Good Morning Wednesday 16th November 2022

So sorry to read that Ashcombe has suffered such a setback and hope she responds to treatment soon. Good news from Shazza and a timely reminder not to jump to judgement from Urmston, and congratulations to gMattie for being brave as well as kind.

Am disconcerted at feeling so exhausted by yesterday, when the plumber was here most of the day fitting new radiators in the sitting room. Why am I tired? The plumber did most of the work! Still, the new radiators will be much more effective and the room cosy so worth the upheaval, and at least it meant that as I had to empty the glass cabinet and give it a good clean and the contents washed.

Dentist and singing today and the sun is shining so onwards and upwards.

Good Morning from s Yorks, where the sky is got but not a patch of blue. here's hoping. Bloods at the GP then the gym today.

GM you could do nothing else, well done for all.
I'm sorry to hear about Ash, and hope she won't be in hospital for long.

(thanks for the Trump news snippets!)

The finished cardigan for my elderly friend.

Sorry to hear Ash is back in hospital hope it's a short stay.
GM don't feel bad your friend has been lucky you stepped up when needed,like others have said maybe some of her other friends couldn't accommodate her.
Shazza bet that's cheered you up this morning.
Brooke your Spanish trip sounds wonderful.
((hugs)) to all below par. We have our usual Wednesday picking up Gc from school.

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Spent yesterday sorting out Christmas cards and looking through bits I have purchased over the year, so I feel I have made a start. Taking a DF to a local garden centre this morning, tea and cake included.
Very sorry to hear your are back in Hospital Ash best wishes for a swift recovery.
gM it must have been a difficult conversation, glad you had it. I wondered if some of the visiting friends think you are wonderful and they know they just couldn't do it!
Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning all, sorry for setbacks with some of us, I have one too, my visit to consultant for biopsy result now postponed to Saturday, family have rescheduled as much as poss. Now feeling quite ill like I’m on drugs or in a coma, not sure if it’s anxiety or imagination.

Good morning from Durham, where I was woken at stupid o’clock by the window cleaner! It poured down all day yesterday so he was making an early start to catch up.
My dear friend starts chemo today, in a bid to contain her bowel cancer. Treatable, not curable.
Sorry to hear about Ash may she be back on the road to recovery very soon.
‘gM* I was always doubtful that your DL’s property purchase would fit in with expectations. However as others say you have done far more than her other friends, saved her a fortune and I know you won’t abandon her when she moves into Hotel accommodation. I think that move will also help her - being another step in getting back to independent living.
I have DD2’s little dog here again today, so a walk is on the cards later and I must give some thoughts towards Christmas gifts, as I will be away from 21/12.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a dry but cool NE.
Yesterday was a miserable, rainy day. Hairdresser came and was gone by 10am so I decided to give myself a day off from housework.
DIL sent a message to say she had ordered advent calendars for me to give GDs and they would be delivered this week. Within one hour the first arrived and the second came at 4pm. We have never seen such rapid delivery and one of them was Royal mail.
SIL coming today and we will go shopping, new decorations for the tree are on the list. I do not want plastic tat.
Sorry to hear Ashcombe is in hospital again, get well soon 💐
You did the right thing grandMattie, the conversation had to happen. You now know who DL's real friends are and you have more than done your bit.
The people who deemed DL's house suitable for an amputee ought to be brought to book. They offloaded the problem on to someone else, not good enough.
Have the best day you can.

Megs hugs 💐

Dark 6degrees earlier, now a balmy 10degrees in Lancashire! Sun broken through gloriously autumnal

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 8°C. Hope your day goes to plan Mick.

Mr. B has been shopping, no shortages in Lidl and it was quiet. I shall be getting on with sorting out cards and making plans. I must speak to family and find out what they’re intending to do.

That must have been a difficult conversation GrandMattie. Well done for sticking to your guns. You really have been more than kind to someone in need. The way elderly and vulnerable people are let down by the care system saddens me. It’s shocking that none of her many friends were willing to step up though I am trying to be charitable.

Have a fabulous time in sunny Granada Brook.

Have a good day all, sending best wishes and healing thoughts to Ash and all who are under the weather 🌹

You couldn’t have been kinder to your DL Mattie and should have no regrets about the conversation you’ve had.
Sorry to hear about Ashcombe and sending her every best wish.
Megs36 this must be quite an anxious time for you. 🤞 for your results on Saturday.
Woo hoo Shazza!

Hope you're soon home Ashcombe, take good care, I always look out for you on the thread!!

Morning from a dry but dull NE.
Hope Ash improves quickly. Thoughts with all who have difficulties.
Sar53( I think), I’ve not tried my new air fryer yet, I’d be interested to know how you find it.
Have the best day possible folks.

I shall continue to keep everything crossed for you Megs. BlueSapphire if it doesn’t fit your friend I’ll send you my address!👏👏. But I’m sure she’ll love it!

I'm in the queue too Grey and Blue that cardigan is lovely.
