Happy Birthday Gillybob.
You are only 58, repeat only 58 so make sure you celebrate that, and put yourself first today, as far as you can. Really!

Thank you NannyJan I’m hoping I’ve turned a corner. The omeprazole are helping and my stomach no longer feels as though it’s been kicked by a horse.

I’m another that leaves our Christmas decorations up until 6 January GG13 I think the lights are so pretty and calming to look at. I put our cards (all 27 I counted!) on a door in the hall so I see them as we walk past and that’s cheery plus they don’t get in the way!

I hope it’s not considered bad luck to leave them up longer as I left our mini fibre optic up in Spain thinking we’d be flying back yesterday. It’s on my mind. Silly I know ....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST GILLYBOB!!

Good morning Mick and all x

It is very grey here in SE Essex, bedding changing today, and a tidy round, will leave the decorations up until twelfth night.

gillybob Happy Birthday, you have your dear man home and hopefully he is taking baby steps on the road to recovery.
I do hope that your family will surprise you ???

A Happy Birthday Gillybob. xx
Treat yourself to a bit of something to give yourself a lift, you deserve it.x

My eldest D ( in Oz ) is 58 at the moment, though will be 59 towards the end of the month. To think that this time next year she'll be heading towards her 60th----doesn't seem possible.

Happy birthday Gilly !

How great that your husband is home for your birthday. I bet even two or three weeks ago you would never have imagined that possible.

I was also going to say I expect your family have something nice planned but I have seen your reply to that suggestion!

At least you don’t have to clean the men’s loos at work today ?

harrigran Thu 02-Jan-20 09:41:40

Birthday greetings gillybob, I hope you can have some kind of celebration even if it does not include alcohol.

Urmstongran Thu 02-Jan-20 09:40:48

Jeepers I’ve slept for 10 hours solid!

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s dry and mild again. Certainly not like winter here!

I must couple up the Alexa Echo I got for Christmas today as I’m beginning to look somewhat unenthusiastic ... ?

No plans today. Grandson was taken to the walk in yesterday (NYD not the best start to 2020) with a rash on his legs. Turns out it’s hand, foot and mouth virus. Contagious so he’s in quarantine for a couple of days. He’s well enough in himself thankfully, eating and drinking, just pale and tired, bless.

Will read the 40 messages now that are already on here! Seems such a popular thread now how lovely! Honestly what different lives we lead - yesterday we had alpacas, someone off to Antarctica (beats nipping to Sainsbury’s) etc. Makes for very interesting reading!

Hope Thursday is good to us all whether we have plans or, like me, none. x

Happy Birthday to you
Squashed tomatoes and stew. Dear Gilly. +++

Lins1066 Thu 02-Jan-20 09:35:17

Yes Happy Birthday gilly as Marydoll says, you need some spoiling. I hope you have the best day you can. ?

harrigran Thu 02-Jan-20 09:34:29

Good morning from a windy NE.
We had all the family visit yesterday, lovely to have them all round the dinner table. No turkey in sight, DH cooked two beef joints and a vegetarian meal for DD.
Probably won't see DD again until Easter as she starts a new job in February and lives in Belgium.
Thinking of all those who are poorly.

Morning from the Shropshire borders.
Have managed to go downstairs this morning for the first time in over a week?back in bed now but hopefully each day will see improvement now.
Happy birthday gilly???hope you have a good day.x
Good wishes to all.

Happy Birthday Gilly. May 58 be as good a year as it was for me. We moved house and made all sorts of rather surprising and unexpected changes. flowers

gillybob Thu 02-Jan-20 09:30:25

Thank you for the Birthday wishes Marydoll smile

As for the family having “something nice planned”
You have got to be joking grin

Marydoll Thu 02-Jan-20 09:26:23

Gilly, Happy Birthday!
Hopefully, your family will have something nice planned, although I do understand that you don't feel like celebrating.
After everything that has happened, you do need spoiling. flowers

Nannytopsy Thu 02-Jan-20 09:25:21

Morning Mick and all of his followers! Overslept rather today - we were up very late last night, for no particular reason. I reached base camp on the ascent of the ironing mountain yesterday and shall aim for second camp today!
Hope everyone has best day they can.

gillybob Thu 02-Jan-20 09:23:02

Good morning from a bright but cold NE coast .

I had planned to go out of lonely walks on the beach yesterday, but DD asked if I could have little Evie for a few hours yesterday afternoon so we played Duplo together which she loves.

DH slept on and off for most of the day yesterday . Will have to go to “that place” today but the lads are not back until Monday so I won’t be staying long that’s for sure. I had planned to win the lottery over Christmas so I would never have to go back, what do they say about well made plans.....?

It’s my birthday today , I think I’m 58 or is it 85 ? hmm certainly not celebrating or doing anything nice.

Have a good Thursday everyone .

Love Gilly xx

Good morning all from Glasgow, it's 9C, but I can't get heated up! DH says the house feels like a sauna.

Late posting this morning, I just couldn't get out of bed. I don't mean I was tired, I was stuck!! My hip and back have seized up.
I love the Marydoll moment comment, as some of you know, I have many! ?
I eventually managed to get up, with a lot of oohing and aaahing, drowned out by DH's snoring.

Went downstairs to get some painkillers, went to the loo and couldn't get up again!!! DH of course was oblivious.? I had visions of reading in the local paper, about a well known, local worthy, being stuck in a toilet! ?
On a more serious note, we spent a fortune building an accessible shower room to futureproof our home, with grab rails etc, but I forgot about putting one beside the toilet!!

I have promised, as part of my cardiac rehabilitation, to go for at least a ten minute walk every day, if I'm able, ( I can't manage the exercises) so I'm off out later. I will be gone for hours, as I'm bound to meet someone. grin I didn't make it yesterday. sad

Hugs for all those who are poorly or sad. flowers and enjoy your day, all those with plans.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

As usual. Not going anywhere, not seeing anyone.
