Good morning all, Marydoll sorry to hear about the nasty PM you received what makes people act like that? Being new to G.N. makes me reluctant to post. Pouring here in Cumbria already fire brigade busy as several houses flooded and a flood alert in place. Will be a day indoors for me crafting.
Keep dry and enjoy your day everyone.

Morning everyone from a very wet NE and very Windy. Didn't have a good night lat night, Husband not very well, eventually got to sleep about 1.00 then he was up again at around 2.30 and decided to sleep on his chair in the living room. I was then woken by my neighbours having a Karoake at 5 am, didn't stop until after 6, tried to message her but she didn't respond, think its time to contact council again as its really stressing my DH out. So it is going to be a very long day at work!!! Sorry to hear about your problems Marydoll, you just wonder about some people. Hope everyone else is keeping well.

Good morning from a very wet and windy co. Fermanagh. Is it ever going to stop raining.

Good morning from Durham, where I can only confirm Gillybob and Harrigran’s weather news. It’s horrible outside, but should say that it brightened up well yesterday. Don’t expect the same today - this looks set for the week!

I’ve not been on GN long - it’s a great site, but how awful that Marydoll should get a nasty PM - some people need to take a look at themselves first before they criticise others. Take no notice Marydoll - I look forward to your posts.

Safe day everyone! X

Good?? morning all from a very soggy, windy Devon. Heavy rain during the night & very windy morning. Stay at home day for me as car is in for MOT, I'm lucky as my mechanic (own garage) lives opposite me & takes my car instead of his own.

Another day phoning the Hospital to see how Mum is, now into 5th week (8 different wards in 2 Hospitals), trying to ensure she won't be sent home without a Care Package, she's 91 & very independent. I did speak to Physio yesterday who indicated Mum will be discharged to a Rehabilitation Ward. It's so frustrating as I can't visit, visiting hasn't been allowed since March except in exceptional circumstances. Also Mum is in Hospital in Blackburn, a 300 mile journey for me. DD & I are trying to sort her finances out & I will probably have to make the journey up there soon, at least I have somewhere to staygrin

Marydollflowers don't let some miserable old crone get to you, why do some people delight in being vicious & negative?

Stay safe all, glad I'm not travelling today, lots of trees down & possible flooding

Marydoll I have pm'd you x

I too mentioned that I hadn't seen Bellasnanna, last week. It's beyond 3 weeks now. I do hope she's alright.
Whether I dreamed it but had she mentioned coming to the UK, visiting ? Though it could well have been her friend after the death of the husband----can't just remember.

Popped back on for a catch up. Just to send good wishes to Marydoll after your horrible experiences with the PM yesterday. I won’t send a PM about it in case receiving it triggers a touch of anxiety so sending you some ? here.?

Good morning from a cold, wet, and windy north of Scotland. There is a distinct chill in the air already. My sweet peas have been decimated overnight. However yesterday afternoon was sunny and I sat outside supposedly reading but also enjoying hearing all the youngsters outside larking about. Music to my ears. I am not going anywhere soon as this is a tourist hotspot and I am amazed at how blasé folks are. It is easier to stay at home than get my blood pressure up. It is so cold that I am knitting - a winter pastime. Off to make my coffe and heat a Danish pastry as a reward for spending two hours doing some challenging admin.
marydoll why just why? ? your posts are a real joy to read especially just now when there are many days that I don’t feel like posting. So many lovely contributors on this thread and I save it to read every day, quite late so that I see all the posts. Thank you to everyone who gives a bit of themselves on here.

I do hope Bellasnanna is ok, I think she was worried about her GD travelling across USA to spend the summer with her Dad.

If you are reading and not posting Bellasnanna you are missed ??

Good Afternoon all from soggy wet Harrogate. I'm later this morning after accompanying DH on a hospital appointment because he is so thin. I have to admit my attempts at fattening him up ends up with ME putting on weight!! Then a coffee then a phone call from a school friend. Today have a lot of admin to get through and walking the dog. possible baking, who knows what I'll get done.
What a disturbing thing to happen Marydoll hope for better things today and tomorrow! And grandMattie hope your son will be home today and all problems are diminishing for all.

Greetings from North Warwickshire where it is temporarily slightly less soggy.

I am mainly a lurker but have called in to say I don't know why anyone would want to be nasty to Marydoll who is one of the nicest people on GN.

Taichinan Tue 25-Aug-20 13:17:31

Marydoll so sorry about your nasty pm yesterday. WHY do people feel they have a right to be unpleasant like that? I don't envy them their bitter and twisted lives. Oh, and I agree with you about masks below noses - I swear if I see another one I might be tempted to punch it! Hope you're feeling better today. ?

Stilllearning Tue 25-Aug-20 14:32:39

Very late today for a variety of reasons but just wanted to add my support to youMarydoll after your unpleasant experience yesterday. You were very kind when I joined this thread for the first time and I appreciated it. That message was someone else’s ‘stuff’, let it stay there, you are valued by so many-possibly the problem??

Susan56 Tue 25-Aug-20 15:23:19

Marydoll,I am so sorry that you received such a vile,cowardly message?Anybody who reads and contributes to this thread knows how seriously you and your family took shielding to protect your health.Time and again on gransnet I am shocked at the vileness of some posters towards others but to attack you about your daughters perfect wedding is a low blow.

I hope that you can put the nastiness behind you.So many of us look forward to your posts and your kindness when any of us are struggling.

Stay strong,we’ve got your back??????

Susan56 Tue 25-Aug-20 15:52:29

Cherry,sorry you had a bad night.Hope you are taking it easy today.Feel better soon?

CherryCezzy Tue 25-Aug-20 15:59:37

Thank you Susan ☺️

Nortsat Tue 25-Aug-20 16:25:23

Popped back to send ?to Cherry following your bad night ... though you may not see my post, as it’s now so late in the day.

CherryCezzy Tue 25-Aug-20 19:51:43

Thank you Nortsat, only just seen it ☺️

NfkDumpling Tue 25-Aug-20 20:17:37

Why would anyone be nasty to our Marydoll?

Marydoll Tue 25-Aug-20 20:48:07

Nfk only the writer of the PM does. I don't even know her, but she obviously thinks she know a lot about me!

To those lovely people who sent me PMs, thank you so much. I will reply, I promise.

Time to put this to bed now! Bless you all!
