Hi Dea


was just about to go and have breakfast, when I saw your reply.


Hip is easing off, thank you ....... rubbed my very strong diclofenac gel on it. Plus the different position helps (sitting vs lying down)


We leave next Tuesday .............. so in the last stages of getting things done.

I do have .......

all the presents bought, though not wrapped;

OH made the Christmas pud before he went to China;

we have the Christmas letter done and cards bought, now only have to write the card and get it all into the mail ....... all 100+ of them;


Still have to ..........

work out what clothes etc we are each taking for on the train and at daughter's;

work out what new knitting project I will take to do on the train and at daughter's;

sort out books to take;

:-D :-D



I have a big eye exam (ca 2 hours long) on Thursday, and physio next Monday

Oh what a busy life you lead !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx <3

Gins glad your brother is feeling a bit better <3

We have our GD tomorrow (but not at the crack of dawn) its her 2nd birthday on Friday and I am going to have to knit at the speed of light to get her cardie finished ;-)

Went and visited D-I-L yesterday to get a cuddle of GD no2 cant believe she will be 3 weeks old tomorrow she is changing already :-D

Oooh cuddling a baby nothing like it <3

I just love cuddling babies Linds.............I agree....nothing like it.... :-D



Sorry about your hip Sylvs and hope it sorts itself out for your journey. I think my daughter uses that cream for her shoulder.



You need to get a kindle and then you wouldn't have to worry about packing any books....... ;-)



It was like going back in time this evening when my son arrived for his meal.............he was dealing with his two teenagers and it took me back to when he and his sister were young.......dear oh dear........ :-D :-D :-D

Sylvia hope your hip is better before you go on your trip <3

Cynthia the only thing better than cuddling babies is being able to hand them back ;-)

Re your sons teenagers my Mum used to say that was Grandmas revenge as in what goes around comes around ;-)

Its quiet on here I'm off to knit that cardie

Mornin all~~~

I would have been here ealier but its taken me 3 hours to get the buddy top off the milk!

My friend had a baby yesterday..........awww, she is so lovely :-D Photo on the dark side

Am a bit saddened......opened an early Christmas card to find that one of our friends had died and his wife has had to go into a nursing home because of dementia!

They were very, very kind to us when our first child was born and passed on lots of things because they knew we couldn't afford mega much. He had diabetes but it was left untreated and he was blind for the last 40 years of his life. Grief, I feel old now.....so long ago, so many lovely memories. :-( :-)

Hi all

I also need to get a new blow drier ................ my little one that I take away with me is acting up, and I don't trust that it will continue to work for the next 3 weeks :-(

Sending hugs Cynths>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Sorry to hear that Cyns <3

C sorry to hear about your friends.

i don't feel very " Christmassy" either.

I feel sorry for their daughter. She is an only child and, whilst married with a child of her own, it must seem as though she has lost both her parents in a very short space of time.



Enjoy your shopping Sylvs. Hair gel? Do you like the occasional 'spikey' look then? :-D


Just got back from baptism prep. A great gang of folk were decorating church - they always make such a good job of it. We have traditional type candle lamps on poles lining the centre aisle which is very effective and there's loads of greenery around.

One of the Godparents went into raptures and exclaimed that she 'wanted to get married here next Christmas' because it was so beautiful :-S :-S I jokingly reminded her that marriage is more than walking down an aisle - it's more about washing dirty socks!! :-D
