Annobel Sun 27-May-12 11:04:52

My GC are now big enough to haul me up off the floor. grin

Oxon70 Sun 27-May-12 11:13:26

jeni - No! Protecting myself! And others, if I tried driving to all appts,two days running!

Thinks...still haven't been a girl for years, mutter mutter.....

jeni Sun 27-May-12 11:23:14

Have you looked into the possibility of hospital transport?

Jacey Sun 27-May-12 12:13:41

Oxon70 do you have a WRVS near you ...they have volunteers who will do hospital car transport sunshine

Oxon70 Sun 27-May-12 13:22:35

If this sort of thing happens again, I will look into being transported....

At the moment I think I am trying to hang onto independance - part of this is the worry that I will be iller and not be able to look after myself so everything I can do I will

Oxon that's the spirit! flowers but don't overdo it wink

Oxon70 Sun 27-May-12 14:14:35

Thanks Ella sunshine

Ella46 Sun 27-May-12 14:27:49

I love my new name! Every time anyone calls me Ella, I get a warm feeling and remember my mum, it's lovely. smile

kittylester Sun 27-May-12 14:56:13

Hi Ella - nice name!

Oxon - don't be too independent smile

Annobel Sun 27-May-12 16:08:42

Ella - your mum's is a nice name. Shame about Chrissy but I like the new one even better. Wouldn't use my mum's name - Ethel! Not in a million years.

Ariadne Sun 27-May-12 17:17:43

Ella I'm so glad you like your name - I was ready to get cross with the other person, on your behalf!

Ella46 Sun 27-May-12 18:33:33

Thanks Ariadne, no point getting annoyed, I think the other person might have enjoyed that! hmm
Anyway, I like a change now and again grin

jeni Sun 27-May-12 18:43:36

Think I might do a jing as well. I'm far to visible according to DD! I don't think she meaning my weight?confused

Oxon70 Tue 29-May-12 07:12:41

I want to change my name too - how? Tell me!
I'm Alison, but there's another Alison, I'd like to be Alie, so if someone appears called that, that's me.

Gally Tue 29-May-12 07:19:55

All this name changing is so confusing - it takes me weeeeeks to remember just who you all were before! confused

Oxon70 Tue 29-May-12 07:23:10

Actually I still intend to change my surname back to my maiden name, as I said at New Year....too much happening to do it yet!

jeni Tue 29-May-12 07:23:37

Mutter mutter, what sort of time of the morning is this. It's still the middle of the night!
I hate working in foreign tribunals, it means getting up before the blackbird!

JessM Tue 29-May-12 07:27:30

Hi oxon - but we like being about to picture you in oxfordshire. We've got enough to contend with, with J changing her name every week. She is evidently the expert.
I changed my name back to maiden name when i got divorced. As you have a birth cert in your maiden name this is not difficult. I guess the tedious bit is all the bills etc and the driving licence. Lots of individual admin tasks.

Oxon70 Tue 29-May-12 07:41:25

How about AlieOxon?

jeni Tue 29-May-12 07:45:49

I LIKE oxon, it has a certain je ne sais quoi?

glassortwo Tue 29-May-12 07:50:01

Good morning everyone, well the sun has gone hmm still cant complain.
Alieoxon I think everyone would work out is you without too much problem smile

Oxon70 Tue 29-May-12 07:52:42

Someone tell me how to do it?

And I want it in 'camelcase' ... ie two capitals!

glassortwo Tue 29-May-12 07:56:32

AlieOxon I havent done it but I think you just contact GNHQ on contactus@gransnet, wheres jingle when you need her.

Oxon70 Tue 29-May-12 08:01:38

No sooner posted than done!

AlieOxon Tue 29-May-12 11:51:05

Hello all........here I am!
