The all new Chatbox!

[Daisy]

Libra - poor little T, that sounds really horrible and painful. The only consolation I can think of is that young bones heal quickly and well. As if you needed anything else to worry about! Sending hugs to both you and T. xxx

[Nana]

Daisy I'm sure they just want to help the bleeding to stop. It might be a case of the longer they leave it the worse it gets....so best sorted eh? Enfys your OH (&you of course) is remarkable. Hoping all you worrying about things get comfort one way or another.

DD2s children for a sleepover tomoro. I made blackout blinds for two bedrooms so hoping it might help little GD sleep longer than 4.30am. Tired out already but DD needs a night's sleep so thought we'd help.

Went in Clarke's to get new sandals for GD today. There was a poor little old fella having trouble doing up his shoes. Ended up fastening his laces & helping him put the other shoe on. Bless his little cotton socks.

Morning from a sunny Poole, usual routine here, but we are out to friends tonight for drinks and lots of chat.

[Nanto2girls]

Bright,but not sunny here.

Libra,hope the surgery goes well for T.

Shopping for us today. I think we are going to Wakefield.

[Clover]

Morning all .Bright here at the moment

Busy day yesterday so no chance to comment .

Libra,sorry that T has had an accident. Hope op goes well.She will be more comfy once it’s been repaired properly.

Enfys your OH has such a wonderful attitude. I wish I could have such a positive outlook on problems.

Daisy I’m pleased OH has an early appointment .I’m sure he will be sorted out promptly.Just be prepared for a bit of a wait in the clinic. In our own experience and that of my BIL who has had numerous eye appointments and treatments the eye clinic always seems to be heaving,but I hope you will be lucky and are seen quickly.

Nana I hope the blackout blinds do the trick. How kind of you to help the little lad.Laces can be tricky things. Obviously your Granny instincts took over.

Have a good day out there.

[Plantaholic]

Libra I hope the surgery goes well for T, wonder what colour plaster she will choose. I agree with you Libra, housework and joy do not go together, I get it done so that I can get on with something I enjoy.

Very dull here, hope it gets better, must go and check if GD! is back from a "Rave" in London, not her kind of thing really but she got an invite and against her parents wishes she agreed to go, she isn't really streetwise although she is 24. Hope she had fun but stayed safe. GS2 is going camping in the New Forest, Daisy,. Brockenhurst I believe.

Hope GD sleeps well Nana, 4.30 is a bit early.

Daisy, very pleased to hear your OH has an appt. at the eye clinic.

No plans for today, see what comes along

[Qwerty]

Morning all. Quiet day today famous last words but that’s the plan
Thats quite a break Libra and a lot of discomfort , sounds awful , surgerybwontv e pleasant neither but you need time at home at the moment and a night out with friends will do you the world of good
Nana we have blackout blinds and they work a treat for us in fact I leave a chink of light at the bottom for me as I wouldn’t get up till lunch time otherwise 😀 Good deed for the day yesterday consider yourself blessed , enjoy the company of the family today
Enjoy Wakefield Nan2 do you go to the Trinity shopping ?

[Nana]

Clover 'the little old fella' must have been in his late 80s. So I think it was more a case of the daughter instinct kicking in.😉

I also made a blackout blind for my DD as GD's waking at 4-5am. She put it up 1st time last night & she slept til 8am. Hope it continues. I'm just resting up before we collect GC for their sleepover.

Gem is S back yet? Libra I hope your poor little GD is ok.

Edit... sorry Qwerty & Plant, you posted while I was still writing. Plant I hope GD had a good night. Qwerty DD now wants me to make a blackout blind for her son's room.

[Enfys]

Good morning from the sunny south. Not much planned for today but there is a knit and natter group at the library this afternoon so might pop along and have a nosey. Had a good session at the gym yesterday, it was our last cardiac rehab session so we got our certificates! We have our proper gym induction next week then we can go and use all the machines. It is all very well supervised with nurses in attendance too just in case any one has had problems and we are looking forward to it. There was a lady there who had had here chemo the day before which was interesting for DH to see.

LG, poor aged, how painful for her....it’s onemthing after the other, isnt it. Hope the op goes well.

[Oma]

Morning ladies
Just finished my ironing , I usually do it the day I wash and dry but just couldn't get the energy up to do it yesterday too tired , its done now though .
All clean and tidy so not much else to do might give the drawers in the kitchen another hoover and wipe , im sure someone opens them drawers and throws a bag of crumbs in them its a on going battle for me .

How is everyone today ?
Libra will be thinking about T hope she's not waiting long to go to surgery ,
Plant hope GD is ok no hangovers
Qwerty now saying that you just know your peace is going to be shattered , How's J doing is he any better ?
Nanto are you shopping for anything special ,
Nana Blackout blinds are a must I think especially in kids rooms .

[Qwerty]

He’s not too bad at the moment thanks Oma it’s decision time at our house, we are looking at a couple more houses and if nothing then it’s not meant to be and I will be spending some serious money on the flipping house, that gets him down a bit, not me spending money lol

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies.

Poor little GD Libra, I do feel for her, especially with everything else that has been going on for her. The night out will do you good.
All your cleaning done Oma, and I am still in bed!!
Enfys you and OH are going to become Gym Babes
Nana, I bet that blackout blind is welcome! My GC all have them.
Have fun shopping Nan2.
I hope something works out for you house hunting Qwerty

DD and GS1 coming round this morning. OH and I going to the racecourse to look around the York Pride event for a couple of hours this afternoon. Friends are having a barbecue tonight, and the forecast is good!

Have a good day everyone.

[Daisy]

Another 'good morning' from the sunny south coast! Plant it's perfect camping weather here in Brockenhurst for your GS2. There are about 4 campsites in/on the edge of the village and a few more a little further away. I hope he has a good time. I wonder if your GD enjoyed the rave? I'm sure she was very sensible.

Libra - thought are with little T. xxx

Nana - you are in for a busy day - I hope they sleep well with those lovely blinds.

Qwerty - good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Enfys - knit and natter sounds lovely, and probably just what you need - a time to just chat and relax a bit. I'm sure the gym will help to keep both your spirits up especially while OH is having treatment.

Clover - the eye clinic actually has a warning on the website saying in effect 'you could be here for hours'. OH has said he'll go on his own as it's one of my GD days, and we know the other gran is away this week, so no chance of any help.

Gem - have a lovely day, and for once it looks as though you'll have good weather for the barbecue.

Nanto - enjoy your shopping. Definitely a summery graphic today.. xx

[Mimi]

Morning one and all.

Oma you are going the right way to become a member of the MT’s club. Ironing the day after you have done the washing indeed !

Libra how is T , hopefully not in too much pain today, hope her op goes well.


Qwerty hope today is a good day house hunting/decision day for you

Its over cast here today but the sun is trying its best to shine.
We don’t have anything planned, apart from the bottle of prosecco in the fridge that is going to be drunk sometime today !

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, it was just ordinary shopping we went for, although i did buy a white top with pink flowers on.
Looks very summery.

Qwerty, we always park in Trinity Walk,then go into town centre.
When we come back for the car,we always shop in Sainsburys.
