Good morning Mummo.
You've had so much to contend with recently and having been strong for so long it's no wonder events must have taken it's toll on your health.
I'm so sorry to hear you're down and I can only say get better soon and hope the move goes smoothly and that afterwards you can concentrate on getting back to your happy self

All my best wishes to you and Eddie

Aw Mummo..... (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) for you..... just having a GP tell you that it is hardly surprising that you feel as you do will help, I am sure. It validates your emotions, and helps you to feel that they are NORMAL responses in your circumstances.... it wouldn't be normal for you NOT to feel like that.... more (((((hugs))))) as well.

Ann, have a wonderful time... you are going for a week aren't you? I am going to relax in the garden a lot.... the weather forecast is very good, so I shall fill the paddling pool later for madam...... I'll make sure it is in the shade under the trees, but I have the total sunblock as well... she is very fair skinned. She didn't get burned at all yesterday, which is good.... son is very very fussy.

She is still asleep, lol...... I have really enjoyed some *me* time.... I didn't go to the beach yesterday, but she wants to go again today..... the park is in the full sun, so that is out.... the equipment gets very hot on tender bottoms. We might go later in the afternoon when

I have stocked up with mini magnums... so hopefully that will go down a treat.... she thinks she is quite grown up, lol

Well, I can hear little feet upstairs.... best go and get her breakfast!

Good luck for tomorrow, Mummo. Do you have help?

Love

Daff xxxxx

((((((hugs )))))) Mummo, I hope just telling the doctor helped and I hope you soon feel back to your normal cheerful self. Good luck with the move, we go away tomorrow so wont be on here but will be thinking of you.

Morning all, well went to the doctors and who sat there blubbering.........me,
he did say he wasn't surprised that l was having a breakdown with everything that was going on and he has given me some tablets and l have to have some blood tests on Monday and will see him again in a fortnight, he also offered me counseling which l declined at the moment as don't feel l could talk to someone yet.
Well its moving day tomorrow so l have a busy day today and l donot feel like doing anything, lol.
Off now to have my boiled egg and toast, speak soon, take care everyone xxx

Morning all.... Maz, I will, I promise! It is beautiful here as well... so Barry Island it is, later.... I have to go into Cardiff first though... I have an appointment with a counsellor... I shall let you know how I get on, I don't think I need it now, but I made the inquiries and set the ball rolling a few weeks ago when I had all that fuss with the DWP...

~~~~ to Ann, she is stood next to me counting the pennies she has *found* around the house, lol.... she has found grampie's stash on the kitchen unit... it'll all go into her frog in a moment.....

Right, must go... it is in a road I know quite well, but parking is difficult, so I am going in earlier. See you all later.

Love

Daff xxxxx

morning all Daff be kind to yourself as well as littlie enjoy your time .it is warmer here this morning the sun is out showing up the dust lol

Have fun Daff, she does sound delightful and I do envy you having her to yourself so much, reminds me of when daughter's boys were little.

Phew!! I am shattered... I slept extremely well last night, and so did madam... she got up just after Grampy and he gave her breakfast, then she came back in and snuggled with me for half an hour, pretending to snore.. I think she is trying to tell me something? Then up, watch a bit of Dora, and into the shower with her... she looks like a wrinkled prune, lol.... she has washed everything in sight.... hair now drying naturally while I wait for the water to heat back up so that I can have a shower, too... we have our shopping list written out... she wants wellies and a new umbrella for her birthday next week, bless her!!

Her last lot are too small now. Princess ones now, because she will be growed up when she is four, lolol.... but she has chattered non stop.... don't know where she gets it from... I have heard all about her teacher, her new school, her new best friend, her weekend away, she loves T (he is 7) and what she is going to do on the beach in Wales... so Barry Island it is in the near future... we shall get our chips from the best chip place in the world, as featured in Gavin and Stacey... and he changed the oil for me last year in one of the small fryers, so that I could have it fresh, when I was neutropaenic.... can't get better than that, can you? He knew someone who had leukaemia... so understood straight away when he was asked whether the oil was changed every day....

So... Mothercare, Maccy D and Toys R Us today...... beach tomorrow even if it's raining...

~~~~~~~ to everyone... she is down now (she has been up with Daddy, on his computer) and asking me if I want her to turn the shower on for me, lolol..... guess that is almost 4 year old speak for *get your finger out Granny* lol... oh, and I have promised her maccy D... a huge treat for her!! So I had better hurry, lol

Love

Daff xxxxx

See you all later.....

Rain here too this morning, good for the garden anyway and at least we have got it looking OK now.

Let us know how you get on Mummo. Did the hall get re-done to your liking?

Morning...........started raining here down on the south coast a while back :(((((
Got my doctors appointment at 9.40 am. so better get ready,
speak soon, x

morning all hope the weather is better where you are its dark and miserable raining hard will do some indoor chores today

Morning all.... welcome back, Ann... or did I say that yesterday?

I wasn't so wonderful yesterday... hid and played scrabble! I beat Rob twice, so he had a quick sulk! Back and for to bed in between games, lol.... not a wonderful night on Saturday so was tired and achey, but last night slept like a log so feel brilliant.... and I am afraid I have discovered Bejewelled on Facebook... it is very very addictive, :¬S

Madam is now here... she is off re-acquainting herself with all her toys. She is with us a little bit longer this time... she is going home next Tuesday. She is full of her weekend... been to stay with her Godparents for the Bank holiday, so son didn't have to drive so far, just to Leicestershire.

Well, I have no doubt we shall be busy... I have been collecting all the crusts and freezing them, so shall defrost some for the ducks at Roath Park lake tomorrow... she loves that trip out.

Right... the attention of the wardrobe expert is required... mummy has bought her new red shoes, and I have a pair of red shoes, so it looks like we are going to be wearing them at the same time... it would appear that no other shoes would do... it had to be red ones, like Granny's, lol....

See you all later.

Loads of love

Daff xxxx

morning all getting a little more motivated today doing a few chores here but the morning sun is lovely here so it will be a lazy day again hopefully

Been sleeping all day Daff???? Is it tomorrow that littly arrives?

Laptop located and hopefully will be collected on 18th June thanks to the efforts of Tenerife Sun and Mr Tenerife sun and friends. We would have been lost without their help as the lost property office had nobody who spoke English.

Well, security was a big hassle there when we were not expecting to have to go through it having transferred internally. First the bottle of water we had bought airside had to be thrown away, then I had a light jacket and a gillette on and they both had to come off, shoes had to come off and laptops had to be removed from bags and opened. So I had 2 trays, one with lap top, one with shoes, jackets and handbag in plus my carry on bag. Put the tray with jackets etc in on top of tray with laptop, sorted out clothes, checked I had passport and boarding pass, put shoes on, then we only had half an hour before boarding and we needed something to eat, buy more water etc. Bearing in mind we had landed at terminal 4s and were departing from T4 that in itself takes over 20 minutes to get there. No wonder we were rushed and hassled. Then there was a lot of confusion at security because other people had been caught, they had bought things at duty free in T4S but were relieved of them at security in terminal 4 so insisted on speaking to police, it was chaos.

No excuse for stupidity but a reason. Luckily I had downloaded everything I had written in Tenerife onto a flash drive.

Oh no Ann... I'd be gutted!! This absent minded malarky is ver contagious, isn't it?

Pleased you are all home safe and well, otherwise, though.

Maz, I have only just got out of bed... I had a terrible night... but dozed off about 9 eventually, so I may even go back to bed soon... my back just needs to de-kink for a bit...

~~~~~ to everone, (((((hugs))))) for Mummo and Eddie... see you all later.

Love

Daff xxxx

morning all
having a very lazy start here it was a lovely morning but now clouding over rapidly .i have some gentle chores to do this week as well as getting to grips with my maths level 2 exam which is at the end of the month June that is .
welcome home Ann

Well we are home, flights all on time and uneventful.
Daff I think I have topped all your absentmindedness/losing things etc. I left my netbook on the security desk in Madrid. Don't ask we if, when or how I will get it back, Madrid is not the most honest of places and it was heaving so somebody may have had a windfall. Luckily it is only mainly used for note taking, keeping in touch while away, nothing of importance stored on there.

Anyway back to the jungle that passes as a garden!
