Good morning, ladies. Nanto - you never cease to amaze me with all the jobs you get done while I'm still groping my way round the kitchen hoping to find the kettle!!

Oma - it's amazing how much difference even one street light makes. The light near DS2's has been out for ages and the path is uneven and very slippery when wet - it feels like walking over a bumpy skating rink at night! I hope b has had a good night and is feeling better. xx

Gem - I hope your mum enjoys her afternoon and meal out. As you so rightly say, it's not a good time to tell her. Do your DDs know that she doesn't know yet? (Just in case they happen to be speaking to her).

Mimi - what a shame the Christmas spirit was so low key last night. I really hate those bit tv screen just churning out rubbish. but then I watch very little tv at home, so I'm not the best person to say!

I'm off for coffee and lunch with some of my ex-college friends today. There will only be about 3 or 4 of us, but last time the larger group met the friend who organises it was ill and missed it, so this is a catch up with her. Looking forward to it. If we're not too late, I might do a bit of Christmas shopping on the way home! This is me getting organised early!!!!!!

Birmingam was very festive yesterday with a "German" Christmas market only I couldn't figure out why it was German as it was mostly British tat and expensive sweetie stalls, burger stalls etc. It was all very very Christmassy though. There was an alcohol embargo with barriers saying that any booze would be confiscated if brought into the market. Obviously there are booze stalls there (probably "Gino prices") but I wonder why you would want to walk around a market with a drink in your hand??

The station shopping thing was very busy as well and full of Christmas Windows etc, there are soooo many food outlets there it is a wonder they can all survive.

Well he's having good days and bad , today he's exhausted sore mouth and acid,y stomach he's drinking loads but said he's dehydrated so going to give him fluids despite the fact he also has water retention !!! Doesn't make sense does it .

went and bought a little tree this morning , a 3 ft snow effect pre lit one to go on my side tables only £15 in Asda , in fact I love it it's very pretty going to put some decs on once I've had a cup of tea and put his washing in machine .

Oh Dear Oma one step forward and a half back !

[Plantaholic]

So sorry to hear Brian is having a bad day today, \i am sure the little tree will cheer you up

[Pearl5]

Sorry too to hear Brian's still having a rough time....xx

[Gemini]

Poor B I'm glad you bought the little tree Oma.

We had a nice meal out with mum. She hadn't seen OH for a while, so enjoyed catching up.

[Daisy]

Oma - I'm so sorry to hear B isn't feeling too good today. It must be very uncomfortable for him, and stressful for both of you. Your little tree sounds sweet and something you will bring out year after year.

Gem - glad you had a nice time with OH and your Mum.

Zizi - the Christmas market in Brum sounds a bit disappointing, but at least you haven't been tempted to spend, spend, spend.

I enjoyed meeting up with friends for coffee and lunch and I even did some Christmas shopping. I also splashed out on a new pair of walking boots for me. The soles had worn smooth on my old ones and I've been walking in wellies, which isn't great! I was amazed how quiet Lymington was - hardly any one around, but it was drizzling with rain and was already getting dark at 3 pm.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning girls.
Daisy, pleased you had a nice time meeting friends.New boots sound good.
Gem, sounds like you enjoyed meal out with Mum and OH.
Oma,hope B feels a bit better today.

[Daisy]

Good morning Nanto and everyone.

Exciting times ahead for me today - a trip to the supermarket!!! I know how to live it up. I might even come back and do some housework!


Oma - I do hope Brian is feeling a bit better today. Give him my love. x

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone.

DD1, GS1 and I are going to Leeds today to see Rudolph, a childrens play. I booked the tickets back in the summer. I will drive to theirs, then we will go in DDs car. I hope GS enjoys it!

[Oma]

Morning Ladies a bad night for me Brian was really poorly yesterday mouth all sore couldn't swallow well then had really bad diarrhoea then passing blood clots in his pee temperature 39.1 . They put him on antibiotics as they think maybe a water infection sent him for ultra scan on neck in case he had a swelling , that was a trial in itself had to double mask and gown him and clear waiting room , they been in and out all night putting different drips up so he's had little sleep but said doesn't feel to bad this morning apart from wanting to sleep , Sorry I'm waffling ladies just needed to tell someone didn't want to worry the kids or his family , thanks for listening ☺xxx

[Gemini]

Oh, I'm so sorry Oma. Poor B, and poor you Sending you both lots of love, and hoping things improve for B really soon xxxxxx

[Libra Gran]

Oma poor Brian, are all these things because of the transplant ? I really hope he starts to pick up soon. Sounds as though he is getting great treatment from the hospital, give him our love. Lazy start to the day for me and a trip to the beach later with my friend and all the dogs.

[ZIZI]

Oma we are with you. Sorry to hear how B is suffering which, of course, means that you are suffering too. Sending much love.
