Gina has she  given you a diet sheet ?  and  will be getting you up an  hour earlier?

when is your holiday?

[ginap.123]

I'm normally in the gym at 6.30am before work, going to meet about diet on wednesday morning although most of my meals are low fat (chicken, lean ham, prawn salads) so she wasn't to bothered about my diet, she's going to look at what I'm able to do as I can't do high impact (to many knee ops) & currently still having to nurse my foot.

Stan, Danielle is absolutely beautiful.  I've said many a time on here that I absolutely love babies.

Good luck at the gym Gina.  I hope that you reach your goal before you go away.

Rainy...

Just had an email from one of my cousins who lives in South Wales.  Her parents also live in South Wales.  They've discovered today that my auntie has got cancer of the throat, stomach and bones.  She's in one hospital in Swansea where she'll be staying for a few days to have more tests and then transfer her over to another hospital nearer to where she lives.  The problem is my uncle.  He had his hip replacements replace about three or four years ago.  He was given tramadol which he had an adverse reaction to.  He is convinced that he will never walk again and he has the attitude that there's nobody as ill as he is.  Just hoping that this brings it home to him that there are people who are in a worse condition than he is.  They have six children and it's the eldest one who keeps in touch more than the others.  Just thinking that there's not much hope.  

[captainbovine]

that's very sad news Chris, both my parents died of cancer of the bones.

Ooooh see I told you keeping everything crossed for you may just work!!!

I'm really chuffed for you xxxx

aawww Stan, how cute is Danielle?...well very cute hactually

[stan3502]

Sorry about your news books , but hopefully this at least may bring the family together .

Well bubs back home all fed and fresh.................... would you believe it she even slept through her bath 

bet work was a shock to the system again CB after your hols and when are we gonna get some more garden pics it must look wonderful at the moment ??

Just trying to get Kaysha and Alesha to shut up at the moment as they are bouncing on the bunk beds playing at being Minions squealing like little banshees , think they forget that I'm not at the pub anymore and I'm not the pushover that Grandad was when it came to bed time ............................. well that's what I like to think anyway but they may well prove me wrong . 

[captainbovine]

we only had 6 days off Stan but it was still a shock to go back to work, it just kills me hooves ya know.

Yes, I must take a couple more of the garden, I found some taken when we first moved in a year ago, I can't tell you how it's changed .... I know now why I'm so pooped hahahahah. If the weather is nice tomorrow I'll take the camera out although I think I've missed the boat as some of the flowers are over now.

[bitsnknots]

Thanks for your kind wishes.  I'll probably know more in the next few days.  My uncle has also emailed but his head's all over the place which I can understand.

I can understand why your hooves are bad CB.  My broken toe is feeling a lot better.  It's just a pity that both ankles - including the one I haven't got, hips and knees are bad.  Honestly, do you think that you could get a good body out of the pair of us?  I doubt it.  

[stan3502]

I pity your poor hooves CB they must take a right pounding up and down them aisles especially when their not in tip-top form anyway

[bitsnknots]

BTW, CB.  I see your employers are in trouble over strawberries at a store in the midlands.  Norty norty.

[cat-knitter]

So many poorly people  Life is so cruel to some 

Stan your grandchildren have beautiful names & that pic is brilliant, the fact that she managed to sleep through a bath amaze's me
I've just got Imogen put to bed, I thought she was never going to get tired but she napped earlier this evening before I managed to give her some tea so has been awake all night

I've had her to myself since yesterday morning because Mum & Dad have gone over to collect the keys for the flat & move a car load of stuff & visit her poorly Nan in hospital, sadly she's another cancer patient who was in remmision untill 2wks ago ........ Imogens been so good though & she even slept for almost 12hrs last night without waking

[bitsnknots]

Morning all.  Sorry to hear about your family member - well sort of - whose got cancer CK.  My mum was one of six but three of them have died - all with cancer.  It's the wife of the youngest one who has just been diagnosed with cancer.  On a lighter note, I bet you were glad to have Imogen all to yourself yesterday.  I know I would be.

Must go now as I have to get ready for my swim and then I have to be in town for 10 this morning.  

See you all soon and hugs to all that need them.

[cat-knitter]

I loved having her to myself Books, a whole two days & one night   they got back at two this morning so I've had to give her back now   Its Imogens Mummy's Nan thats ill ........... I've not met any of her family though ..... they never visit 

[stan3502]

Afternoon all.

Wow 12 hrs is a good sleep through CK and bet you're loving having Imogen all to yourself.

10 years today since my Dad passed away and I still miss him so much, was a lot closer to him than I am my mum and could always rely on him for good advice and a hug when needed

Thinking of Rainy especially today ((((((((((((((((Carol)))))))))))))))))

[**waspy**]

chris i feel for you and all the family it is a very cruel and devastating disease, i have incurable cancer at one point i was given months to live but its amazing what they can do these days im now in remission, but how long for nobody knows,  

[bitsnknots]

(((((Waspy)))))  Hope that you carry for many more years to come.  I've not heard anything else from my family in South Wales but one of my cousins has said that she'll let me know more as soon as she does.

Managed to get to mow the lawn this afternoon.  It's the first time I've mown it for a good few weeks.  The grass didn't grow much with all the hot weather last month and it had dried out enough after all the rain to mow.  At least it looks better now.

Off out for the day tomorrow with 80 pensioners.  We are going to Llandudno.  When we get there, we will be having a three course meal at a hotel after which, we'll have about three hours to do what we want.  I'm looking forward to it.  If I'm lucky, I might get my outfit for Steph and Graham's wedding next month.  Mum's after a new outfit as well.  We shall see.

[captainbovine]

well I hope you enjoy your trip out tomorrow Chris, you're coming to my country!!!! I'll arrange some nice weather for  you. xxx

thanks for the sympathy over my hooves peeps, gawd yes they do hurt me so much but I have to keep going until Nov then it's op #2.

Oh yes the strawberries we've all had a good laugh at that, serves them right!!

[ilove2patch]

They are not even nice strawberries! lol They are solid & tasteless.
