Morning all
Glad your feeling a bit better today Mandy

I'm not so tired today slept better, OH away in London for the next week so I had a more restful sleep, non of his snoring and not so many hot flushes to deal with for me. I still have this light headed feeling most of the time
and was wondering if it could be anything to do with my blocked sinusus(sp) my Head has a heavy feeling when bending over, might make an Dr app if no better at the end of the week.

Under Grey clouds here at the moment, at least that snow did not last yesterday what a relief.

Still no sign of my new computer , OH has had an e-mail saying it is being assembled at this moment in time. Will be 4 weeks since we ordered it at the end of this week.

Been watching the new Series of Heir Hunters really interesting. makes me wish I could find lots of secrets in my family tree. so far I have a few children out of wedlock, an uncle who died on the Lusitania , but his body was never recovered.
Mostly just the normal everyday weavers, and bakers, who knows maybe i'll be lucky one day.
JANE is Fritz still interested in tracing his ancestors.

I agree Fiona, It would be .lovely if something on the 'Heir' front would pop out of the woodwork! Like you, my family tree consists of Agri workers, Bailiffs, laborours and weavers,and someone who traded in Animal skins!!! yuk! smelly or what!!! not much on the heirloom front there I'd say! any case no doubt someone else would have prior claim!!! back to the lottery!!! Those poor people in New Zealand, the weather and the world seem so cranky these days! where will it all end?!!

1.03pm

Afternoon all, trust all you sickies are feeling a bit better. (keep taking the tablets) !!!!

Nurse hasn't been yet, Ros had to go out for 1pm. So I am left to tell her to leave the dressings, and we will do it ourselves. That the trouble you never know when they are coming.

Hoped you all enjoyed this mornings jokes, I haven't got some Email address's so you are missing out on a good giggly.

Didn't sleep very well last night, couldn't stop thinking of that Bl#### womans remarks !!!! My temper goes up whenever I think of her.

Lewis managed to push the button in on the Patio door that locks it. Fortunatly the door was in the open postion, but I can't find a key to fit it, and unlock it. So we can't turn the handle. I have been on the net, but as yet not had any replies.

Overcast here again this morning, but no rain as yet. Don't hold you breath.

Hello -out there-----snow flurry last night but sun is out should be melting
Still very cold--BRRRR-

i do hope all the GANG in SICK BAY will be out soon xxxx

10.20 TIME FOR CUP OF TEA.

'ello my darlings.Was that Charlie Drake?

Ouch Liz !! that sounds painful.Hope you aren't too black and blue.
I'm glad to see people are improving ,and will feel even better tomorrow.

Lots of funny emails to day thanks Frank and Liz.
Frank have you ever thought of Relaxation Tapes to listen to?Just a thought.They can be a big help to de stress and unwind and help you to sleep better.
Have you had any luck on a key for the patio door??

Fiona Funny you should ask about Fitz .Yes we are still on a trail.Ann has been brilliant in her searches.Hopefully he may soon be able to speak to a living rellie .Wouldn't it be great if they new of any scandal to do with his Grandmothers family.Also any old photos.But of course he may not get anywhere.We wait and hope lol
He has just been up to see the latest info we have.

16.37

It is good to see Mandy posting again!!

Fiona I would go to the dr's soon if you still feel a bit iffy!! Try drinking more water as sometimes youget dehydrated and that can make your head funny. I was told you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day! I would be for ever in the loo !!!!

Been looking for an old file case today and do you think I can find it. I have asked for it back and it still has'nt appeared.

Hello Today MICHELLE IS HERE

I have just returned from the cinema I went to see The Black Swan what a wonderful eerie film it was and such a sad ending I cried buckets I went on my own. I do hope Nat Portman gets the oscar well deserved I thought.

Thank you Melenie and Jane for the get well cards.My mother was so taken aback with your kind thought a tear or two came into her eyes.

I do not think it was just her moving the cement that caused the heart attack although that finished her off nearly. Mum had a few chest pains when Mat died. If you remember she had the cyst on her arm removed
then Mat fell 5ft and hit his head on a rock below while in the forest in Wales, mum looked after him knew something bad was happening
and tried to tell him to go to hospital but when he went it was not possible to save him and died it was more than a shock to her.To us all.

Then Mum had the cancer scare the joy when it was just a cyst but then Mohsen decided to go back to Tunisia after the prime minister Ben Ali was removed .My mother really got on well with Mohsen waiting years to meet him .Tunisia and the heat and the relatives behaviour which even made me laugh grandads bottom pinching was just so funny he fancied mum but she was horrified . But when my husband came here she really got on well with him and he loved mum then he went back to his own country.Mum was in shock and missed him .He came back again but he had not got a job he lost it while away and I could not afford to keep him again he threw everything away I got him and worked for. I watched my husband get on a plane at London airport and fly away to a very ill mother who does have kidney disease and is dying but the marriage is over.My heart is broken I met Mohsen when I was fourteen he was eight not ten which mum said. I visited every year with my friend and her mum some thought it weird but I knew I was going to marry Mohsen. I watched him grow up go to a school of medicine then languages and he became a language teacher in Tunis. I dreamed of our wedding day it was funny and hot but I remember sleeping on the roof and the sunset was so beautiful.

But my dream was not to be my man disapeared on a plane back to his country which now a lot of people are trying to leave and go to Italy but they are being deported and with no administration things are very bad in Tunisia at the moment. My stupid husband will not have a job.

I think my mother may be home at the end of next week all being well
I have not had time to read the threads but wish everyone peace and happiness MICHELLE.

Thanks Michelle for your post.
It's good to know that your Mum is getting better and will be home soon.I'm so sorry that life has been so difficult for you and your family lately.I hope that things will soon be easier for you all.

I am off to bed now so will say Night Night to one and all.Sleep tight.xx

Morning all,

Usual weather dull and dreary and wet.

So nice to hear from Michelle and that Sheila liked her cards and is now on the mend. she has been through so much recently for a body to take.

OH has bought a new air pump for the pond and the defuser is about 8 inches round. You have to turn it off to see the fish as the top of the water is so agitated by the air bubbles. It should keep the water well airated and the pond cleaner.

How are all our poorly today please? Lvoe to all.

9.54

Morning All
Yucky weather again!.I must get on to the gas people and get them out to sort the pump out for the boiler.Then I'm off to get my eyes tested.
Must have a cuppa and some toast first though.

Mel the shop my Uncle Jan worked in in Bideford was Boyles.

Morning everyone,

Raining here today ,don't know if its cold out as i haven't been out the door ,feeling a bit better ,have emptied the dishwasher and that's all i've done ,will see if i can cook tea today ,i just feel so tired with no get up and go !!

10.58

Your get up and go has got up and gone Mandy lol.This infection has really knocked you for 6 hasn't it.Don't try doing too much yet,just pottering is probably enough.It's good that you are on the mend though.
Must dash>>>>>>>>>>>

11.03

All OK here, but trouble with staying on line!!! OH on the case!!! See you all soon!

Hi All
I still have this light kind of headache , so didn't meet up with friends for coffee, and didn't take Sofia to musical minis, Daughter no 1 will take her to her second group tomorrow morning.
Made an appointment to see the Doctor tomorrow afternoon at 3,
Not won't to overdo computer so will just say hope everyone else is ok.

Be back when feeling better.

Good luck tomorrow Fiona.It's probably a virus that you have.Take it easy now.

I have had my eyes tested and now need specs for driving as well as readers.Also the pressure was raised a bit in my eyeballs (or somewhere) lol so have been referred to the hospital to see someone.

I do wish this weather would buck up It's making people miserable.

On he way back earlier there was a policeman and his dog in the top field ,training.The policeman had one of those padded protectors on his arm for when he had to make the dog chase and catch him.I would have loved to have stopped and watched,but didn't think it would be the right thing to do.

Cup of tea now I think ........16.03

Just going to corn the chickens and then have a cuppa myself Jane.

Great minds think alike!!

Have been ironing.

Had trouble with pooter this morning and kept going off line from the GR site. Then the screen went completely black with just a couple of sybols on the top. Could'nt turn it off any way so OH came and did something to the pc and it took ages. Now up and running again ok.

16.12

I'm up and running again!!! all that was needed was to push a button and hey presto!! Back rather painful today! how stupid can you be (me!) so I'm not doing too much, well, less than usual!! Went to South Molton this morning, did some shopping and had a wander round, back hurt so came home!!! Hope Frank is OK and enjoying his week with Lewis. I can't believe that someone took him for a pervert! it must have been obvious that he was waiting for someone, people really are the limit!!! Remains of the Pork tonight, with Rice to make a change. Ian much better, just the peeing to be sorted out, then things will be really on the mend. Hospital appointment on Tuesday, after that we shall know where we are cancerwise which will be a relief either way, at least we can plan our lives round it or away from it, if you see what I mean!!

Thats better..................a cuppa and a couple of crumpets.
