What happy news regarding the ring, Urmstongran! You’ll be smiling for the rest of the day now! ? ??

And here’s some ☀️ for Sars53 to warm her corner of France! ?

Picking up normal life after the excitement of the wedding. My two very supportive neighbours are both out of action - one with a back problem, the other with a cracked hip after a fall - so it’s my chance to repay so many kindnesses. I am delighted to have the chance though sorry for the reason for it.

So today it’s the supermarket and perhaps the garden, though I still have post covid fatigue and find I just have to stop suddenly. Meanwhile my thoughts are with grandM, Marydoll and Chrissielou and everyone with a tricky day ahead. Hope everything goes to plan.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s raining in my corner of Lancashire, currently 11°C but feeling much warmer.

So glad you found your lost ring Urmstongran, you must be over the moon.

Today must be a day of mixed emotions Grandmattie, great fundraising by Philip’s friends and what an amazing wee girl Iris is.

Happy Anniversary to Mr&MrsPantglas, will you be having a chamber pot of champagne later?

I think your volunteer drives are wonderful Jaxjacky you must make such a difference to those clients.

How frightening for you and your DD GrannyGravy, l hope it’s subsiding now.

Happy Birthday to your DD Marydoll, hope the dentist visit goes well.

Happy Birthday to your OH Granmarie, have a lovely day.

Safe journey and happy holidays Grandmadinosaur

Sorry for your loss Hollysteers flowers

A warm welcome to any new members I have missed recently.

Thinking of all our grans going through difficult times.

Wishing everyone the best day possible with a ?or two along the way.

May the Fourth be with you

Good morning all. I am now back in West Sussex after a lovely two weeks in East Lothian, enjoying the company of DD2, DSiL and twin DGSs. Our little flat is a great base for us when we visit but no Wi-Fi there so had to catch up on all your news with a quick read at DDs later in the day.

I had my shingles vaccination yesterday and woke up with a headache and general achiness (autocorrect wanted to change that to ‘a Chinese’ ?). A paracetamol has banished the headache now. Lots of catching up to do in the garden and allotment. My lovely neighbour kept all our seedlings alive and growing while we were away.

Thoughts with Grandmattie and family. May the trees flourish.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. I love the "May the 4th be with you" greeting. Hadn't heard it before. I know, I live in a dream these days.
I had such good intentions of steam cleaning the kitchen floor, but as I feel so wiped out after just getting washed and dressed, that's gone by the by. At least for today, as later I am having my monthly infusion and next lot of chemo tablets. So, maybe, I will be infused with some energy ?. JaxJacky, I use the volunteer drivers for my trips to hospital and they are a wonderful organisation, so thanks to you for being a part of it.

I am so pleased that you found your mum's ring Urmston, I was about to suggest that you said a prayer to St Anthony, (is that the one?) For lost things.
GrandMattie you have such a supportive family around you at this sad time, but enjoy the tree planting in Philip's name, and well done to Iris for her charity walk. Brave girl that she is.

Sending heartfelt thoughts to all the mums who are supporting their daughters through difficult treatment times, love and hugs.
Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary, to those who are celebrating today.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning to you all from an overcast Cambs., Although rain was forecast today, it was dry here, until I put the washing machine on, now it's raining! We had 2 spots of rain yesterday but it didn't even settle the dust! Hopefully today we get enough to water the garden, (& local crop growers will be grateful).

I'm relieved that you've found your ring, Urmstongran, ( there are advantages to me being a late poster!)

Happy Anniversary, Pantglas to you & your DH.

Thinking of you, especially today, grandMattie.

Hope you have better news about your daughter, GG13,
& good wishes to our other,(at least 3), GM'ers, who have worries for their DDs.

Good luck to all with dentist & doctor appointments.

Warm wishes to you all, flowers for those that need them.

Wonderful news you’ve found the ring Urmstongran. X

Sorry you are going through stress with your poor Mum Chris. It’s terrible you can’t visit but I can really get on my soap box with this subject at the moment but won’t on here. ?wishing her well.

Nannagarra Wed 04-May-22 11:54:23

I’ve only read grandMattie’s post but I’d like to offer a hand hold to steady the wobble.

Jaxjacky Wed 04-May-22 11:55:46

Excellent find Urmstongran bet that’s made your day.

Urmstongran

Looks like an Ale-Hop shop Pittcity?

Indeed Urms. I resisted temptation but my Mum and sister didn't.

Good afternoon from a drizzly Black Country.

Still feeling rough and testing positive. MrJ still is after 9 days!

I should be on my way to Stamford now, to stay with my friend for a few days. Trying to be upbeat about it as so many others have much more to contend with, and I can visit some other time.

Thinking of grandMattie today on such a poignant day

Grannmarie Wed 04-May-22 14:41:56

Thank you, Blossoming and Grandmadinosaur, I just wish I had the body to go with the bikini!
Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Pantglas. ❤
Thinking of Grandmattie and family, hoping that their day is going as well as possible.
