Thank you Aldom. I will have a look and best wishes on your move.

It's called House buying stress and is the 10th thread. Look under house and home.

Best wishes on your move Aldom.
Exciting!!

Thank you Aldom. I will have a look and best wishes on your move.

Crocus5 if you put Help Calm Me Moving House Gransnet into Google search, the forum comes up.
It's a wonderful thread, started by Karamalady, but under a different user name.

I just need to add my congratulations to Ash and Old D on their anniversary.
Sorry you are in such pain Kalu

Aldom How do I find the Help, calm me thread, which you refer to above?

Scandalously late to the party today but have spent most of the morning on the phone with an old friend with very worrying family problems. All I can usefully do is listen but it is so sad that at 87 she is dealing with such alarming issues. Makes me very grateful not to be in her position.

MRI scan shows some deterioration but muscle damage so thankfully no operation but the attentions of our wonderful local physio - in other words, managing this painful hip is within my control. How lucky am I? I am so relieved and of course this morning nothing is hurting, for a change, so a refuelling trip to the supermarket comes next.

Happy anniversary *Ash and Od*

Oh dear! That should say 10 but olddudders says 100 is more accurate!!

Thank you all for your heartwarming anniversary messages which are much appreciated by both of us. I've added a picture of us taken on the day and another taken this summer so you can see how 100 years have taken their toll......!

I meant to add that Ekwanimitee is fine and will be posting again soon x

Thank you stillearning I was concerned.

Just finished reading the thread. Happy Anniversary Ashcombe/Olddudders!. 🎉

Good morning and I’m late to the party.
My two old school pals are coming for lunch and I’ve been a busy bee.
We were supposed to be going to an art exhibition in London. One of the gds had a few paintings on show. I didn’t think I could leave Dh all day and Dd wasn’t available to sit in with him.
So they said they would come to me instead. One of them lives in Wimbledon, so a long trek for her.♥️.

I hope you all have a good day .☔️
Prayers for the people in Jamaica 🇯🇲.🙏

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast. DS DD from the south and DGD (Yorkshire) were here from Sunday as a late get together for DS 50th. On Monday I fulfilled my promise to an old friend in Cheshire to pick him up from hospital after op’, sedation and stay with him overnight. He was ok and I came back the following day. DD still here but has sprained her back getting a loudspeaker out of her car.

It was nice to have a quiet night in with DD last night. I have my opera co rehearsal tonight and she is out with friends.
Congratulations Ashcombe, thoughts to dragonfly, and all the best for the move Aldom🌺

Thank you to everyone for your good wishes for my house move.
karma your Help Calm me thread has been a great help.

Thank you for the update on Ekwanimitee, Stilllearning. Thoughts with you for your friend’s funeral 🦋

Fabulous gansey Karma

Good luck with your move Aldom

Good morning from sunny East Lothian. I think showers are forecast but it’s a bit warmer than it was at the weekend.

DH is going to continue painting the skirting board in preparation for new flooring being laid in the new year. There is fitted carpet which will be removed by the flooring people but he is cutting the edge to make painting easier. Very messy to live with but we have only a few more days here before we go back south.

DD and I are planning to go for coffee at a garden centre/nursery that we haven’t been to before and we should have a good natter.

Happy Anniversary to Ashcombe and Olddudders 🥂

Hope the move goes well Aldom.

Dragonfly, thinking of you and hope to hear of further improvement for your DH 💐

I’m glad to hear you have your phone sorted Mick.

Best wishes to all.

Oh karma what a beautiful gansey. You have such great patience and talent! I love the colour, a very rich plum/aubergine. Perfect for winter wearing. Your attention to detail is wonderful. Your son in law will be proud to wear it I’m sure - as it’s made with love too.

Good morning all. A wet and windy again start to the day in Glasgow but the rain has stopped and the sun has appeared.

I took up an invitation to a Prosecco and shortbread evening at a local ladies clothes shop last night. No purchases made, I passed on the Prosecco, can’t stand the stuff but enjoyed the shortbread and company. Laughs and blethering were a good tonic. I awoke this morning with pain levels at 8, reached for pain relief meds and gritted my teeth until they kicked in. Onwards and sideways yet again.

Hoping you have signs of your DH recovering soon Dragonfly. A very difficult time for you and yours. Look after yourself too.

My best to all for a decent day or at least a brighter one for those of you struggling through.

Thinking of all the poorly and fed up , xx

Another sunny but chilly good morning from Co Armagh!
I found more washing that needs freshening , it’s got to the spinning stage , so I’ll get it hung out before I trot off to our seniors club , I’m trying to remember what we are doing today , it might be a card game
I go regardless , it’s usually fun , we are lucky to have over twenty members aged between 40 and 90+
The best bit is the chat before the activity
Last week was a local artist giving us a talk about 18th and early 19th century stuff , we had a go , drawing round shapes an colouring them in

Oh Grandmabatty you poor little GS, boys will be boys.

Happy Anniversary Ashcombe I hope you and OldDudders have an enjoyable day 🥂🍾

Morning everyone from South Lanarkshire. I was really sorry to read about your wee grandson’s fall Grandmabatty, I hope he is over the fright.
Thinking about your husband Dragonfly, and you.

Big move Aldom, I hope it goes well.

Happy picture Ashcombe!
I hope your appointment went well yesterday GrannySomerset

Spending the afternoon with friends today and then we will all be there when our friend’s coffin is taken to the church this evening which is still the tradition in these parts, and tomorrow will be her funeral.

Good wishes to all for a good day.
