Deanna, I think it might have been from Tchibo, so will look on their site later.

I am feeling so sad about my friend, I spoke to her sister in law today, who is over from Oz, helping to care for her, and then had an email from her too, explaining the problems. Liztoo sounds in such pain and has been through so much, it sounds as tho it won't be long now, and I feel so bad she didn't contact her old mates and ask for support. If we had known we would have done anything we could to have helped her through. She does have a supportive father, and brother and s.i.l. here as well as her bro in Oz, who came over with his wife for three months, and left s.i.l. here, who will stay to the end for her.

Oh Rach, I am so sorry, I just saw your message about your auntie.
Condolences love, and chin up.

Thanks for the sympathy Kathy.... no one bothered.... boo hoo hoo ;-0(

Liz, Allan asked the other day if a wooden book rest would help... he would make me one, but it would be much easier for him if I could buy one... if you remember let me know.

I don't have the time to speak today, but I will be back later.
I'm off to watch Jimmy Stewart with Allan... Vertigo.
Must have seen it a dozen times, but I do like my afternoons with Allan in front of the tele.
Don't tell me to get a life please.... I love my life... but shhhhsh... don't let the gods hear us....

look after yourselves and I will speak later.

love, Deanna XXX

Rachxx

Just popped to wish you all well.


Not been on much since I came back to the boards.

Hang in there Gill, and to h... with those who chuck crap at you.

Take Care

xx

Gill, good for you for taking control of your health. I hope everything works out for you. I feel a bit concerned that you have left your surgery, how will you get your bp medication if you are not registered with a doctor. Maybe you need to find a new surgery asap as it might take a while to move.
Wish you luck,
Lizxx

Ann is around somewhere, she does have some nice hols tho so can't remember if she is away soon.

Hi Kathy, how do you keep your cool when you have silly billies come in, like those you mentioned.
Sorry I haven't phoned, been a bit hectic and today I was so tired, yet couldn't sleep. O.h. said go and lie down for a while, as I had asked him to sort out his own dinner and he was going to Chinese, I said I would get something for myself later from the leftovers from last night or whatever. I fell asleep at 8pm and around 10 was woken by loud music, he came up when he heard me in the loo bringing a cuppa, which I brought down again as I was starving.
He always says he will look after me if I am poorly but to date, when I haven't felt wonderful, he has only ever brought up cuppas, and never considered food!!
When I came down he was playing music really loudly on the computer, whichis in the kitchen/diner (no music centre, hifi, long story), but did he turn it down, no way and wasn't happy cos I said it had woken me, went up to see if it could be heard in the bedroom and came down muttering to himself. I watched tv news etc and daren't go back in to get food as he was in such a mood, he came out and said he was off to bed, as I got myself something to eat, and then sat and slept in the chair, snoring through the tv for nearly two hours, what a sight and sound, slumped there like a tramp. I think he had probably been drinking while I was asleep. I watched Love Actually which made me laugh out loud some times, but he just groaned and stirred and slept again, finally went up after complaining I was going to sit up all night! What choice do I have lol? Why would anyone in their right mind want to sleep next to a pig!
Really enjoyed the film, had the tears as well as the laughs and felt better for it, but realised how lonely I am here, and how awful his company, or lack of it, is. Wish he knew how unloveable he makes himself, in fact I wish I had a secret camera so I could film how awful he can be.
Mary-Lou, glad you got your prescription and feel you can cope now.
Hi Carole, hope you have a nice weekend, and feel happy now you have cupboards stocked up again. It's a good feeling eh?
Deanna, I have a wooden book rest, wish I could remember where I got it from, I find the same thing now, and cos of the fm, and my dodgy shoulders, I have a problem with newspapers, have to read them a bit at a time, ie. take the middle out and read the front and back pages where appropriate, put that down and then do the next 'pair' of pages etc etc.

Catch you all later, have a good weekend you'all, as someone in Dallas used to say, was it Sue Ellen lol?

Good evening all. What a horrible wet day again.
It was pay day, so at last I could go shopping and have some food in the house! Will have to be more careful this month and make money it last!

It's been really slow on the boards today hasn't it.

Did some gardening until it started to rain.

What you all been doing? x

Hello chaps
Thankyou to all who sent me PMs and posts i appreciate the advice and the kind words!
Panic is over, today i spoke to a different receptionist (who was very kind and understanding) and she managed to squeeze me a quick appointment, its so easy to get in a blind panic and not think it through!
because of my circumstances, I dont have a repeat perscription as a i have to go back every 30 days because of my past probelms taking an O.D (sorry i dont like to see the word) its very annoying having to trek to the GP every month but I suppose its better than them fobbing you of with a large supply of pills!
But all is calm now i have my tablets and can now enjoy and hopefully have a relaxing weekend.

Im sending you all a chunky hug!
Take care everyone and thankyou for your support!!
Louxx

Poor Deanna

All alone .If I hadn't been up to my neck with australians all day I would have spoken to you.

Some of these people are amazing they travel round the world to look for their ancestors and do they bring certificates that they have got or years of birth of course not they try doing it from memory !!! One of mine today was a Margaret McKay born ??? in Scotland ???
I tell them we hold a seance first sunday of each month with crystal ball optional .

Hope that made you smile :-)

At least it took my mind off my cess pit .I cooked smoked haddock last night so the house has an even worse smell today .

Hope you are all feeling better .Off to see Corrie

love
Kathy xxx

Hi Liz, am reading a book called;
*BIRDS WITHOUT WINGS*
by Louis De berniere.... (I think;-0)

The man who wrote
CAPTAIN CORRELLIS MANDOLIN.
Good book, but I find a problem holding up a hardback these days.
My chair is fixed though.... loverly juberly.
All set up for the weekend. ;-0)

Hope you all have a good one, and you all feel good too.
see you all when you 'come out of hiding'... tee hee....

lots of love all,
Deanna XXX

Hi Deanna, sorry love, have been asleep all afternoon, it took me hours, literally, to be able to get off to sleep, I think I really overtired myself.
Hope you are reading a good book, I escape into books when I am down, and usually can read myself off to sleep but that didn't work today either!
Have to go and eat now, o.h. is home early today :>(( - means more cooking! Might send him out for a chinese for him and I will eat the left- overs from my son's 'party' last night!
Won't be able to get back on here till he goes to bed.
Take care, hope someone else comes to say hello soon.
Lizxx

I'M ON MY OWN HERE!!

WHERE ARE YOU ALL?

Deanna X ;-0(

hello folks, where is everyone ?
Fed up today and here am I... all alone!
poor Deanna.... poor poor Deanna.....
Ach well if that didn't bring you all running.... I'm off to read my book!! ;-0(

Hope you are all well.
Deanna XX

evening everyone i too think off you all xxxxx

I am so stressed. This woman at work has really upset me. I have headache and feel sick all the time. I can't sleep at night, but sleep during the day. It gives me a break from the stress. Just had a soak in the bath, helped for a while. Why am I letting this get to me! She isn't worth it. I don't even like her!

Mary Lou, my chemist will give me tablets to cover the time I will have to wait. I'm sure yours will too.
They can see by your prescription how necessary they are to you.
Try it. x

Elaine I'm with Carole here, I think he is pushing himself... not unusual for a man mine are the same.
Also, everyone is different and will heal at a different rate.
Bless you both you have been through so much... just relax through it. x

Ann, who could NOT mention you?
You are one of my 'helpfuls'.. thank you. x

having problems just now and not too keen on telling them, as it would take too long for me.
please don't worry... they are not important, just that the way I (and many of us) feel, I just can't cope the same.

Tony had his first appointment with the cardiac nurse today. i cannot make a judgement yet, but I will say that he came back looking a little more positive than usual... so here's hoping.

Did any of you realise that when the doctors all 'change' their surgeries and join up with others .... that the councillors are going to have to become PRIVATE??
They do not want to, but the doctors are not going to pay for the counsellor's out of their budgets as before!!
So.... in my district... £40 per hour!
How many of us can afford that?

Jeannie not around today? XX

Well Deanna had better go. getting too weary sitting here.
Dont really know what is wrong... just not resting!!

Carole, I used to be like you and people walked all over me.... and I would apologise for being in the way!!
I learnt to stick up for myself when someone overstepped the mark one day.
I carry her shocked look in my memory.... it felt like a *gold cup*.

To all of you that i have missed, please remember that I do not forget you.. I just remember you one or two at a time throughout the day.

love Deanna XXXX

I'm so sorry things are not getting better yet. You can do nothing but hold in there! Frustrating for you.
I hoped he would be feeling some benefit now. Maybe I was too optimistic about how fast he would recover!!
It is still very early days though xxx
