n just given a nudge so i can keep up love to all

Hi all

Flag flying from my roof . No not because it is St George's day it is because son finally returned to Edinburgh !!!!

I double checked his rail ticket and stood with him till I witnessed him getting on the bus .That was on monday and so far he has not come back !!!

It is strange being on my own again and must admit I hate it but will get used to it after a few days . Thanks liz for my call monday night it did cheer me up xxx

My neighbours all think I am mad . After finishing the weeding yesterday I spent hours pulling out clover on my hands and knees .If I got a pound for everyone who suggested I buy weed killer I would be rich .I enjoy de clovering though listening to radio 2

Big mistake today I went to B&Q forgot pensioners get discount on a wednesday .When I got to check out the lady asked me if I was over 60 !!!!! so much for looking my age
Booking in for a face transplant next week .

I did ASDA as well so feeling quite proud of myself today and Carole I didn't need the loo !

Hope you are all having a good day

love
Kathy xxx

Elaine, you ask for as much support as you want to, we will be here for you. Lots of positive thoughts will wing their way from us to your hubby.

Malc, good to see you are keeping a smile on your face and good to see you on here.
Joyce, only a short one from you today, are you OK?

SueM glad your weight loss has stabilised and hope you get sorted soon.

Betty, nice to see you on here. Likewise Caz.

Carole thanks for PM yesterday.


I have my follow up consultant appointment tomorrow at 11am so am stressing a bit about that. Hoping that he will tell me all went well.
Have also made an appointment for a starving blood test. no food for 14 HOURS!! appointment is for 0855 Thursday 1 May. This is to check sugar level in the blood.

It is all go isn't it when you get older??

Had to wash the kitchen floor this morning (unscheduled). took some tomato puree out of the freezer and asked OH to put in fridge. It was only in a plastic bag and I didn't realise he had not put it in a bowl. Result....one sticky floor. He was at golf when I found it when my slippers were sticking to the floor!!

Morning everyone,

I didn't get to the shop but hey ho maybe next time. I had one diagnosis on a secondary pain site and started treatment straight away so that was good. Going to have a second opinion on the whole operation site and try to get an answer. Weight loss has stabilised at 1st 4lb so hopefully that has settled.

I really admire those cooking, cleaning and gardening how satisfying for you to achieve those things.

Malc you sound better too.

My memory is cr*p, I could say it is due to the meds but I have a sneaking suspicion it's age! So I never remember what you have all done...sorry.

Love to everyone suffering.

Hi everyone,
HAPPY ST. GEORGES DAY, to all my cyber friends.
Carole I have been in work since wednesday last week. tired.Hope that your dad and friend are on the mend now.
Have to go into town now but maybe back on later.
Enjoy yourselves to-day if you are celebrateing your national day.
Bless,
Betty.

Stay calm Elaine, use your rescue remedy. When you think about it it could be a cancelation appointment they have given your hubby. It can only be for the best anyway to get it seen to quickly, saves you from thinking all sorts. When is his appointment by the way?
A big hug for you to keep you calm.

Caz xx

Welcome home Malc, you have been missed xx

Unfortunately there is always a know all who thinks they know better that a doc.. in fact it happens all the time and leads us into being confused, which is wrong...
Reckon you are doing fine by your posting and how you are coming across.
Keep up the good work xx

JoycePxx

Hey Malc something seems to be working for you! You do sound a lot more optimistic than you did earlier. What a daft thing though for your therapist to do, by underminding the help you are getting from mind. Be positive and you will get better she should know that!! But hey what do we know? Lovely to see you and hear you are getting some help xxx

Everyone else you know .....I'm getting ready to go to work! Thanks for pm's and catch you later xx

Hi there

I'm here!!!!! LOL

Saw psychiatrist yesterday and she doesn't know why her locum put me on these new pills that I am taking and gradually pulled apart all the therapy that "Mind" is offering me apart from relaxation classes and Anxiety management.
She wants to know when I finish this "Beat the blues " course that I am doing then she will transfer me either to Lister Hospital Stevenage or Addenbrooks Cambridge for them to look after me.
I am going to my 5th session of "beat the blues" tomorrow in Ware but after the way/attitude of the worker that spoke to me and took my feedback from last weeks session and my psychiatrists opinion I may make this one my last visit.

Feeling a bit set out on my own at the moment but will be ok again when I know I have some proper medical support in the area that I live in now.

Keeping a smile on my face

Malc

Had a good chat with pychologist today. Understand more why I'm like I am. God I hope I haven't passed it on to my kids. Will they get older and look back and see all the mistakes I have made?

Daughter moved to Nottingham last night, just phoned crying tonight! Misses us, and home, she is only 50 mins away! Last year she was in Japan then Australia!! It was horrible to hear her crying and not be there with her. ( She is 25)

Dad still in hospital. Friend still poorly, has to have camera down throte

Pm ed a few of you tonight, hope you are all doing well. We seem to be quite well don't we?

Caz cooking a meal I can smell from here. My mouth is watering! xx

Joyce training for the dogcathlon! xx ( What? Yes I made it up! ) Hey why don't you train Toby to work like a working dog? You could use him to round up our missing posters!! xxx Like Jules, Ben, Malc, Dave, Eleanor ..........

Mary with green fingers over the pond ~~~~ xx

Where has Betty been, anyone heard from her? xx

Gill how are you haven't seen much of you xx

Gail thinking of you and yours down there xx

As it gets near to 3000 posts on here can we stay off so our Joyce can get it !!! pmsl

Love to all my lovely friends xxx

My five+ year old granddaughter is going through a phase of preferring trousers to dresses. still the trousers and ALL other clothes are usually pink so she still looks cute!

yes ann they can i only have one daughter and 5 son's but my daughter was more like a boy climbing trees and she loved aeroplanes when she was pregnant i wanted her to have a boy because i didn't want her to dress a girl in trousers all the time so when she had amie my granddaughter i made sure she was in dresses and now
she is what i call a proper girlie girl my daughter still never wares dresses or skirts she is always in jeans

love and hugs to all

Hallo again. Mary what fantastic bargains, did you get it all planted. Bet it will look lovely come summer.

Elaine and Caz, well done, what a productive day you have both had. I did venture into the garden and sort out a hardy geranium that was a bit rampant, then also sorted out a grass in a tub that needed the dead bits pulled out.
Carolina, little girls can be so sweet can't they?

Ecky thump Elaine, you are leaving us all behind, bet you sleep tonight.
Hi all, not had time to come on today,sister day, then I decided I would try and make tea. I did it as well, I feel so good, roast beef, roast potatos, roast parsnips cabbage and yorkshires. Oooh it's a long time since I cooked and I'm missing it. Hubby dished it out then had to catch me before I collapsed with exhaustion lol, I'm useless aren't I. Lazy day for me tomorrow but I had to tell you what I did. I'm not boasting just so pleased with myself. Going into room now to fall asleep while watching Emmerdale then bed. See you all tomorrow.
Toby, your daytime mistress has only made that appointment on Friday so she won't have to go out for a walk, you tell her pal.
