We had a laugh yesterday J has recieved a 80th birthday card from a friend at church, he rang her to say thanks and explain it isnt until 18th June :-D :-D :-D
we thought she had got mixed up with the one on saturday, but she hadnt and was convinced J had a 80th in January, so hope he can re-open it in June ;-) ;-) ;-)

Lol!! Jean, better than having it arrive 5months too late. I don't know what it is lately, but I seem to be having trouble remembering birthdays......it must be old age.

Jennie wanted to go to Hobby Craft this afternoon, she is going to try making some bracelets, so we decided to go too. I had a slow walk with the help of a stick around the card making area........a bit disappointing didn't seem to have much of anything new there at all.......so didn't spend any money at all, which is very unusual for me.lol!!

I shall be glad when my leg is better, as it's still a bit painful getting about, but if I just stay at home all the time I'll go crazy.


Sylvia, hope that all went well at your SinL's Memorial Service. Have a good trip home tomorrow.
Also hoping that you have received better news of your daughter over the last day or two. Thinking of you all.


Mo, hope you are feeling a bit better. Were you well enough to gob to Lilly's party yesterday, or did you stay at home and get a slice of cake?


Jean, hope that both you and J will enjoy the afternoon 80th birthday tea party tomorrow. It will make a nice change for you both.


Ann, hope all is well with you and T. Are you busy making some cards now? I shall be happy to start making them again.


Marie, hope everything is alright with you and your family.


Huia, hope you are feeling a bit better now and are able to get on with a few things that you want to do.

Speak to you all soon.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello all , it is very hot here,I have the air con on but it does not seem to come into this room.
I hope you are all safe from the floods you are having.
we could do with some of your rain
The property has not been sold yet,I do hope it sells soon as the tanks are now l dry they were using the water for the gardens.
I am going to a B B Q farewell for my grandson to-night he will be leaving for Melbourne this coming week he is hoping to get a teaching job down there, a couple of his mates will be going soon as well, they are hoping to get a unit to share.I will miss him.

Sallie what have you done to your leg?? I often suffer with cramp but since I have been taking a Magnesium tablet each day I rarely get a cramp at night
.
Hi Sylvia , I have not had time to read the back postsI hope all is well with you and Husband also with your daughter it is hard not to stress about our family ,I pray that everything turns out well for you all.
Hi to Jean and also to Mo your part of the globe is being swamped, so much rain while we are having our usual Heat waves and Fires.

I wish you all well, God Bless Love and Hugs Marie
<3 <3

Hi Marie, lovely to hear from you and to know that you are all alright. I see from the watching the news of the cricket how hot it is over there.....it would be far too hot for me, I'm afraid........still all the rain we are having is terrible, feel so sorry for all the poor people whose homes have been flooded, lets hope that they can get some financial help to get their homes sorted.


Talking of rain, I slipped on the wet floor of the bus two weeks ago and tore the ligaments in my left leg, so having to rest it a good bit of the time. It's slowly getting better and I can hobble along slowly with the help of a stick.lol!! Still the doctor at the hospital did say it can take up to six weeks to get better. Thank you for asking.


Enjoy the farewell B B Q for your grandson tonight. Wishing him a safe journey to Melbourne and hope that he will find a teaching job very soon. Sending him very best wishes for the future.


Hope all you girls are all okay today.


Speak to you all later.



Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello All. Jean Lol, birthdays are bad enough without them coming round every 6 months!!!

Marie, good to see you, it seems we are all getting extremes of weather. We in the UK will shortly be growing flippers. However, a plus is that it is not cold. I hope the house sells soon or your garden may not get watered. You will miss your grandson, hopefully he will stay in touch by e mail. I do hear sparodically from mine, usually when they want something :-D

Sallie, glad you were able to get out for a short while, disappointing not to find anything to buy, I thought htat the last time I went to Hobbycraft, they seem to have cut right back on the card making stuff and there was loads of knitting.crocheting and bead making stuff. I have bad about four very easy cards this week, not many but a start.

Mo. Hope that you are better now and that you had a slice of cake. Lily looked pleased with her present in the FB photo.

Hi Ann, yes I found the same at both the Nottingham and Staines stores......in fact both stores also have a fair sized area given up to cake decorating, there seemed to be loads of cake tins, moulds, icing etc..... in both the stores, great if you are into that kind of thing.

I've just had a quick look on the card making sites, I'm looking for something different that I can use for Easter cards (not that I make many) but can't see very much of anything on them. At the moment I miss going to the craft shops in Derby, especially one of them.lol!!


Love, Sallie.xxx

Hello girls,
Just popping in to say hello to you all.
I am still not feeling to good. I went and saw the doctor on Friday morning, and he listened to my chest and lungs....he was not very happy, and sent me straight to the hospital for a chest xray, and has put me on a new set of anti-biotics.
The results should be back within five working days, but I am not feeling any better I am afraid to say.
Hopefully I will be up to chatting more tomorrow.
Take care everyone, it was so nice to read all your news.
Love and hugs Mo xxx

Oh Mo, sorry to hear that you are not feeling any better, hope that the new set of antibiotics do the trick for you. Will be thinking about you and hoping that you will feel a lot better very soon. Take care.

Love and best wishes. Sallie.xxx

Give the antibs time to work Mo and I hope that you will soon feel better.

Mo, sending much love and heartfelt prayers to you <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Always in my heart, Jean xxx <3

Mo, just looking in to say that I hope that you are at least a little bit better today. Sending you love and hugs. <3 <3 <3 <3


Lots of Get Well Wishes to you. Sallie.xxx <3

Mo, just wondering how you are today. I hope that the antibiotics have started to kick in and that you are feeling a bit better. Thinking about you and sending you love and hugs. <3 <3 <3 <3

Hello girls, just looking in to see how you all are, as it has been a few days since any of us have posted.



Mo, how are you? I hope that you have improved over the last few days and that you are feeling better than you have been. Thinking about you and sending you love and hugs.



I have been wondering how your friend Florence got on last week when she seen the Specialist. I hope it all went well for her. Sending her lots of positive thoughts and prayers.





Ann, hope that things are alright with you too, as I haven't seen you on the boards for a few days either. Not sure if you and T have gone on holiday or that you are poorly. Just hope that you are both okay.





Jean also hope that you and the family are all alright too. Thought that you might be busy making cards.



I sent for some dies yesterday, fed up of not being able to go into Derby to the craft shop I like, so decided to buy some things online. I'm hoping that it won't be too long now before I can get upstairs again and get ' lost ' in my card making.lol!!




Sylvia, if you manage to look in, I'm wondering how things are with your daughter and hoping that she is home from hospital and is recovering well.

Also hope that your wound from the biopsy is much better.




Huia, how are you getting on? I hope that you are feeling a bit better and don't feel so down and depressed as you have been lately. It's good that you have the shop
to go to, as I'm sure that it must help by getting you out. Hope that Phil isn't too bad at the moment and that they are able to get him to swallow.





Marie, how are things with you and your family? I hope that everyone is alright.

Hope that the B B Q went well last week and that you enjoyed yourself there.
Has your grandson gone to Melbourne yet? Hope he likes it there and that he will be happy there.


Everything is okay here, apart from the wet and miserable weather we are all having. Although I don't like the weather too hot, we could do with some of your sunshine here in Britain.lol!!





Sending love, best wishes and positive thoughts to all of you and your families that are poorly.




Love, Sallie. xxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
