This is for anyone who can't keep on the topic. It's hard not to stray, but if we have 'no specific topic ' we can't go off topic.
It is good just to be able to wander and talk about other things.
I could have named it 'Waffle'. Then I couldn't go off topic.
Oops David2017
hope everyone is doing well . Been busy trying to keep OH calm as it’s coming up to THAT time again . Bloods / oncologist .
the man says “I don’t get stressed “ but by gums he’s taking tightening in his chest ( BP & pulse is ok ) . So a trip to our own GP today and hopefully she will kick his proverbial butt .
He’s still doing at least 12k in the morning and hitting the gym in the afternoon . Can you slow down a bit . “ Erm no, if I stop . I won’t start again “
so asked politely to have a day off tomorrow as it’s our 53rd wedding anniversary . “Well I can still walk in the morning as I’m out at 7 “
How on earth do I ask a 74 yr old to slow down a bit. ANY suggestion will be appreciated.
hugs to everyone on the naughty step or not
Liz & OH xx
Shackle him to the bedpost whilst he is asleep - that will put me on the naughty step for inappropriate comments but everyone in the know with hormone therapy produces limitations.
53 years is a real milestone so CONGRATULATIONS to you both. If he doesn't buy you anything then go out and treat yourself - you deserve it. I don't think much of the gift list for 53 - plastic -UGHHH but pink is another suggestion and hubby's immediate comment was something lacy in the underwear department. At least he still takes an interest.
Good Afternoon David (David2017)
It's not me honest - some posts are selected if you use certain words or if you have links in them - I've also been on the naughty step so you are in good company.
Kind Regards- Brian.
