Morning Nanto, ladies.

Gem
What a good idea to take me time. You need to recharge your batteries quietly,
Don't worry about coming on here let your mind rest a while , we will understand xxx

Nanto
Enjoy your browse around town
Will you meet hubby for lunch ?

I'm off to Sainsbury's soon to take two vest tops back ,
Lovely colours and fabric but the arm holes are so wide they go almost down to my waist,
I hate things like that.
I will call in Asda while I am at the shopping mall look at their water filter jugs.

It's not bad morning doesn't feel as cold as yesterday.

Yesterday,MIL got. In a right strop with me,
She had bought a blouse and a duvet cover from Morrisons when we were there on Thursday,
Well as we knew would happen she wanted to take them back.
She wanted me to take them back yesterday, I said no we are going Thursday for your shopping we can take them back then,
I'm not making two journeys,
Well she went off on one ,saying the bag was cluttering up the place,
No it's all the other rubbish you have lying around that's the problem.

Then it was then trying the guilt trip, saying we'll I will try to go myself on the bus,
I called her bluff and just said well it will get you out of the house.

The look she gave me ,it was daggers drawn 😁

I said I will put the bag in the boot then it's out of the way ,
She wasn't happy and was in a right mood when we left.

Goodness me what a difficult lady, you are a saint to deal with her.

[Daisy]

Good Tuesday morning, everyone.

Nanto, your fairy is obviously welcoming Spring. Very cheery, thank you. Are your hangers all the same? My DIL1 swears by those thin slightly velvety feeling hangers. She's got what seems like hundreds of them. I'm still using bright yellow ones which Johnsons Dry Cleaners used to use for suits. They work fine for trousers. The rest are just a mish mash.

Gem, I hope you slept well last night, and it's a good plan to have a quiet day if you can. Your DD3 is in my thoughts having her chemo treatment. I can imagine it was a week-end of mixed emotions for you. xxx

Oma, you wonder sometimes who clothes are designed and made for. Why would they make armholes so large! Your MIL takes the biscuit! You could write a book about her, but good for you saying she would have to wait till Thursday to return the blouse and duvet cover. I would have loved to see her face when you said to go on the bus!

Plant, I'm pleased you were able to log on, even if it was a bit awkward. I still can't work out why, though. I hope you were able to get your compost. I was surprised to see our milkman delivers it! Are you planting up pots for summer? It's lovely planning what to get and choosing varieties and colours. I'm sure you are careful not to overdo it, even though I bet you are tempted. I feel the same. I try to stop before I hurt my back or something silly. It's still chilly here, but I'll do a bit of weeding after lunch.

I'm booked for a telephone consultation with the Consultant today, so can't stray far from the landline until that's done. It's booked for 3.20 but I've found that it's usually much earlier or much later. Eva won't be amused if we miss her usual walkies slot!

[Plantaholic]

Daisy, We have a local shop that sells compost and plants, I will go and see what he has got. Hairdresser today, I feel quite tidy now she has cut my hair. I hope your conversation with the Consultant goes well.

I have pots in the courtyard that I try to keep colourful but find it a bit difficult now, so take it slowly, no rushing. My Sil deals with the hedges and grass but my DD has no interest in gardening apart from sitting in it on a sunny day. I shall get in touch with a gardener to tidy my borders.

Gem, I hope the holiday was a success, especially for the children.

Oma, your Mil would try the patience of a Saint, I think you have the right attitude towards her.

[Oma]

Plant
It's a case of not letting her get away with it or bully you.
She does bully her DDs but I'm I different kettle of fish , I just won't stand for it ,
She is hard work and it does sound like we are always there doing things and taking her places ,
But in reality it's only a couple of times a week and appointments in between,
A couple of times a week is enough for me , if she was a nicer lady we would go more often , but she is not so we don't .

I hope you don't overdo it in the garden,
Don't go lifting heavy bags of compost get your SIL to take them out of the car.

You feel so much better after a haircut don't you.

Daisy
Waiting for them phone calls takes all the day don't they, they say a time but it can actually as you say be much earlier or much later,
B once had a consultant ring him At 6 pm her call was supposed to be 1.30,
When she rang we could hear all this noise and she said , sorry about the noise I'm making tea for the children,
Very unprofessional.

Will these be the results of your blood tests to see if your ok for your next treatment?

It's raining here and very cold , the heating is back on

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, pouring with rain here as well.
We meet up for coffee but don't eat out on a Tuesday.
MIL her usual charming self again.

Daisy, hope your phone consultation went well.

[Daisy]

It's been cold here all day, but started to rain mid-afternoon. When I eventually took Eva out about 5.30 there was a really cold wind.

The phone consultation went fine. The consultant was happy with the blood test results, and I put in my order for items I'm getting short of. They issue a full month's worth of most things when I go for treatment, but I need a new sharps bin and a couple of other items. So, hopefully all organised. OH did a fantastic job on weeding in the front garden today. There are now some gaps that need filling with plants before the weeds take hold again. OH isn't meeting up with his car pals tomorrow as the weather forecast is awful, so we might go to the garden centre and get a few bits and pieces.

[Gemini]

Daisy I'm glad the consultation was fine.

Its wet and windy and horrible here!
All the gas pipes in our road are being replaced with plastic ones at the moment. They have reached us and tomorrow it is our turn to have our gas turned off and pavement in front of the house dug up. The fencing around the holes already dug is blowing all over the place tonight

I was at the library this morning but done very little since. I did cook our tea though!

[Daisy]

Gem, we're having new gas pipes as well. It's a bit late now, but I'll write about the fiasco because of being in a National Park tomorrow! Night night everyone.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. Its wild out there.

Daisy, glad the con̈sultation went well.

No plans for us today.

[Oma]

Morning Nanto, Ladies.

I'm popping to the Drs today see if I can get an appointment,
I'm very short of breath when I'm walking then my eyes go funny and I either feel faint or I do faint,
I did yesterday in Asda , really embarrassing, so it needs sorting.

Apart from that nothing planned, see how the day goes.

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone

Yes, Oma do get checked out and let us know xx

Nan2, it was so wild and windy here last night but it seems a bit calmer now.

Aqua class this morning, Tesco delivery this afternoon. Plus the gas men around! How they will actually deliver our shopping I'm not sure

[Daisy]

Good Wednesday morning, everyone.

Nanto, that poor lass will catch her death in that skimpy dress.

Oma, you definitely need to see the doctor. I hope you can get an appointment today. Did you actually faint yesterday? I hope you are taking it easy and being kind to yourself.

Gem, it was quite windy here too, a very cold wind. The sun's shining this morning, and the wind has dropped a bit, but the forecast was much worse. The gas men working on the small roads round us keep half the road open and will put ramps across any driveways where access is needed. I hope you get your shopping.

OH hasn't gone to his pals for his car day today. The forecast was so bad they called it off. So he's outside finishing off his trailer, which he's rebuilt from the frame upwards. It looks like new. This afternoon we're going to the garden centre to get some plants for the front garden. I want to get plants in before the weeds take over.

[Plantaholic]

A bit wild here today although the sun is shining now. Games for me this afternoon. Unfortunately one of our members died two days ago so they will announce it today. The lovely lady is someone I have known for a long time, she was the mother of a very good school friend of my DD.

Oma you certainly need to see a medic. It could be you are anaemic.

Daisy, no change in treatment for you, good news I presume.

DD and Sil go to Spain on Monday, H is going away for 4 days with her daddy and his sister. I am finding this change in her life difficult so she must be confused. GD1 and I will be on our own.

[Oma]

Well I was at the Drs by 8 am ,
Told receptionist my symptoms, told her I fainted yesterday,and it's not the first time in the last 2 weeks or more,she rang through to the Dr and he sent me to hospital,
I was in there by 8.30
Turned out I have a heart murmur, and when I stand up my BP drops a lot ,

I have to stop some of my meds for high BP , see my GP for further tests and to tweek other meds,
He said rest and try not to get stressed,
Fine chance of that with MIL,
Hopefully once my meds are changed and depending on the results of more tests it should be ok.
He asked if was always as pale as I was today,
I hadn't noticed but B said yes the past few weeks I have been , and yesterday when I fainted I was sheet white.

I'm on my way home now, I will call into the Drs in the morning and make the appointment,I'm too tired today now.
