Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, it has been wet overnight here in Brackley this morning.
Today, somewhat busy , a quick weekly shop for essentials like milk , and I have to vacate my flat so the electricians can come in and renew the smoke alarm system, this means approx. 2 hours siting in the building open lounge , whilst they do the work, and then once done back into my routine for today.

GabriellaG54 I don't blame you at all. Many of the comments on your "toilet" post were rude and hurtful. More like schoolground bullying than mature opinions.

I didn't agree with many of your remarks but wouldn't it be a dull world if we all were the same? You certainly made GN interesting.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and I wish you well for next year.

Good news indeed Gillybob! When your husband finally leaves ICU, be prepared for him not remembering anything about being in there. My husband spent just over 4 months in there, and couldn`t remember ever being in there, when we went back a few months after leaving hospital, they took him up to ICU, but it all seemed completely new to him. The staff said that it happens all the time. Anyway, onwards and upwards now, albeit slowly. All the best from me.

Oh Gilly what wonderful news, I'm so pleased your DH seems to have turned a corner. Yes it will still be many weeks, maybe months, before he is fully recovered, but he is, at last, going in the right direction. I can't tell you how happy I am for you smile

It's wet and miserable here so it is good to get some brighter news from the North sunshine

gillybob your delight in your husband’s improved health is evident - and no doubt shared by many on GN. Sending you love and prayers. ?

Good morning, Marydoll from yet another retired teacher!

Not Good morning, but just to say I am sorry that Gabriella G is leaving.
Having read the post she started I can understand why; the sheer nastiness of the comments on the last few pages over such a trivial subject are unbelievable.
I am sorry to raise this here but as she posted her reasons for leaving on this thread it seems to be the appropriate place to comment.

Lovely to read your latest update gillybob onwards and upwards now flowers

Cherrytree59 Fri 22-Nov-19 13:59:27

Pleased to read your latest post Gilly.
Things are looking much more positive nowsunshine.
You will need to try and look after yourself, ready for when MrGilly returns home.

There will be many challenges ahead, but you will get there.

I knew there wassunshinearound the corner Gillybobs! Such a lovely heartwarming post xxxx

Curlywhirly Fri 22-Nov-19 12:00:43

So pleased Gillybob to hear your good news - hope you have a great weekend and Mr Gillybob continues to make progress. Time for you to have a little rest and relaxation!

eazybee Fri 22-Nov-19 11:53:02

Gilly, so pleased to hear your positive news. Time for the Thank God It's Friday Card I think; a good day at last!

CaroleAnne Fri 22-Nov-19 11:26:30

What cheering news Gillybob. Long may it continue. Maybe you can allow yourself just a little time for yourself. Maybe a cup of coffee or something a bit stronger!!
Gabriella. It would be great if you do not leave. There are people on here from all different backgrounds and walks of life and this forum would be poorer without you. If you want to say something controversial then say it but bear in mind an old saying that my husband likes(who is Jewish)- 3 Jews and 35 opinions. I think that this sums up this forum. So with this in mind please reconsider.

Very late onto the thread this morning, but been up and busy. It's wet in Cheshire, (could that lovely word 'dreich' be how the Scots would describe it?) but I did manage a relaxing/chatty walk in the woods with my neighbours and dogs. The colours are stunning and the trees absolutely still today, but many are now just dark skeletons against the sky. Winter!

Having a misted window panel replaced today, then over to do shopping for my housebound friend. She called me at 1.55 a.m. last night, as she'd nodded off and woke up thinking it was still evening!

So good to hear your news Gilly, all the little steps are setting him along the way to recovery now. Dragonfly and Marydoll take good care of yourselves.

Enjoy your Friday everyone. x

So happy for you gilly, look after yourself

Doodle Fri 22-Nov-19 10:59:12

So pleased at your encouraging news gillybob. Lovely to hear.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 22-Nov-19 10:54:00

Morning all from a damp and cold South Notts. I expect to visit my sister later on unless something comes up.
Am pleased to hear your news gilly and hope that good progress continues.
Hope all is well with everyone.

EllaKeat Fri 22-Nov-19 10:45:42

Gillybob I tune in every day to check on how things are with you, so I am over the moon this morning?
A soggy day here in Durham and it took ages to get light this morning!
Will be collecting my GD from nursery at lunchtime and she is decorating her Christmas Cake this afternoon.......... i will then be cleaning the devastated kitchen?
Gabriella does not seem to have been happy here for a while now. Perhaps a break from GN would help?

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Nannytopsy Fri 22-Nov-19 10:44:47

Such good news Gilly thanks

JenniferEccles Fri 22-Nov-19 10:18:09

A bit of emotional blackmail Gabriella ........

gillybob also doesn’t want you to go as you make her smile ?

With what she has been through lately she needs all the smiles going doesn’t she ?
