That was quite a read!!!

I had to Google that handy - hope it's not too bad and happy it's nothing worse. Next time we have cake we'll have carrot cake. Healthy, innit.

A busy day beckons and I'm still in bed so for now greetings from very sunny Gdansk and up I get....

Ugh - thanks for that , KJ - not. I should have known better really. Glad to hear things are not as bad as you feared, Handy , but you still need to take care.

I quite fancy sunny Poland. It could be very relaxing and my hormones are shot because I am a lady of a certain age and I can cry today for nothing!

I am just about staying sane on the thought that this play will be over by this time next week. our music dept. are ramping up for the performance but I fear their endless repeats to get their sound right is too much for the kids. If our radio mikes don't work they will drown out the singing - and that's what the parents come for - to see their kids.

Hope you are better today me@. Love and hugs to all.

yes me hope u are better

and Handy, diverticultis is shite,,,,but better than some of the alternatives

Soz Amica, yes poor handy, but well, thought it would lighten the mood. Biffo is a funny chap.

Morning grumpies up again at stupid o'clock clock thanks to cat grrrrrrrrrrrr
Handy hope all good after test not nice but needs must
Amica good luck with the play
Bats safe journey home try and relax
Twingle hope tablets are kicking in
Me@ hoping your feeling better love and hugs
Have a good day all
Plum pop your head in and let folk know all is good
Love hugs and vibes to all, it's FRIDAY

Aw Handy had that done years ago and you know how ditzy I am . I had those bomb laxatives then went out to a nightclub with a friend. .drinking only water .........Mega big mistake! The same friend took me to Watford for the procedure next day but it was St Albans !! Lucky they phoned across and the grumpy bloke waited for me and was pretty horrible to me grumbling about western diets as he did the thing (He looked Chinese) !!

Anyway both parents had/have it (not much hope for me ) and can be controlled by diet and avoiding your trigger for flare ups . You need fibre to stop you getting constipated but then too much and you are in trouble but you will get it sorted . (Mega BIG HUGS)

Toe saga and some good news. I was given a swab kit but somehow the pus has dried up and luckily hadn't started the antis so think have finally turned the corner and upped the salt water baths. I just need to remember and rest it loads which is frustrating when you have 6months back log of stuff to do

Hope everyone is delighted it is Friday and the week end and you all have a nice one with no hassle or stress

Healing vibes to those who need them .sad dog, LL and Me and anyone else

Mwah

Oh I remember that thread, it was hilarious and kept me entertained for days

Thanks for all the messages, guys! I need to see my GP but will wait till the hopickle have sent the notes back through; I'm just glad that (a) I know what it is and (b) it's not one of the several much nastier alternatives!

KJ, no offence taken - I loved Biffo's enema thread

Twingle - eek!
Good news about the tootsie, though - keep resting it!!!!! Do sitting-down stuff. or shut your eyes!

Amica - shows are a ball-ache! It'll be alright on the night, etc etc...

Here, it's Friday, Melony is at Brownies, and I'm knackered...

evening weekend grumpy peeps
just had thunder and downpour of biblical proportions

Oh I miss those. Living up here you get a rumble and that's it. I now realise living with mum how scared she is of so many things. Strange when she has such a strong faith! My only fear is flying but I do it and can't have got that from her as we never flew anywhere as children. Holidays were caravans or cabins in the lake district

Happy Saturday one and all and I think have cracked the trust issue with the little kitten. I am stroking him and he likes under his chin tickled. Big one will take a lot longer meanwhile they are wrecking the house! Came down the other morning to find the bottom step carpet off Anyone know if I need carpet glue or tacks to put it back on ?

Happy Saturday all

Well, if you ever fancy a batty trip, Sad and I are oft to be found buggering off to Warsaw. I can't promise a relaxing time, though. Right now I'm plotting to drag her off to a Polish wedding, and these can be epic and go on for days. This one should be slightly tamer as it's the second time around for them both but I fully expect that we'll need a quiet lie down for a few days afterwards anyway.

Good luck with the play.

And great news about that toe twingle. And the pussy cat(s).

And to you too!

Yay for little kitty - big one might follow along now if you're lucky.

I would tack the carpet - the glue will just stick to the floor and rip the back off your carpet next time they haul it up. Cos you just know they will!

Stopped raining here, finally. Might venture outside...

Evening grumpies
Daft question does anyone know about maxathon cloud base browser? KJ, Me@?
The computer shop put it on and took Firefox off the computer.
Hope all good same old same old thankfully.
Love and hugs

Morning grumpies
Oh the joy of an alarm clock that you can't switch off

I hate tricky alarm clocks LL. And Batman's habit of putting his on snooze then getting up and going off somewhere, leaving me to find it when it goes off again.

But nothing like that happened this morning.

We've no plans for the day, which is lovely. I found a new bike route yesterday so might go off to explore that some more. If it stays dry that is.

another soggy day her

Is that the mew type? I feed my two last thing before bed just to stop them waking me at 5am . Unlike babies it seems to work

Sorry haven't a clue re pc's you know am useless with technology. Just bought a fitness watch (need it for lungs as exercise best thing for it) and can't get the dam thing synchronised with pc or phone but have it working on wrist and surprised to discover I average about 750 steps an hour even with restricted toe and just pottering round house

Bats I envy you your travels. Not sure I will be back traveling now with mum not fit for me to leave but least family coming over here more.

Hope all well and having a stress free day . Amica hope the play goes/went well

Snowy, Sad, KJ , Melon and Me having a good day?

Right off to get some more steps in

No twingle can't blame her today its was the birds heard like a shot and then all the birds started hopefully not someone poaching but you never know.

Bats would love a trip to Poland if only the mind is willing but the body can't
twingle keep walking you go girl you go we are all behind you go go go
Amica good luck with the performance it will be worth all the hard work
right better move also, morning has gone where to I have no idea have a good day all.

Hell yeah! Tell me when...

So the young friend I offended last week re tv and looking fatter has deleted me from facebook and changed her name and added back all the old crowd except me . To say I feel gutted is an understatement but I will get over it.

I haven't messaged anyone of the crowd to explain as I know I was in the wrong and not sure what she has said.

Good grief I feel like am back at school . Onwards and upwards eh

Now maybe I should insult one of here and see if you are true friends or not

Go on then I have broad shoulders
I am in the same boat but hay ho leave them too it
No idea where the day has gone but getting old is cr@p

Aw Laura, I can't imagine you hurting anyone even unintentionally

But I agree getting old is crap

Thank you for those kind words twingle, me I call a spade a shovel shoot from the hips.
You only comment on your friend she will need a thicker skin than that
if she wants to get ahead in the media silly bint, it wasn't done deliberately
let her get on with it best way no good beating yourself up over it.

No go walking go go go it will clear your head.

Twingle - what LL said - your so called friend is a very silly cow.

Hope the toe is healing still; LL I hope you're okay too; me@ I hope you're also in less pain and HM I had no idea since I've not been on DS all week, you ratbag - I'm so glad it wasn't anything worse and hope it's easy enough to control now you've identified it.

Plummie - we're waiting for you to sign up to Facebook and show us pics but I guess you're probably waiting to get the internet first

Yup, the Bat is a Very Bad Influence. A Polish wedding sounds vaguely terrifying and fascinating in equal measure. And doing 'smart' on cabin baggage alone is going to be a challenge...

So on Friday I was delivering a workshop at a university study day and next week's highlights include a day trip to a local park/stately home with a groups of young adults who have autism... oh and a mammogram on Thursday - no rest for the wicked.

And reading back through the posts I have missed this week I'd say we are all getting to That Age So enjoy every day Grumpies

Sad good luck with your week I am sure you will get though it with vim and vigour
