Very late catching up today, sorry to hear about health problems FGT but good to see that the Christie replied so quickly and actions are in place. Safe journey home tomorrow and 🤞🏻 it’s just a blip.
💐 to all who might need or like some.

Safe journey home to you and Himself, FGT. Will hold you both in my thoughts on Monday 🫂

LizzieDrip Fri 09-May-25 15:55:57

FGT I know we’ve disagreed politically in the past but that’s nothing compared to illness, which I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

I hope this is just a blip for your DH, and your worries will be eased on Monday💐

fgt thank you for the update. I do hope this is just a minor blip for your DH, thinking of you both. Good that you heard back from the Christie so quickly and hoping all goes well on Monday. flowers

Good morning afternoon everyone. Today is my Dad's 39th anniversary of release from his horribly sick body. He died quite young at 57. I still miss him an awful lot.

Good afternoon Michael12 and everyone!

I had a really weird dream last night! There was a large house containing parents with 3 young kids and I'd rented a room in their house but it wasn't one single room it was an entire flat in their house.

I found the family to be a bit....weird... so avoided them when possible.

It was in my flat in the livingroom, it was night and all the curtains etc. were closed. I was watching TV and suddenly got the idea I was being watched, I tried to ignore it and concentrate on the telly but in the end I got up and crept around, going from the livingroom to the bedroom then bathroom and kitchen and the more time I spent in the bedroom the more the horrible being watched feeling became.

It was now so bad I was physically shaking and peeked out of the window blinds .... to find a huge guinea pig on the windowsill!

I gently picked him up and was cuddling him to find there was some straps attached to him around the shoulders which went up the back of his neck which was then attached to a tiny spy camera on the top of his head!

So I was being watched after all and I was positive it was the creepy family who put it on him!

I immediately took the straps and camera off, broke the camera and soaked it in hot water with bleach and sat back down to watch the telly snuggled in with the guinea pig.

Then the dream changed to something else!

Weirdo!

Thanks for the update, safe journey home FGT💐

JenniferEccles Fri 09-May-25 12:35:52

Thank you for coming back with an update FGT2

It makes such a difference to have lovely kind folk at hospitals when we are feeling anxious and vulnerable, doesn’t it, so I’m pleased that’s the case for you both at the Christie.

Wishing for the very best for the both of you.

Just to say. Flights home are booked for tomorrow morning and the Christie secretary rang me. She’s lovely. Appointment given for Monday afternoon, bloods, clinic and possible camera down. Very efficient.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny midlands. The birds are chirping and all is right. Hugs to all suffering.

Good morning Mick and all who follow. It's a glorious morning following a beautiful sunrise on the Angus coast. Our local met man is prophesying a repeat of the summer of '76 - that would be rather nice. That was the year we returned to the UK after nearly 4 years in Malta and it was a actually warmer in England than it had been in Malta when we left. We were then posted up to the Moray Firth coast in the September and the weather was still glorious then. Happy days.
So glad to hear your DGD is out of hospital again Sar. The pressure of exams is having such a bad effect on her - just when she needs to feel at her best flowers
More flowers for you and your lovely man FGT. Chemo trails its 'health blips' unfortunately - I hope you hear from the Christie's nurse quickly. 🙏🫂
Grandmattie your life sounds rather like the life I used to lead - and then came the first lockdown and I had to stop. I well remember after about three weeks of that enforced rest how well I felt, and I hadn't until that point realised just how tired I had been. I think you'd do well to start stepping back now rather than be forced to later by ill health. You've done amazingly well with the way you have integrated into your new life, and now's the time to reap the benefit of that 🫂
A belated happy birthday Corner - enjoy your weekend.
My week with DS here 'working from home' is drawing to a close, sadly but inevitably. It's been so lovely having him here. We had a lovely evening with my DGDs in Perth on Wednesday - all were on good form and there was lots of laughter. DGD1 was on two days off from her new job in a hotel in Aberfeldy so was able to join as and tell us all about that. Hospitality is the way she wants to go and strangely I think her degree in dance is going to help her there - she has that lovely deportment and confidence that goes with it.
Anyway DS is off south again tomorrow morning and I shall have to return to my mundane existence happy, calm and quiet life 😉😁. I shall have to keep on with clearing out of everything - I am discovering now what a hoarder I've been during the nearly 30 years I have lived here!!
Have a good day everyone x

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. It’s feeling warmer and the weekend looks like it may be the ‘mini heatwave’ finally.

FGT2 you must be worried sick, I do hope it turns out to be something minor x.

Pray you’re not left hanging on for too long Marydoll.

Hoping the move goes well Brook.

Yesterday’s decluttering resulted in another bagful of never/hardly worn clothing. I have ordered 2 pairs of cheap cotton leggings online to wear at home or under short dresses. I no longer know what size I am and seller’s websites are not particularly helpful.

We didn’t get across to the marina as I didn’t really feel up to being in a crowded room. We had a stroll down to the lock gates instead and will probably do the same today. It was lovely and warm in the sun.

As always, my thoughts are with those under the weather or dealing with sorrow in their lives.

Wishing all you all a happy Friday 🌹♥️

Marydoll flowers Hope the appointment turns up soon

Pantglas2 Fri 09-May-25 09:21:45

“P,S. Pants, I am coming to you for dinner tonight? 🦐“ Miss Marydoll

I’ll put another bottle in the fridge then…🫡

GrannyGravy13 Fri 09-May-25 09:04:49

Marydoll please do not think we do not need your novellas

Speaking for myself I look forward to hearing from you, and get extremely worried when you are no show on this thread.

Marydoll

Beechnut

Goood morning everyone.
I wondered what was happening there Marydoll

FGT 💐 x

My brain is mush today and it was probably a sign that people really don't need my lengthy novellas, derailing the thread. wink

Not to worry Marydoll. I scrolled on by until I got to what you wanted to say 😀
