Christine ,our garden is bone dry.Have had no substantial rain here in months.I think I saw on the news yesterday we are down 60% on rain !!!!!!!!!!.
My little herb garden has just about died(don't think the kids watered it enough when OH and I were away)The rest of the garden looks very sad now.

I just washed all my jacket and coats today,ready for the chilly mornings to do the dog walk.I bet there were a few spiders in them as they haven't been out of the understair cupboard in months lol.They smelled really musty too.

Hi girls, haven't been on here for a while as have been a bit busy of late and before you know it the time flys doesn't it.

Sorry to see your mum's not been so well AB, always worrying when parents get poorly.

I actually felt a bit chilly today when I went shopping and it felt lovely!! I always say I'm not really a summer person, I quite like the autum, it's also a bit of a novelty to me when the nights draw in...seems cosier somehow. don't like the icy roads though or the snow!

Anyway, will log on again soon, fondest wishes to you all.

PS Think I mentioned my daughter has moved out with her partner (hate that word) well I popped over to see her tonight...and she's a real domestic goddess! Wonder how long it'll last though!! ha ha!

Hi Pam, try using the old scots version of "partner" bidey in .It literally means living with,or as we say in this part of the world staying with. and like many old scots words and sayings is still in daily use,Pronounced "by day."

Hi all, that's a much nicer word Patricia, so will use that when I see them again and explain what it means...they both know I don't like the word partner. My mum was from Glasgow and I lived there for a short time when i was very young, we're talking 1959-60 time. I remember my aunts calling children wains (spelling) and if I cried my cousins would say I was greetin (spelling again!) That was a long time ago but i remember some of it like it was yesterday.

Glad you're sleeping better Lizzie, me too. Hubby has got a bad cold so have banished him to spare room (seems we've got so many now the two kids have moved out) and these past few nights i've slept so well, so what does that tell you...no farting or snorring to annoy me!!!

It's a lovely day (well to me it is) south westerly wind keeping it lovely and fresh!

Hope everyone's keeping okay,

Pam.

The wind (not Pam's OH) ,has blown the gazebo down!!!!!.We were going to take it down anyway this weekend.
I slept like a log last night and woke up feeling exhausted lol

Hi Jane, hope things are going okay with you. you made me chuckle about the wind! Yes farty bum still has a cold so he's still bannished to the spare room, I'm working tomorrow night at the residential hom e and don't want his cold getting to my dear oldies there...it does annoy me when some staff come into work with very bad colds! We get paid if we're sick so why on earth do they come in!!

Anyway, take care girls and sleep well.

Pam.xx

PS You never know Jane it could have been my hubby's bum that blew it down...they are performed with great GUSTO and we're not that far from you as the crow flies!! ha ha!

I asked OH if he would remove my Mirena Coil as it has been in 12months longer than it should have.It was quite funny really as I had a sudden vision of the window cleaner appearing at the bedroom window lol.Then the postman came ,and that set the dog off barking.OH was there with all the sterile stuff and the biggest torch.I asked him what the heck he needed that for and as he explained it is very dark up there and he needed to see what he was doing LOL.At least I didn't have to go my own GP to go ferreting around !!!

It must be good having a OH as a doctor Jane, though on the other hand do you get a lot of sympathy when you are ever feeling unwell as OH will know if it is serious or not, Men are terrible patients when they are poorly.
I expect my OH would make a terrible doctor, as he won't let me phone the NHS unless my temperature is high or he has analyzed every symptom before hand.

Fiona he is useful for some things,like today.But I have to say no i don't get a lot of sympathy for other things.In one way I can understand it as he has spends all his days listening and dealing with patients,and when he walks through the door the last thing he wants is to hear me moaning about my aches and pains lol.Generally if it is anything more than the usual throat,menapausy stuff etc he will say to go and see my own GP.
In General they do recommend that you don't have your own OH as your GP.

Christine ,I hope your Mums meeting with the surgeon today goes OK.I bet your mind is imagining all sorts of things at the moment.

Morning
Christine hope all goes well with your mum. will be thinking about you all.
Dustbin day here I can here the bottles rattleing into the lorry as I type this out, I hope they don't trail our bins to far down the street, OH painted our house number on our bins as all the bins were ending up outside each others driveways and it was very confusing.

Hi ladies, hope all goes well with your mum Christine, it is so worrying when your mum or dad gets poorly. I'm sure it will get sorted for her.

Jane I think I''ve said before about you're hubby being a GP and it being handy! I think I may allow hubby back into the marital bed again tonight...think he shouldn't be contagious anymore...hope so anyway.

I was thinking yesterday...it's going to be one whole year this christmas since my last period...am I over the change I wonder? Jane can you ask hubby what he thinks!!

I'll still post on here even if I am...nothing like somewhere to share your moans and groans...and some laughter too!

Pam.x

Hi Pam ,I am just hoping now the coil is out I don't have any more periods.That was the reason I had it ,to stop the darn things.I shall be on edge for a while I think lol.I will ask OH ,and I reckon he will say it sounds like you are over that bit now.
Good luck having your OH back LOL.Wink Wink !!!!

Hi Lizzie, well hubby has had the snip so no more babies and at 54 I don't think I could cope if he hadn't and i did get pregnant!!

Yes Jane, I feel a shag may be on the cards! I mean the 'bird' of the same name of course... that frequents the broads in these here parts of norfolk!! ha ha!

Ahh will the earth move for me later...probably not!

Pam.x

PS Jane, we could have called you Zebadee!

LOL Pam ....Boing Boing!!!!!!!!!!!!!.What are you like .

Morning ladies hope you're all okay.

I'm fine and not 'cos the earth moved last night as we decided he'd be better off in the spare room still...but the sun is shinning here, so not like yesterday all rainy and gloomy.

hope you all have a nice day and keep safe...I'm off to buy some evening primrose oil...don't know that it works, but I'm taking it all the same!

Pam.

Christine ,EVERY HOSPITAL MUST HAVE A PROCEDURE FOR COMPLAINTS.They may be trying to fob her off.Your cousin needs to persue it.
Shucks Pam ....maybe another night lol.

Good for her .We don't complain enough in this country .We are too polite!!!!!
We need to Kick Ass a bit more often(excuse the expression) but some things don't half make my blood boil .
I had a funny conversation with a lady yesterday.I held a door open for her ,she then held it for me !!!!!! We laughed and said we were Q ing(can't spell it)
to be polite LOL.I said it is because we are British.You would not get that anywhere else.

Oh dear AB sad to read about your OH's cousin's mum, totally unacceptable and i'm glad they are going to moan about it, it's terrible the way people are treated and at that age too, disgusting. i totally agree with jane we don't complain enough in this country.

Hope you get sorted yourself too Christine, and yes they do tend to fob us all off with pills at times don't they.

Where i work an edely gentleman has been put on 'the liverpool care plan', I think they call it...well i'm finding this most distressing if I'm honest, he doesn't seem like he's on his death bed to me. they are treating him well, he's eating and drinking okay don't get me wrong...i'd soon blow the whistle if they weren't, but it just seems wrong some how. Jane you'd probably know more about this than me that's for sure. His GP has authorised it etc. but i don't know, he seems fine to me.

Ah well, now off to bed...on my own...really quite like it.

Speak soon

Pam.xx

Afternoon ladies..no one about, speak later.

Have a nice afternoon.

Pam.
