morning, my friends

helen, I tried ice skating just the once and couldn't move for a week! lynne would have been proud of me; i spent more time on my bottom than on my feet - don't do co-ordination very well!

Judes, would LOVE to see you in lederhosen -pics please.

So glad kat is feeling better - my dogs can never get the hang of the lampshades; they do nothing for the paintwork, crash bang wallop.  Aice and i carried out the annual visit to the vets for cat injections last evening - catching the little so and sos to get them in their carriers was hilarious. Willow did what little children do when they resist going in a car seat - went totally rigid and cried pitifully.  Got there in the end - £84 poorer!

must get dressed - dogs need to go out..

love to all

Morning everyone,

Lynda, I hope you get on okay today.  I have heard they are particularly uncomfortable but a necessary evil.  Cover your ears Dave -  I have an overdue smear test and keep putting it off but will try and book it this week.  Just one of those rotten things we have to do and as we all know they are important.

Helen, hope you have a fab day out and can't wait to hear about the ice skating if you decide to do it.  Sounds like a right good laugh.  Ailsa, you must try harder at resting lol!  Easier said than done.  I decided to go for an earlish night last night and was up at 4 till 6.30 this morning. Grrr I hate it when that happens especially because I was in a hotel. So needless to say I then slept in again.  Not quite as bad in your own house as you can get up and do stuff.  Judi, Munich sounds brilliant - just what you need and Kat will be absolutely fine as you know the kennels she goes to adore her.  I promise I will unlock my cupboard and let the fireman go back to work lol.  Maybe I should try and burn some toast today??  Bren, good news about your cousin.  Like someone said about silver lining.  If all the terrible stuff hadn't happened to me I wouldn't have met all of you.  True good friends.  Lynne, why are you bumping your head?  Hope you get on a bit better today!  Fiona, I promised to hide my new phone :)  Well my boyfriend and I booked up a holiday last night so I am all excited.  We are going to a log cabin up north for 4 days in October.  It looks lovely and has leisure facilities at it but lots of nice places to walk and even an outdoor hot tub!  It is the day after I come back from London but that was the only dates that suited or it would have been November, so that is going to be a busy week. 

Anyway, I suppose I better go and do and some work.  Only 6 more working days till I go to Spain!

Take care penguins

Evening girls

Having been super-efficient and made notes they now don't make any sense....hey ho!!  Suppose I'll have to 'wing it' as per usual!!

My 'get up and go' still hasn't returned from its day off - so not much achieved to day!!!!  But on the other hand I don't seem to have had time to sit down either all day....so what have I been doing??  Answers on a postage stamp please....

Judi - would also love to see you in lederhosen and hear your drinking songs.  Munich is a beautiful city.......

Lynda - my eyes are watering at the thought of your mammogram and having had a few done over the past few years I know what torture it is!!!  And I think the freezer door would be the much gentler option!!!!

Bren - how lovely to have 'found' your cousin again.....and I'm so pleased to hear that your trip was good if tiring with all the driving - even when shared it is still a lot of time to sit in a car!!

Lynne - you really will have to stop pinching my party tricks!!  I can burn myself even when standing several yards away from a flame!!!!  My arms and hands are always covered blisters.....

Helen - your interview tomorrow??  I won't breathe a word to anyone...........but GOOD LUCK!!  I hope all goes well for you....

Gayle - Did I miss something??  A fireman in your cupboard??  For 'damsel-in-distress' moments??  I WANT ONE!!!

Sue - enjoy your feet up times - there are several weeks to go and as Mr Micawber always said - '...something will turn up...'

Have i missed anyone??  If so I apologise and send you all lots of love and big (((((((((bug higs)))))))))))

Dot xxxxxxxxxx

I havn't bumped my head(yet) just the burn thats giving me trouble . The dressings wouldn't stay on but everytime i asked a nurse to dress it (so easy when your in the hospital for most of the day ) they would tell me to go to Aand E which o dont want to do in works time but if its not any better tommorow i will go and see someone , its to painfull not to now .

 Helen , i can't believe you chickened out of the ice skating for a sedate trip to the pictures after all what the worse that could happen !! i promise not to go anywhere near you whilst your on the ice lol . Sue i am proud of you spendind all that time on your posteria and Dottee too , see my influence is everywhere , i just hope i'm not getting the blame for poor Kats little accidents , i promise Judi i didn't say anyhting at all to upset her .. Enjoy Munich , cant wait for the pictures too . Ailsa , you make me tired thinking about you always on the go , are you sticking to your early night tonight ? .. Lynda , hope everything went well today (ugh not pleasant ) and hopfully it wont be to long to get the results ..

Fiona thanks for the text last night , i forgot to say dad has got the date for his next op , 20th aug i think , he has also seen palitive care and they are trying him on something new to try and dry his mouth up , only pallitive can prescribe it so hopefully this works for him now .

 Hi Everyone,  Gayle the log cabin sounds fab you are going to have a busy October and not long to Spain either you deserve the brake as you work so hard. Lynne glad to hear your dad got a date for his operation and i do hope it helps him this time. Hope your hand feels better tomorrow.  Helen good luck for tomorrow. Ailsa are you in bed? Judi i hope you enjoy your break away. Lynda hope you got on ok today. Dot i need to be like you and take notes as i read all the post and by the time i go to post i have forgot what everybody is up to.

Well another young mum i know has just been diagnosed with cancer it's all so sad, she has a little girl of seven. You just feel for them as you know what they are having to go through, she had a brother who died with a brain tumour so sad for her mum and dad as well.

Well think i will make to bed if i can get Bud to come in, he is so full of life. Sending you all hugs Fiona xxxxxxxxxxxxx
