an hour ago I sat reading when the phone went it was a recording telling me they were a" claims clinic "and wanted to help me claim back at this point I put the reciver down. I have had a rest for three weeks no calls now it appears they are starting again, The thing was i didnt have the breath to blow my whistle I keep near the telephone.

It bugs me when they keep doing this. I wish their was a law out that they were not allowed to do this. If I wanted to claim for something I would contact them
The news was speaking of the goverment doing away with law from years ago . like shaking carpets on the front , allowing pigs and sheep on the roads .
but it should get some of the things that happen now ban

I dont know where everyone is ? but I have the thread to myself so I am making the most of it.
LOL.

?
Like you Marilyn I thought it was so funny may not have been to her she does have a hard time of it. it would make a good TV series.

I went and had my warfarin blood test done sister did it for me she said that is very high reading what happened ? I said nothing except I had had a scan and idione injections and wondered if it was that.?

I told her there seem to have been a mix up with my PMR blood test which I had done the same time. and Liz looked on the computer and my records and it read that I was due for a blood test due to something wrong with my blood system and the district nurse was suppose to come and do it. I said she was suppose to when i was ill well was suppose to.but didnt come so I left it. she said you need to get it done Rita she w rote a form out and I had to give it ti Liz on my way out.
Sister asked me if I was feeling alright ?and would I be able to make my way to the surgery next week for my b lood test otherwise she would arrange the DN to come. I said gooness me I dont need that I am quiet capable of walking across here. I told her I do my own housework washing iironing and cooking
Liz made an appointment for me for next week. she has made a note to tell the docoor what has happened. so I am fed up..
I have a headache as well.

not too happy

This is my second try at typing this hope it does not vanish again.

Linda I hope you have a good day I expect you will wonder how your Husband is getting on at the Court.?
Shelly and Marilyn I take my hat off to you both you did the right thing If I go into a shop and the assistants are chatting about the night before or what that guy said or did. I said excuse me you seem too busy to see to me so I will take my custom somewhere else and leave.
I watched the Edinburgh Military Tattoo last night did anyone see it. ? it was really great I would loved to have been there. I watched WDYTYA Jason Donovan and thought it was good I liked the convict bit brought in and that for 1 s 6d he was s ent out to Australia for ten years hard to think of it.
I am off to the doctors at 9.30 for my blood tests. see you later.

Hi Shelly and Marilyn
How right you were. I was knitting, well mainly sewing as I finished another cardigan. Ithink I'd best stop until I find out if anything is needed for Bulgaria this year. I have a few bits put by already. But will need to get some more wool soon.

I have WDYTYA on. It is quite interesting, but I do think he knows more than he is letting on........ but they did at least admit Jason is meeting with so and so who has done research on his family member.

Sleeep well all of you

Linda :o) XxX

Hi Rita,

We are back......NO CAR ...He He..

Well what happened was Pete rang the garage and said we would like to make an appointment for 2pm with a sales person. Right what happened next when we got there 3 salespersons were serving customers...(amazing that cars are being sold at this rate!!) LOL. now we were just abiding our time looking around the sales room, trying to get the attention of one of the sales men just to say we made an appointment at 2pm and its now 2-30pm, but they ALL completely ignored us !! did not even say *' I'll be with you in a moment* or sit and have a coffee like most Car sales rooms do . they just blanked us .Then 3pm came and went ......
Pete is one of these men that will not stand for crappy service , he said to me It's not like I'm buying a packet of crisps ..LOL . So off we went ....HOME.....so I still have MY car ....So pleased am I ..

let you all know if any phone call comes from that garage.

Been in the garden and its still sunny, just done a pile of Ironing with the patio doors open. quite pleased with my self.

Getting dinner ready....

I have done two lots of washing & been gardening ...How about that ?
Oh my god saw all these weeds amongst my new rose bush ,and had to dig the out right away ...LOL

Jean how are you ? have you got a a day off ? I don't suppose you have even though its a bank holiday all the machines still go on working .

My dear niece has just had her lymph glands removed on Wednesday I must make an effort to go and see her.only 47yrs so sad. but she's cheerful with it ...now waiting for her Chemo & Radio.

Hubby wants a new car ..!!!!! so we are off this afternoon to GLANCE at it ..LOL..... I say this because its MY car that he wants to trade in !!!!!!!!!!
Not sure that I agreed to it as I love MY car. he wants ME to have his car instead ..............oh big decisions me thinks . probably have a fall out over it .

Jean not everyone is going through what you are at the moment my thoughts are with you.

I have finished the washing it is all dry.
since I ,logged on the wind has began to blow a little harder but I can take that as the sun is still shinning.

:listering to the radio and hearing a little girl has been attacked by 3 dogs. in Dundee .when will people wake up to what can happen, they should put muzzels on their dogs when they take them out in the street. I love dogs but the thought that a child or someone can be injured badly by a dog sickens me.I dont have a dog now but I have always had Labadors but never let them off the lead when I have been out near people the only time I have done that is when I have been in the woods and seen no one about..

Linda my son only lives at Camberley.he spends most of the weekends off fishing.except when he is on call. He drives to FRance twice a yeyar and fishes at a big lake yopu would not beleive the size of the fish he catches he emails me the photos of him holding them.

Our friends must all be out or still in bed ? surely not at this time.?
If i had a wish I would like to be walking along the beach in Caister Norfolk. whatching ths ships passby and enjoying the seabreeze and watching the children playing on the sand I use to sit on a seat with my dog Ben and stare out at the coast line as many ships would pass by I would wonder what cargo they had a board ? I knew one day as they lost a cargo overboard of wood hundreds floated and landed on our beach.people were passing word about it and the beach was soon full of people taking these long planks of wood off home I had never seen so many cars vans and lorries on the seafront..

well time for a cup of coffee.

Hope everone has a wonderful day

Hi Stephen and Rita
It must be a Bank Holiday !!! Nobody else around?

Well the garden rubbish went at 7:30 so I will have to start filling the bags again LOL

Washing out, it is sunny and dry today so far.

Might be out later with my eldest daughter walking her dog, unless she is too busy to come.

Rita your son could pop in for a cuppa as he is in Sandhurst, probably only 3 miles from me.

Have a nice day all

Morning all
I had my tea and toast and then sorted out the washing I need to do today.

we have lovely weather the sky is blue and the sun is shinning it is not as warm as it has ben but I perfer it this way. my son just phoned to say he is off fishing for the day at a lake near Sandhurst. he said he has his sanies and his flask of tea.
He is a fanatic with fishing has been since he was five years old and he is 50 now,.

Marilyn that was a good journey we use to camp in Norfolk in the 1960's and we use to get there in three hours they put that bypass in and it took longer. more traffic used the road.
when I lost my husband I use to use the coach to come down from Norfolk to London and it took about five hours.it seem the short journey the bypass was suppose to do took longer. that was f rom Victoria Station to Great Yarmouth.
and you had a longer journy so you did very well.

Linda you were up early again then our Dustbin men call at 7.30 sometimes they are later about 9. but they keep mainly to those times

Marilyn is it really that cold where you are you need your electric blanket..? I still sleep with one blanket and a sheet and I am hot even then.

Dont forget tonight WDYTYA is Jason Donvan BBC1

off not to do the washing up before I go and do the washing.
see you later
