Hi Jules, I also like your new title here. I hope you are taking good care of yourself as you take this journey to a different way of life. I'm sure there are a lot of adjustments to be made before you find a comfortable niche to settle into, but you seem to have very supportive family around to help you to do that. Also, your friends on the forum are always here because as you likely know, there will be bumps and bruises along the way.
Hi, I am having a few technical glitches with internet when on this site - error shows 'Gateway time out' - gobblygook to me!! Also replies freezing. Hope you get to see this but Moderator Lucie will look into itif it continues to be bothersome.
Have had family today and chat with Church official re service requirements and am currently munching on daughter in law's home made lemon curd and poppy seed muffin (she loves to experiment and is a gret 'baker'so very happy to be guinea pig!
Having issues with internet connection (and yes,, have paid the bill!!!!!). Hopefully all my buddies will see this post and I just wanted to say thanks for all the continuing support - its means a lot especially with so many of you have your own troubles/journies to travel.
Hope you get some good news about Hannah very soon and will be thinking of you.
No win at the bingo but a very relaxing couple of hours after a very hectic week of appointments (same again next week as only have one fully free day. May have writers cramp but making sure that all those I need to contact hear my news in the right way ~(if there is a right way to do it!!). Had a couple of hours of retail therapy with mydaughter yesterday and today my son in law has cured my 'sticking front door' as I was in danger of being trapped indoors. Eldest grandson has been having a laugh at my expense after we got out a load of old (and mean old) photo albums. Wonderful memories for us all to look back on (though the photographer leaves a lot to be desired!!!). Son's girlfriend popped in some shopping and home made muffins so think New Year's diet will have to begin in 2016 but we had a lovely chat (son was on a scuba diving course for the day). Right had better get the washing ready as off to the launderette in the morning - will soon try and find the time to replace old one but not top of the list right now!.
Take care and hope you hear some good news soon.Hugs Jules x
Have read a couple of LeeChild books a few years ago. Enjoy Kathy Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Jo Nesbo but to be honest working in a book department tend to read the 'backs' and try anything that takes my fancy. Have a whole pile of books sitting waiting and may now begin to work my way through them. Strange now that TVnot on all day but I am a fan of having music on and finding that pretty relaxing at the moment. Look after yourself. Jules
Jules I really like your idea of holding off on the new year diet until 2016. The bigwigs that we love to complain about would probably call that "blue sky thinking"! Sorry you didn't manage a win at bingo but it has to happen eventually although I know the time spent in good company is the reason for going and it is another way for someone to give you support.
I spoke to my sister last night and Hannah is still in hospital with no sign yet of discovering what the problem is. They have ruled out the obvious ones like appendix or gall bladder so the next thing is a CAT scan tomorrow so I don't expect to hear anything until tomorrow evening at the earliest. The hospital she is in does not have the best reputation but it is not the fault of the doctors and nurses who do an amazing job of trying to look after people in a hospital run by money men. Apparently it's progress!
Another busy week for you and although I know it all has to be done don't wear yourself out. Sorry Jules, as soon as I typed that sentence the words "teach", "Grandma" and "suck eggs" came to mind so just ignore me.
Glad you went out on Friday nighy but sorry you didnt get a win. I think trying to keep some normality in your life is important while so much is changing. I hope your internet connection has stabalized for I know how much it means to you to maintain contact with your forum buddies.
I didnt get to post anything at all yesterday on here as I was so busy. When I went to my meeting there was a small tree which had come down and had blocked the road until someone had dragged it alongside the road but there were small wooden debris all over the road. The meeting overan but the good thing is I was able to buy myself some chips on the way home. He gave me extra chips as he was clearing out the last of them and much to my disgust I found I couldnt eat them all. It;s very rare I wast food. Today I am trying to catch up on what I didnt do yesterday.
Its a nice morning for your Sunday morning walk allthough a bit chilly. Mrs B's shopping trolley has arrived on Friday and have put it together for her. I told her they must have know you are a short a** as the handle is in the lowest position. I now have one ear which is pillar box red and twice as big as my other one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have also been told I might have to end up cooking my own dinner.
Anyway, take care Jules, I am sending best wishes and big hugs your way, Brian.
Would never knowingly 'ignore'my forum buddies;) and don't worry I still suffer from 'foot in mouth' syndrome!!!
Do hope that the scan Hannah has can throw some light on the problem she is suffering as I would imagine both she and those surrounding her are concerned. Another case of waiting to know the outcome of appointments and minds overthinking possibilities. I know you have a lot in your head just now but do try and have a peaceful Sunday (and beyond) with Mrs G.
I have been listening to the music we have chosen for hubby's celebration of life (not for the first time!) and am now about to go out for the second time today (went to the launderette early but am saving the ironing till later). I am visiting my friend from work for a coffee and chat and as she lives within a short walk of the town centre will kill two birds with one stone and do some essential shopping. Have several necessary appointments to go through next week so am making the most of some me time today.
Hi Jules, happy to see you are having some " me time"' oh so very important. Was going to ask you an irrelevant question about ironing but of no import. I have an iron but may as well be a doorstop,!!! Have next doors Jack Russell for 3 night so am babysitting as such. Houdini as I shall call her escaped twice in first 30 mins of visit. Now on harness and lead while outside. Mmmmm. My cat is bigger than she is but now tail wagging , think she has accepted who I am. Made my will yesterday, was a bit remiss that didn't have one till now, but want to streamline processes for the future. Hope you have something exceedingly naughty at the coffee shop like Carmel shortbread, yum. Lots of love Kathy xxx
Hello Jules, my name is Kerrie, it was reading your story on here that I joined, the care and compassion shown by all on here I feel will help me. my mum diagnosed on 22/12/2014, with gall bladder and liver cancer, in operable. Has deteriorated so much it's just awful to watch.
I am signed off work sick from today to care for her. I am so sorry to eventually read your hubby passed away, it brought emotions out in me, the wonderful support on here must surely make you feel so loved and supported, it truly has been a hard couple of years for you, I admire your strength, I wish all the best too. And to all those whose lovely posts I have read you are all amazing people. Kerrie
