Welcome Sue, glad to have you on board, I like the dogs.
Sandra, I’ve got plenty of snow, I had to clear the drive 2 mornings in a row, do you want some?
Dee, sorry to hear about your complications, I do hope you feel better soon.
Karen, I’m happy for you and your man in the bed, will he be there again soon ? Hope you are OK these days
Carol, I have always made lists and had a diary, but I tend to loose them or forget to check them, so they don’t help much.
Love Maria x
Hi everyone
sue, lovely to read your post. You sound like you’d fit right in on this thread as we too have scared many other people off. Personally, I blame kanga, such a scary lady, but don’t tell her I said so cos she’ll gangsta rap me. Yes some help with thread position maintenance would be greatly appreciated as this lot leave a lot to br desired. They seem to positively thrive on being on page three, Karen particularly.
No snow here yet sandra but expect it by morning. It’s freezing and there’s been snow in Leeds city centre today which is just over the hills. I have my snow boots ready though and cars been serviced…
I will be thinking of you and your family tomorrow, such a sad difficult day for you.
Carol, what a fun night on the m60 and M56 you have in store. Hope you get home in time for breakfast.
Dee, oh no! Blummin eck, ( or more colourful language!) hospital, poor you. Well after thr next one every day is s day you are getting better to be better. Hang on in there, you are doing do well. Xxxx
well I have been Christmas shopping with mum
today and went to Manchester Xmas markets. Over the last week or so I have spent a small fortune. First on my two auburn pretend hairs and then on many new clothes to go with the auburn hair. Totally different wardrobe needed for redheads. Oh well, I do love my new zara cardie/coat!
Off to make tea now. My three year old son is currently driving me insane, he is trying to show me that he is boss, and I’m trying to show him I am
boss. I think he is winning.

He susie and Kenzil, welcome to this fantastic thread. You will have a great time because through a lot of sad times we try focus on the happy ones if we can. Our lovely Maria gave us this thread for our journey and we are not travelling alone no more. So any ranting shouting crying laughing, it is all allowed her. look forward to your posts.
Karen, a man in bed ? I am puzzled, I am jealous though of your Take That Tickets, me and my daughter keep trying.
Dee, sorry you have not been well, glad your at home now. Take care and keep warm, and keep off your silver dream machine till summer.
Isabelle, sorry your feeling so tired, I really dont know how you are managing work and grandchildren, please take care. Love your new pic and your yummy TB lol it looks very nice.
Carol, welcome to the pension bus, I am a bit confused about you being Kanka’s MIL, will have to read posts back properly to find out what I have missed.
Jill, glad you have had no more disasters with the cooking, I did something like you the other day, put the washer on then went out of the kitchen, went back in later and the container with the washing liquid in sat on the side. I thought of you lol I have got beetroot to boil so I will try not to copy you this time.
Kris aka Kanga, hey thats a great name for a rapper, loved your rap, I think you have got a picture of me going to the loo lol
Vickie, I will have a look at your thread, I think I made you a friend on face book. I haven’t been on for a few days, I will try and look later. Now who was it that is going to be hubby number 3 ? I can remember Matt but I am sure there is another man around, cant think what you are going to be like after you have been to see Take That. Oh I love the pic of your little star, he is lovely.
Gill, not long now and rads will be done, I bet you cant wait.
Maria, hair colour looks good, it is great when you dontr have to waer a wig isn’t it. I could have made you a hat, but with my knitting disasters it would have been big enough to fit all over you lol
Tracey, hope your nice and warm under your duvet, stay there its to cold to come out.
Saffron, hope your feeling ok, think your on Arimidex, hope it is going ok.
Jackie, hope you having a good time on holiday where ever you are.

Hello Ladies,
A few weeks ago my doctor started giving me phased return to work sick note, I am still getting them from her. Only problem is that I don’t have a set hours contract at work even though I’ve been there for 19 years. Because of that I’ve lost all of my sick pay and mortgage insurance, so even if I’d only gone back for 1 day a week I would still have lost all of my sick pay ect. Sods law or what? That’s why I’m back at work as normal, if I get too tired I will just have to go back on the sick altogether.
That is why I’ve had to go back to work as normal, I have lost 3 of my clients while I’ve been off so I’m not doing as much as I was before bc. I have decided not to take any more work on for the present time, but I have been roped into having my youngest grandson for 2 days a week instead of 1 until after Christmas,( he is loverly as well as lively) then I might slow down a bit more.
Nell, sorry to hear you’ve been back in hospital, I hope you are settled back home now, take care , hugs and best wishes xxx
Sandra, thinking of you, I know you wil be glad when tommorrow is over. Big hugsxxx
We have had a little bit of snow here today, bracing ourselves for worse to come. We are high up here and it’s all on the hill tops, we are surrounded by the Pennines and the Lakeland Fells and there is a good covering of snow on both.
Best Wishes to all,
Isabelle xxx
Here is some snow for you. Unfortunately I have to clear the drive of the wretched stuff before I can get the car out. Done it 3 days this week already. Finished my hat, but it is a bit small so I am knitting another one.
Isabelle, I am sorry you “HAD” to go back to work, things are so unfair sometimes, I hope you mange a compromise soon. I don’t have the joys of grand-kids yet but I suppose one can never say no.
Karen, Wow…what more can I say. Your son sounds like mine, he would say the same thing, something lovely and then something to bring me back down to earth.
Heather, hope OH is bearing up OK.
Vickie, you are mad, with all your posting just to get to page 200 .
Well girls we did it; 200 pages in 6 months
THANKYOU, what a godsend our thread has been
Hugs Maria
PS Darling buddies of May are on about page 212, so we are not doing badly, but Storm riders are on page 800 odd…
Thank you so much for the lovely welcome ladies, it really warmed my cockles! Not that they need much warming. I reckon that Tamoxifen should be marketed as having similar properties as ReadyBrek – keeps you just as warm and toasty but with less washing-up! The heating bills in my house are going to be a lot less this winter however cold it gets.
Anyway, I digress. Just popped in to say how much I like it on this wonderful thread so if you don’t mind, I’ll be sticking around.
Sue xx
Maria,
your comment about the other threads made me think and , always the analyst, decided to see how well we are really doing !!
Storm riders started on 5/2/09 and up to page 843 pages which makes an average of 1.27 pages a day
Darling buds started on 1/1/09 and up to page 212 which makes an average of .305 pages a day
You started this brilliant thread on 8/5/09 and we are up to page 200 which makes an average of .99 pages a day
So although storm riders beat us we are number 2 and if Vickie decides to post like she did to get to page 200 we will soon overtake them !!!
You are probably now thinking I am very sad but hey ho
Love and hugs to all

llo, ladies. had my RADS planning today .it was OK but my head spun as I got up, that’s with lying flat so had to sit in the waiting room for a while before I could drive. thenI went into the Gardencentre and told my boss I wasn’t going back when my sick note ran out. I also found out 2 coleagues had also handed in their notice, one a year older than me (she’s retiring) and one a year younger, she’s resigned after one row too far with my boss. I think he was releived as he is anxious to get some new blood in there. I think I have mentioned on here that he has no idea how to deal with staff and shouldn’t be a manager. he is also my daughter’s boyfriend and I hope I will feel more comfortable with him when I no longer work for him. well enough of that.
no snow here yet, but cold enough, like your picture, Maria.
Sandra, hope today wasn’t too harrowing for you and your family.
Isabelle, that’s rather a messy situation for you, seems you have a lot on your plate. I have no GC and none in the pipeline.
Karen, love your picture, you look very elegant!
Denise, hope you’re feeling better now, what a worry!
hope all you ladies are keeping warm, under the duvet or otherwise
Carol
xx
will this make page 201???
no, still p.200
Hi Carol, my photo is a view from my balcony, well done for handing in your notice, that is worth a celebration !
No Karen, you are not sad, just beautiful and not yet 50 !!
Glad you decided to stay, Sue.
Quality not quantity, anyway. You can do anything with statistics. How many are we ? how many of them?
If anyone from those threads is reading this, I do hope you realise this is pure banter, cos we are all rather mad, somewhat sad, but realy not bad.
Hugs to every single one of you one this site.
Maria x
