[Daisy]

Gem - how lovely to have some time with GD - enjoy yourselves.

Plant - I hope you enjoyed your Aqua class.

Enfys (you posted while I was typing) - it's such a contrast with yesterday, isn't it. I don't feel very inspired to get out and do any gardening when it's so dull and damp, although it's not cold.

I think it's time I went for me shower and got my 'me' day started - otherwise it will be over before I've realised!

Good morning ladies. Its drizzly and dull here this morning but in an effort to waken myself up I have done some yoga this morning and so far that hasn't helped !

Going to cook a sausage for lunch but I wish I had thought of it earlier and made it in the slow cooker like Nan2 .

We have got DS coming to stay for the weekend as its his birthday so I have added a few extra treats on to my online grocery shopping, its amazing how a few extra items can add ££££s to the bill

Hospital went fine they have lost his last blood test for his immune system so had to take more today ,

Just read back my post...well times are hard you know, half a sausage each will be fine.
Should have put sausage casserole, I said the yoga hadn’t woken me up didn’t I 😆😉

[Gemini]

I did wonder about the one sausage too Oma Times can be hard for those on a pension you know!

[Gemini]

Rain, rain and more rain here. My Little Pony movie was decided against in favour of a day in at Grandmas (I can't say I was sorry to miss it )
OH had no golf due to the rain , so the 3 of us had lunch in our favourite cafe .We then went to the charity shop and left with yet another Barbie for Grandmas collection!

[WeeGranny]

Been to tip with grass cuttings and rotten apples ( still some decent ones left on trees and those for chutney/freezing in bucket!). Now defrosting freezer in garage. Frost had built up to the extent that the door was becoming difficult to close!! Drizzly now, glad I got some outside work done yesterday.
Sausage casserole was a popular dish when family lived at home. Haven't made one for ages (OH not keen on sausages). Cottage pie tonight for us.

Mimi, i wondered about the 1 sausage as well.

Gem, no rain here yet,but it has turned very cold.
You ought to use your slow cooker Gem. Our dinner was lovely today, hubby asked for seconds.
I filled the slow cooker,and there is enough left to freeze for 3 meals.

Don't know if you ladies know or not,but you can get liners for slow cookers,i never use mine without a liner.
Sometimes,when the cooker has been on for quite a few hours,food can stick to the ceramic pot.
Using a liner makes washing it a very easy task.

Never knew about liners for slow cookers, I will have to have a look for some before I make my one sausage casserole again 😆

[Gemini]

Mimi, even my GD was amused when I told her about the one sausage in the slow cooker
She then asked who the people were I was talking to. I said a group of friends who are Grandmas, and instead of meeting up in a club or cafe, we meet online

I was a poorly person yesterday with a really horrendous nosebleed. From 10am. Was in A&E for hours last night until early in the morning. Lovely husband was with me despite having been up since 3.30am and working since 4.30am. I did tell him to go home and I would get a cab but he wouldn’t, I suppose I wouldn’t have left him either. We got home early hours of the morning and husband had a few hours sleep before going off to work again. I worked although the decorators were here and it got to 2pm and I was feeling very poorly and tired so I told them I was going to have a lie down. I woke up at 4pm and they had finished and cleaned up after themselves.

I did manage to get to the supermarket but didn’t feel well at all, should have listened to my body and gone with what was in the cupboard/fridge.

Hopefully there will will be no repeat for performances of the nosebleed which was absolutely awful and I got very distressed and had a small panic attack. I emailed my line manager and told her and she said she knew I wouldn’t take time off but if I don’t then to take it easy and stop if I feel I need to. I do hve some rather lovel6ruises from the blood tests and the cannula for the drip (I was dehydrated apparently but then I didn’t have anything to drink yesterday at all because every time I moved the “tap” came on!). I have made sure to drink plenty of water today but I have been sick a couple of times, a lot of dark yucky blood which they said would happen because of the bleed. Sorry squeamish people........ I feel much better now, I think the sleep was very badly needed.

[Gemini]

I read about this on FB earlier, Zizi, it sounds awful. I really feel for you. Severe nosebleeds are one of my great fears. Years ago my mums friend had one like you describe and ended up at A&E. She never had any recurrence.
Do take care of yourself xxxx

[Mimi]

Zizi hopefully with a good nights sleep tonight you will feel a lot better tomorrow. You poor body must have gone into shock at the amount of blood you lost . Get well soon .

I have the feeling I am not going to live this ‘ one sausage casserole ‘ down am I 😆
Gem it’s a lovely description of us lot, a group of friends who meet online. Perfect. x
