Good Morning Thursday 3rd November 2022

My goodness, Granmaretto - that will have been a shock. I hope they offer to pay for the repairs.

My goodness Grammaretto that sounds a bit extreme!💐

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire.

A little light housework today, I’m planning on going for a walk later.

Sorry your GP was so unhelpful Marydoll, you don’t need the extra stress.

Happy Anniversary Jax, enjoy your weekend celebrations.

Hope that shadow turns out to be nothing sinister Gingster, you and your daughter deserve some good news x

Have a restful day Hollysteers and recharge your batteries. Aren’t Oodies wonderful, mine has had a lot of use the last week or so.

Safe travels Farview and enjoy the visit.

Thinking of all with troubles today, best wishes to Ashcombe and Olddudders

Good morning Mick, Annie and all, from a very wet bit of Berks.
After a late read through of yesterdays posts, I had a list of things I wanted to say today. Can I think of any? No.
Wishing our Marydoll good luck with her Medical Professionals, who seem to be clearly lacking in bedside manners and also quality care. Do they ever read notes?
Ginster, best wishes to your daughter. My Chemo tablets are given to me monthly, after my infusion, and they will not let me have them any other way.
After your hospital stay Kittylester, , should you even be making your bed? Do take care and don't overdo things.
My goodness GrandMattie , your 'to do' list and things done, in one day, exhausts me just to read about it. You are doing too much, especially , and probably because of, your DL.
To all who have problems, a gentle hug, and wishing you well.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning all 🌞 from the Scottish Borders. Actually the bus into Edinburgh.
A beautiful sunny day after the horrors of yesterday. We had hail and wind and lashing rain.
My Helpers, from Kentucky are a mixed blessing. They locked themselves out last night and having left their phones and key behind, they broke down my front door!
The doorbell doesn't work and I had gone to bed and didn't hear a thing.
I'm so happy for Kalu
Cross on Marydoll 's behalf.
Hope a better day is in store for everyone.
Gingster
Congratulations to the Jaxes

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Co Armagh , but I’m keeping the heating on !
So annoyed for you Marydoll , in the flu queue a few years ago the GP asked my Daughter how I was , she said he should have asked me when he jabbed me a few minutes ago !
I see our lovely thread has been visited by the nasties , I hope they get their comeuppance
I’ve reported those two as well Kitty
Hoping for news of Ash

I have reported 2 posts on here.

If Marydoll’s surgery doesn’t have a system in place for ensuring that doctors read reports from specialists there is not much hope for improvement. Agree with those suggesting an itemised list of failings in the past year sent to all involved and copied to both her MSP and the relevant minister. Sounds like an inspection of the practice is called for.

Hoping for news from Ashcombe soon.

Good morning
It’s a rather grey, dull and chilly one here. The heating clicked on.
Sorry to read of so many illnesses and issues trying to get seen. The situation is becoming so desperate, isn’t it? You have to fight your corner just to get someone to listen to you, it seems to me.
Happy anniversary Mr & Mrs Jax.

Good morning from a soggy wet W Kent. It was so sunny yesterday we had a drive out, stood on the doorstep for a chat with DS down with Covid and sandwich lunch in a lovely cafe we have found. Off to art this morning I really hope it is less political this week and a bit more painting.
Farview hope your journey to Dubai goes well, a friend of mine has just flown to Bahrain.
Marydoll what a carry on it all is, I think I related my husband's experience the other day of being called to an appointment he didn't need. If it wasnt so serious it would be farce.
Happy Anniversary Mr &MrsJax
Best wishes for today

When I spent three weeks in another bedroom after discharge kitty, the first thing I requested be put into the room was my Nespresso Machine. 😂

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny but nippy Carlisle. I don't mind the nippiness, I just like to see blue skies, they have been in short supply recently.
Yesterday the car was serviced and passed its first MOT. I came home to a stormy wet afternoon so it was an afternoon of reading and brain training.
Today I plan to tackle my ironing and I also have a grocery delivery but, sadly, I must contact the dentist. A wobbly crown has come off. I'm not hopeful of successful root canal work to replace it, the last time this happened with an older crown, my root canals were found to have calcified.

Marydoll I'm so sorry you're having such awful times with the NHS. If they can't/won't sort you out promptly and without you having to constantly chase them, what hope is there for rest of us with relatively minor problems?
The other day, I asked Mr Google what the world's best health services were, the NHS didn't figure in the top ten!

Wishing Ash well and everyone feeling down or poorly.

Good morning from Shropshire.

I’m sorry to hear you had such a frustrating call with your GP Marydoll.I agree with GrannyGravy, it’s really not good enough.If you have the energy to deal with it could you request a call from the Practice Manager?

Gingster, I am sorry your daughter has more worries for you all to deal with.Thinking of you all💐🙏🏻

Safe journeys to all travelling, best wishes for all celebrating, and thoughts to Ash and all unwell.

Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a grey and damp North Leicestershire.

The plan today is to change our bed (well, my bed since I came home from hospital) which is always fun. And I need help moving my jumpers from the other wardrobe.

Later we have a Sainsbury's delivery.

Be still my beating heart!!

To all who are celebrating - have a fabulous day.

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northampton, with a cat on my lap and a large mug of tea!

Managed to get three beds' worth of bedding washed and dried (outside) yesterday; now to make up the beds again for the DGDs at the weekend, and get the winter duvets on. Spent a pleasant afternoon at the well-being cafe, knitting, chatting and eating cake!

A morning of pottering, then two dance classes after lunch, then home to await the Sainsbury's delivery.

Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

Morning all

I can confirm that it is lashing down and windy here in our corner of S E Essex, it’s messing with the internet grrr.

Sorry to learn your DD has more things to worry about sending you a (((hug))) Gingster. Sar53 please don’t go close to the sea wall or you will be washed away today 🤣

Happy Anniversary to the Jax’s 🥂🍾

MaryDoll I think it’s time you itemised all the mistakes and omissions your various health care professionals have made and send a duplicate letter to the lot of them and a copy to your MP, it really is not good enough 🤬

I have already ordered Christmas gifts from my bed this morning, I was intending to go to either Chelmsford or Lakeside but the weather is abysmal and after my trip to the local retail park (Mayflower) yesterday I was shattered.

Some pottering and I have some bedding to iron (I really wish I could get into a bed without ironed bedding, but I just cannot, if I was to win the lottery my luxury would be freshly laundered and ironed bedding each night, I know it’s wrong for the environment but it’s just a dream)

Have your best day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° with blue skies. Jaxjacky happy anniversary to you both. marydoll that's so upsetting for you.
Yesterday's visit to mum wasn't great. She was in the dressing gown of doom again. She brightened up a little but slumped again. I find visits very draining. I then visited my friend and her partner and had a blether with them. She's been quite unwell and still isn't completely right yet. The weather was awful most of the day.
Today I have nothing planned until later when I'm meeting friends for an early tea. That's just as well as the new neighbours across the road are moving in and their large van is parked across my drive so I couldn't get out if I wanted. I'm sure if I had to ask them to move it, they would as they seemed very nice when I met them. There's a large skip in the drive so lots of changes happening. My daughter likens me to Isa from Still Game which is a tad closer to the truth than I'd like! I prefer to say I'm like Miss Marple. Pottering happening here for a while. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a rainy N. Bucks.
DD1 is calling in today for an hour or two so a good chat is in the agenda.
We have little grandson this afternoon and will collect his brother from school. Will give them dinner and then SIL will collect them.
I have a request for chocolate cake so better get on with that.
Pleased to hear your good news*Kalu*.
Happy anniversary *Mr & Mrs Jax.
Safe journeys to all who are travelling.
Thoughts with all who are poorly .

Glad to see your news was good Kalu. Happy Anniversary to Jaxjacky🍾🍾.That's a big increase Shazza. We are meeting friends for lunch a lot of catching up to do . I got my £250 allowance yesterday ,no sign of oh ,s yet .Hope you all a good day. 💐for them that need them.

🤣
Yes, it’s dry and getting brighter here Gala!
We had quite a laugh yesterday about my reports being at odds with hers!

It’s a beautiful sunny start to the day here in South Lanarkshire. Good morning all.

I had another very broken night, Sod’s Law as today is childminding day. Hey ho, I hope the weather is as good on the east coast, it will give me a boost.

Happy anniversary wishes to the Jaxs.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from the Sefton coast.
Cha, naughty but nice cake and chat with friends today.
Have the best Thursday possible.
🌸

Good morning from a dry & getting brighter Sefton. How's the weather your way Nannagarra?😉

No Zumba this morning, our instructor is still feeling the effects of Covid. So we will take advantage of a 'free' day with a trip out to Cheshire Oaks ..... ooh, retail overload. Babysitting the 4yr old DGD this evening so that mum can go & watch dad & his amateur theatre group's latest musical Jekyll & Hyde. Not sure about this one. Sounds gruesome.

Great news Kalu. What a relief for you both.

Now back to the beginning to catch up with all your doings & busyness.

Wishing you all the best of days & sending positive vibes & ((hugs)) to those of you who are struggling.
