Happy Anniversary Avril & Frank, hope you have a lovely day Michelle

Thank you Graham

I sent this to my daughter who thought it was funny too and very apt for her right now. She is hoping to be admitted into hospital later today to be induced or failing that she is booked in for a section on Monday. Apparently it’s a big baby and they want to deliver baby before due date which is next Tuesday. I am excited!! I am just about to set off to Kendal on a girls weekend, back Sunday morning and hopefully straight to see new grandchild. It’s all happening in our house at the moment!!! Have a lovely weekend everyone Michelle

I love fruit salad and blackjacks!! Do you remember floral gums and spangles? And strawberry shoe laces? My grandad used to love the shoelaces but had problems chewing them because of his false teeth, didn’t stop him trying though!!! And chocolate chewing nuts?? It was a real treat going with spending money to get some sweets Michelle

Happy Birthday hope you have a lovely day 🎂 Michelle

You will have a wonderful time in Bath it is lovely. We went to the Thermae Spa when we were there, a lovely way to spend a few hours. Have a great time Michelle

My hubby will be watching that match too today I am sure. My favourite coffee too Jane, I usually manage to get a small one in Home Bargains for £3 and more recently have been able to get the larger ones at Tesco or Sainsbury’s on offer at £5. Well done on your start to been a non-smoker Michelle

It’s so difficult getting the right food that suits them isn’t it? We have a 12 year old golden retriever that has a sensitive stomach. We use Healthy Options food for him(on internet). We mix it with fresh chicken( we buy and cook him a fresh chicken each week), rice and a few veg, it seems to keep his stomach settled. Hope you get something sorted Michelle

Glad her painkillers are working well and that she has her injections booked for next week. I am sure she appreciates everything you and Pauline do for her, you are both very kind and compassionate people Michelle

Well done on becoming a non-smoker, I am sure you will be successful. Maybe if you are having a hard day just imagine how much money you are saving for extra cruises I wish you every success On the weather front it’s a lovely but cold day here. Just been out with the dogs and I am freezing now so sat down with a hot drink Michelle

Fingers crossed for Sarah the injection route works and she can avoid surgery. Unfortunately I had no options, consultant said I needed surgery asap. I tell myself I am lucky because there are many people in a lot worse situation than me. I am going to the gym in an hour, machines that move my legs and arms and I put up resistance against them. Not your normal gym but it is invaluable for me. Maybe there is something like this for Sarah to use during her rehabilitation when she feels a bit better Take care all if you Michelle

I should have also said Graham I have a friend at the gym who had the same thing who is absolutely fine now. Hopefully Sarah will be fine too. My last post sounded all doom and gloom and it more than likely won’t be Michelle

Sorry to hear this Graham. I had cauda equine in Dec2003/Jan 2004. I have never had pain like it. My bowels and bladder stopped working and I had so much pain medication I cannot remember everything. I know now I should have been operated on within 24 hours but I was left 6 days, as a result I have drop foot, permanent nerve damage and no reflexes in my left leg. I really hope she gets her operation quickly and she makes a full recovery. I will be thinking about her Michelle

We have a NHS dentist, was 12 months on the waiting list when we moved over here Michelle

Hopefully just a bit of a “blip” and she’s better tomorrow Michelle

Hope you have a lovely time, it will certainly be warmer there than here Michelle

Great photos Graham Michelle

Can’t wait now, everyone saying positive things about Madeira Michelle

I am really looking forward to Madeira, I have a feeling one day is not going to be long enough Michelle

We have booked the cable car & toboggan run. Thank you for all the other information Michelle

Thank you, everyone has positive things to say about Madeira so really looking forward to it. Sorry to hear about all the traumas happening for you too. I can sympathise with your mum about gallbladder pain it really is awful. I spent 11 days in hospital with gall bladder problems which affected my pancreas so they removed my gallbladder within a couple of weeks. Hope she recovers quickly and gets home asap. Michelle

Thanks Avril, you are right it is good news and I should look on the positive side. I am on countdown to my cruise now Michelle

Hope you get your scan before you go. I dread them, I close my eyes until I am out again. I was on 90 mins last time, it was hard keeping still that long. Hope it all goes well for you Michelle

We are on the same cruise, we join on the 25th. You will see me around on my mobility scooter so stop me to to say hello 👋 Michelle
