Good morning.

All thoughts with you and B today, Oma xxx
Good to know baby has arrived, Lovely news.
I hope things are going smoothly in the Enfys household
Libra and Zizi. friend of ours have 2 reclining sofas. Whenever we go there I can't wait to Recline! Theirs are leather, which isn't to my taste, but I know you can get fabric recliners.

I am going with mum to the doctors for ear syringing (her) this afternoon. Just usual Thursday routine apart from that.

Have a good day everyone.

We have leather reclining sofas and chairs , the chairs are electric but the sofa is manual ,
The chairs get reclined always but hardly use the sofa recliners ,
I do find after a while if i recline too much my legs ache , I wouldn't have one next suite , I would have a foot stool for me

[Gemini]

I quite fancy a footstool Oma.
What time is the hospital appointment? x

[Libra Gran]

Morning ladies a quiet day for me, the sun is trying to shine but it is chilly . Seems so strange still not to have 3 days filled with after school care with the girls. It used to break the day up a bit, never mind. What is that expression ,the devil makes work for idle hands. Hope all goes well for B today. Gem my Recliner Is a fabric one, only the sides and back are leather. 2 days to go before Devon. 💃

[Enfys]

Bitterly cold here. I really need to do some housework, so will be flitting around at some point, Don’t need to go out today, so we will both be staying warm.

Hope it goes well at the hospital Oma x

My chairs are very comfortable and the footstools are huge. I actually slept on the chair and footstool when husband had painted the bedside table and left it by the bed and I couldn’t stand the smell (he hasnt done it since) And the sleeping experience was not a problem although of course a bed is always better. The chairs have very good support but with the foot stools you can lounge a lot.

It is 9.05 and I have just got up. How very lazy of me eh? I am going to award myself a big bubbly bath and then I might have a drinking chocolate and biscuits for breakfast (calories!).

Because of the interviews coming up I tried on my tailored trousers to make sure they fitted and they didn’t, way too big, saggy bottoms is not in it. I haven’t really worn them for about four years anyway so the charity shop is going to get ten pairs of really good strides and I will go back to skirts. Again I rarely wear them and I am tempted to buy some new clothes but won’t in case I don’t get a job and anyway, I will deny this if anyone repeats it, I have plenty of clothes....... I am surprised I have lot so much weight ove the years I haven’t done anything like dieted, maybe it has been working at home a lot and not nipping to the shops and buying rubbish for lunch.

Oma, keeping everything crossed for B’s scan results. Xx. Pleased to hear baby has finally arrived. Many congratulations to mum and dad.

We have the same as Oma - recline sofa and electric reclining chairs. The chairs are getting ver shabby because we use them all the time, the only downside is they’re cream leather. Oh loves leather and I agreed on condition we had a pale colour. I keep throws on the backs so you don’t have to lean on the cold leather. The hav3 heated seats as well 😉

really tired today. I didn’t sleep very well - my legs were aching so much. Then about 3 am. DS1’s dog managed to push our bedroom door open and cam3 on the bed for a cuddle so Rva got up too. In the end I took them into the garden but was then too cold to get back to sleep. DS1 was leaving for Gurnsey at 6.30 so I got up then and gave myself plenty of time to get the boys up, dressed and fed ready for school. GS1can take ages to get ready, but I got him up by kidnapping his phone, and once up hunger drove him into the kitchen for breakfast. He reminds me a bit of that advert for a chocolate bar where you’re not yourself when you’re hungry. 😀. DS2 just gets on with things, bless him.

We’re going to do a bit of shopping later. It’s a luxury having M&S on the doorstep and I need some new undies. OH is going to do our food shopping in Tesco which is next door to Marks.

We’re staying here tonight in case DS gets stranded in Guernsey, and go home after the boys have gone to school tomorrow morning. Their mum is due back from India tomorrow afternoon.

I hope everyone is feeling a bit better today. 😘

Great organising skills there Daisy.

[Oma]

Well we back and would you believe it NO SCAN RESULTS

We felt sick going into Dr's room then to be told they were not back and will have to wait and worry again .

His immune is down a bit with him having flu and the infection in his tooth , so they gave him a jab to help ,
Got to go back Monday at 12.30 to check his bloods make sure its working , then from there over the other side of the city to the Dental Hospital for 3.45 ,

Tuesday back at Hospital for 11.30 for a transfusion to boost his blood count ,
So spending a lot of time traveling from Hospital to Hospital next week and there are major road works going on making the journey a nightmare , we left at 9 this morning for a 40 minute drive got there at 10.20

[Gemini]

So sorry Oma I was waiting on tenterhooks for you text , then so disappointed for you both. Each day waiting for test results feels like for ever.
Surely they could have phoned to save you the wasted journey and extra waiting room stress if there were no results to give him?
Sending you both ((HUGS))

[Oma]

Just as well we did go though Gem as he needed the immune boost xx

[Qwerty]

Afternoon folk I am sorry about B Oma it seems one endless stream of hospitals for one thing after another, thought by now you might be off the hook, I just don’t know how you do it !!
Daisy it’s no wonder your tired child minding 4 children is hard work , I know some are at school but it’s all the travelling too, no wonder your body is suffering it’s telling you to be careful tells me to. take it steady , I laid on the floor on Tuesday I was a poorly patient whilst the twins fixed me up trouble was when I sat up I went dizzy and sick I shan’t be doing that again
Plant a tooth fantastic watch it now mind he doesn’t bite bless him
Libra you will soon be seeing those gorgeous girls hope the weather is good for you and youcan get out a bit with them , we have a nanny on the Tuesday yippee my friend 5hats lost her OH , her g/d is here from Canada and has volunteered for a few hrs to spend time with them think I might hit the gin bottle to celebrate 👍🏻
Surprised that funeral isn’t till the 19th February that will be nearly a month since he died shocking isn’t it
Oma congrats on the new arrival love the name too

[Plantaholic]

That is disappointing Oma, not to get the scan results.

I take my hat off to all you GM's childminding, I did a bit but I was working at the time my GC were small.

[WeeGranny]
