Last Tuesday - the engine on the petrol lawnmower finally expired, so we came indoors to order a new mower online, while waiting for the confirmation mail, the hard drive on the computer expired!!! so one new lawnmower, one new computer later........and theres more lol

We also have received the admission date for hubby's major surgery - he is having the operation on the 6th June

It certainly wasn't your day. Good luck to hubby with his surgery. June xx

Hope all goes well with the surgery, Julie. Gwynne

Thanks June - he is to have Bilateral Aortic - Femoral artery bipass - 9 hours duration Julie x

Hope so too Gwynne, I am leaving work on the 26th May - so many life changes for me again Julie x

Oh yes - forgot to mention that I hadn't backed up my tree so have lost 5 years work (that will teach me not to do that again) Sigh!! Julie x

Some days seems to be like that, don't they? what is more, we seem to bumble from one to the next! Good luck with hubbys op - not that luck comes into it really - its skill and i am sure the surgeon is very skilled in his job. Those waiting hours are the hardest, and will seem like a life time. People say plan to be busy...ha ha! just do what ever gets you thru the day. Jess x

Hi Jess My friend of 30 years, Diane is going to be staying with me for a week, she will keep my spirits up, Roger will be in intensive care for 3 days after the operation - sedated, so it will be a long wait Julie x

Hi Julie Sorry to hear that you've had so much to face. All best wishes coming your way for Roger's successful op. Gwyn

Hi Julie, I do hope all goes well with hubbys surgery, its good that you have someone staying with you for the first few days. 2007 certainly is turning out to be an eventfull year for you!

Good Morning Julie, oh dear, more expense! :)) things always pack up at the same time!. Just put Rogers date on the calendar here, he knows I'll be thinking of him, am glad Diane is on hand for you, I shall of course be ringing! :)) Another lovely day outside again here, hope your fitter turns up later! :))

Hi Gwyn & Em Thanks for your good wishes, my membership runs out on here on the 1st June, but I will ask Daisy or Christine Houselander to let you all know how things are after the first week in June Julie x

Morning Christine A lovely sunny morning in North Cambs, yes cushion floor being laid at 9.30am, and we have found a plasterer to complete the hallway, so things are sorting themselves out slowly Lol Julie x

Oh that's good then Julie, will all look lovely when it's done. :)

Hi Julie I can empathise, I lost my tree when our computer crashed last year, just haven't been inspired to start re doing it yet Hope all goes well for Roger Dee ;-) (Are you keeping up with the morse code?? - those were the days!!) ;-)))

Frequently - as the saying goes, it never rains but it pours! But, if we have our health we can overcome the rest - so all the best to your husband for his op and much strength to you, the waiting is the worst part.

Good morning Dee I am afraid Morse code has been the last thing on my mind over the last year Lol I think I will start putting my tree together again in the weeks while Roger is in hospital, it will give me something to do as I will not be working after the 26th May Julie :-)

Thanks Christine Julie :-)

Hi Julie I keep thinking that when I break down the next wall I might have some new bits to add to the tree and that will give me the incentive to start again Take care Dee x
