Embarking on an adventure, you are welcome to tag along

Sandra, so you are no longer doing a Quasimodo.think you’re meant to wear it at the front!! Kanga as a DIL? shock, horror!! don’t want lucylastic for a DIL, that would make me about 95. Did Coby go for a swim then, hope he had his arm bands on! not saying ours is better as I’ve never seen it, let alone skated on it, never been on the big wheel either. I hope “the prince” is a handsome one. yes, it is coldup here but I will be sending it down to you so you can wear your snoods.
love to everyone

Carolxx

Carol Yes ‘the prince’ is very handsome, and you will look forward to your visits to him!!
As for Quasimodo…
Quasimodo goes to the doc and asks “Can you get rid of my hump?”
So the doc asks him to take all his clothes off. Quasi starts taking off his clothes, and he has loads of jumpers and jackets to take off.
As he is taking them off the doc says, “Quasimodo, when was the last time you took any of your clothes off before you put new ones on?” and Quasi says, “Not since I was at school.”
So the doc says, “Didn’t you ever wonder where your damn satchel had got to?”

Already wearing my snood! Arrived at school this morning, children running round playing, grandson says “grandma can l take my coat off, l am hot” Sign of old age me being so cold!! oh yes talk of being cold, got my winter fuel allowance today! £125 each, wont pay much towards my bills, winter ones are usually £350 plus but it all helps!
Time for bed, night all, sleep well
Hugs to tuck under your pillows

Hello everyone,
Have been reading your posts but not saying much. Finding rads very tiring, partly because I’m not sleeping very well because of swelling and soreness. Have had 11 done now, only 7 to go :slight_smile:
Had a busy weekend which was good. Daughter has been home from Germany, is good to see her recovering well.
glad to see Sandra and Heather back now,
hugs to all,
Gill xx

Hi Everyone,
I’ve been visiting, but too busy to post (!?!) What I mean is, I am feeling better. Dyed my hair with henna and I am trying to go wig free, but it is so cold. At the moment I am knitting myself a hat that I hope will suit me when I finish it. I could not find anything that “woa ed” me in the shops, at a reasonable price.
Kanga aka Kris aka knickerless, you hare very good at making us laugh, and you are very good at statements that touch me. “its not the beginning of something new, but the end of something horrid” That rings so true for me and gives me the freedom to not worry about the “something new” and “I want to grow old because I am not keen on the alternative” that one is so cool… sorry, probably showing my age. So we will forgive you if you don’t know how to hoover your modem.
Vickie, you can’t have Carol’s son and Matt, you have 3 boys at home already. So, where is Suze ? Is it so bad we slip to page 3 from time to time, K’s fault me-thinks, she is trying for a page 3 photo.
Carol, we are going to fight over your lad, I think. Hope the dizziness has gone.
Heather, I don’t think our limericks count as poetry, you will probably get thrown out of your class if you produce one for your poetry assignment !
Sandra, Are you having the prince ? I’m not, never had it or hiya teardrop either. So glad the christening went well
Gill, Really glad your daughter could come home so show you how well she is after her op. Is she staying long ?
Hugs to you all,
Maria

lovely dress, Sandra but where’s the baby, is he still in the font?
I need to check if our WFA has gone in but it’s a drop in the ocean, better than a poke with a rusty stick, though.I have instucted our financial advisor to start sorting out my pension so I hope to be a lady of leisure come January
Gill, sorry to hear you’re struggling with the hiya teardrop. I will be starting mine soon.
Maria, you look brilliant-yet another readhead,m I think I will have to dye my glam wig. no the alternative is definatley not an option
Kris now has a fourth name-Lucyelastic
Carolxx

Oh Carol, completely forgot about grandson, there was me thinking it was my day!! Anyway here are the family that it was all about! son doesn’t usually have that hair on his face, think l mentioned he was doing it for ‘Movember’ cancer!
Maria, brave lady colouring your hair and going wigless, soooo cold! still wear my little cap at night. Must make you feel normal!

Think l can hear the washing calling, “come and decrease me”!! so on with the iron and creases magic away! still got the iron my grandma use to use, place it on the fire and wait for it to warm up! must have taken hours getting the creases out of those cotton sheets!

Gill, Sorry you are having a tiring time with hiya teardrop, not many to go now, thought you were having 15? Must have been lovely to have your daughter home, has she gone back now? or is she home for christmas?
Hugs
Sandra xxx
PS. when l say l still have the iron my grandma used, meant to say l dont use it now!!! l have a magic one that you plug in the wall and it gets hot!! how clever is that! xxx

Woa Sisters ! I got a rap for you !

Oh Oh , luv me kangaroo,
yea man I really do .
When I get d´s flush,
Me body all blush.
But kangaroo , it got AC
Blow it out and it ice me .
Parking now don´t get me peering.
Cos my kangaroo , it got power steering.
Now i can turn on a centimos ,
You not got a kangarro ?
Well I don´t give a toss !

Now you have to do this rap style.Sort of like JLS meets IBS.
First , you have to have low slung trousers , or Primark knickers.
Then you have to have the stance .Legs apart and knees slightly bent . Boots essential , prefferably 70´s Doc Martin´s , cos rap is a bit like 2010 punk . Those who were´nt there first time round , this is your chance . Nell , motorbike boots are great .
Right , you move from side to side , lifting each leg up slightly in turn , if you have got IBS it could help, but if you have to go , then please don´t wait.
So you´ve got the leg movements , Now one hand you have to pretend your a male and clutch your parts , as if you´re frightened someone is going to grab you , and with the other let it hang loose a bit gorilla like .
There we go .Now who´s too old to be your DIL Carol . I tell you , in nice subdued lighting and a veil over my face , I could easily pàss for …oh , I´m sure I could do 40 .
Oh my god , My nose has grown !!.
Sorry girls have to go , see if I can find that old lamp , then I can have a wish for my nose to go back . Or failing that , perhaps I can borrow Sandra´s iron , thats so old it must have majical properties . I bet you do use it . You´re just pretending you´ve got a super dooper new fangled thing that ´s steam powered . You´ll be telling us next your car runs on coal !!
luvtoall
Kanga
Lucylastic ( I resent that !! )

Just wanna say, l is cr*p at the rap!
So Lucylastic, we fink you is fantastic!

Trousers round the ‘crack’ l can manage,
legs apart and knees slightly bent normal stance for me!
Can l wear my stiletto’s?
Can move from side to side, after a couple of glasses of wine!
OH might have to lift my legs!
Can l clutch someone else’s crutch?
Def. can do the gorilla bit!
Car runs by horsepower!! or one old donkey!
Hugs
Sandra xxx

Kris,

you have made my day. Laughed so much.

K x

LOL!! Kanga, you make me smile :slight_smile:

Have had a glass of wine, just need the primark knickers before I move from side to side with my bent, widely spread legs!!
Just need to practise my gorilla impersonation!!

We need to all get together and have a go. Kris will have to be at the front showing us what to do :slight_smile: Will have to get it filmed and put on youtube.

The Kanga Rap!!

Gill x

Kanga, what have you been taking…“trop cool”

I want some of what Kanga’s on. so you’re wearing the burka then. talkin of irons, well ironing boards, have taken my nearly 38 year old (was a wedding pressie)board to the tip as I have aquired a new second hand one from no. one son( the top totty one) with a cover that looks like a cow, there’s got to be a rap in there! Sandra you be careful who’s crotch you be gropin, you might get a nasty surprise!

Lucylastic
that’s fantastic

Hi Ladies,
Kriss, I love your rap I can just imagine what you would look like performing it. Thanks for the pm, tried to send you one back a few minutes ago and lost the lot so I thought I would come here instead!
I’m trying not to work too hard but it’s like I’ve never been away.
I’ve also got my 3 yr old grandson 2 days a week now.
Maria, your new hair colour looks great. Do you have any problems when you put the colour on, when I get mine coloured now my head really itches, could scratch my head too bits when the colour is first put on, I think it could be something to do with the reaction related to the Arimidex because another lady at my hairdressers is having the same problem, she is also on the same tablets.
Gill, take it very easy when you are on rads as it is very tiring, have a good sleep when you get home if possible, I slept for a full week at the end of rads and then I came back to life gradually, I do still get tired from time to time, so look after yourself.
I hope everyone else is well today, I think of you all every day even though I’m not always posting.

Hugs and Best Wishes,

Isabelle xxx

Thanks for the advice Isabelle. I’m surprised at just how tired I’m feeling. Am finishing on 1st December so am looking forward to getting my day back. Having rads between 12 and 1 each day doesn’t seem to leave time to get much else done. You sound busy, having your grandson two days a week. Enjoy :slight_smile:
Carol, have fun with your new ironing board :slight_smile: Haven’t seen one with a cow cover before!!
Maria, glad you are feeling better, it’s a good feeling!! My daughter went back to Germany this afternoon, she was home for 5 days so long enough to catch up. She certainly learnt plenty of German medical terms over the last few weeks!! She’s back at uni out there now and they sound much stricter on attendance than the English unis!!
Sandra, lovely christening photos. Glad it all went well, it must have been difficult for you all having a happy family meet up knowing that there is a funeral pending. I will be thinking of you and your family on Friday.
Heather, It’s good to see you posting again, hope the physiotherapist has given you some new exercises to help your ankle. I’ve been visiting the dentist too :frowning: Have got to have two fillings on Friday and also an operation to remove an impacted wisdom tooth in the new year :frowning: :frowning: Am dreading both!!
Jill. when I had all my family home at the weekend I made a lasagne and thanks to your post managed to put it all together correctly!!
Jackei, hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing holiday.
Hello also to Nell, Tina, Avril, Vickie, Karen, Tracey, lesley, and sorry to anyone I’ve forgotten.
Gillxx

Gill and Isabelle, more time under the duvet!! I’m a bit worried now as I have so many things planned for December-3 Christmas do’s, family meal out for OH birthday, party at home for same, am I going to sleep through it all??

take care

Carol

Hi Ladies,
One of those tearful days! One of the school Mums died yesterday (bc) thought she was doing ok! She has a little one of 5, bumped into him and his granddad today, I tried so hard not to cry! Doesn’t always work does it! did hide it from the children though.

Gill, sorry to hear you are feeling so tired, nearly at the end of hiya teardrop, so fingers crossed your tiredness will ease, l am sure the journey doesn’t help! I know Isabelle had a long drive to hers.

Carol, you reminded me l still have a sit down ironing board in my loft! Mil bought it before we got married,(1968) it was so good l never wanted to throw it out! I have one of these ironing boards that come out from a drawer in the kitchen, perhaps l should get it out, sitting and ironing sounds good to me!

Hugs and Love to one and all

Back to normal , well to whatever passes for normal with me .
Don´t know what came over me before , must be these higher dosage tablets !Not like when i stayed with my son in the summer and he had wacky backy plants growing in my bedroom ! Talk about “back to the sixties …peace man !”
Are the pictures of you in your christening outfit on Facebook then Sandra ? Never been on that . I think it would take me so long to navigate my way around that I would lose track of things . I never dseem to have much time , don´t know why , not working , or ñlooking after Gc like Sandra and isabelle , or even little ones like Vickie .I suppose what time I would have to myself , my OH is around so it can be difficult to do things on my own .
Tomorrow , I´ve got my doctor in the morning , followed by "Bums and Tums , " ( name of the class , not the people in it !) then the hospital in the afternoon to see the surgeon who is extremely pleasant , followed by a wonderful chocolate filled donut in the cafeteria ! That then is the last of my "end of term report " so to speak . Thrilled it´s now this year , rather than last year .A lady i know very well from the charity i work for , spoke to me the other day . her 12 months is up about now , and so she is having all these appointments , scans, mamas,X-rays etc . She said she hates it all , she just wants to forget all about it , pretend it never happened and not go . Honestly , I do not understand that mind set . Me , I want everything going for the rest of my life , if it protects me or catches anything quickly , wow , bring it on . In a way , she´s lucky cos she´s triple neg , so she has no pills to take , no s/e from them . Mind you , "lucky " is a relative word in BC .Lucky is not getting it .
I´m glad you had such a good day on Sunday sandra , such a dreadful shame you´ve Friday to come , especially I feel sorry for yourp poor mother , I understand her feeling she has to go , but undrstand her dread , no wonder she cannot sleep . At least when the funeral is over you can begin to heal .
What a lot some of you are having to face , what with looking after Gc , yes a joy , but also very tiring , jobs , other relatives going through cancer treatment , heart problems , more treatment to come ,children in hospital away from home , children away from home working , dental treatment …however , we are all here , and we´ve nearly made 200 pages ,all of us together , quite different people , different ages , different places we live , yet we´ve come together on here , and to me you are all my friends . I´m interested in you , your families , what you´re doing , where you´re going , how you´re coping . Get concerned when we don´t hear from you in a while . Really hoping that Avril is coping after her terrible news , Hope she stays with us and pops in , although I would imagine she´ll get a huge amount of support from other sections of the forum .
I tend not to bother too much with the other posts , it takes all my time to read these . So unless there is something else going on , that i think is relevant to me , I don´t bother , also , there are some places , i don´t want to go ! I did look in on the "mature post menopausal women ". Mmmmm … Well I know I´´m post menopausal , having past that at age 40 , but mature ? That implies a level of maturity I don´t think I´ve got to yet . When i get my blue rinse , sensible shoes and cardi , ok , but not now . Anyway , on this thread as in life , I prefer to mix with all ages , not just "my age ". Younger people and older people have all got something to say , a good mix is essential , and I believe we´ve got just that on here . While i agree that a younger womens forum is almost essential , as younger women , especially with small children like Vickie do need to talk to their peers as you do have "special needs " , older women , I don´t think do .Whether you are 45 0r 75 , whats the difference ? If both women have cancer , their needs surely are the same . We all have plenty to discuss .
Would´nt it be great if we could all get together and perform my rap , or anybodies really , What a sight . Could you just imagine Simon Cowells face if we auditioned for "Britains Got Talent "! On the other hand look at Wagner !! Say no more .
So am I Kanga or Lucelastic ?
Very confused ,luvKriskisskiss

Our posts crossed Sandra , Oh how awful , that poor child . Terrible for you as well , not suprised you cried , I would have been in floods as well .
luvKris

Hi Kanga
Selfish tears!! cry for myself too!! But we are all very sensitive!

Anyway you back to normal? not sure l like that!

Wacky Backy! good job it wasn’t raided! police would have thought your knickers round the ankle was your way of bribing them!

Yes photo’s are on facebook, my photo’s never came out very well! what an idiot had it on wrong setting!

I want a photo of you! have all sorts of pictures in my head about what you look like!! come on l will go through stage by stage, so get a photo sorted!

Hope docs was ok! and Bums and Tums! which is the biggest? oh and the surgeon! yes like you l want to see a doctor or surgeon as often as possible, in fact thinking about divorcing oh and marrying an onc or ever the bcn.
Still cant eat anything sweet! leaves a rubbish taste in my mouth.

Not sure l can agree about the lady being ‘lucky’ having no tablets! no matter what s/e you get it is hopefully a little more ‘help’

Yes we are all friends, all supporting each other through our ups and not so up days! and long may it continue!
I too get a bit concerned when someone hasn’t been posting, wondering if they are going through a worrying time and so on! but then again, l can understand sometimes people need their own space, and hopefully getting on with their lives.

As for Lucylastic or Kanga, not much difference is there?
