To all those who have posted supportive messages and sent kind PMs in the last days, after my scary stay in hospital this week, I cannot find the words to say how much it has meant to me at a very low point.

I'm overwhelmed, but just can't find the energy to reply to all the PMs at the moment, so please don't think I'm ignoring you all.

This is GN at it's very best, when there have been some not so nice moments recently.

My special thanks to my pal, Chewbacca, who took the time to let my GN pals know, why I had vanished.

To the lurkers (I don't really like that word), who have never posted before, you have left me speechless with your kindness. ?

I missed the news of you being in hospital too, Marydoll.
Take care of yourself and hoping you get back to full health soon.

Glad that you are back home safely Marydoll. I missed the news of your hospital stay too but I’ve realised that one of the reasons I enjoy your posts so much is because of your positivity and I’m sure that as long as you obey orders hmm it will help you return to better health. flowers

Glad to know you are getting better. Hospitals are scary places and even more so at the moment.

jeanio Thu 07-Jan-21 22:21:26

Take care and hope you are feeling better soon.

So many Grans didn’t know you were in hospital Marydoll.
I wonder why we all missed the thread?

There wasn't a thread about Mary being in hospitsl, as such.
It was mentioned by Chewbacca on the Good Morning thread at Mary's request.

All good wishes to you Mary xx

(Just to spare Mary's further blushes, the photo is a cheeky joke, it's taken from a sitcom starring a fictional character called Rab C. Nesbitt.)

Marydoll You have been so kind to me personally and it is lovely to read and underline just how much everyone cares about you.
You are one special ladyflowers

NannyG4 Fri 08-Jan-21 08:57:41

Marydoll....I'm a lurker, I read the Good Morning thread every day, usually in bed at nightime! I always look forward to hearing your news, you are the Good Morning thread!! Just want to pass on my love to you and hope you are taking care and being spoilt.... You deserve it. Stay safe.

Gagagran Fri 08-Jan-21 09:59:57

I think Ellan Vannin summed up how we all feel about you Marydoll - you are just like family!

So please do what we all tell you which is rest and recover. We need you as well as you can be and in your usual sparkling form asap. flowers

(Hope Mr MD has learned how to sort the heating to keep you cosy).

mamaa Fri 08-Jan-21 10:51:18

Sorry you've been in hospital and hope your recovery goes well. I rarely post but thought I'd send my best wishes to you.
I did smile at your GM thread today with the tale re your hospital bag, hospital gown (Ooh Missus!) phone charger, and the bath!
Once you're feeling stronger why not dictate/record your happenings, so later you can turn them into a book: 'The Adventures (misadventures?) Of Marydoll'- it would be full of amusing anecdotes-I'd buy it! X

Indeed. His long suffering wifie is named Mary but is always referred to as Marydoll by Rab. smile

FannyCornforth Fri 08-Jan-21 15:33:27

Oh baubles! I didn't know that!
I've never been able to watch Rab C. as I can't understand the accent (blushI know!)
In my defense, I am from the Black Country grin

Marydoll Fri 08-Jan-21 16:54:15

Marydoll was how my colleagues referred to me! Many an email started affectionately with, Dear MD, they found it highly amusing, because I was always very particular about my appearance. Everything had to match, including my underwear Rab's wife was of course the epitomy of elegance. ?

Thank you for all the lovely posts. I never thought I would be here to read them!!!
