Thank you for your cards Jean and Sallie, they arrived in this mornings post.

Cor whats the weather like where you are, it's blessed well cold and wet here, not nice at all. Earlier we had to put the table lamp on, as it came over so dark, it was as if it was evening time already, and it was only lunch time.

Not much news to tell you of, but I just wanted to thank you for the cards, and to let you know we are both keeping our peckers up, despite everything.

Take care all. hugs Mo xxx

Card posted yesterday, hope it's arrived ok

Thank you all for the good wishes. we are now inundated with several lots of flowers and darling daughter added 6 helium balloons ;-) ;-) ;-)so Jeff had to go into reception and bring flowers and balloons up to the flat, so now all the place knows I am not pregnant as one cheeky carer asked :-0 :-0 just celebrating 6o years of wedlock :-D :-D :-D :-D
we are supposed to go out for a meal tomorrow, but the weather forecast isnt too good so its wait and see........snow is forecasted, I try not to do snow ;-) ;-) so its a case of watch this space :-D :-D I am shattered and havent really done anything so bed calls ....nite nite love Jean xxx

Wow the snow is very heavy here so our meal out is cancelled, very pretty looking out but thats all I will be doing ,looking out :-D :-D :-D the schools are closed children in the park with sledges but its very heavy now so most of them have gone home.hope everyone is safe, although it seems its only the north west thats getting the snow, take care anyway.

Love Jean xxx

Oh what a shame about the snow spoiling your meal Jean, but you are far safer indoors rather than outside.
So far we have been very very lucky here, yesterday and today have both been brilliant weather wise, the sun has been out, and it's been lovely.
So nice in fact, that I actually walked up to town, to meet my friend Flo. This is the lovely lady that had to have her nose removed because of getting cancer in it, and this was her first venture into town since before her diagnosis, and her operation.
It was wonderful to be there, to support her. Mind you, I was on guard for any unkind remarks, or nasty comments from people, knowing how some people can be, but it went swimmingly, so much so, that she has agreed to meet me again tomorrow for a coffee. What a breakthrough after over two years of her sitting in the house, doing nothing, and getting really bored.

I forgot to tell you that we had a visit from our lovely Lilly, on Wednesday after school.
She was a bit reluctant to come in at first, but soon was back to her little old self.
It's surprising what little ones pick up on, and she must have sensed the trouble between mummy and daddy.

Must go now girls, take care and stay safe. Hugs Mo xxx

Wow, sorry I have been missing from this thread. We were away from 3rd to the 7th and then all last week the thread didn't make an appearance and I forgot to look for it. I did think of Jean on her anniversary but with being away I forgot to come on with good wishes. I had not realised that there was so much snow up there as down in Hampshire it was dry and sunny....... and very cold.

Jean I hope that you enjoyed your day and that you eventually managed to get out for a meal.

I am pleased that you liked your card.

Hope all is well with you and others who have also not been on here for a while <3 <3

Edited I did know it was your 60th anniversary Jean sorry for that.

Hi there Ann, many thanks for your message on F.B. We are now all sorted thank goodness, just need to run the hoover round, and dust and then we are back to normal.
What a fright we had, seeing all that water on our kitchen floor was a nightmare we wouldn't wish on anybody.
I forgot you was away love, but then my head is way up in cuckoo land recently, what with one thing or another.
Apart from the snow, did you enjoy yourselves whilst you were away ?

I hope everyone is well, as we have missed seeing our friends posting.
Take care girls, hugs Mo xxx

Ann we never got to have the meal out, snow stopped it. our Diamond anniversary.
was bit of a wet rag really, because we had such a traumatic time getting in here and trying to unpack boxes, we didnt tell many folk it was our special day.I have really struggled with walking and must confess got very down.
still am a bit,finding lots of hidden pains and problems due to such a terrible fall , changed our lives completely....still it could have been a lot worse ,I suppose it takes time to get over it, I was very grateful for the hug verse you put in your card,its now my bookmark.....Thank you.....

Mo as I dont do facebook I see you had a problem what happened? you sound as though you got it sorted, reading back I see Sallie hasnt been on here either does anyone know how she and the family are....hope things are getting better for them all....well folks I am going to have another cuppa and watch the soaps
take care everyone love Jean xxx

Sorry Jean, yes zi knew it was your anniversary, I have corrected it now. Sorry too that you have been down, I think a bad fall saps your confidence psychologically as well as the resultant aches and pains. I am sure things will get better and you have your new home in lovely surroundings to enjoy <3 <3

Hello girls,

I'm still here, but not sure about renewing my membership, which is next Tuesday, the 22 nd. still trying to make up my mind.

Mo, hope that things are improving for you, Roly and your family.



Jean, sorry that you and J missed out on your special anniversary meal, because of the snow. Let's hope that you will be able to go for a belated celebration meal very soon.
It sounds as though both you and J have settled into your new home now, after all the hassle you have had.
Hope that D is feeling a lot better now and that things are back to normal for her.


Ann, hope you and T enjoyed your few days away. I can't remember if you visited your grandson and his family so that you could meet your new great-grandson.

Still struggling along with my problems, some days are better than others. Been to see my GP this morning, just, my medication review. I haven't seen him for a long while because of now being under the community mental health team, but the psychiatrist I am under told me that I needed to see my GP before my appointment with him next Wednesday.

My doctor couldn't get over how much weight I have lost, after several questions about how I feel physically, he was very pleased, as I have lost 4 st 8 lbs altogether. Partly from dieting and the antidepressants I am on suppressing my appetite. Depression is now much better, but of course I'm still struggling along with the Borderline Personality Disorder traits that I have, but have been told by the psychiatrist and psychologist that it will take a long time to manage and cope with the illness.

I shall be glad when Alun has had his operation and able to do all the things he won't be able to do for six weeks after.

Christie's nan has terminal throat cancer, and has been given six months at the most
to live. So has she wants her nan to see her and Richard get married, planning to get married very soon, so they are hoping that the wedding will be sometime in the middle of April. As Alun's operation is sometime towards the end of April, he will not be able to drive or do very much at all for six weeks, so we will be into June by then, as they want Alun to be there too, so their plans are all a bit rushed at the moment.
Just hope that all their plans will l work out okay.


Sylvia, Huia and Marie hope you and your families are all okay.


Hope to speak to you all soon, must go now, I have an appointment with Gina, the psychologist I am under at 1.00 pm.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie. xxx <3 <3 <3 <3

Sallie, this is just my opinion, for what it is worth, but I don't think you should give up your membership on here. You do enjoy catching up with people's news and knowing we are caring about you makes you feel a need to come on here i think. It concentrates your mind, giving you an interest. For the amount it costs if you break it down to weeks, it is very little. I am pleased that the depression is improved and wow! that is a great diet loss, give yourself a pat on the back. I hope you have enjoyed buying lots of new clothes. A whole new you i think.

Aluns operation will soon be here and over and the time will pass until he can do things again. Hopefeully some nice weather will hurry it along. And, how exciting, a family wedding to look forward to, although I am sorry to hear about Chirstie's Nan.

Anyway, lovely to hear all your news, keep on coming on here. <3 <3 <3

Oh Jean, we had a nightmare.
On Sunday afternoon we discovered some water on the kitchen floor. Roly thought it was our washing machine, so Monday we put it on, and watched it like hawks, but no leek.
Tuesday there was more water, so our son came down, and he thought it was the dish washer leaking, so we out and bought a new one.
When we got back, after about two hours, the kitchen floor was awash with water.
We called our plumber friend out, and he after much searching discovered that when the people before us, had the kitchen extension built, the water pipes had been laid under the concrete floor, and that one was leaking badly.
Steve said that possibly the whole floor would have to be dug up, including the tiles we had laid.
Fortunately for us, he had a bright idea that if he could get to where the mains water had been laid, he could run new pipes round under the kitchen units.
My grandson had to remove the oven housing, so that they could get to the soil pipe, and where the water pipes were.
Luckily for us, yesterday new pipes were run, and we are now leak free, and with a nice dry floor.
Cor talk about a nightmare. Initially we thought we could claim on the insurance, but when we checked into it, the first £500 was down to us, plus whatever else they charged for.
Our lovely plumber friend, did it for a lot less money than the insurance company would have done, thank the lord.

Please don't go Sallie, we would miss you love. My renewal is due up on the 25th but I shall still be around to plague the life out of you all, you can't get rid of me that easily LOL

I must go. have to get ready for darts now. I send you all my very best wishes, love and hugs Mo xxx

Hope you had a good evening at darts Mo.
