I meant to say the celebrity Christmas sewing bee is on tonight at eight o'clock.

Doctor gave me a good check over he listened to my heart and could hear the irregular beat he said what happens is you have a heart beat when your heart fills with blood then the next time it should beat it ony does a small beat and doesn't fill with blood as it should but the next beat has the rest of that filling and the normal filling then you get a much stronger beat which feels odd he said lits get it and its nothing to worry about .
He then listened to my lungs front and back and they were OK he did my oxygen levels they were OK and my temperature and that was OK too .
He said he didn't think I needed antibiotics but it was good to get checked out .
He did my BP which was up a bit and he said that he would like five days of blood pressure readings if I can get a BP monitor, I think son has one if not I'll buy one .
He also reauthorised all my tablets on the computer, I have to have a blood test on Christmas eve because I haven't had one lately, he said the chesty cough would take a couple of weeks to get better .
I feel better now I've been checked over .

Poor little Ted is he still waiting for his jumper lol I'd knit him one but I don't know what size he is .

Happy birthday Frank.

I am just wondering how many cards I have at home since coming away. I did let most people know when I was leaving but was still about 20 short when I left. It will seem strange opening them on 8th January.

Happy Birthday Frank. I hope you are enjoying your day.

If you are looking in Gill thank you for your Christmas card which came at lunchtime.

It’s good the doctor is going to see you this afternoon Mandy and I hope he can give you something to help you feel better. And definitely don’t worry about cooking the Christmas dinner. Let the others do it for you.

I had to be out for a very short while this afternoon and it is sooo cold. I was glad to get back indoors.

That's great Mandy that the doc will be checking you properly and that you are able to have an appointment today. It will be good to get a thorough check and get you started on medication if needed.

I hope ypu manage to get your cake finished today Mel. You are right about the fun bit when it is all prepared ready for your own decoration. Will we be able to see a pic when it's done?

I was sorting some craft things out today and found the wool and pattern to knit a hat that would match one of my fleece coats, so I must carry on with sorting out in here so I can make a start after finishing Ted's jumper! :-D

I have done a wash, dusted and tidied the main bedroom and cleaned the bath, sink and tops in the bathroom so that's enough HW for today. OH will hoover through on Christmas Eve after I've dusted everywhere else.

Now a bit of paperwork and maybe some painting.

OOoooooo I forgot to say Happy Birthday Frank hope you have a wonderful day.

Mandy I have been getting those flutters too but put it down to stress with having to do everything for Christmas.

Hope you get something for the tight chest when you see the doc today.

I have the marzipan and white icing on the cake not its just the playing bit.

Good afternoon all, no sun here. We did have a frost but it has either been murky and dry or murky and wet. No wind. I have been to see Santa. Well with I are if couse and now she (or rather Nanny) is putting her present together. I think it is a mobile but better daughter than me to do it. Waiting for bits to dry is causing a bit of impatience. Santa was at Do. Ids, not a particularly brilliant grotto but the kids seemed happy.

We are back at daughters now with Inara giving mummy time off with Senua.

Mandy hope the doctor can sort it out for you, good you have got a face to face appointment. I get those flutters when I am worried or stressed.

The nurse practitioner rang and she thinks I dhould see the doctor so I have an appointment at 4.30

<3 Happy Birthday Frank <3 I hope you enjoy your day if your looking in just say a Hi and let us know how you are .

Yes Ann these fluttering are very unsettling especially with this tight chest ,I hope I'll be able to do christmas dinner.

Afternoon All,

<3 <3 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK if you look in! <3 <3 I hope you have a nice day and remember.....we miss you!! <3

I slept like a log again which is good.

Mandy I get those flutterings and they are a bit unsettling aren't they. I had them when I was getting all that pain a few weeks ago and I thought it was probably worrying about it. It's good you got an appointment and are getting checked out and can ask about them and the tightness in your chest as well. It may just mean you have a chest infection that needs antibiotics, so best to nip it in the bud if so. I hope you soon feel better.

Lots of frost here earlier on too and it looked quite pretty. Your OH is a hardy soul going for his walk Vera. I bet he did look cold too after his audition for Rudolph! :-D

It's just 1 degree here Mel. Better get lunch now.

Thank you I hope they can see me to check me over It's not the same trying to explain things over the phone .
I keep getting this fluttering in my chest as if my heart is skipping a beat now and then I was just talking to son and he said he's had the same thing .
I wondered if was some thing to do with the booster but son hasn't had his yet he had an appointment but had to cancel it as you have to wait so long after having covid.

Frost is lifting now with the sun

Hope you get some medication for that tight chest and hope its not pneumonia again.

7 degrees here and there is a very cold wind out there again and its coming from the south east I think.

Morning Mel, Mandy and all

Our weather is much the same as yours Mandy. It looks very pretty outside as it’s sunny for the first time in quite a while but so cold and frosty that the sun shining on the roofs, plants and our metal garden furniture is making everything sparkle. There was a wonderful sunrise this morning.

OH went out for his usual walk at about 8.30 am and looked frozen when he came back except for his nose which was glowing. I think he was auditioning to be Rudolph’s understudy ;-)

I’m sorry to hear you are still feeling so poorly Mandy. I hope it’s nothing worse than the after effects of a bad cold. Keep warm and rest. Sending you a gentle hug <3

Might bbl

Morning Mel, morning all,

Very sharp frost everywhere is white and it's saying -3 degrees but we do have some lovely sunshine.
I got through to the doctors this morning and should be having a call from the nurse practitioner early afternoon, I feel so tight chested and just not right ,I felt just like this when I had that bout of pneumonia so I hope it doesn't turn into that again.

Thank you Gill for your card that came this morning .

BBL

Morning All,

Dull and dreary so nothing new there then but at least its not raining and I don't know if its windy but the trees ar'nt moving much. I hav'nt ventured out yet.

I would like to ice my cake today and also do Di's presents up.

May try and ring the docs again.

Slept really well last night which made up for the night before. Hope you all had a good sleep too.

What a nightmare for them AnnG. It sounds like it should have all been done and dusted ages ago, so no wonder your G daughter in law has PND.

Oh Mel you will have to try them as soon as their phones are on tomorrow. I hate it how they cut you off these days and say ring later. At least you got your wipe down done. We both had sneezing attacks last week but nothing came of them. I put it down to the dust when we were cleaning the lounge! lol. :-) Yes I remember Jane having her bolied eggs when the others were having things like Chilli. :-) It got me thinking about her too when I heard from Fitz. She hated anything in a shell same as me and Fitz would have her Rocket and anything else she didn't like! I still find it hard to believe she is gone and wonder how they all are.

I have whipped some bags of clothes out of the bottom of my wardrobe and had a sort out. Next I need to throw a few things out off the rails. I hate chucking things away but some old round the house things need throwing out and replacing with better things. I'm sure I have gone off a few things as well and they can go in the charity shop bag.

Glad you had a better night last night Vera and that your back isn't as painful. It's good to get your hair cut, I thought the same that mine will be ok for weeks now. It was thanks to OH that I wasn't late for my hair appointment as I was so convinced of the time I didn't bother to check my diary, so you aren't the only one going daft! Like you I didn't bother with Windows 11 when I got the invite to download and thought just the same as you. So how are you finding it now your OH has so kindly? downloaded it for you? No chance of my OH doing it for me as he would worry about messing something up!

Off to bed now as I want to be up early tomorrow. OH has notes to catch up with and I want to give the bathroom a good clean.

I did try twice more but got the same message. I will emaol tomorrow. I have been sneezing about 15 times this afternoon so I think I have a cold now and where do we get thesse colds from when we don't see anyone? Last week when I wsas sneezing and blowing my nose inthe morning it was bleeding and that lasted about a week.

Done the blimmin wipe down and am now whacked so oh gave me a nice G & T which I have downed now. I have got chilli out of the freezer for him tonight and I shall have a couple of boiled eggs which will suit me just fine. Jane always like boiled eggs if the boys were having someing with chilli in. we were so alike in many ways and I sorely miss her. <3 <3

Glad your back I. Better Vera and good that you checked your ear appointment. Hope all goes well with it.

Mel you are not having any luck with your jabs are you?

Ann the kitchen has bee. A problem from start to finish. Late starting, and twice measured up wrong by two different planners, it is a big national firm but sub contracted out for different jo s. If they could get it wrong g they gave done. So. U h so that grand daughter in law has been diagnosed with PND.

Mandy have you had your P taken lately? Los. p. An make you feel like ghat. It is probably an effect of the cold. Grandson. Has also had a cold And was left with a cough not helped by all the dust.

Afternoon All,

Oh how annoying Mel! Ring them and see if you can go there. They will cancel any other appointment you may have if you ask. (sorry, posted this later and hadn't seen that you've already tried!)

I slept well, but didn't get up early. Before I dropped off to sleep there were bloodcurdling barks/screams outside the bedroom window. I woke OH who never heard a thing. It wasn't cats and I haven't heard foxes sound like that. They usually come down the close in summer if at all lately. Maybe it was a fox, but it had caught a rabbit or something? I kept expecting more noise afterwards.

It's not nice feeling lightheaded like that Mandy so it's a good idea to take a break and sit and watch Dr Szhivago. Maybe it is an effect of the cold you had?

That sounds a lot to take on for your grandaughter when she has a tiny baby AnnG, especially with Christmas around the corner! Hopefully the builders are nearly done now. Poor little Senua was probably missing her mummy and not happy after having that nasty needle stuck in her! That's a nuisance the window pole over your door at home coming down. I bet poor Cynth felt a bit guily. It's an easy thing to fix back up though. You are only one degree cooler than here in the Midlands. At least we have no fog today.

I got a nice Robin Christmas card from Gill yesterday. Thank you Gill if you look in. :-)

I have tried ring the surgery 5 times today only to be told "your call cannot be transfered please try later".

Iv'e just about had enough now. I am waiting for my delivery to arrive so hav'nt done the wipe down yet as its not here!!!! I wanted to ice my cake today but thats out of the question now.

We've just had at least 12 LTT on the feeder and I don't know how many in the box hedge as you can hear them keeping a look out.
