Urms - as I thought, DH has lost weight due to 2 gym sessions per week rather than one! His back is just backache. He swears that it was putting the Christmas decorations away in the eaves at the back of our wardrobe.

The practice was brilliant. He saw a gp at 10 am and a resident physio at 10.30. Can't fault the NHS.

Good morning everyone from another very frosty day in Northampton,. -1° outside at the moment. Late this morning again, as I was out last night and needed a bit of a lie-in! Did not have a good night though, as most of it seemed to be spent sitting up as lying down gave me terrible heartburn - too much food and wine!

It was good to see all members of the wine club and a pleasant time was spent catching up on everyone's news. Sadly though, we decided the time had come to wind up the club, mainly because transport to and from meetings has become difficult, due to ill health and age of husbands/partners who normally ferry us to and from meetings. We shall have one last meeting in April, and will use taxis for that one.

To the shops this morning to do a food shop for the weekend, as my DBrother-in-law is coming for a couple of days. Will give my dance classes a miss today.

40 years ago today I was in hospital awaiting my planned section - DD is 40 today! What a big baby she was - 9lb 3oz. She was at wine club last night, and we had a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate. A family lunch is being held on Sunday to mark the occasion.

Had an email from my DBrother to say that my DSis will be home from hospital today; care at home is being arranged for her and she has one or both of her daughters with her at the moment. No news as to what the nature of her illness is yet.

Haven't read the thread yet, but will wish all a pleasant Thursday.

A late good morning from Glasgow where it is -1, a hard frost , blue skies and sunshine.

Yesterday’s birthday celebration was exactly as DH would have wished for. Spending time with his girls, including DD2 on FaceTime. Enjoying their company and listening to them chatting and laughing. GD1, 17, had a few sips of champagne which she said she deserved after a stressful morning sitting her Advanced Higher English prelims. 😂 Perfect day.

Leaving soon fo DH’s speech therapist appointment in Glasgow after which it will be straight home to the warm for a relaxing afternoon.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning from a frosty Co Armagh, no more snow and the light covering seems to have shrivelled.
Good to see you moving forward grandMatie , it will take a while , things move so slowly
Tried to ring our Solicitor yesterday but unobtainable, so txt instead , answer from foreign parts . No doubt he will return eventually
I’m still trying to finishe the baby blanket/shawl/throw. Better stop reading posts and get hooking !
Great to hear Dolly meds working in parallel with the new tablets 😊 Marydoll

Good Morning from a sunny and frosty S. Yorks.

After a very busy day yesterday including a Zoom on local MH provision - very good one, with the Shadow Minister for MH present - and the gym, not going out today - slept an unheard of 9 hours and have to pack to drive north to family tomorrow - that is, all being well weather wise on the M1. I'm a confident driver - but won't "do" ice or snow.

I haven't seen them (DS, DiL, 4 grandchildren under 10), since early December and its my birthday tomorrow so all very special.

whitewave ouch, an awfully big job there. Glad you have a date, Mick, and bests with your eye, Susan. Poor DD, GrannyGravy13 hoping anti-b’s kick in soon.

Happy 40th birthday to your DD BlueSapphire I’m sure your day will be full of memories. 🎉

Kitty pleased your DH is ok. Much relief for you both.

GrannyGravy hope your DD can feel better soon it sounds like she is having an awful time 💐

My first bowel screening kit has just dropped on the mat! I’d better have a read. I’ve told my two best friends who also turn 60 what’s in store for them later this year. 🌻
