Good Morning Thursday 5th January 2023

A very late in the day "Happy Birthday" to kittyl and J52. Hope you both had a lovely day.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest Lancashire coast. Very mild, so not using much ch.
Slept through without cramp last night, but should really do something about it as it’s now chronic.
Off to charity shop with lots to unload. It’s a very handy shop as not in the town centre and it has an apron to park on and they are not fussy about any items.
Birthday greetings kittylester and J52

Happy birthdays to Kitty and J52
Hope your DSF finds the cause of his nosebleeds Urms

Good morning all from a cloudy damp grey Lancashire. Despite hardly going out I seem to have picked up a bug, sore throat and sneezing and feeling hot despite the cold weather. I’m fully vaccinated against every known disease so heaven knows what this is.

Good Morning from an overcast, but mild & breezy N.,Cambs.,

Happy Birthday to *kittylester & to J52, hope you both enjoy your special day. .

Urmstongran, what a worry for you, I do hope that your Step-father gets the help he needs.

Warm thoughts for all with extra cares & ill-health.

Urms so sorry to hear the overnight news re your stepfather. I’ll second about it being a symptom of high blood pressure. It’s how my DH got diagnosed with it in 2005. I assume it will or will be checked. He has you two fighting his corner so I sincerely hope he will get it sorted.

Good morning from West York's .Happy birthday *
* Kitty* and j52 . Hope your stepfather gets sorted Urms. Just getting sorted to go shopping for some bits .My hip and back were very bad yesterday so not much walking today.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday J52 🎂🎉🍷

Good morning from a dull, mild Co Durham.
Many happies to the birthday girls.
Off to hairdressers now, hope all of you with worries have a better day.

Urms - just seen your update. Your poor DSF - hopefully they’ll discover the cause of his nosebleeds. I know that high blood pressure can cause nosebleeds. My DD used to get really horrible ones when she was younger, with huge clots too - it can be really frightening when it happens, both to the person having the nosebleed and for the person caring for them! Sending you all a gentle hug and positive vibes that it can all be sorted quickly x

Morning from a dry but cloudy Staffs. Lovely to read your posts. HB to the birthday girls.
I’m one of the ones with the cough and cold bug that’s circulating here. It started early December, eased off over Christmas and now back with a vengeance. Have tested negative. Don’t have a temperature or chest pain or breathless-just sound like a smoker and feel washed out-moan, moan!
Am staying indoors, keeping isolated. DH has completely recovered so I live in hope I’ll fully recover soon

Good morning everyone from a bright south Hants where the sun is peeking out - hoping it’ll remain dry enough for a dog walk! Woke up late today - disturbed sleep and weird dreams so feeling a bit off. DH has kindly offered to do the food shop for his parents in a mo so that’s a relief as I would normally have not only done it but would be on my way to deliver it by now!! Bless him.
Not sure what the plan is for today other than that. I do need to get some new boots as I’m ruining the ones I have. I’m after some Muckboots … but need to try them on as I have wide feet! I’m hoping I can get some in the sales🤞🤞. They’ll be perfect for dog walking.
Haven’t read all the posts yet - but can see there’s some birthdays - so Happy Birthday to Kitty and J52.
Oops - am so glad you had that conversation with your daughter.
Urms - I so hope your stepfather’s ok. It’s such a worry isn’t it.
Grannyfaraway - congratulations on the birth of your DGS. Beautiful photo you posted yesterday.
DDog is currently fast asleep and snoring on my lap and DCat is fast asleep on top of the sofa! Gosh I’m so tired I may even have forty winks myself!!
Have the best day you can. Thinking of those with worries and those in pain 🦩🦩🦩
Hugs and 🌻🌻 for you all x

Good morning from a damp but mild Durham.

Happy Birthday to the ladies. 🎂
So sorry to hear about your DSF Urms - it sounds worrying.
Lovely pic of The Tweed - late DH was part of a fishing on it - I have a framed pic of his beat in the study.

I started with sympathy of cystitis yesterday, but taking those cranberry granules regularly - even overnight seems to have sorted the problem. I’ve DD2’s little dog here, so I’ll get him out for a walk, then take him home later, along with all her and DGS2’s holiday laundry, which I’ve done.
DD1 has gone down with her 2nd dose of Covid and it quite poorly this time. She’s been unwell since mid December, but not positive until Tuesday, so we thought she had ‘flu.
DD2 continues to go to hospital 2x a week for her foot wound - it’s going to be a long job.

I hope everyone had a decent day.

All very worrying, Urms. Hopefully he will get the medical attention he needs soon.

Good morning from dry Harrogate.
I have not read any posts, hope to do that later.
Yesterday went to an out of town centre and had a look in Matalan where I saw ‘Teddy coats’ in plum colour which reminded me of Marydoll’s purple fur coat I’m sure yours would have been nicer ^Marydoll*
Today I await Sainsburies delivery, then hope to go to town and see if there are any bargains left!
Have the best day possible folks

Happy Birthday J52.

How worrying Urms I hope you can get some help today.

Good morning from a bright W Kent. Yesterday's trip to see friends new bungalow was very interesting, I always think I would like one but seeing the bedroom next to the garden I wasn't so sure, lovely for her though and exciting all the things being done. Floor washing and tidying today, family are coming on Saturday and I don't want to be in too much of a muddle.
Happy birthday to kitty and J52 enjoy your day.
Urms I hope you can get some answers for your step father.

How worrying for you Urms. I hope he can get it sorted quickly.

Good Morning everyone and another chilly one today. It warmed up quickly yesterday though so I expect it will do the same today.

Happy Birthday to Kitty and J52. I hope you both enjoy your special day. 💐🎂🥳

Shazza I’m really enjoying your tales from Madeira. It’s a country that I’ve wanted to visit for years.

Oh Urmstongran, how worrying for you.
I really hope that your very much loved Step Father gets the help he needs today.

Hes just rung me. Another 2 hour nose bleed last night.
He’s dressed and is slowly putting a few things in a bag. I said we’re on our way. This poor man. x

I really hope your stepdad is ok Urms.

Oh Urms, I hope all goes well with your DSF 🫂❤️

Happy Birthday J52 I hope you enjoy your day 🎂

Hoping things improve for your stepfather Urms and he quickly gets the treatment he requires
