When you wake at the dawn of a new year my hope is that it will be a happy, healthy and peaceful one for everyone.

Thank you Jonesey !!!

May I wish the very same to you !!!

Nite nite <3 <3

Is she O.K. now ??

Dea xxx

It was lovely Dea :-D

Jonesey........your daughter?

Thank you Jonesey, my sentiments exactly and wishing you and your family the same. <3 <3


Dea dearest.....I don't 'do' festivities.....I will just be glad when it's all over, so it's no problem...... ;-)



I rather like these words for this time of year....

Year's end is
neither an end nor a beginning
but a going on
with a wisdom
that experience
can instill in us.


With my love........... <3

Dea what a wonderful spread and the lemon meringue pie was yummy.
<3

Jonesey thank you and the same to you and your family. Please update us as to how your daughter is doing

<3

Cynthia that little verse says it all.

Now my friends I am going to sign off and spend the rest of the evening (or should that be year) with my OH.

I wish you all a happy healthy and prosperous New Year <3

Hey....Happy New Year


You lot, keep me sane, thank you

HAPPY NEW YEAR

To those kind enough to enquire about my daughter. The latest news is a little mixed. Her latest scan revealed that the fractured vertebrae have fused and as a result of that she no longer has to wear the support collar.

Unfortunately however it is not all good news. The healed bones are not in proper alignment and the disc between them is being squeezed (Spinal Herniation) meaning that she is almost in constant pain. Whilst the pain can to a certain extent be controlled with pain killers it is obviously not an ideal situation especially when bearing in mind her other medical issues. She is now awaiting an appointment at the Neurosurgery Department of the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to see whether the condition will heal itself of its own accord or whether surgery will be required to correct the situation.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for the update on your daughter Jonesey.

Mixed news indeed but, hopefully, she will soon know one way or the other how her condition is going to be dealt with. Even if it is decided than surgery is the best way forward, it will be worth it to have her free from pain.

My son had a similar operation several years ago and recovered quite quickly. It was such a relief for him to be free from the restrictions which the disc problem had caused.

Please pass on our very best wishes to her........you could tell her they are from her dad's funny friends :-D :-D :-D


Meanwhile, back to the job in hand..

Let's get the kettle on......... :-D


I will just put out a light breakfast


Cereal
Fresh rolls and croissants
Spreads
Bread for toasting

The bacon and other things required for a Full English, I will leave in the fridge but please help yourselves.


(There is a special large barm cake known round here as a 'bin lid' just for Dea. She can fill it with bacon and mushrooms when she arrives.



Not sure about Gins comment that we keep her 'sane'. I would say we are failing miserably.......... :-D :-D



Hope you all had a good night........I didn't even hear the clock strike 12 :-D

OOhh Jonesey - thanks for the update on your daughter and I hope they can get things sorted out for her quickly. <3

Happy New Year everyone ! :-)

Thank you for the breakfast Cynths - I couldn't possibly eat a whole 'bin lid' in one go but I have had half now and I will tackle the other half later!

It was delicious! <3 <3 <3

Things are not good but it could have been a whole lot worse.

And Dea has me wondering now....secrets.
