Hello Carole

All this talk of cards and presents etc getting a bit much. We were out today and thought oh heck I have left a present on lounge floor with the wrapping paper along side. Hope family doesn't turn up... etc and then when I got home looked and I had very diligently wrapped it up the evening before. Hate it when that happens!!!!

Just had a text about an hour ago from Daughter - my grandson (8 yrs) is in hospital - think it is appendicitis and now they are waiting to see surgeons as he is going to have operation.

Perse.

Hope all goes well for your grandson Perse. If it's the appendix - he will be out of hospital and will probably have the best Christmas ever - he'll be a INVALID!!! I just hope he's not getting a bike or skates!!

Hi Carole and thanks for telling me you were only 11 when I was married:-)) Mind you I wasn't much older myself.

Persey, I thought that was very funny - OH didn't:-)) What a worry but I'm sure your grandson will be ok. He will love finishing school a little early but will be a little sore over Christmas. Let us know how it goes.

Alison thinking of you lovely lady. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Diane we'll all be glad when you have your break as we all know how hard you work. Obviously your body is telling you it's time to rest. I hope the bigger dose of medication works for you.

Hello everyone else:-)

Bit of a worry Berona - I just bought him a scooter yesterday. He will have to just sit and read the books that I bought him.

He has always been an active little lad, my daughter is scared of heights but he has not inherited her fear, when he was three he was heading up the ladder to join his father on the roof. Needless to say father got told off for not ensuring that he was safely ensconced indoors.
Course he also likes going for a coffee with me - I think it is the coke and the chocolate brownie that are the enticement not my company.
OH worries when anyone has an operation - as some people cannot handle anaesthetic very well.

P

Good morning/evening all. Hope all is well.

Persey - I'm thinking of you and your grandson.

Good morning Australasians - are we the only ones looking in?
Perse - hope the little fellow is OK. It's always a worry when anyone is on the operating table - but problems are vary rare. You won't stop him from using the scooter either. One of mine kept climbing onto the roof of the garage while he was waiting for the stitches to be removed (without a ladder too).

If any Brits are here - good evening. If not - then, where are you?

We've been deserted, Berona. I've made my bed and put a load of washing on the line and still no-one but the two of us.

Hi all you Australasians
I'm finally here, would have been here an hour ago but just as I signed in I got a phone call.
Perse hope your grand-son is alright hun,

Sue 5dys and counting lol

Berona I'm here and by the time I'v finished posting other brit's will probably have joined us.

Diane

Allan may be deep in conversation with a wheelie bin but when we don't hear from Tec, I worry a little and hope all is well.

I can only pop in as I prepare to keep a 9am appt with the doc. Have to give blood for my annual test. However, I WILL be back - because I have been awake since 4:30, when I made a cup of coffee and took it back to bed, then was about to drink when I realised I couldn't have it! That was nearly four hours ago and my tum is beginning to think my throat has been cut! I will certainly be back - for breakfast!

Good Morning/Evening Everyone,

I hope you are well- because I am not.

I wish to inform the world that I have a cold. I am reduced to a shivering quivering, sneezing, coughing, aching, wreck of my former self.

I realise it is pointless fishing for sympathy here, as the sisterhood are probably giggling to themselves as they read this.

Allan may sympathise, as he will know how men suffer with a cold.

Perse, I hope things are well with the little chap today.

Tec

Hello Diane - nice to see you:-)) I'm almost as excited as you are about your break.

Good luck with your appointment, Berona. A big cup of coffee and a nice breakfast when you come back - you'll need it:-))

Tec - how can you possibly think that my sisters and I would gloat over the thought of you being ill. I'm terribly hurt. I have nothing but sympathy although I will admit I'm glad I'm not on duty in your house. Of course if you really need me then I will come and look after you and the Duchess but only if you throw that darn bell away as you may end up wearing it in a most uncomfortable place:-))

Sue xx

Hi Diane - Not that you're counting the days then?
Hi Berona - You should make them pay for that blood.

Mistress Susan..........Good Lord - Much as I truly appreciate your sympathy, and kind offer to come and sooth my fevered brow, I am astonished at your suggestion re the bell - as it's a ships bell, where could I wear it?
Anyway, these days I use a loud hailer to summon the staff to the bedchamber.

Tec

I meant to mention that I have had an email from Colin and he and his lady are both well.

Sue xx

Good evening/morning all

Tec, you must definitely return to bed. Have a little bell on your bedside table so that when you want company and sympathy, as well as a little sustenance you just give a little tinkle, and the ministering Angel will be with you forthwith!

Hello Persey, I hope that all goes well with your g/son

Sue, we would never desert yourself and Berona.....who knows what schemes you would hatch if we weren't here to keep you both in check!

Hello to Berona Carole and Diane

Allan

A hailer?!? Then you're definately on your own, sir.

Sue xx

Chuckle, chuckle Allan....as if you could keep Berona and I in check:-)))

Any chance you might respond to a pathetic whimper?

Good Morning Allan

I knew I could rely on another male to understand the gravity of man flu. We suffer untold misery, and are expected to carry on.
Sue threatened to do unspeakable things with the bell, there is no justice.

Tec

Tec, I know all about bells as I had to get into the role of Quasimodo and what Sue was hinting at would be physically impossible with all but the smallest bell.

Again, it just demonstrates the fairer sex's lack of sympathy!

Allan

Oh Tec....a pathetic whimper is all I would expect from a sick man.

Sue xx

As does that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allan
