Good Morning Saturday 11th June 2022

Good morning all from W Kent. Off to supermarket and then not sure what I will be doing apart from the ironing which is looking at me.
I am so sorry to hear all the difficult situations and news and send thoughts and

Granmattie and Marydoll hope you have better days.
Baubles my oh had a stoma for 18months they can misbehave at times !
Kaluthere are no words but sending virtual hugs .
I'm sorry if I have missed anyone there seems to be a lot with problems at the moment .

Good morning all. It’s gloriously sunny but with a breeze. Youngest D and SIL plus the wee boys are coming up from London for a early Father s Day lunch with his parents (I know it’s next weekend, but Otis has a party to go to) and I’m included as DD will be missing her father.
(After my mother died I found it hard not to react with renewed sadness and loss to the banks of Mothers Day cards, flowers etc so used to send one to my favourite aunt)
I am very saddened by your news Kalu , you will need great fortitude in the coming weeks and months and my heart also goes out to Grandmattie . There are few words but please do -whenever possible - get some rest - let the domestic stuff go and if you can, look after yourself too. You can only run on empty for so long.
With thoughts and prayers for all with worries or travails

Good morning from a cloudy NE where it was starting to rain at 8am.
Went out for lunch with my friend yesterday, a bit emotional as her DH was my DH's cousin and we were all very close.
Lovely meal including sea trout with samphire, a treat to be waited on for a change.
Sister and BIL will visit today and also the family will come after DS collects his new car. I wanted to give him his Dad's car but he didn't want a big Mercedes so what has he bought ?
Baubles I can empathise with you and your stoma, I called mine Badboy from the start because that's what it was, often being rude in public
grandMattie sorry to hear it has been a bad night, I know exactly what you are going through. DH's consultant stopped the chemotherapy because there was no quality of life left. The word wife or carer had no clout here in the NE.
Sorry to hear your news Kalu, I know the NHS promise to care but the reality is that you have to fight for everything, I am still angry about the lack of support.
Enjoy the weekend if you are able to get out and about,

Sending best wishes to you and your DH Kalu

Kalu sending love and (((hugs))) it is a very frightening time for you both.

Extending my hugs to include Kalu ?x

?Kalu

Good morning from a bright South Yorkshire,

Some food shopping to do today (mainly the butcher) and then tackle the grass, which has shot up after all the rainy nights of late. My plan to do it yesterday fell by the wayside.

So sorry to read of all the difficulties so many of you are going through right now and send you my best wishes and a hope that today brings you some comfort. ??

Bless you all.

Good morning all from a sunny but very windy Glasgow.

The outcome of our meeting with DH’s consultant was not good news. The initial diagnosis of throat cancer will require a total laryngectomie which is now on hold as the CT scan revealed a suspicious mass in his left lung which will have to be investigated further.

A busy day for DD1 and I as she will collect DD2 and SiL from the airport later then she will be dropping GD1 and her friends at their first concert venue in Glasgow. The weather forecast is not in their favour for an outdoor concert but their excitement at the prospect of seeing Harry Styles won’t put a damper on their excitement I’m sure.

Thank you to those who kindly sent their best wishes yesterday. We have all been such a support to one another on the GM thread over the years which is always gratefully received.

Enjoy your day for those who have various plans and my best wishes to all with sorrow and illness to bear.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

grandMattie sending a big hug to you, what a dreadful, gruelling time you are both having to endure. The support you're receing appears totally inadequate, I'm so sorry for you both

Morning Mixk and all

Blue sky and sunny here in S E Essex, so it’s a BBQ dinner and no doubt swimming for The Imp in the Hot Tub.

Sending (((hugs)))to the grandMatties baubles and any of our Goodmorning friends who are struggling.

Urmstongran I would love to follow F1 round the world ??

pantglass I hope you enjoy Cadiz, I loved it (unfortunately two fractious children didn’t) the journey was picturesque but long.

Marydoll I sympathise with your feelings towards your lodgers we have often had AC stay when they are mid moving as much as we love them it can be rather stressful.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning all from sunny Gorey
Wow I think the Internet is running in the hotel just now, so I’ll have to be quick! I might have to wait before I can send photos of the wedding. We are travelling to Dublin today so hopefully we’ll have better Internet there than in a 5 star hotel! I’ll also try to read the posts I haven’t managed to read.
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning all from a very sunny North Leicestershire.

Still in bed as we have very little on today. We will probably go for a walk by the canal and call at the florist on the way home.

Sending loving support to all who need it.

Good morning from a sunny Black Country.

I rang my Hairdresser yesterday as I need a cut and highlights. He can fit me in this morning! So it will be done before our holiday, as we fly out on Monday.

Then onto Mums, then DD's as I am child minding whilst they go to a gig. I will stay overnight. Then DD is running the Race for Life Sunday morning, so I will stay till early afternoon as SIL is working.

I too have a repeating dream, where I am at work, and I keep missing the deadline to hand in my notice to retire. So I keep having to do an extra month I have been retired 5 years.

Mr J says if he ever won big on the lottery, we would visit every sporting event over the world.

GM such an awful time for you. You are both in my thoughts

Pressed post too soon.....
Sending hugs to GM and Baubles and all who need one.
Love to all ?x

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a beautiful sunny Hull. It’s very breezy though again.
grandMattie so sorry for you and your DH. ? it’s heartbreaking ?
Greyduster hoping for a better day for you.

Today we have the DC and DGC coming over for a bbq so got to pop out for some salad and veg but no lettuce as we’ve got absolutely loads of it in the garden.

Enjoy your Saturday if you can ? and thinking about those with illness and worries. ??

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Another one with bare cupboards here. I am off to Aldi as soon as I can be bothered to get dressed. I can please myself for the week as both DH and DS are away. Today I'll shop and enjoy the sun, although there is still decorating to get on with.

No OH projectors nowadays, it's all those new fangled computer things

Good morning all from a wet and windy Glasgow, envious of all that sunshine you have over the border.

Its lovely to hear of all your weekend plans.
Pants, my friend from school, ( and Borrheid's ) married into a Spanish family, who had a holiday home there. I hope you have a great day, I would have loved to have visited there.

I'm feeling a bit off colour today. Dizziness and nausea persist, symptomatic of my heart problems, so no plans, apart from helping DD with her grazing board of desserts.
We did manage to do some last night and surprisingly, she was very ameniable to my suggestions, as her ideas were a bit unrealistic, to say the least.
I found out later that SIL. had warned her to behave and accept all help offered.

DD is in permanent screech mode at the moment, (a sign she is stressed) , the purchaser's solicitors of ther home seem to be incompetent and it's all become a bit of a mess. I feel so helpless, that we cannot speed things up. I also feel frustrated that I cannot escape anywhere, they seem to have taken over our home and we have become the lodgers.
I am no longer able to cover up how unwell I am and DD keeps checking up on me, now she has seen me at my worst.
I prefer to wallow alone, when I feel like this! Solitude is my friend. ?
Does anyone in the Glasgow area have a spare room, I could rent? ?

Sending my best wishes to all, much sadness and struggling with life, among the Goodmorningers just now. ? Thank goodness for this thread.
I am on sacristan duty tonight, so have raided my piggy bank and will light candles for you all. Like everything else, the price has shot up!

Have a good Saturday, folks.

gMattie ?
Hope you too have a better day today baubles ?

Good morning all from Polmont. Very windy and warm 14°. The forecast is for showers though, some thundery. I love a good thunderstorm.
Yesterday morning was a breeze babysitting. Dgs2 behaved beautifully and went for a long nap. Dd decided to stay for the day so picked up dgs1 from nursery and brought him. We had fun playing trains. However dgs2 decided not to behave beautifully and wouldn't go for his second nap but was very overtired and decidedly grumpy.
Today I have dgs1 for a sleepover so I will head to Aldi shortly to buy provisions for him. Macaroni cheese for dinner and a cooked breakfast tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to having him. Have a good day all.

Dearest grandMattie it sounds as though you are running on empty. Such an awful time for you both. I hope today is a better one. x

GM thinking of you and hoping for a better day

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. A dark grey cloud came over and has just dropped what it was carrying. Sun forecast for later.

My brothers are F1 fans Urm and have been to several circuits, Europe and North America.
Today I plan to tidy up and I see I have a little pile of ironing to do. The cleaner needs putting back together now it’s dry from filter washing.
Adding my hugs to you Mattie.
Have the best day you can all ??

PS the blue sky is appearing ?
