Oh Jac, I have such a picture of you delivering all those tomato plants, would have had a couple had I been closer lol Hope they all grow wonderfully and everyone can eat healthy home grown toms.

Daff, glad you had Jethro to snuggle with when you were low, and hope you will continue to feel stronger and stronger, who else will sort your sisters and Mum out lol

Now I have a little more time to get those plants to you, might have a chance over the weekend to post on Tuesday, you never know your luck!

love and hugs

Morning all....... I am feeling loads better today... and am off out to play with the sister who isn't arguing with anyone, later today.

I am never going to drink that fermented stuff again!! *groans loudly*!!

Jean and J... you are so naughty... they have just arrived, thank you so much, they are beautiful!!

Thank you so much, all of you..... Jac, those hugs were wonderful!! I am back to my usual self now!

My equilibrium has now been restored... my *blip* is over... I think I was so relieved that everything is now ok... but then you get the *but.......* and that just sort of pricks your bubble a bit!! And then you start with the *what if's* which is no good at all, lolol......

Taff... I have some stuff that will do nicely in your new toy... do you want me to send it over?? Two loads of stuff, actually!! ;¬))

BC... did you have a wonderful time in Barcelona? Have you brought me a Matador back???? Or a picador.... don't their bottoms look lovely in those cute little cropped trousers? I do hate bull fighting though!! Moral dilemma that is, isn't it?? I never touched a drop of Rioja yesterday.... or any other nasty stuff, honestly!! *Puts hand on heart*

Liz, I think that is what is wrong, lol.... they all think I can start sorting things out again... wrong!!! I just want to thump them and tell them all to come out of the playground and be grown ups for a while... not very diplomatic, lolol!!

~~~~~~~ to Vods and Maz

Well, let's get ready to play... I am driving to my sister and then we are off to McArthur Glen for a coffee.... and we'll look for a pregnant bush on the way... long story, but some wonderful person suggested I get a shrub or plant that is due to flower next year... and to treat the next 9 months like a pregnancy, lol... Brilliant idea, so I have started my hunt for a pregnant bush, lol!! Watch this space!!

Take care everyone

Love and (((((hugs))))))

Lol Taff....just read that you had got a replacement fumble and was going to congratulate you for some bizarre reason! My eyesight is poor and getting worse but amuses me sometimes:-)

Daff, am so glad you have gotten over your tiny 'blip'...it was bound to happen and now that is that as Bette Davies said...on with the Motley! Ahhhh Barcelona:-) Had the most wonderful time in one of the most beautiful cities. I thoroughly agree about those tight little bottoms one would love to pinch and.....*looks round and *whispers...I do enjoy a bullfight but don't tell anyone. Have put your present together with Hayley's which she hasnt bothered opening yet..tsk tsk....

Hope you thoroughly enjoy your day and your search for the pregnant bush...love it! lol BC XXX

Hi Daff,
I haven't posted on this thread before and until I read your letter to GR, I knew nothing of your situation. However, I think you have a wonderful attitude to it and that is half the battle.

I already feel that I have joined the others in pulling for you over the next few months and hope you keep up the positive outlook. Best of luck.

Afternoon Daffers and everyone:

gla\d to hear you are feeling more like yourself Daff! Minor blips are allowed, as long as that's all they are - minor! )))

I have just spent 6 hours (yes 6 hours) in Dunelm, with a friend who needed some curtains. 6 hours to choose some curtains (cream) must be some kind of record eh??? Sheesh.......I think I'm picky but she takes the biscuit - lol

I am truely knackered!!

I am intrigued as to what constitutes a pregnant bush! please advise a.s.a.p. cos I might have to put some of mine on the Pill or something! I dont want any more bushes!

Hope you have had a lovely day with your sister - take care


Bi for now

Hello everyone... had a lovely day, and got back about 8.30pm...

Hello Berona.... this thread, and it's predecessors, have been my lifeline, and the main reason I have giggled and laughed my way through some fairly unpleasant treatment, lol...... so folk on here have a lot to answer for... the nurses reckoned I was nuts, lolol!! ;¬)) Thank you for your well wishes... hopefully, the worst of the treatment is over... it is just a case of sitting tight and waiting to see!!

A preggers bush??? Well, it is an ordinary bush or flower that is not due to flower until next year.... sort of when my vulnerable time was over, lol.... sort of like a pregnancy... and me being me, put the plant and the pregnancy together in a flight of fancy... and ended up with my pregnant shrub... which I still haven't got yet!! I saw LOADS that I would like... but will wait until I have seen the garden take shape... it will go in my GR bit of garden!!

Jac... I'd need the smelling salts... 6 hours? I thought I was bad enough with 2 1/2 and that included two comfort visits and a cappuchino, lol!! If your friend asks you again... well, just hide, lol!!

BC..... My DiL has a brother in Madrid...... she pops off to the bullfight every time she goes over there... but her Spanish SiL absolutely hates it!! I just like looking at the derrieres, lol..... ;¬)) That's the best bit about Rugby too, lolol.

Taff, I will never be able to look at a tumble dryer without thinking that now!! I could end up being dragged out of Curry's by the men in white coats cos of hysterics in the white goods department... lolol.

Hiya Susan......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~! and Maz ~~~~~~ did you get into the garden, after?

Mau, it was just one of those things... I've had a couple of *down* times, but not a good cry, so it has probably done me the world of good!! Released all those *good* hormones and endorphins and stuff..... so that should be me sorted for a few months yet, lol!

Jean, I'll keep J in my prayers.... and my thoughts... you too, it's often more difficult for those standing by and watching. What day does he have his op next week?

Well, off to bed now... I am off for a trip to Cribbs Causeway in Bristol tomorrow with my sister, her daughter and the daughter of another sister.... sounds complicated, lol.... but isn't really.... I will get spoiled by the girls... and they'll get spoiled by me, perfect!! The younger girl has never been on a shopping trip with us before.... and her mum hates it, so hopefully she will have a really good time with us. I just love to watch the expression on the 20 year old's face when I show her something hideous, saying *this is lovely, it'll look fabulous on you* lololol!! I hope the 15 year old realises it's all a game!!

Night night all... must go and get my beauty sleep!!

Love and ((((((((hugs))))))))

Jac, your friend sounds like my o.h. - he is the biggest ditherer in the world, well in Norfolk anyway lol I do hope your friend likes her curtains and doesn't decide to go back and change them. I am looking forward to Dunelm opening here this summer, never found the time to go in to the one near Llanelli so was chuffed to little mintballs to read that we are getting one here.

Wish they would give us an Ikea too, it's too far to go to browse lol

Daff, you take things easy lady, stop dashing about quite so much and pace yourself so you don't get anymore blips. I bet you will tease those poor girls something rotten tho, poor things. Enjoy youself.

Morning Daff and all:-) Cloudy here this morning but I am waiting for the promised sunshine with great excitement! Not that I like extreme heat, but good weather seems to cheer people up doesnt it. Off to the park with doggie and then shall show my face in work. The Dragon is fading fast but as she is entertaining a young man from Brazil over the weekend, that should perk her up. The fact that he is after her money is neither here nor there:-) lol,

Now, Daff, dont overdo it but hope you enjoy your day.

Morning all... have to go to the nurse and have my BP checked first, sister is arriving about 11... now the last time I went shopping with 20 year old niece and my sister was for an outfit for that posh wedding in August last year... and because I was so knackered then, niece identified every coffee shop along the way for me, lol, and made me sit at each one, steaming hot cup in hot sticky hand,while she went on and did a recce of all the outfits that she would allow me to be seen in, lol... she is pretty good, too... now this younger niece has a much more vibrant taste in clothes... lets see what the result is, shall we? But I will certainly take lots of refuelling stops, I promise!

It is cloudy here, too, but the sun is shining through... I do so hope the weather is fine in Ross on Wye as well... that is where Hunky Gardener should be finishing his last job, today.....

I will too stop the fermenting stuff Jude... well, until the next time, lolol My main problem is that two small glasses and I am three sheets to the wind.... a lot less than it used to take!! So it is judging the amount that makes my legs go to jelly and gives me a headache in the morning.... now that is what I have to work out!

Well... must go... have to find a matching pair of socks (R washes but doesn't go as far as pairing up socks, lol... and then granddaughter had great fun sharing said socks with every drawer in the house... very helpful, lol!!) And then find where I took my boots off.... then my car keys, and sunglasses... oh, and best dig out my mobile too.... mayhem!!

Take care and have a lovely day!!

Love and ((((((((hugs))))))))
