Well at least the chemist has received your prescription Mandy, but it's a shame there's no delivery now till after easter. Plan B sounds good to get some D and iron ones that will give you a headstart and you might start to feel a difference after a few days.

I used to find those kneelers good Mel. I can't kneel at all now, too painful even on a cushion. If I manage to get down sideways, the only way I can get up is to roll on my tummy, put a hand each side of my face and push upwards as I walk straight legs towards my face with my btm in the air!! Whenever they come to fix something with SKY they pull all of the cables out of the trunking I have carefully put them all in and it's a right fiddle near the floor to get them all back again, so I too have cable sphaggetti till I can face putting them back!

OH rang the garage to book his car in for the latest updates they sent him a letter about and they asked his mileage, and, as he had done over 12,000 miles now they said it didn't need doing. How does that work I wonder? OH never asks as many questions as me and was just glad we hadn't got to take his car in.

All I've done this afternoon is add a few more bits to my family tree,

Ihave to bend from the waist othewise if I bend to my kneesss I can't get up. I havee oe o ne of those seat kneelersss whhich goooogood cosu can push yoursself up on the sde isbitsts



Give up

Well I rang boots about my prescription and she said yes it came through this morning but they have to order the items and they are not having an order in tomorrow so it will be Tuesday before the order comes .
They are not open Saturday as they haven't got a pharmacist in .
She said she could take if back to the spine so I could try somewhere else but it means if somewhere else haven't got the items by the time I take it back into boots and they order it it could be Wednesday by the time it comes in so I left it for hopefully Tuesday.
In the mean time if I can get into boots tomorrow I'll get some vitamin d and iron tablets off the shelf which will hopefully help until I get the prescription .

Look for Ferrari Anng.

My typing is coming out all wrong again someetimes. See what I mean!

My problem Mel is not getting down it is getting up again.

I forgot to mention that in the garden centre I looked for Dwarf French beans. They had at least nine varieties but not a sign of a packet of Safari. so, unless I can get to one of the other garden centres sometime I am going to have to order on line. I can do that but the quantity is huge in some cases.

I woldt y again

Iv'e got some like that Anng. I tried to clean round it this morning but it dos'nt look any better.

Its been raining here nearly all morning I just got back to the house in time this morning after feeding the girls as the moment I stepped onto the patio under cover it started with heavy rain.
I have hoovered the kitchen and dusted all my desk and the telly and other bits. Had the small filing cabinet out next to my desk as I dropped something down the back. Well tthat started another lot of cleaning I had HUGE cobwebs all down the back of the cabinet and behind my desk which has never been out since he put it here in the corner years and years ago. I do my best to get under it but it is getting harder to get down there now.

Had a nice visit to a Jane's Pantry (I think that might be a local chain) restaurant that has been built on the edge of a huge new development of houses. I had not been there before but the coffee was good and the toasted tea cakes were lovely very big.

I was taken out by my friend Jean (Tony's late golf partner's wife, older than me) and her daughter who drove us and insisted on buying coffee and tea cake. Then on to a garden centre where I bought a few plants and a bag of compost which Karen put into the garage for me. When Jake eventually comes he can move the bag round to the back for me. I also bought a purple Polemonium with money daughter sent me for Easter, two miniature dianthus and a different mint.

And now it is pouring with rain again. However it was a nice visit and made a nice change. Karen is a couple of years older than my daughter but she is very knowledgeable with I.T. and basic electrics. She has said that she will come round and sort out my electric wiring which resembles spaghetti behind the TV.

Heads not so good today ,I hope my prescription is done I think I will ring first and hope they answer the phone .

We don't usually buy each other an egg but do sometimes buy a bar of chocolate to share at the weekend .

Afternoon All,

It was a couple of hours before I nodded off, but at least I slept through till gone 7.00am which is good for me. I.m finding it easier to be up earlier now the mornings are lighter. That will soon change with the clocks changing this weekend!

No snow here Mel. It was dry and sunny this morning, but it's dull again now and quite windy. My back was playing up this morning so I tried to keep the achey bit under a hot shower this morning and it seems to have helped.

I hope you enjoy your coffee and chat and trip to the garden centre AnnG. Your garden will look quite different with the changes you have made and some new plants.

I need to finish our food order today as I've had to book a slot with there being no deliveries on Sunday. Silly me seems to have lost the list I'd written out though as it isn't where I keep it.

Chicken kievs from Lidl for lunch with french fries and some mixed veg with a white sauce. A bit naughty with the french fries, but quick and easy prevails sometimes.

I meant to say that when the water leak was repaired I couldn't see any new tarmac and have since noticed that there is a round manhole and that is why the water was a circular fountain. There must have been a leak from a join in a pipe inside the manhole.

How are you feeling today Mandy? I hope you feel better don't forget to tell Colin you need a nice big dark chocolate egg for Easter. :-D

Morning all,

No snow here Mel sunny with a little cloud , I thought the children broke up today got that wrong it was yesterday so Lewis is here helping grandad stack some wood ,dil and son have a course on at school today so Lewis is here just for the morning .

I don't think Vera's been on for a couple of days so I hope she's OK

Suns out now with blue sky and white clouds and its 7 degrees and pc says light rain.

Did we hear from Vera yesterday? Hope she's ok.

No snow here plenty of rain over night but dry now.

I have just seen that our surgery is closed for 4 days. And econsult is closed for a week. "if you need help call 111". Can't imagine that happening even 20 years ago, how sad.

Has nobody else had snow?????

I didn't sleep very well which surprised me as I was tired when I went to bed, just couldn't get off.

Morning all,

Snows still here but it is raining now. Its 6 degrees and pc says rain stopping soon.At least the road seems to be c;lear now but its still on the grass and the trees and the car.

Its so annoying I want to drink my coffee but Iv'e made it too hot.

No strange dreams last night that I can remember anyway.

Did you all get a good nights sleep in? I hope so. I hope Mandy feels a bit better now she knows more or less whats wrong and they can soon put her right. sending wishes to you Mandy. <3

Good morning all. only 3 degrees here so a bit on the cool side, although the sun is shining. There doesn't seem to have been a frost last night though.

Mandy looks like you have some answers and hopefully the pills will help you and the spray for your ear.

I am out this morning with a friend and her daughter (who will drive us) for coffee and then the local garden centre probably,

Pc is playing up again.

Why on earth when these vunerable children ar epout back with their parents they are not monitored regulary. He could have bee saved from all the horrors if they were properly watched. It makes you wonder how people can do these wicked things.

I have just been outside for a ciggy and its SNOWING and settleing. :-S

Oh don't worry Ann I've already said to Colin "oh and the doctor said eat at much chocolate as you can " lol :-D
