Today I have been mainly...Volume 3

Loved seeing my little angel today and the big one as well of course.
The only problem is I've strained my wrist somehow. ?driving . Lifting dgd? Anyway it hurts. So can't type any more tonight
Work tomorrow , so early night?
Goodnight all.

Hello ladybird often do that, then I cant remember what I have written

gally

grannya It must be hard to keep smiling when you wave them off, but the world is a small place and they are just a flight away, as they say you have done your job well

ariadne I am enjoying your travel log cant wait for the next installment, its fantastic to see what the fundraising has achieved and how it has helped so many people.

greatnan I am pleased you have had contact with your GD thats what you needed

Night jeni hope your wrists feel easier tomorrow.

ga thinking of you - I understand how hard this is for you.

jeni - I hope a night's rest sorts out the pain

GA I know just how you are feeling. Part of you is missing and it will be like that for a long while. However, you will eventually get your head around it and it does become easier to accept especially when you see how happy they are in their new life. Keep the faith, as they say!

Jeni take it easy today and hope the wrist has improved over night

Gleneagles was an 'experience' - never had my car parked for me before - and always a member of staff at every turn to assist. We spent the afternoon, after a walk, in the leisure area but didn't have any extras - I thought £190 for a basic massage a bit over the top . The food was amazing and was preceded by drinks in the lounge (although I had the forsight to take a bottle of bubbly with me which we enjoyed in our room beforehand thus saving a massive £90). I sound like Mrs Scrooge, but I found it quite difficult to get to grips with all the charges and surcharges - I suppose if you are really really wealthy it doesn't matter!! I think J would have enjoyed the experience but, like me, would have put it down to a one-off.
When I got home yesterday afternoon I spent 2 hours on my knees clearing the leaves and mud from the surface water gully round our kitchen extension. Duck eggs, champagne and smoked salmon in the morning and good hard manual labour in the afternoon - how John would have laughed!
Thank you all for your good wishes.

Good morning, gally - What a lovely post.

Great to hear how you are getting on gally

gally that would have certainly have brought you back down to earth having to start clearing gullies once you got back [smiles]

Gally

So glad you enjoyed the 'Gleneagles experience' and such a luxurious breakfast! Not so sure about the manual labour - you may have to go back for a massage after doing that. What is certain is that your sense of humour is going strong and one of the reasons why we love you.

Gally Gleneagles was a super gift to you from dear John. It made me when I read about your cost cutting tricks. We always take a bottle of malt with us whenever we share a treat. A few wee drams in the room...and by the end of the evening, we're feeling no pain. You are never far from my thoughts. Continue to get strong, and well done for cleaning the gullies.

Good old gally! I'm so glad you enjoyed your treat and managed to dodge silly excess charges.

So glad you enjoyed it Gally,and as for cleaning the gullies, well life goes on doesn't it?

Where is everybody tonight? Have you all been frightened off by Borum?
I'm lonely
Even jing seems AWOL! [desolate]emoticon

I've only just got in jeni ...perhaps there's something good on tv that they are all watching?

Hi Jeni - I'm here.

Hi jeni we are all here just looking about.

Good! I was beginning to feel I was on the wasteland!

It is quiet on here what mischief can we get up too

Did you think we had all gone over to the Oldie

YES!

Today I skipped my session at CAB - didn't want to spread this cold virus. Had to go out though, for more tissues - have used an astonishing number this week! Must be fit for Saturday when I'm going 'down south' to inspect my son and DiL's new house. They move tomorrow, so I have been told I can help with the unpacking. Yeah, right! Assuming that they never want to find anything ever again!

Dont work to hard annobel

Annobel, hope you're feeling better tomorrow. (((get well hug)))
