B9EXCHANGE well I shared mine and found only kindness

I'm not surprised you are so worried, I hope baby comes before Friday and you can relax a little

B9exchange Wed 28-Apr-21 09:14:35

Hello all from SW Herts, and hoping Friday can still go ahead Harrigran, what an extra worry for you. Loved the description of the mammagram and haircut Marydoll.

Still nothing happening on the expected baby front, now 9 days overdue. The DDiL, DS and DGS are all down with colds, but the Covid tests were negative. It is looking more and more like being a Caesar on Friday, which they were so desperately hoping to avoid. And DS is coping with the pain of a hernia, and lifting a heavy toddler is not helping! Sorry, I know this thread is meant to be an uplifting one, but we are allowed to share worries too?

Roses Wed 28-Apr-21 09:10:30

Good morning I'm feeling so relieved today after my procedure yesterday, it wasn't bad at all really just uncomfortable and the best news is I was discharged afterwards?

If anyone ever has to have this done please don't worry as I did as its nothing to fear

Thanks again for all your good wishes it's so nice when people care
Great news for NANKATE

Not sure what to do today. A quiet one I think

Hope today is kind to you all

Overnight rain but not enough to make a difference, so today’s excitement is a trip to the garden centre to buy a new connector to attach the bit of hose from the tap to the hose reel. Endless excitement!

Yesterday’s visit from the oven man has resulted in a sparkling kitchen and DH threatened with salad and sandwiches for the next week because I can’t bear to sully all the immaculate surfaces. It’ll soon wear off. The electrician came to connect our new awnings to the power supply, which should mean days of rain just when I am dying to be able to operate them from inside, but their moment will come.

Hope all those with appointments have satisfactory outcomes and that a good day is on the cards for everyone.

Good morning from Nottinghamshire, where we had some welcome rain yesterday and overnight. I hope it’s enough.
What beautiful photos this morning, too many to list, but I do love to see them. Our neighbour had a very mature bramley apple tree and they generously share the fruit with us. Our little town is the home of the original bramley tree which is still growing in the back garden of a cottage. It has honey fungus so its days are numbered, but the local agricultural college has taken grafts of it, so it will live on through them.
harrigran, I hope things go as well as they can today so the next procedure can go ahead. Uncertainty is so hard to live with.
Wishing you all a peaceful day.

Good morning, Mick and All. It was grey first thing here in Carlisle but now the sun is breaking out. We've had some heavy showers which will save me watering the new turves but now I shall have to mow. In spite of the drought, the grass is growing fast.
I successfully put together some clothes rails yesterday with an absolute minimum of bad language, they were easy. They look quite smart and are well-made and when my wardrobes finally arrive, they will be fine for the guest bedrooms. Money is bleeding out of this house on all the bits and bobs I'm finding I need!
It will probably be haemorrhaging out shortly as the blinds man is coming to measure and quote later this morning. A lot of windows to cover...Still, I will be glad to stop carefully sliding out of bed in the morning and crawling into the ensuite to avoid the neighbours glimpsing my aging body.
I hope you all have the best day possible.

dustyangel Wed 28-Apr-21 08:57:51

Morning all from a bright and sunny Algarve. Just like yesterday in fact despite forecasts of heavy rain for us. I’ve noticed there are some beautiful photos of England looking very springlike so must go and catch up. Not much to do today as we had our occasional cleaner yesterday.

Nannytopsy Wed 28-Apr-21 08:57:34

Good news NanKate !
I am another who missed all the excitement yesterday.

NanKate Wed 28-Apr-21 08:54:36

Many thanks to you lovely GM crowd/ladies for your kind words. ???????

Taichinan Wed 28-Apr-21 08:52:09

Good morning everyone from a sunny morning after a day of rain yesterday on the Angus coast. I don't know how effective the rain will have been as it was borne in a strong easterly breeze which was probably drying it up as it fell!
Lovely view from your window Mattie - it looks so warm and springlike.
I meant to come back in and say what a beautiful funeral cortege yesterday, Ash. Spectacular really, and so fitting for a man of the theatre. And such handsome horses! Thank you for sharing.
Dentist for me today too beechnut - or at least the hygienist. And then a quick pop by to a friend.
I hate those sleepless nights Grannygravy I had one the night before last - not a wink until after 6am. But last night I slept solidly for 8 hours which was lovely.
Lovely news if your AC's jobs Gagagran. My DS2 is also about to make a 'career change' move and I admit to watching with heart in mouth - it's a big change. But he's a wise old man now (52) and not my lovely little scrap, so he knows what he's doing ?. (Do our children ever grow up in our eyes?)
Have a lovely day Brook - and I hope your umbrella isn't needed.
Fantastic news NanKate! Worth the trepidation to get the all clear.
Oh dear Harrigran, your poor DH. Sending ? to you.
I shall post this now and grab another cup of coffee before starting on the day. Hope to get back later, but in the meantime have your best day everyone - but remember, don't go wild in your 2nd jab freedom! ☀️???

Kalu Wed 28-Apr-21 08:51:14

Good morning from a sunny Glasgow as I write but scant sunny intervals for most of the day ahead.

Fabulous news NanKate.......and breathe! ?

A day of footering about looking for something interesting to keep me occupied today. A sigh of relief as GD1 awaits the results of her maths exam which she sat on Monday. She tells me she feels pretty confident she did well. ?

Have a pleasant day all and hopefully a better day ahead for all who need some respite from whatever is troubling you.

CherryCezzy Wed 28-Apr-21 08:48:48

Good morning everyone from the Gower. Very grey and windy today and it doesn't look like we had that rain that was forecast overnight ?.

I hope that bad night feeling eases GrannyGravy, I didn't sleep well last night either even though my neighbour was quiet ?. Drat!
More garage clearing on the agenda today and another trip to the dump. Where does it all come from ?. More paperwork to sign off this afternoon re. our new kitchen walks away shaking head Why does everything seem to be in triplicate ?. Asking myself too many questions today ?

Love the cherry tree Gwenisgreat ?.
Sounds like you're having a wonderful time brook. Nothing like seeing loved ones ?
Thanks for updating us about Iris grandMattie. I'm so pleased her infection is clearing ?
Great news NanKate, relax now and maybe treat yourself eh.
I hope you breathe your own fire at the dragons day Marydoll. I don't doubt you will ?. Hope your appointment goes well ?

Take care everyone, I hope each of you find at least one ? today ❤️

Grandmajean Wed 28-Apr-21 08:42:14

Just saying good morning and will read posts later. Have seen that beautiful dog whilst scrolling Dwmxwg

Alygran Wed 28-Apr-21 08:40:58

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s cloudy so far. We have had some rain late yesterday and overnight so hopefully the garden will begin to recover.
I went for a walk in Richmond yesterday. It was very peaceful walking by the river.
Good news Nankate
Hope your DH gets sorted for Friday Harri
I have a call to make to the bank this morning. I am the treasurer of a charity and we have things to sort out. An ongoing saga from February last year!
Hope everyone has a good day. Stay safe.

LauraNorder Wed 28-Apr-21 08:40:42

Good morning Mick and all from dull and overcast Anglesey. I think we had a tiny sprinkling of rain overnight but not nearly enough.
Better put my Barry White cd on and do some rain dancing. I see we have some more frosty nights to come brrrr.
Haven’t read through yet but did notice that beautiful little puppy. I want one.
Have a good day all ??, I’ll leave the sunshine out of my wishes today as we all seem to be in need of rain.

Grandmabatty Wed 28-Apr-21 08:37:53

Good morning all. It's dry in Polmont but chilly at 3°. This has been a very cold April so I hope May is warmer. Good news for Nankate! My sil is still waiting to hear when he has to go for an endoscopy and biopsy. I hope Roses is alright after her experience.
Today is my usual Wednesday. I'll visit mum, then a friend then a WhatsApp chat in the afternoon. That takes up most of the day. In between I'll potter. Have a good day all.

grandMattie Wed 28-Apr-21 08:33:36

Beau, I was one of a slew of complainants yesterday. So pleased that the posters have be banned! The posts were irrelevant, but more than that, designed to shock by their sexual crudeness and frankly revolting, especially on a gentle, kind and compassionate thread like this one.

ginny Wed 28-Apr-21 08:32:57

Good morning.
We had a small amount of rain yesterday and some forecast today. Luckily our committee meeting yesterday was under a large gazebo with a roof, chilly but dry.
Nothing planned today so will see what unfolds.
Thoughts are with all who have worries or troubles. Hope everyone finds a ?.

dragonfly46 Wed 28-Apr-21 08:31:01

Amselerin I love white asparagus. We can get it here from Ocado.

Elizabeth1 Wed 28-Apr-21 08:29:02

Good morning everyone from a gorgeous sunny start to the day here on the east coast of Fife.I imagine it’s a tad cold though. Second vaccine today for me. Yesterday was the best day ever we got lovely boases aka cuddles from 2 wee excited boys yesterday. We’ve nearly didn’t make it to Aberdeenshire my DH realised he’d forgotten his wallet and we needed petrol luckily he went to someone close by whom he knew and borrowed £30 what an ordeal we had in finding him.

Our wee grandsons were so excited to see us whether it was the jelly babies or us but it could’ve been bothwink another adventurous day for us a zoom to start with then carer support to make lunch, who knows what’s next perhaps lunch in the garden followed by wrapping up daughters birthday presents for when we next visit Aberdeenshire.

There’s no halting us now. Have a wonderful day you lovely folk out there keep safe and still dae as yer telt. shamrock

Greyduster Wed 28-Apr-21 08:23:15

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s cool and overcast in South Yorkshire and has rained in the night, to add to what we had yesterday afternoon. We need it so bring it on. A quietish day of pottering about today. We cleaned the oven yesterday so I feel we’ve achieved enough! Also went to the garden centre and bought some lovely plants, but too early to put them out yet so the conservatory is getting very crowded!
Beauregard I know Lathkill Dale very well - we were last there in the Autumn; and also know your ups and downs. We tend to stick to the lower ground these days!
Have a happy day, one and all.

Grammaretto Wed 28-Apr-21 08:19:57

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Heavy rain earlier but it's stopped now. I hope it's enough for the garden.
I've been invited to lunch, outdoors, with the friend who has adopted 3 orphan lambs.
???
I noticed a lot of deleted posts yesterday. I hope that's over now.
Very good news NanKate and relief for Cornergran and Roses
Isn't it exciting when your DC find the job of their dreams.gagagran

Our 4 haven't had it easy through lockdown and have worries ahead. DS2 job comes to an end in June. DS1 will have to go back to work abroad.

Wishing you all a happy day.

baubles Wed 28-Apr-21 08:18:54

Good morning Mick, morning all from cool and cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Good news Kate, hope you recover from your rotten night GG and thanks for the Iris update gM. Enjoy your day Brook, sounds like you’re having a smashing time. Freddie is a beauty Dwm

Busy day here, what with shopping delivery, eyebrow tinting, visiting DD’s garden then my second vaccine this evening. To think there was a time I could have squeezed all that around a day at work.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day. ?

Sar53 Wed 28-Apr-21 08:16:58

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun has just come out. No rain here so far.
Great news Kate ?, sorry you had a bad night GG, take it easy today.
DD2 has asked me to go and stay with my two granddaughters in Kent whilst they go to a much postponed wedding in July. I hope it goes ahead this time as she booked a hotel for them yesterday.
DH is off to his boat today, I have a big pile of ironing to tackle.
Have a lovely day and find that ? xx

amselerin Wed 28-Apr-21 08:16:56

Good morning all from chilly but sunny Lueneburg. I was happy to read that lots of you could enjoy some rain. Here we are desperately waiting for some rain.. Usually it happens a day or two after your rain, I shall go into the garden to do some more weeding, I enjoy it. Then I shall go into the cellar to do some clearing out and putting the things,I intend to to take to Britain, into one cellar room (the cellar is partly above ground level with large windows). Once a month our goods for the tip are collected - furniture, carpets, , fridges etc by the council.The day before we have lots of vans (with polish registration numbers mostly) collecting what they find useful. I think that is good, as the local tip is getting larger and larger. We have become a "throw away society". I love asparagus as well, grandMattie. We mostly have white asparagus here, I paid 9 Euro a kg, but when it gets warmer the price drops. You have to peel the white asparagus though. Well, I hope sheepcattle has had lots of rain.
Have a good day all and no worries. Take care.
