning from a cold, wet NE.
We are going out for lunch and then visiting my sister for coffee.
Thoughts are with gilly and praying this is the day that her DH turns the corner.

Welcome to gransnet, germansauerkraut! You will probably get more replies if you start a new thread with your problem.

Germansaurcraut , first rule of being MIL never give advice unless asked for

Good morning all from a very chilly Glasgow, it's only 3 degrees.

I would have posted earlier, but I have been lying, afraid to move, with a tiny pair of arms clamped around my neck.
We had a delightful, but exhausting day with DGD yesterday. I spent the afternoon, lying on the couch watching CBeebies. We don't usually let DGD watch much TV, but I was wiped out after the shopping.
I did make it to LIDL, but I think the euphoria of being out for the first time in ages addled my brain, we spent a fortune!! I kept saying to DH, Just get it, in case I can't get out again!!

It's another day day of doing little again, as I'm exhausted and feeling a bit out of sorts. Still suffering side effects, but nowhere as severe as previously, thank goodness! Hope springs eternal.
DS and DIL will be down earliesh to relieve us of our duties, but I suspect DD will be here even earlier to take over from me. She adores DGD.

Susan, I'm plagued with reflux, ?try and get a nap later on.
Ginny how lovely to have a visit, albeit fleeting, from your daughter.
Kitty, I'm glad you have found the source of the leak at last.
For al those with grandchildren staying, enjoy the peace while it lasts, my wee granddaughter only woke up, because she elbowed me in the eye and I let out a scream!

Keeping the Gillybobs in my thoughts and praying for a mircle.
Dragonfly, I hope you are not suffering too many side effects from yesterday. .

Enjoy your Saturday, everyome. I hope the trip lives up to your expectations, Mick.

Good Morning from a dark cold NI , not looking forward (backward ? ) to the hour changing , I am easily confused ?‍♀️
I so hope the Gillybobshave better news today xxxxx

Pantglas2 the car might do it automatically if you go out for a ride, mine does.

Good Morning - This is my first time on gransnet and I’m not sure what I’m doing as yet! I joined because I have a dilemma and needed to hear other grandparents thoughts on how I ought to proceed ! It sounds real stupid that I have difficulty saying what I need to say to my daughter-in-law, but my past advice has not been well received so I don’t say much anymore, but, I can’t help worrying about the fact she scrapes back my Toddler granddaughters hair back so tight every day into a ponytail that makes her look bald. The main thing is I’ve read that this can, if done regularly, cause permanent hair loss and headaches. My heart always sinks when I see photos of her like that and it’s spoiling the joy I should be feeling. How can I tell my daughter in law that what she’s doing could cause long term damage to her lovely hair, which we never get to see anyway!? I mean well but find it very hard to give advice without coming across as criticising her. Any advice for me out there please!?

Good Morning everyone from a wet Severnside. It’s just getting light and the forecast isn’t good so it might be a day for cabin fever. We will see.

We went to Tenby a few years ago for the first time and haven’t been to Porthcawl for years. Enjoy the trip Mick.

I hope you all have a good day and enjoy the extra hour.
Thinking of you gilly. ?
