Jean, we had our little one yesterday. She is getting so big now, that like you, I cannot pick her up and carry her, I have to be sitting down for our cuddles etc.
She gave me a lovely present yesterday, whilst we were havinf a cuddle moment, she pointed to my hand and said" Bogey Nanny" cheeky monkey had picked her nose and wiped it on my hand, oooh yuk, needless to say she did get told off, but I had to chuckle to myself to think she would want to share it with me. ;-) ;-) ;-)
She is now a real handful, and wants to know whats what, and the word why keeps coming into the conversation, cooo I was exhausted by the time she went home.

I hope that Joyce has had a better day today again. Onwards and upwards Joyce.

Take care everyone, hugs Mo xxx

Hi Mo, and everyone


The weather has been very pleasant here for the last several days ................. sunny, about 18C. But i gather we have the first of the autumnal storms coming through late tomorrow. I need to find out my sou'wester and wellies


I've been feeling off-colour for a couple of days ................ sort of nauseous and a bit of a tummy upset. I thought I was over it today, I felt great ................. until about 2 hours after I'd had my lunch. :-(


We were supposed to go out this evening, but I have called off, and OH is going to go to the reception by himself.

I suppose I've got to look carefully at what I had for lunch ................ which did not contain anything that I haven't been eating without any problems for months :-S



Take care everyone

Hi girls, just a quick look in, haven't had time to read back yet, so will try to over the next couple of days.


I have had to get another laptop, didn't want to spend too much money so luckily one of Alun's work mates daughter was selling her's, so that she could buy an iPad..... so it's worked out well for the both of us.


Sylvia, shame that you had to miss your evening out, but hope that you are feeling a lot better today.


Will try and speak to you all tomorrow.


Take care.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello ladies,
I am sorry I forgot to add the sad news that I received from our old friend Marilyn.
She contacted me via a p.m, to ask me to let her friends know, that unfortunately she is unable to get on her puter very often at the moment, due to her having ovarian cancer.
Bless her she is very poorly at the moment, and can't sit for very long on here, suffering so much pain.
Please join me in sending her our very best wishes, and loads of ((((((((HUGS)))))))
for a speedy recovery from this blasted disease.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 FOR OUR MARILYN. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I hope you are all well.
It was good to see you posting Sallie, and I hope you are managing with the new laptop.

Take care my friends, love and hugs to you all. Mo xxx

So sorry to hear the very sad news about Marilyn. If you do get on here Marilyn we are all thinking of you and wishing you well. What a truly awful disease the is.

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 for Maralyn.

Sending healing prayers for Marilyn, its hard to hear of this, my 42 year goddaughter has just had a masectomy and reconstruction done two days ago, how evil Cancer. is.....so lots of love and prayers to everyone involved in this traumatic time...

love Jean xx <3 <3

Thoughts to your goddaughter too Jean

Hello ladies,

Mo thanks for letting us know about Marilyn. I had read about her on the Friendly thread and replied to you on there. Let's hope and pray that the treatment will be successful and that she will make a good recovery.

It looks as though you have had a lovely time with Lillie over the last couple of days. She is at such a lovely and interesting age now, just love what they say and do.

Have you had your follow up appointment at the hospital yet,Mo? It seems a good while since you went for your scan.


Jean. like Mo, both you and Jeff have had a lovely time with having littlie visit you. I smiled, thinking that the most simple of things like tearing up paper can keep them amused for a good while. Bless him.

Thank you for your pm, I haven't had a chance to look at the pics yet, but will look at them when I finish posting on here.

My craft room is slowly coming to shape, I still have to find somwhere to store my dies, not sure the best and easiest way to store them all. I have bought quite a few new Marianne dies again lately along with some metallic plates, so must get them organised.lol!!!



Ann, your holiday seems to have gone by quickly......hope you and T will have a good and safe journey home.


Pleased with my laptop, it's a Toshiba and I did well to get it for a £100. I'm pleased that at last I can now get the emoticons on this one :-D :-D :-D.... it's a long time since I could get them on my old laptop.



Sylvia, hope that you are feeling a lot better today.


Huia and Marie I hope that both you and your families are all okay.



Will say goodnight to you all now.


Take care everyone.


Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Just saying a quick hello to everyone, hope that you are all okay.

Not such a nice day here today, it's dull and cloudy, yesterday was bright and sunny and fairly warm.

No news at the moment, so will speak to you all later.

Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Sallie love, I have just received my next appointment for the specialist, it's for the 25th of October. At least with it being so far ahead, I am hoping and praying the cyst has not grown, or they would have had me in sooner. Phew relief.
But I do have to see a breast specialist, as I now have a cyst in the breast. My doctor gave me a course of anti-biotics, to hoprfully get rid of it, but on seeing him today, he is not happy that it hasn't gone completely, so wants me to see someone.
I am not to worried about it, as he has told me he doesn't think it's anything nasty lurking there.

I have not heard anymore from Marilyn, so I am praying that no news is good news.

Jean, I am sending healing wishes for your godaughter, and praying for her.
I hope you are both well my love. xxx

Ann, you must be due back very soon now, so enjoy whatever time you have left of your hols, and don't come back to tanned, or the family may not recognise you, especially the new baby.

Sylvia, I hope you are feeling better now, after your bad tummy upset. I hope you didn't get swept away with the storms you were due to have. lol

I wonder if Marie has started her packing in readiness for her move. I bet the removal firm will turn up, and pack her in the van with all her worldy chattels (sp)

Well my lovelies, I have had my toorh crowned today, and my pearlies are looking wonderful. I am going to smile at everyone I meet tomorrow, just to show it off, :-D :-D :-D thats me showing you my lovely gnashers.

Must go now, take care everyone, hugs Mo xxx

Thanks for the good wishes for Sue, everything went well and she is coming home tonight, cant believe it , they dont half ship em out quickly, still she seems ok she is one very positive lady , and even had a showe r two days after the op....her consultant said it was a very good reconstruction, done by a lady surgeon....she has to go back to sort out the next course of treatment,but the worst appears to be over......

Mo, pleased that you have had your appointment through for the result of your scan. Like you said, if the cyst had grown and they thought there was problem, then I'm sure that they would have seen you well before now.

Let's hope that it won't be too long before you get an appointment through to see the breast specialist and that it is nothing to worry about. What shall we do with you Mo.lol!!!

Hope that you hear from Marilyn soon, hope and pray that she will make a good recovery.

I think that Ann is due home tomorrow, I'm sure that her and T have been away
a month, but of course I might be wrong.lol!!!




Jean, sorry I didn't realise that your goddaughter had had a mastectomy and a reconstruction......I hope that she will make a complete recovery. Sending her lots of positive thoughts.

Hope that you and J can get into Llandudno for a week or so, the change will do you both the world of good.

I'm sure you feel a lot better for having your hair done. I only have mine cut, but feel so much better when it's done. I'm hoping to have mine trimmed on Thursday, while I'm in Derby....the girl that cuts my hair for me goes on holiday in two weeks time, so thought I had better have it trimmed before she goes.



Sylvia, as I said on Shaun's thread, you are going to have a busy time with all your visitors next week....it will be lovely to see them all, especially littlie.



Marie and Huia, I hope that you and your families are all okay. It seems a while since we last heard from you both.



Well, I need a cuppa now so had better go and make one.lol!!


Speak to you all later.



Love, Sallie.xxx

I haven't been chatting on the boards very much, I go through spells when I read threads but just don't add to them. I have also had a nasty cold which has really flattened me. I spent several days just lying on the settee sleeping all morning and most of the afternoon, although I did make sure I drank lots of water. I am not completely over it yet, but I should be next week. You will hear my screams if I am still coughing and blowing my nose then. This weather doesn't help. There has been steady rain for quite a few days now. I think I will go to town today to wander around, just to get out of the house. Last Saturday I was stir-crazy from being stuck in the house on my own with the cold.

Hi Mo, and everyone

Thank you for the good wishes ................... I think I am finally back to almost normal. Several different things went wrong one after the other, and each one took time to get better!


Mo ..... thank you for letting us know about Marilyn. I've only spoken to her occasionally, but one never wants to hear about ovarian cancer.


Jean ....... best wishes to your goddaughter


Mo ........... hope the cyst continues to be nothing. xx


I'm going to be at sixes and sevens for the next 10 days or so.

I have no idea when I will be able to get on here.

Sis-i-l arrives about 8 pm this evening, goes for her test tomorrow, then leaves on Friday morning

We then have to set the room up for daughter and grandson, whose plane arrives at 11:30 pm that evening

Other friends arrive at about 11:30 pm Saturday evening ............. so we have to set up the hide-a-bed in this room, where I have the computer.

They'll leave after lunch on Sunday

Daughter and grandson leave on Friday evening next week.


sooooooooooooooooooooooooo .........................


if you sees me, you sees me :-D :-D :-D



don't worry!



take care everyone

A couple of nights ago the power went out, just before a TV programme that I had wanted to watch. :-| I spent a couple of hours or so reading by torchlight then went to bed. Yesterday afternoon after I had been to town I decided to go up our road to the top of the hill to see if I could see what had caused the power outage. Just a very short distance up the road from our place, I found that a couple of huge pine trees that had been growing on the bank had come down and taken 2 of the 3 power lines out. I took lots of photos (now on FB).

Today the linesmen came to repair the lines and I took lots of photos of them at work. At least they didn't turn our power off while they did it. :-)

Sylvia, it sounds like you are going to be really busy for a while, but I know full well that you will enjoy the company, especially little man coming to see you. It's been ages since you last saw him isn't it. At least you will have young one for a week, to shower him with love and hugs.
Will you be travelling to visit them at christmas this year?

Oh my giddy aunt, whats happening on here. I lost my posting, then found that it had posted three times on here. Let me try again shall I.

Huia, I hope you are feeling better now my love.
I shall have to pop onto FB, and take a look at your photo's.
Had the pine trees been loostened by all the rain you had, do you think. Very inconvenient losing the power like that, but thats nature for you isn't it.

I can't believe it's only 6.45 and we will have to put the lights on in a minute, it's getting dark so early now. A sure sign that the winter is almost on us, but it has been very warm here today, so unusual for this time of year.

Must go now girls, time to get ready for darts.
Take care of yourselves one and all. Love Mo xxx

Hello folks, Sylvia, you will have some fun with your littlie I am sure, we have just seen a video S took on his phone of our C and I have never seen such a little one laugh as much as he did, we roared with laughter, his daddy was doing something with a cushion it seems and C thought it hilarious , he couldnt stop laughing, which set us off too....
Guess who is going on her hols in October, MEEEEEEEEEEE and him,back to Llandudno different place , but so looking forward to it.... just need an Indian summer to round the year off...

hope you are all well,,,,,. Sallie I tried the new cutter and its fantastic, although you do need a lot of room, but no turning of handles...we went to Range and there were no dies at all.
which was a surprise, so it looks like I may have to go to the craft shop in Llandudno.... :-D :-D :-D
by for now love and hugs, Jean xxx <3 <3

Hi girls,

Jean you made me laugh when you said that you would have to go to Craftland in Llandudno after all.lol!!! I'm sure that J will lbe really chuffed about that, as would Alun. I don't think.lolol!!! Is Craftland very far from where you are staying?

We have been to Derby today, Alun bought himself a new pair of casual trousers. Had a nice few hours out and had our lunch there too. I didn't buy very much today, just a few bits from one of the craft shops, there.

Jean, I know that the Range doesn't stock many dies at all...... HobbyCraft is a bit better than the Range, they also stock the Stephanie Weightman dies, which are nice.
There will be no stopping you now that you have your new cutter.....sure it is much easier than turning a handle.lol!!!

Mo, are you playing in a team tonight or with just you and your friend. Whichever, I hope you will win .....sending you lots of vibes and positive thoughts for tonight.

As you said Mo, you can tell we re heading towards winter now......it seems we are having to put the lights on a bit earlier each evening. Around this area, we have two Fairs in October, next Thursday it is the Nottingham Goose Fair and two weeks after that we have the Ilkeston Fair. With the Ilkeston Fair most of the town centre is closed off for five days because the rides and the stalls are set up on the market place and quite a few of the streets.
Having the two fairs is a sure sign that we are almost into winter and Chritmas isn't far away too.



Huia, I hope that your power is all sorted now and that you won't have anymore trouble with it.
I'll have a look at your photos when I have finished on GR, I'm sure that they are interesting to look at.


Sylvia, hope that your SiL have arrived safely and that all will go well at the hospital for her.



Ann, I am wondering if you and T are home yet. If so, hope that you had a good journey.



Marie, hope that you and your family are all okay as we haven't heard from you for a while.




Well, as usual I am now going to have my usual cuppa....if they took tea off the market I don't know how I would manage without it, as I don't like coffee, I'd really be stuck.lolol!!



Will speak to you all tomorrow.



Take care everyone.



Love, Sallie.xxx
