Marydoll lots of virtual hugs heading your way. Nannagarra I channelled 25 years of awful colleagues into 20 minutes! ? It is useful to see how prospective management can deal with difficult teachers. Happy birthday to*MrLins*

Good morning Mick and all from sunny West Sussex.

It’s all go here getting ready for arrival of DD and DGDs (6 and 2). Much clearing of potential dangers has been done. Who knew we had so much dodgy stuff in our bedroom (which is where all three will sleep) ?

Pleased to see an update from you Marydoll but sorry you’re having such a rough time again. I hope the giant doses of vit D will improve things.
Susan you have a lot to bear. I have a friend whose mother (in her 90s), also causes great hurt and difficulties and seems unable to appreciate the cruelty of her behaviour, over a similar period of time. I hope you have a relaxing day in the sunshine ?????

I am going to get my hair cut - my original appointment was mid-Feb and my hairdresser only works part-time so this is earliest she could do. I am excited and anxious at the same time.

Thoughts with all struggling ❤️??????

Late again. Best wishes to Marydoll.
Sitting in traffic on the M25 on our way to DD. We have already sat in traffic on the A14 and M11 ?. Only here for 24 hours as we have visitors ourselves tomorrow evening.
The sun has come out and it’s warm!
I hope the day is kind to everyone

Good very late morning from misty, moisty Scottish Borders.
I am relieved and hopeful for your treatment Mick and Marydoll.
It is a bit odd to leave the choice up to you though Mick. I would have thought it was the consultant's job.
I know some people in my family cannot absorb VitD by tablet and have to have periodic injections.

A big day for me yesterday transporting DMiL to the sunny Highlands to visit DD in her new house for the first time. She loved it and so did I apart from the awful traffic jams and worries that we would be stuck with no loo for hours. we were OK
It was likely due to it being an English Bank Holiday weekend - and warm.

Mow the grass and do a bit of shopping today.
DS3 is coming to visit tomorrow.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and stay safe!

I am not usually a morning person to say the least Mick take advice don’t put yourself at risk. Marydoll I hope you feel better when the meds kick in. Take care everyone.

Didn’t mean to gloss over your problems Marydoll. Sorry - certainly not my intention.
You’ve so much on your plate Susan.
Sending a big bear hug to you both.

Should check post properly worlds should be works.

Good morning from Yorkshire it's a lovely morning.We had a broken night 6yr old Gs had a fall and hurt his collar bone and back mum took him for x-ray which was done 4hrs later it confirmed a fractured collar bone poor lad I spoke with him this morning he was very weepy and tired he is usually a very chipper lad .
Marydoll my VITD level was very low last year I had very high dose for a month hope same worlds for you
I appreciate you have other problems to contend with.
It's potting plants today again for us.It's lovely to read about people getting out and about meeting family and friends.Take care all .

Good morning GraMingos from overcast Sefton.
General housework and cycling to the veg shop are on my agenda this morning. Later I’ll go for a walk with DS which I find vigorous as he’s very tall and I’m a mini mum! He always remarks that compared to him I’m under-dressed but I soon warm up. ?
I noticed you referred to yourself as ‘the teacher from hell’ ? yesterday, Grandmabatty. ? How you made me chuckle! Whilst you were doing that I was the indomitable customer for a certain high street bank. ‘Not happy with the service, Mrs X?’ ‘What service? You’ve failed to answer any form of communication [list] and, without informing me, removed the service I had as you’ve restructured.’ I’m pleased to say I remain my father’s daughter...
Good to see you posting Marydoll and hope you feel better very soon. I see you take 800 IU of vit D (which I thought was advised) but Matt Hancock has sent me a daily dose of 400 IU. I’m confused dot com now and would appreciate advice from the grans.
May Cherry, Auntieflo, grandmajet and others with troubles find a smile and a flamingo today.

Wishing MrLins a very Happy Birthday ??

Morning from sunny S Lanarkshire, how nice to write that!
No great plans today but will enjoy the lovely weather. Sheets drying in the sun, I’m easily pleased!

Glad to see you back Marydoll, I hope your ‘emergency’ medication does the trick soon. Bad enough feeling unwell, I think anxiety is crushing.

Best wishes to everyone for a good day, especially those who have illness to contend with.

Good Morning All x.
Dull and heavy so far so I wouldn't know what it was going to do. The smell in the air is lovely though, of blossoms and greenery like an almondy tinge, pure nectar.

The Ceanothus gets covered in bees and you can hear the shrub buzzing with life and the Bottlebrush "tree" will be bursting open next month with another lot of bees enjoying themselves.

Just a trip to the butcher's this morning for a joint for tomorrow. It's not far away so no transport involved. I've no idea what to get but lamb remains my favourite. Will it be Welsh ?

Good to learn that the heartbeat has stayed steady Mick, let's hope it stays that way.

How lovely to have a visit from the blackbird ginny at such close quarters. Considering I have cats, I've had one quite near here each morning singing his little heart out with both bird and cats unperturbed. He's here for about half an hour then off he goes replaced by the blue-tits twittering.

My word, a plane's just gone over ! Strange how I've missed them since the airport is only in the distance over the water.
Unless the sun decides to show itself I'll have to be doing something constructive indoors----like cleaning Mmm.

Lovely to hear that most are taking advantage of the now decent weather and managing to get out or in the garden but whatever everyone plans for the weekend, stay safe and take care. Thoughts to our poorly grans and also absent ones xx
Have a lovely few days everyone.

Sorry to hear your mum gave you an ear worm yesterday Susan that had your mind racing last night. I too hope your son in law gets a diagnosis soon. The ‘not knowing’ will cause anxiety on top of his pain I expect.

On a brighter note ‘Happy Birthday!’ to Mr.Lins.

As you can see, I’m still pondering. I can hear Himself chopping onions or carrots. I will assist soon. Ish.

Good morning, Mick and everyone from a greyish but bright Carlisle where the sun is trying to come out. I'm hoping to plant out at least one of my shrubs and go for a stroll to investigate the country park which is allegedly only a 5 minutes walk away. It will make a change from sorting the house out. The BHF furniture van did come yesterday and my garage is looking clearer so I now have space to construct the shelving rack which is still in its box .
I put BBC iPlayer on to catch the Giro but found I could only get the commentary in Welsh which was so irritating I soon turned it off.
I love Muncaster Castle gardens, Gelisajams. I hope the sun is out and that the rhododendrons are still looking good on the Terrace. What a wonderful view it is from there.
Marydoll, you have been suffering horribly! I hope you've been sorted out now.
Everyone, have the best weekend possible, it's supposed to be warming up for us at last.

Good morning everyone, that is good new Mick hope you continue to keep a good rhythm! Marydoll it sounds as though hope is on the horizon for you too. Happy Birthday to MrLins

Not a lot planned for today, will try and get some bedding plants in. DS is still in a lot of pain from his op, it seems very strange that no doctor came to see him afterwards, the nurses just told him to go when he felt like it (at 11.30 at night!) and he has no follow up appointment. He rang and asked if we can go and help out in Tuesday as Olive has a hearing check and he can't control a rampaging two year old unaided.

Wishing everyone a good weekend.

Wishing your son in law good news soon Susan
Happy birthday Mr. Lins

Morning everyone. Lovely day yesterday with DD and DGD at the Gardener’s World Spring Fair at Beaulieu. Was so good to be outside (and warm!) at an event - not too big or crowded.
Spending a few days away on the south coast. Hope to persuade DH to go for a nice long walk, perhaps with a coffee or a beer at the end of it. We shall see....
Best wishes for a gentle day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s warm and the sun is shining. Just had a FT from our excited smalls who are in an hotel in Lytham, a view of the beach too from their family bedroom. Excited doesn’t cover it! The boy wonder said ‘Guess what grandma?’ (love it) ‘mummy surprised us after school and nursery and guess what?’ (again!) ‘we are in Lytham! We had a disco last night and I’ve just had sausage, egg and beans for breakfast!’.
?❤️

My stepfather is coming over to eat with us this afternoon instead of tomorrow as we plan to head over to Lytham and join the family on the beach tomorrow. I shall make beef in ale (Delia’s foolproof) and mash.

I’ve never tasted sloe gin Maw but as I like Hendricks, Gordon’s, Tanqueray, Larios and Beefeater I don’t think I’d have a problem!

What a shock for you Marydoll. No wonder you felt so rotten and anxious this week. I hope you start to feel better soon. You take care Mick out and about.

Well, I’d best get a wriggle on and get the day up and running. Or at least ponder it awhile ...

Morning from Cheshire . Lazy this morning . BBQ at DS this afternoon if promised good weather arrives. Bit dull yet. Lovely picginny even though birds get me in a flap when they flap !! I do like to look at them in the garden. Your weekend sounds lovelybrook and 19 degrees is a hot day up there ! Will read page two later and see what everyone else is up to. A good Saturday to all.

All the recent talk of plane trees made me think of this one growing in our botanical gardens. I love the London planes and we don’t see them hereabouts.

Good morning from S Hants, high cloud at the moment. Successful trip Mick good news. But Marydoll not so good for you, hopefully you’ll improve quickly with your mega doses.
Happy birthday MrLins and happy bottling Maw.
Went to the local last night and got a shock when a large Alsatian went for me, fortunately on a lead. I was cross afterwards, the owner ‘found it’ on a farm and had no idea of its history. I sat outside until they’d gone. An hour of chat with friends and I headed home leaving Mr J as I’d driven. We’ve friends coming this afternoon for curry, first people, apart from brief family Christmas, to see/sit in the new kitchen.
Have a lovely day everyone with trips out, visitors and thoughts with others in a different place x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from Shropshire.

I have had a restless nights sleep.My mum pulled one of her stunts yesterday which left me feeling devastated.She isn’t going to change now and I will get over it but made me feel ill.My dad kept her in check when he was alive but I am no match for her.I have supported her since my dad died 27 years ago but feel drained by it today.

Anyway big girl pants on and will enjoy a weekend at home with DH hopefully spending time in the garden and enjoying fine wine and dining!

In happier news we have booked tickets for Johannesburg Radebe’s tour next year?

Son in law still in pain, he now has effective painkillers but no diagnosis still.

Mary, I am sorry you have been so unwell and hope the medication you got from the hospital yesterday soon has you feeling better.?

Cherry, hope all building work is complete and you have had a peaceful night.

Thank you to Mick and all the lovely posters on this thread where we can support each other.

Happy birthday to Mr Lins??hope he has a lovely day.

Thinking of all unwell, with worries and anxieties.

Have a good day all??
