Great news Blossoming. Glad you got it sorted. smile

Blossoming Wed 27-Jan-21 15:00:14

Thank you Sparklefizz I needed a cap re-gluing to a back tooth. It came off last week while I was eating and luckily I didn’t swallow it. I’ve had it around 10 years. The dentist was able to refit it no problem, did my checkup and saw the hygienist, everything else is in good condition!

Urmston Therapearl eye mask is about £8 (Amazon) but the problem with the cotton wool pads was that they lost their heat so quickly before you’d had a good session plus they can drip down your face...?. Also the mask stays in place with the elastic, I must have a lopsided face as the slightest movement of my position sent my cotton wool pad skidding down my cheek!

Excellent news Taichinan on all fronts!

Urmstongran Wed 27-Jan-21 12:35:16

Thank you LadyO for that, very kind of you. My optician said she had tiny heat pads to warm up in microwave. Obviously they are good because they retain their heat. Cost £20. I’m a bit of a cheapskate so took her suggestion to boil kettle, let it cool to warm and dip in two cotton pads. Re-dip as necessary to warm the pads. If it doesn’t clear that way I’ll go back and splash the cash!

A very very late Good Morning (or early afternoon) from the sunny Costa del Angus where I have just been called in for my vaccination on Friday! Such jubilation. I never thought I'd see the day when I was pleased to get a phone call telling me to turn up and get a needle stuck into me! Apart from peace of mind, I don't think it will make any difference to my life though - we still have to abide by the rules I assume.
Anyway, thank you to all who thought of me during my absence and welcomed me back yesterday. That was very heartwarming. Even in the very best of times, I find January such a miserable, long month - and this is hardly the best of times! But now the end is in sight and February is on its way and my depression is lifting like magic - I'll swear there's even warmth in the sun.
I haven't had time to read the posts yet as I didn't wake up until 10.45 (hangs head in shame) but I wish everyone a cosy, comfortable day with sunshine in your hearts and a smile on your faces ? ???

Good afternoon everyone from a grey Gower.

It's been a case of morning 1 Cherry 0 today. Too many mornings are winning!

I haven't even had the chance to read anyone's doings yet! It didn't help that I forgot to charge my tablet and had to wait for that to charge a bit but that's probably an excuse too far ?
I hope everyone is okay but for anyone who isn't ?????????? for you ?

Thinking of you Susan, I hope you are feeling a bit stronger ? with each day x

Have the best day you can everyone, stay safe and cosy and find a ? along the way ❤️

LadyO Wed 27-Jan-21 12:24:11

Urmston I had Blepharitis and used warm pads but found they were rather damp and messy to use. My optician recommended this... goes in the microwave for a few seconds, no mess and keeps its heat for longer. My problems cleared up?

Sparklefizz Wed 27-Jan-21 11:51:41

Welcome Granial ... whereabouts in the country are you?

Fingers x'd GG13 you get that last minute phone call for your jab. I wait every day for the post/phone/text but nothing as yet.

Sorry to hear about your migraine problems Ashcombe and hope you're feeling a bit better this morning. They can leave you wiped out, I know.

Hope you got on alright at the dentist Blossoming

Must go and sort out some lunch. May day seems regulated by my stomach smile

Stay safe, virtual hugs to any who feel sad and lonely. x

Good morning Mick and all from Sunny Side, northwest coast.
A break from endless rain.
Mooched around so much yesterday, I am going to take myself in hand today with housework, exercising and drawing.
I have changed my boring morning exercise routine of the usual touching your toes business to dancing around like Nureyev with the frantic ballet music from Samson and Delilah, flying through the air (well not quite). Anything that leaves you puffed must be good. Still heartily sick of not meeting pals etc. I’m even fed up reading my favourite author.
Looking forward to reading your homely and otherwise, missals later.
Thinking of those with troubles.

Blossoming Wed 27-Jan-21 11:36:58

Good morning all. It’s very foggy here and showing no signs of lifting. Just back from the dentist, first trip out in months ?. Will read the thread now.

ginny Wed 27-Jan-21 11:27:40

Grandmafrench
Do you really think you are up to the job ?
It takes a lot of organisation to have that much spare time ! ?

HAZBEEN Wed 27-Jan-21 11:21:57

Good morning all from a cold damp Heathrow, the snow has mostly gone at last.
Had a Tesco delivery this morning, thats now all put away and 2 neighbours shopping delivered to their doorsteps. I have a bit of admin to do today but not a lot else.
Stay safe all, hugs and love to any who need them, welcome to new posters and prayers to friends and loved ones suffering.

kathw12 Wed 27-Jan-21 11:20:46

Happy Wednesday everyone from an overcast Liverpool! I’m hiding out in our bedroom while the electrician is here for a few hours doing some work to our newly acquired bungalow! I hate being here with workmen lol luckily my husband deals with it!
Collecting our 5yr old grandson for a sleepover a bit later-we are in a childcare bubble with our daughter. Other than that a quiet day. Have a good one! x

grandMattie Wed 27-Jan-21 10:48:35

Grandmafrench, let us know how you got on. Wise move to see dr. X

Urmstongran Wed 27-Jan-21 10:47:44

Tentatively good news Gagagran that’s reassuring to know.

Good luck GF today with your doctor appointment. I think many of us are curious about what can cause excruciating pain for several hours ... then just disappear. x

Won’t it be great GG13 if you get a phone call to rush out for your jab!

faringdon59 Wed 27-Jan-21 10:37:55

Good morning everyone from a damp and rainy Wiltshire.
However, on my kitchen table I have a jug full of daffs!! which I bought last night whilst doing the shop for essential foods.
At a £1 a bunch they are a cheap way to lift the mood:-)
Neck and shoulders are aching from sitting at a screen so going to motivate myself into going round my kitchen skirting boards with a damp cloth!!
This afternoon will be Seaside Hotel on Netflix.

Gagagran Wed 27-Jan-21 10:34:56

Latest health bulletin from DD is that her temperature has stabilised but she feels grim. DSiL is feeling much better and DGS is still sleeping a lot but a bit better.

Gagagran Wed 27-Jan-21 10:32:42

We dashed too when we got the call to say if you come now you can both have the jab. Mind you we did qualify being 77 and 78 with asthma (me) and cancer patient (DH). Seems a sensible way to use up any vaccine left from non-shows.

Aldom Wed 27-Jan-21 10:30:39

Marydol My kindest thoughts and wishes for the granddaughter of your friend, and for the family too. flowers

amselerin Wed 27-Jan-21 10:29:39

Good morning all, I can hardly see my screen as the sunshine is so bright. I shall read all your mails later. I am always looking forward to it. I do learn some new phrases and expressions reading your messages. Not speaking much english now only to my children when we chat on the phone. With my granddaughter here I only converse in English. But she lives in Hamburg. The highlight of my day yesterday was buying fish and shopping. Of course I take my little dog for walks. Wearing a mask when going out is not so pleasant. My sister lost her hearing aid when she took the mask of and it fell under the bus.
I am wishing you all only good news and if you have problems or are ill, I hope that everything will be better soon. Take care.

gillgran Wed 27-Jan-21 10:25:50

Sorry GG13, J< & all, got names muddled, Good wishes to you all,.

Morning all from a damp but warmer South Notts where it is apparently 8 degrees - positively balmy compared to last weekend.
Still waiting for a parcel to be collected, Customer Services have said that if nothing happens by the end of today I must ring again and they'll collect free of charge. I should say so - it's their mistake. After dealing with them for over 10 years I may well terminate my account and politely tell them why.
I hope all goes well Sheep I don't think I could stand the worry you have with a herd of animals.
At last I have finished one of the socks I was knitting, I will try to post a pic if I can. I'm a 1/3 of the way down the 2nd.
Best wishes to those of you with illness or worries.
