Morning all from a very wet NE, a lot of snow about, my boss hasn't been able to get in to the office today, but no snow here, just sleet. Had a very late night last night, due to DH waking up at 7.30 with very severe pain in his eyes. He has had a lot of problems with them, and is waiting for a date for another operation, but he has never complained about pain in them before. Decided to ring 111 at 8.15, finally getting through about and them deciding to send ambulance about 8.45. This turned up at 10.45 but they were unsure what to do with him!!! 12.30 and after them ring to talk to a dr, it was agreed he didn't need to go to A & E, that it wasn't serious, and by this time the pain wasn't as bad, just need to ring his eye hospital to check what needs to be done. Our local hospital doesn't have an Eye department. Hopefully his date for his op will come soon. Thinking of Gillybob today and hope her DH gets his op today and all is well.

Good morning all from a very wet mid-Notts. Our back garden looks to be just about underwater AGAIN!! We live close to a river and this has been a regular occurrence this winter. We live in an old converted corn mill and thankfully our living accommodation is on first and second floor. It must just be so awful to have water actually come in to your living space. Thinking of the gillybobs today and all who are poorly or have worries to contend with x

Good morning from a very wet Bristol getting boring now we need some proper sunshine.
Urmston it does take a long time to read every ones posts and by the time I get to the end I have forgotten a lot of it and I do feel bad that I cant mention people so I just hope everyone has a good day .
Special thought to Gillybob and her DH today.

Good morning, all. Raining in Lincs again! Off to swathe myself in waterproofs and head to Lincoln on the bus. More tedious business with banks and solicitors etc re probate for OH.
Hope all goes well for the Gillybobs; it's high time something goes right for them. Best wishes to all who are unwell.

Yep totally agree EV and Auntieflo - so many newbies and wonderful threads to read now before posting which adds a good 20 minutes on before your own post pops up now! Maybe I’ll set my alarm, post and go back to bed for an hour and then read everyone’s at my leisure!

I don’t like to post before reading in case I miss something and don’t acknowledge it and then come over as insensitive.....

Good Morning All x
Really sodden here on the Costa Mersey after heavy rain first thing, just in time for the kids as they begin their new term !

Not very impressed with my lamb yesterday, tough as old nick in parts and you could have soled your shoes with it. Such a shame as I enjoyed my dinner so I can see the old stray Tom smacking its lips if I cut it up for him.

Between watching the news and reading posts half the morning's gone before my own post surfaces. Good play tonight " Flesh and Blood " so I'll be tuning into that.It's on for 4 nights on the run.

Thinking of the Gillybob's this morning and I hope everything goes well. xx To be free from pain will make all the difference to Mr G. Best wishes to all others for a pain-free day.

Morning All

What a soggy day. I’m off to soak in a hot bath with a good book and pretend it’s spring.

Thoughts keep going to the Gillybobs. Fingers crossed all goes well and the future is brighter for them.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. We have snow!
Nothing planned for today after a busy weekend. Roads are open again after the Swale broke its banks but as Oldgoat said upthread there is likely to be more flooding to come.
Hope the Leeds grans have a good meet up today.
Sending good wishes to all who are unwell or struggling. Hope the day has a good outcome for the gillybobs.
Stay warm and dry everyone.

Greyduster Mon 24-Feb-20 09:09:23

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Very wet in South Yorkshire this morning but we don’t have any snow so far. I got a slightly longer walk in yesterday afternoon and am suffering a bit this morning, but it was so good to be ‘properly out’. We don’t have a lot on today except the school run later.
Elizabeth1 congratulations on your 50th! Fingers crossed today for Mr Gillybob.

Mapleleaf Mon 24-Feb-20 09:05:36

Good morning all,

It's a wet, miserable morning today but at least the wind has died down for now.

We're fund raising for a couple of local charities at our coffee morning today so having a cake sale and tombola stall. I hope the weather doesn't put people off from coming as we usually have a good turn out when we do them.

No snow here yet, thank goodness, but we're not a million miles from York so I suppose it's still possible, but it needn't bother in my account!?

Hoping all goes well for gilly and her DH today.

Take care all, and keep warm. Congratulations Elizabeth1 for your upcoming 50th wedding anniversary. ?

Auntieflo Mon 24-Feb-20 08:56:31

Good morning Michael, Annie, and all, from a dry and windy bit of Berks.

Had a lovely lunch and afternoon with DD and SIL yesterday, but driving home we had a phone call to say that DH had left his specs there. Too much faff to turn round and go back, so we will pick them up from her office, later today.

The Gillybobs have been on my mind, so hope all is going well for them today, and that MR G will soon be 'mended'.

I may try and have a go at Marydoll's. Hot X Bun recipe today. If successful I will let you know. If not, silence will prevail.

Nice to see a post from Elizabeth1, upthread, and I did see one on another thread. Well done, keep on with the good work, and Happy Anniversary, at the weekend.

Best wishes to Lins, Dragonfly, BlueSapphire, and all those who are poorly.

Mick's lovely thread is getting so big now, I am getting later to read and post so I get a bit lost as to ' who, what and where!'

Have a good day one and all.

Bonjour to all from a grey and drizzly France.

We started a jigsaw last week and on Saturday morning I woke early (4am), came downstairs to make a cuppa and found 'the bit I was looking for' whilst the kettle boiled - I was still 'jigsawing' in my PJ's when the rugby started that afternoon !! smile
Jigsaw completed yesterday - PHEW!!!!
So I will be catching up on housework today after my 'slobby' weekend and am hoping that some blue sky will appear so I can at least hang some of my washing out!

Fingers crossed all goes well for the Gillybobs today and hope everyone else has a good Monday.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Breezy and raining here in SE Essex.

Thinking of the gillybobs I fear that gilly will be extremely worried and scared whilst Mr.gilly is in theatre, sending a virtual hug flowers

I am off to the gym this morning, then I shall attempt Tom rearrange my wardrobes, had a major sort out last year but things seem to have gone a bit "wonky donkey" since New Year???

Take care and rest poorly Goodmorningers x

Good morning from east London, rain has eased off, bit blowy and cloudy. Playing tennis at lunchtime today, hope the floor isn’t as damp as it was on Friday as it can make things a bit slippy. Was thinking of doing some grocery shopping today but tempted to wait til tomorrow as we’ve got enough left over from yesterday’s meal to feed us again. Hope everyone has a reasonable day.

Marydoll Mon 24-Feb-20 08:36:28

Oh Elizabeth, you don't know how delighted I am to see you posting! I'm so glad you are back in your own bed. ?It has made my day.
I was actually thinking about you the other day and wondering whether to contact Marelli to see how you are.
You have been sorely missed at the Edinburgh meet ups.
Take care and keep posting!

NanKate Mon 24-Feb-20 08:36:14

50th Anniversary Elizabeth congratulations ?

NanKate Mon 24-Feb-20 08:34:49

Love your story Mary of the visit from a member of your church. I wish you could do a batch cooking event for the GM thread. A spicy iced bun for me please. ?

brook2704 Mon 24-Feb-20 08:33:34

Good Morning to everyone from Inverness - dry this morning so far but the sky looks grey ... out soon for an easy class at the gym then popping into town for a bit of shopping
Thinking of everyone today with health problems and wishing everyone the best possible day , especially gillybobs

Elizabeth1 Mon 24-Feb-20 08:31:39

Good morning everyone another day in my cosy bed think I’m going to try and do a little walking excersises in the house today I’m getting excited waiting for the weekend when family and friends are coming to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

NanKate Mon 24-Feb-20 08:30:49

Morning Mick and All.

Grey day in South Bucks.

Getting together with some old friends to play Rummykub today. Our group of 9 has now been reduced to 7 which is sad but our oldest member nearly 90 is a bundle of energy and humour so there is hope for us all.

Great to see we are sending our collective prayers and good wishes to the Gillybobs for a successful operation and recovery. ?

glammagran Mon 24-Feb-20 08:30:18

Wishing the gillybobs the best for today and hoping Mr G is returned to Mrs G in tip top order and she soon sees her husband and at his former best self.
