Been following your thread for a time marydoll I’m so glad you’re getting sorted. Think of that nice glass of wine when you get home!

The best news, Marydoll, hope the revised medication does the trick. I am cooking roast duck with plum sauce in honour of DD and DSiL and hoping I get it right as practice.

Good news Marydoll In the words of Dorothy there’s no place like home. Rest up, enjoy a wee dram and allow yourself to be well looked after. 💐
Best wishes to Mr Marydoll too. I’m sure he’s run ragged with the hospital,parking etc but I’m sure he’s come up trumps.
Love to you both.

Glad to see you've been released MD now go and relax.

Marydoll Sat 04-Feb-23 13:10:46

Im trying to get home, but a case , two bags and wheelchair are not compatible. All sorts of people have come to the rescue. I have now been abandoned, while DH takes the bags to the car. He is very stressed.It is like something out of a comedy film. Mx

Are you free MD ?

Tiachigran sorry to say but I will be supporting Dunblane as lived here for many years but enjoy the match!

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
New tv arrived yesterday and with DD we got it going. It seems massive after my old one and love it. “How vulgar” my SIL said about large tvs😁 Am I bovvered? Of course it’s more complicated to start with and I’m waiting for the digibox, haven’t been able to record anything for months. My supply of old black and white films has gone with the new tv, but I’ll build up another supply.
DD came in tipsy after night out with friends and kept repeating herself. She’s in better shape than me this morning however and is out again soon. As she’s only her for three nights, she catches up with old friends here,
How irritating grandmattie and thoughts to anyone with worries.
Will read through later.

Good morning everyone. Another damp grey day here in Lancashire. It feels much milder and less windy. I have managed a walk for the last couple of days, fingers crossed I will be able to get out again today.

Have a peaceful Saturday, hope any poorly grans are on the mend. 🦩🦩

Kalu Sat 04-Feb-23 10:02:03

Good morning from Glasgow where it is dry and milder.

First off, such good news Marydoll. Agus, Slainte Mhath 🥂

An at home day today, foutering and faffing about with more craftwork to finish off. Salmon en croute with roast veg. tonight.

Best wishes to all for a good weekend.

Five hours sleep last night. I looked up and saw water marks on my en suite ceiling. I needed to investigate and find a solution.

condensation dripping from an uninsulated long rigid vent from the kitchen. A lot of water and a lot of stripping out. I have worked out a solution and can start when amazon deliver. In the meantime, the area has a big temporary drip tray

Not much doing today, hard to settle

Good morning all from Stockport.
Just popped in to wish everyone well and to say my late H was also a Chartered Surveyor, but a different division from the ones who do house surveys.
He was in General Practice, there are many types of surveyors.
It goes without saying my H was an excellent one.😉😇

aggie Sat 04-Feb-23 09:42:27

Good morning everyone from a dull Co Armagh, we are forecast rain
*GaradMatie This are moving for you , I hope you find an apartment that chimes for you
Lovely to read your post this morning Marydoll here’s to that glass of wine , would white include champagne? 🥂I’m not a drinker 🤣🤣

Greyduster Sat 04-Feb-23 09:40:18

Too true, Wyllow. Some of the freshest fish you’ll ever taste.

Taichinan Sat 04-Feb-23 09:38:25

Good morning all from a grey south Perthshire from where I am off very shortly to watch DGD3's netball match in Grangemouth. Be still, my beating heart! Apparently her team, from Dunblane, haven't won a match yet, so I am hoping this will be THE one!
Marydoll great news - you're going to feel like a new woman!
I had a lovely lunch out with friends yesterday, but enjoyed a chilli con carne for the last time! It really didn't like me at all!!
Now I must love you all and leave you to turn myself into a keen netball afficionado. Have a good day all x

SunshineSally Sat 04-Feb-23 09:30:44

Good morning Mick and all from south Hants.
Just dipping in quick …. busy day seeing DS2 and family so lots to do beforehand!
Finally picked up my car - thankfully they had discounted the cost by a third but still not much change from £1k. Will take my car today to see if it’s fixed.
Marydoll that’s such good news - cheers 🥂
Gotta dash - enjoy today, make the most of what you’re able to do. Thinking of those that are poorly 🦩🦩🦩
🤗 and 🌻🌻 x

I often read but don’t post on here. Just popped in to say what a relief that must be for Marydoll!
My son was involved in the research about drug effectiveness and your DNA.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy dry Northampton, quite mild out, apparently.

As it's been dry for the last week I am planning on getting the lawn mower out this afternoon and give the back lawn its first cut of the year. It is growing quickly and I daren't leave it any longer. It will be hard work, but needs must. Then next week I can make a start on the spring tidy.

Will read the papers this morning and have a go at the crossword. After my exertions in the garden I shall be ready to sit down and watch the rugby before dinner.

Somehow I managed to come back from the shops yesterday with two new tops and a t-shirt, plus a pair of shoes for my holiday next month - they must have fallen off the rails and into my basket..... There was another top in Next I really liked but not in my size, so I may have a day out to Milton Keynes next week.....

So glad things are being sorted for you Marydoll - enjoy that first glass of white wine!

Wishing all a pleasant weekend.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. As Grandmadinosaur says it’s a grey day.

We were supposed to be up earlier to go to do our big food shop the supermarket gets very busy on a Saturday. We both had a disturbed night so couldn’t drag ourselves up.
Lots to mention on here this morning such interesting reads.
Marydoll 💐 thinking of you.

Just a fairly chilled day today nothing pressing on our time. We’ll take the day as it comes.
Have a good Saturday all and enjoy those grandchildren cuddles, family activities and gardening. 🌻🌻

PS I have yet to met a decent surveyor. Money for old rope imo.

My son is a Chartered Surveyor!!!! 😉

😳 oh I’m sure that there are exceptions😄😄😄.

PS glad to hear that things are progressing. Not at all surprised to hear about the over prescribed medication. My mother (d. at 101) also suffered from being overprescribed and once she stopped she never looked back, but had been really poorly before that decision was made.
I’m sure that will be a thing of the past once your DNA can be matched to the necessary drugs.
Ever onwards!

Good morning from grey East Yorkshire. Late up and boy I could have stayed there.

Just skimmed threads but glad to see things looking better for MD

Yesterday nothing went to plan with workmen arriving for quotes and meetings for DH. They all got rearranged or at a later time!

Today having an easy day a top up shop and DH watching football later.

Have a good day everyone.
