Hi All

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes I really do appreciate them. I have not been posting as I have been really down with one thing and another I spent most of the afternoon wallpapering  between tears so only managed to get half the wall done, Today was much harder than I thought it would be but it is almost over, and hopefully my mood will lift until the next hurdle in September which is when Bert was diagnosed and was also his birthday, he spent the last 2 years in isolation in the hospital, the first year he was diagnosed the 2nd he had relapsed and was admitted exactly the same day.

Sue you managed to make me laugh thank you, your pics really are a tonic.

Love and Hugs to everyone

Love Teri

Hugs to EVERYONE x x x

Now can somone please tell me the dates of the Scottish and London meets I am confused. (ok ok I know...., what's new?). 

I guess I should try to get some sleep.  rofl rofl rofl.  Best joke I heard in years. Well yes I do go to sleep but I see most hours of the night as I just can't stay asleep. grrrrrr.......  I used to be young and lovely and now I am old and hagard.  Who put that old woman's face where my face  should be??????

I hope that you all have a good Wednesday x x x

Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x

Morning everyone.  I was clearing rubble last night so ran out of time to post.  I love all the pictures Sue - made me smile at this hour.  And Lynne stripping in the kitchen!!!  And then I find Lynne is jogging in the rain - excuse me if I think I might have been abducted by aliens!  Well done Lynne and I hope you manage your 9 minute target today.

I am expecting the electrician back today so am having a half day holiday.

Hi Manda.  Glad to hear from you - I had missed you.  I hope you feel a little better soon.  I think I manage to avoid things like parties for now until I am more accepting of being on my own.  You & H looked lovely though.  It would be great if we could have another Manchester meet soon.

Patricia I am racking my brain trying to think of anything you might not have tried so that you sleep better.  You don't look a bit haggard but it must be hard for you to feel well on so little sleep.  I really hope the problem is solved very soon.

Teri I know yesterday was hard but well done to you for finding a job to help you through it xx

Good luck with the job app Helen.  Hope you managed the DVD.  I find that very difficult as well and only watch TV if I have some ironing or something I can do at the same time.  Stu got me a couple of DVDs for my birthday so that I can try harder to sit down and watch them.

Well I had better get off and get ready for the electrickaman.  Have a good day everyone.  Ailsa xxx

Hi Everyone,   Well weather has been really bad here today very wet, we had the queen visiting the town today but i never saw her as i was working. I have a friend down tonight and we usually go for a walk but to wet tonight. Sue they were great pictures you posted i had a wee laugh to myself. Lynne jogging i wish i could. My sister has Rod Stuart tomorrow night at Edinburgh Castle so i hope it keeps dry for her, i am going next Sat night to see him but it's indoors we are staying overnight there is six of us going so should be good. Lynne how's your dad doing just now? My dad was away at the day hospital again today but was so out of breath they couldn't do any phisio but it gets him out for a wee while. Hope everyone is doing ok and i am sending you all big hugs. Fiona xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  

Evening all , Patricia the meets are on the 2nd october (london) and the scott meet is on the 23rd oct . I've managed to get the fridays off before both meets so hopefully be traveling on the fridays . May as well make a full weekend of it xx

Fiona dad is a little better again and he had a hospital appointment today , they have decided to operate again in 4 weeks (fingers crossed for a bed ) and he sees the palitive care team in a couple of weeks , so i think he's a lot happier now than he was xx

Hope you got your work done today Ailsa , i really wanted to get on with some things tonight but a pipe under the sink had started leaking so i had to wait for the plumber for a couple of hours and then he was here a hour and half so its to late to start anything now and its to late for the jogging too and i was looking forward to it (cant believe it ) Helen and Lesley what have you done to me lol . xx Sue i hope you had a good day at work , not many left now . xx Amanda just sending you a big hug (((hug))) always here for you hun xx  Judi and rosemary , where was you when i was jogging on the park ? i really thought i would bump into you both lol xx Gayle i hope your having a good couple of day , cant wait for the update xx

Hugs to all xxx

and take care xxx

Lynne xxxx

Hi everyone.  Fiona, Lynne it is good to hear a little bit of good news about each of your Dads.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for more of the same.  I have checked with Stu this evening to see if he minds if I am away in London for the weekend of his birhday - he doesn't mind at all - give him more time to spend with his friends!!  So that will be me going to both meets.

The electrician was here from 8 until just before 2.  There were a few odd things that Chris had done that he fixed.  They were not too big a deal but are better now.  There were a few more odd things to do with the wiring from when the house was built.  He has solved the problems with the new fuse box and I have a full domestic electrical certificate now so it was worth another day of mess.  I am sooooo fed-up of clearing the dust and rubble now.  I need this to be done and forgotten as it is still upsetting me that Chris isn't here to help and make me confident I am making the right decisions and also just to see the job done at last.  I know he can't be here but it is no fun on my own so it will be many years before I tackle anything else of this scale.  Lynne there is always tomorrow for the jog and the jobs - it is throwing it down here so not good for jogging anyway.

I hope everyone else is okay tonight.  The cooler weather seems to have made us all a bit quiet - must affect our spirits!  Take care everyone.  Ailsa xxx

Ailsa - your lovely Chris will be there somewhere peering over your shoulder - nodding his head that you've made the right choices......xxxx

Lynne - I watched a young lady jogging round our park the other morning and then she stopped to do some exercises too!!!  That wasn't you was it???  (Only joking - as I know you live a good few miles from me).
