Well it shows you what sort of day i have had. Going back threw the years as you do some times

When i was a lot younger, and a lot of you will not remember the show, i was on the tv, black and white in those days.

It was called Take your Pick,, Michael Miles, Take the Money or open the Box, i should have taken the Money, i opened the Box and got a rubbish prise.

Nearer to home, i always listen to the radio, and phoned up a talk show last Sunday, as they had a Professor on, Cancer expert and was talking regarding having these one stop hubs about.

My next door neighbour  got an invite for one, no symptoms or anything, he said a day out, he got diagnosis  with lung cancer,

Last year my daughter had a problem with her breast, some thing was not right, trying to get in because of lockdown took her three weeks, and the nurse said you have no lumps, so what do you want me to do, Refer me was her answer, went and diagnosed straight away, and was told if you had to wait, for your first mammogram, it would have been to late, She is still not due for her first mammogram that is November time,

 

Though she has had them since she was diagnosed after a mastectomy , Hence why i phoned up.

Have a good day Ellie x

  • Hi Ellie, Yes I remember that show too but I thought it was Hughie Green who did it! I wonder which box you opened.......did you get the chance to open Box 13?

    Have a good weekend everyone and I hope it is warmer where you are. It is -6 here tonight!

    Love Annette x

    Wasnt that Monica ‘ ill hive it 5’ on with him pr was that hugjie green? Good memorie!

    do you do teadings Rllie?

  • Sorry Annette but Ellie and co are correct, it was Michael Miles who presented it, then it was off for a few years until it was reintroduced with Des O'Connor as host. Hughie Green did present a game show along with the delightful Monica Rose. Said show was called Double Your Money. 

    I'm a little younger than you Annette and you're stretching my memory somewhat. I can remember that my mum and dad were avid watchers along with my brother and me in a smoke filled room. When I was diagnosed with MDS in March 2015, I did a lot of research. One fact I discovered was that some who contracted it may have been exposed to benzene or other chemicals including those in second hand smoke. When I think back, my parents used to get through 40 a day which sadly wasn't uncommon in the 50s and 60s. 

    Just saying.

    Take care and stay safe Annette

    I am not offended, I did like it. Hit or miss with a klaxon denoting a miss?

  • That's it. I preferred Ready Steady Go though. I thought David Jacobs was a bit oily.    Rainie x
