MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU and hope you have a wonderful time with family or friends. I will be away in Birmingham from tomorrow and so will not be able to post anything (not allowed internet access while there!). I hope to get back on track in the New Year. Gilly, Suffolk UK

Thanks Barbie

Sylvia - I am so sorry for all the pain you and your son are going through. It must be so hard for him to know he will not be there for the children as they grow. Hugs to all of you. We have asthma in our family but luckily that is all, and their medication works well. Katla - So typical that you get a harder work out…

Just 'marking my spot' as poop says. Not read everything as been busy getting a weekends worth of housework done today due to being at work every day next week. Hope you all have an enjoyable week. I am hoping to make most of the sunshine as they are warning it will only be here for a little while. Sad news today that…

Hi everyone, Barbie - thanks for the new thread (sorry nearly typed threat!). Love your august goals but why 'speak up not sulk?' What did I miss??? Poop - have you managed to get some pain killers yet? I hope you have and that they are working on getting rid of the nasty pain. Lisa - hope you are enjoying a well earned…

Poop - hope you get the meds you need real soon. Terri - I agree with Janetr that your dad looks so young and handsome. Lisa - Congrats on all the hard work you and your wonderful family have put in on the restaurant and hope you manage to have a great time with everyone this weekend. I am now going to join in the august…

Just saying hi to everyone as not been about for a week and lots to catch up with (too nosey to just miss out on reading). Sorry that Carol and Pip are still feeling out of sorts (although as I am still four days behind things may have picked up, hoping they have anyway, prayers for you both. Want to say I will try harder…

Many Happy Returns to Kirby - are you sure you have got his age correct???? He looks so young - lucky him. Janet - that does not sound good, hope you are feeling a lot better soon (((hugs))) Heather - well done on getting so many words down, and enjoy your time in London with pals. Hope everyone else has a wonderful…

Yes Penny, it did make me giggle when I read what Poop and Kirby were doing on the escalators :blush:

Thanks Heather, you understand, we have such big plans when we are expecting don't we? Then for there to be nothing is such a heartbreak. You look wonderful at the garden party. Love the hat. Yvonne - Thanks for the suggestion, I have just ordered the first book in the Louise Penny series and will see if I like it. Love…

Grits - Hope new meds help the bronchitis. Hooray for nearly being arrested! Carol - So sorry that you are having problems. Sometimes life just hits you so many different ways BUT why does it have to do it when you are already on the floor? More hugs for you. Kim - How wonderful of your mum to actually show how much she…

miriamwithcats - I am the same about reading. I tend to find an author I enjoy and keep reading until I get to the end of the series. I love Michael Connelly, Peter James, M C Beaton and lots more. Totally escapist stuff.

Poop - I agree with Sylvia and I have never worn a suit like that either, and you look so good in it! Joyce - aren't grandchildren wonderful? I am looking forward to going up to Wolverhampton to see my eldest granddaughter's prize giving ceremony at her school next week. It is her last year at this school. The two others…

I am here but have still got a lot of reading to do from last month. I am sure I will catch up soon. Happy July everyone. Gillian, Suffolk UK

Lesley - prayers for your daughter and you. Hope everything works out well. Poop - Oh my goodness you are suffering with your eyes. Hope you manage to do the bike ride without harming yourself any more. Joyce - Hayfever is awful. Especially for the people around you if you have the constant sneezing and watery eyes :-)…

sorry I have been absent for a while but busy week. I have just become a grandmother again! Little boy (not sure of weight) born 11.07 uk time today. In SCBU as 3.5 weeks early but parents assure me all is well. Will be going to visit this evening. Will be away all next week as youngest granddaughters birthday next friday.…

Selena - Hugs and prayers for you and your daughter. TNToni - Ouch! Keep saying no, but no pool for two weeks - OMG! Sisterpam - You sound as if you are in the same position as me. I also have about half of me to get rid of. It is lovely to see all the people on this site who have worked so hard to reach their goals but…

Hi to Fiona, Mary Ann, kidsfirst30, Glimmersilver, Donna, Jadepearl, Caz and anyone else who is new and I have missed. Barbie - I am one of the silly women who thinks oooh I have got .... calories left, what can I use them on. And then I wonder why I am not loosing as much as I want to. Have got to try again and think a…

Terri - I am sure you appreciate how lucky you are to have that sort of a work situation. I got told we are a professional company and that I have to have that sort of an attitude. When there used to be another girl who worked on reception with me, we used to talk to one another and one of the patients wrote on a 'friends…

Terri - I am also at work today and am sitting here trying to stiffle giggles while I imagine what the patients in the waiting room would think if they saw me get up and start shaking my legs or stretching up to the ceiling :smiley: Maybe I will try it next week :wink:

Hi everyone - I am another one who reads all but can only reply to few. DeeDee - Starbucks hot chocolate - Yum, apple fritter would not do it for me and I am sorry to say that I do not even know what a country ham biscuit is! Sylvia - so glad it was a false alarm but always worth getting checked out. Never a waste of time.…

Barbie - you must have read my mind. I was just thinking that I had not seen a picture of you, only your babies and the dancing figures in you messages. How wonderful you look and it is just lovely to see who I am speaking to. :smiley: DeeDee - I am so jealous of your retirement. New rules in England now mean that I have…

Thanks Barbie for posting thread. Carol - Just as well he lives a long way from you. Try again now you have done it once, second time is always easier. (Unlike many others here, my partnership has only been 5 years - although if counted as times we actually spend together it is probably less than 1 year!) Cynthia - Hope…

Hi all, looking forward to joining in a bit more in June. Have been suffering from the dreaded cold like so many more on here, so nothing much to report. Not been able to swim. Have managed to go to work. Congratulations to all on garage sales, house moving, holidays and weight losses. Commiserations to all who have had…

OH my goodness Terri that is just beautiful - I want one!!! Went out to eat last night with my son and menu had not got any calorie values, so I guessed at what I thought would be better than the enourmous burger that he had. When I got home I googled it and found it was 1,325, so despite it being delicous I will not be…

MNMargaret, Heather, Pip and Lisa, love the pics, especially the scales :-) Lucky, lucky Barbie, How wonderful your husband sounds, they usually (in my experience) manage to say completely the wrong thing! thanks Terri - I know I should have gone swimming yesterday morning but the duvet had such a tight hold on me that it…

Janet - enjoy your cruise and you will be in my prayers till you are safely back home. It is so lovely when you have friends like that. Meg - Happy belated Birthday. Barbie - sounds as if holiday is lots of fun and I am sure your babies are missing you too! Patceoh - I have printed off the Subject to Read and will try to…

EMCOX - You have joined just by posting, as Barbie always says just add a name you would like to be known by and your location and join in whenever you like :-)

Heather - you forgot our wonderful 'toad-in-the-hole' and steak and kidney pudding!! I do have my groceries delivered but that is because I do not drive and often have not got a 'chauffeur' to take me there and back and the groceries are much too heavy to carry on the bus! but I have NEVER had a cleaner, maybe I should…

Heather - hope you enjoy holiday, where in Wales are you staying. Sorry if you have said before but everything is so jumbled :-( Talking of the election, I know it is silly but I just feel so sorry for the Lib Dems. Sylvia - That is the sort of thing I would add if I thought I was being soppy, but it is nice he is being…
