Morning Gerri congrats on the wins.
Good luck at the Dr's today.

Lol, yes, I get it!!!

Morning Rose, hope you have a brillliant day at the market and don't get rained off like your last one, finger's crossed you come home happy having sold out completely, then you'll be busy with those needles again. Good luck for today Rose.

Morning Lynn, oh dear, not a good night for you then, you must feel like c*ap today, but hopefully, when everything is done this morning, you can have a nice relaxing afternoon I hope.

Morning Bev, pity you can't go with Jenny on her wedding outfit quest but I'm sure you'll find something that's just right for you. Dresses are so "in" atm, there's bound to be something you like and that likes you (that's the important bit with a dress isn't it, some can make you look mumsy or fat lol!) Sorry to hear about Lily, and that's just what I get with Zena with her IBS, but hopefully the Zantac will resolve it.

Morning Linda, oh dear, poor Carys, hope it's nothing you need to take her to the doctor's for and that she gets better as the day goes on.

Morning Jenny, oh I do hope he gets the job, afterall, he can explain away that moustache can't he, it might give them a good laugh, so they'll know he has a soh like his mum What is this Movember cos it rings a bell with me somehow Hope you find the right dress, today might be the day Jen! Have you tried Coast in Debenhams yet? They have some really gorgeous dresses for special occassions and they're classic, never go out of fashion. I still have a red satin one that I've not yet worn I've told Dave he can bury me in it when the time comes, at least I'll look good on my arrival

Morning Gerry, and lol, you don't have to justify your win there for Taz, he's always winning, no matter how many in his class. You do make me laugh with the way you get stuck in on those jobs that the men should be doing, you're a bit like me there Gerry Good luck with the doc's about the thyroid too.

You rant away there Lynn, at least it's sorted now, she can't dictate to him as much as she would like

Well, just done my hour in the woods, and I shall do the same again lunchtime. Funny how the sun comes out when I get back, but it was cloudy on my walk, but at least we saw nobody, no free running lunatic dogs running up to us, which has gotta be a bonus. Yesterday lunchtime, I had a staffie type terrier come hurfing up behind Zena as we got into the horse's field. She gave chase, but it outran her, and as she came zooming past me about an inch behind it, luckily I had her ball, so took her mind off the dog and she stopped the chase. Owner nowhere in sight of course I called out "bdooly people want to take control of their dogs in here" Of course, had she attacked it, it would have been HER fault cos the dog was "only trying to be friendly" Yeah, well it needs to learn some manners and Zena would be the one to teach it lol!

MALKA, I was so sorry to hear about your poor little Pereg again, and I hope you're coping admirably as you always have. All the best for her and yourself.xxxx

Off to make a phone call about an enquiry for the van, then I'm hitting the shops, just cos I'm in the mood. It's our 32nd or maybe it's the 33rd anniversary on the 10th July so you never know, Dave might want to go out for a meal, so I will need a new dress too! I don't like to be left out ya know.

Now if this thread is 10 pages long by lunchtime again, I'll have no chance

Morning all. Looks like its going to be a lovely sunny day here today.
Hope your "gut instinct" proves wrong Helena. Sounds intriguing about DAVE. Good luck with his neck scan.
I hate having to look for a posh frock as well. I don't do posh!! So hope you both find something today. It's cutting it a bit fine now isn't it.
It's hard on the children when parents who split up can't / won't agree on their care. Good on Mark for fighting to get access.
Good luck at the Market Rosebud. Hope you sell everything.

OH is going to town this morning to meet the local press for a photo shoot about that plaque he has been organising to get repaired on the old TA hall. I'm just nipping to town for a few bits so nothing exiting on here again. My leg is much better this morning. I still have a bit of trouble going upstairs - it feels as though its going to give way if I put any weight on it but compared to weekend I can live with it.
Have a lovely day everyone

Good morning,
Hope everyone is o.k, any news from Malka?
H, that is a worry!!hopefully it'll be sorted. Looks like we're having a lovely day talk soon xx

Good morning all from sunny (err I mean sweaty) Cyprus. You are all early birds today! We are back from the luvverly lake, muttley been showered and is chomping on a froz. chick. wing. I've packed a huge bag and am going down to the pool for a good few hours. Have packed a ton of assorted drinks, Kindle, sunlotion and even pumped up an inflatable to doss about on the water down there.

It's the same in the UK - pay for initial specialist appointments or any scans etc will get you along quicker. Here in Cyp I pay for everything but it's nowhere near as expensive as in the UK. Regarding your 'protection' - if you want 'washable' stuff - can't you just get terry nappies and rubber pants like for babies whose mums don't want disposable (but of course in bigger size?)
Good luck today with the work stuff Rosebud. Your constant descriptions of the weather, the zillions of bitey things, the natives, health provision et al has me now decided that I am not so keen to visit the land of my forefathers after all! I detest bad weather and detest midges, mozzies and any other 'flying entymological species' that bite or sting! I am one of those skin/blood types they are very attracted to. And lots of bites is misery.

Sorry to hear about Lily. As for dress hunting - come and sit on the step with all the others of us here who don't really 'do' formal dresses and have hell finding them!

Custody and access stuff is horrible. It's the kids that suffer when stupid parents use them as bargaining tools or weapons to make the absent parent 'suffer'.

Sorry to hear your little girl isn't well. My little girl texted me yesterday to say 'mummy I am poorly' (just that - no elaboration) turns out she didn't get home until 2.30am the day before and had jammed her toe under her bathroom door - oh my 'little girl' is 25yrs old!

Heartstopping when your 'kids' are going for interviews isn't it? I think it's worse than when it's yourself! Good luck to him and shame about the tash - I believe facial hair has been proven to reduce chances at interview (along with a lot of other things like ginger hair, short stature, strong local accents, etc.) He can explain to them it's for his 'hobby' though. Having a hobby is a big plus point (as long as it is not an extreme or dangerous sport!)

congrats to Taz!
Good luck to you at the docs.
Leylandii - argh. I don't envy you trying to cut it down a bit - I hate the things anyway. They've even introduced them over here.
AGMs - yuk
Committees -yuk

My 'frozen shoulder' is a bit better today and I'm being careful with it. Well I am about to hoik my shedload of stuff to the pool now and remain there until I see my legs have turned 2 shades darker! I am NOT wearing tights for the wedding. No way. Hate the things.

*Lovely neighbours below are here again and have said if I can hear banging and sawing it's because he is making me ANOTHER FLY SCREEN! Woo hoo! Doin' the happy dance! Lucky me!

Enjoy your swim Mrs Pat.Easy little roll exercises on that shoulder( know what that's like) ouch xx

Roll exercises? Explain yerself woman!

Realised Helena got left off my latest multi quote hash up.

Helena - no clue what you are bothered about but any evil money worries are misery. So I hope it turns out to be unfounded worry for you.

Glad to hear just about everything else is going well. Seems none of us can have everything right all the time. Why's that dagnammit?

The only thorn in my side today is the infamous Moneth - we had a 'meeting in the lift'. Ain't even worth updating you on this stupid woman's latest verbal garbage. If anything changes I will let you know!

Morninggggg!!
Bev I know what you mean about not being a dress person, neither am I. It's hubby birthday Sat and we are having a special party (75) I cannot find anything suitable to wear, even on line. I have sent so much back. Today I have relented and I am waiting for the delivery of a linen skirt. If that is wrong then it is back to black trousers and jazzy top.

My Granddaughter got her BA yesterday So we are going to combine her celebrations with hubbys birthday.
I must get on, lots to do today especially making 2 cakes!!
Thanks for the special mention Norma You are forgiven now
Hope you all have a good day and enjoy the sunshine!

Little backward circle movements in your shoulder helps. I ended up getting cortisone injections in mine Touch wood no bother now xx
