Jo,
How strange they had been opened. Is it possible it is the glue that is not sticking?

Morning, well what a lovely morning it is today. Brilliant sunshine and a really heavy frost, just what I like!!!! Hope you are all keeping nice and warm.

Mandy thank you for the lovely card. At least it arrived unopened!! Have received 3 cards in the last fortnight that had been opened, obviously someone thought they contained something!! going to sellotape all mine down.
Off now to get one with the rest of my Christmas cards, will get them done before Christmas Eve.....

Sylvia, hope your mouth is better soon.

Mandy in Wilts, thank you for your card.

Hi all,
Johan and I went to the Garden Center today and bought our Xmas tree. We have done this in case he is not able to do much soon. I bought one or two odds and ends for making my front door arrangement and an Advent's wreath.
Very cold here and windy. I have some special jelly to rub inside my mouth because it is swollen - reaction to my anti bacterial cure. See you tomorrow

Evening all, yes it is a pity Margaret is leaving the group, hope things improve for her very soon.

Well I have finally made some Christmas cards, still have another 30 to make, still half way there.

Sylvia thanks for your lovely card. Hope things go well for Johan at the cardiologist so that he can have his surgery. Glad to hear that the new tablets are working, pity they have upset you mouth.

Well it is cold here again today but no snow, pity as I love the snow!!

Off now to write the cards I have made, find that takes as long as making them does.

You are welcome Sylvia

Hi all,
I have made more than 100 Xmas cards and not one the same. I think I make them in my sleep now.
Yes, it is a terrible shame that Margaret should have to leave us, but who knows what the New Year will bring her.
Johan went to the urologist today and he wanted to operate on him next week, but first of all Johan has to visit the cardiologist - we have an appointment with him, the both of us, next Tuesday. He now has a new appointment for the op and that is 16th December. Just before Xmas!
My new antibacterial tablets seem to be working, although causing me trouble with my tongue/mouth and very sore/painful to eat and drink, especially anything spicy. Cure one thing, create another.
Thank you Ann, Glos for your pretty card received today.

Have got your lovely one , Sylvia -thank you very much , Ros xx

Thank you also Ros for your pretty card. Hope you have got mine by now.
What a pity Margaret has to drop out. I am sure you will all have read her e-mail by now.
I have sent 32 Xmas cards, but certainly do not expect 32 back. I like making cards and I like sending them.
Dreadful weather here today, lots of sleat and snow and cold, brrh, brrh.

Hi all,
Well I had my first two Xmas cards today. One from a birthday girl and one from another cyber friend. All very early, but "better early than late".
Snow has almost disappeared so shall venture out on my scootmobile tomorrow. Must look around for Xmas presents. My daughter is going to have her foot in plaster on Thursday so won't be able to help very much. She has a party at Center Parcs tonight as Center Parcs is ...... years old. Her partner is not allowed to go. Janet has just come back from London with the grandchildren and now tonight in Center Parcs to sleep.
We still don't know what we are doing for Xmas. Maybe to Eindhoven to our daughter or just at home. Also depends on both Johan and my health.
See you all tomorrow.

Evening ladies, sorry have not been around much lately, with one thing or another. Hopefully now will have some time for myself and start to do my Christmas cards!!! I know, I am very late with them and hopefully will get them all finished!!! Will need to come up with something very simple I can see. Have lots of family birthday cards due in the first week in December as well, daughter, granddaughter, daughter in law, brother and sister, also brother and sister in law!!!



Kids took OH to Centre Parcs for his birthday for a long weekend, we had a lovely time plenty of snow and very cold! Grandkids loved it.



Sylvia, so sorry to see that your holiday in the warm was cancelled. I really hope that Johan is feeling a little better and that his own doctor manages to get him sorted out. Hope you are managing OK and that you are not too disappointed.

Hope everyone is keeping nice and warm!!

Hi all,
Well it is a good thing we cancelled our holiday as I had to get the doctor in today to Johan. I went myself to have a bladder rinse and when I came back Johan was in terrible pain and asked me to get the emergency doctor. I did and his bladder was so full that the doctor emptied it and put a catheter in for him. Tomorrow he has to see our own doctor. Johan doesn't have the pain any more but now to know what was the cause of it.
We think it is his prostate gland.The house is all topsy turvy again, suitcases lying around, coat hangers in abundance and piles of clothes. These were all going to Spain but must put them back in the cupboard.
I think you will all get your Xmas cards extra early!
See you tomorrow.
Sylvia xxx

just written all my 7 cards for my group and started writing others too tonight as they are all made-I think !!!

Sylvia. sorry to hear that Johan is unwell and also sorry that you will not get the holiday you were looking forward to.

Hi all,
Just a quick one. I am not going on holiday after all as Johan is not well. I am not really surprised I suppose. I phoned the grandchildren and daughter this morning and they were tucking into a good
English breakfast which they all enjoy and were going to do a sightseeing tour of London.
See you tomorrow.
