No church, FF, entire wedding and reception is in a pub - so Mendelssohn probably not appropriate. The girls are constructing a playlist on their phones to plug into the sound system at the venue. I’ll enquire what’s on it so we can arrange an accompaniment on the bells. 
Hahahaha JCJ you should have cracked jokes too, how mortifying for the poor trainee, obviously the red face gave the game away:smileyhappy:!! Poor thing hahaha.
Woo hoo scooby/booby doo:smileyhappy:.
Are you back on the van too?
Sounds like a good ending to a busy day yum yum!
Can you please let FF and I know which song we will be performing???
Cause we will have to start now to be absolute perfection for the big day, woo hoo!
Hospital letter arrived, knew it was my next lido letter so no tummy twirling, hurrah xx
Not back on the van because, thanks to the REACT trial I have TEN years of annual mammos and onc check ups, if I understood correctly (and remembered!) the bumf given me when I signed up for the trial. Which reminds me, I must have a look and see if anything has been published about that trial. I’d be interested to see if anything came of it. Though, it’s a long term project, obviously, if they’re following us for 10 years (and our medical records for longer - I signed that they can have access to mine indefinitely)
Full day at school. “3-weekly” supermarket shop (but the last time I went was before Christmas!) dinner in supermarket café (2 dinners out in a row! What decadence?! :)) Home. Shopping away. Flump back on to kn*****ed bench. Is it still only Tuesday? :smileyfrustrated:
PS bargain of the day in S******** supermarket tonight: 2 beautiful, ripe mangoes for 20p. Yes, 20p for both! Just because the sell by date was today. I cut them up, expecting to have to throw some away for composting, but they were perfect. I ate quite a lot while I was cutting them up. Delicious! But it’s fruit so it doesn’t count eh?
It’s lovely to indulge JCJ:smileyhappy:!!
Had forgotten you were “trialing” think it def makes things better psychologically having yearly mammos/checks, even though it’s nervewracking…
What will you do FF? Is it expensive?
Into town today for bits and bobs, instead of running around as usual I can be a little more leisurely, well at the moment anyway. Will be a good tester for feet as have not been out because of my back, hahaha, “whiney annie” that’s me…xx
Hope your feet held up for the trip to town and aren’t too sore now, Katy. Don’t know yet what I’m going to do but have time to decide. I’ve got this years mammo at the hospital, next year on the van and after that I’ll think more seriously about it. Research so far suggests about £250 for a private mammo. It will have gone up in price in two years time I’m sure.
School staying reasonably tidy so work not too onerous and not a lot else happening down here. Keep hoping for mild rainy weather as I feel better then…but tomorrows forecast is cold and frosty! Oh dear!
Go Andy, oops…Sir Andy!
That’s bonkers isn’t it, that medical records take a week to update, in the days of computers?! Do we use the same hospital, Ali? (GE)
I got home, today, to an NHS letter. Instant nausea. Then realised I was expecting my mammo appointment because I couldn’t book it on Monday; by the time I came out from surgeon appointment, the booking systems were closed down! Mammo booked for 2 March at 9:42am. Very precise, as ever!
Music for the wedding. I’m working on it.
Thought we could have a go at this too:
Though the lyric is perhaps not that appropriate: “send my love to your new love” for a wedding?! 
Loch Ness swim now 57% complete. Apparently, I’m at a place called Foyers.
Tonight, I was wishing I was actually in the Loch. The January “swimmers” (AKA stand around gossipers) were persistently getting in my way. Grrrr!
Get home, wanting to have a mugatea, dry my hair and fall into bed, but get a message from exec head, via a colleague. Could I do something urgently with the school website. Grrrrrr. Grrrrrr! Tempted to use a two word phrase which ends in ‘off’ or suggest somewhere the website could urgently be shoved, but didn’t dare risk it. So I made the required changes. Under protest.
So much for the stress-relieving benefits of swimming??!! :smileymad:
That letter arrived yesterday, no evidence of disease, woo hoo:smileyhappy:, sooooooooo quick this time big sigh of relief!!
Normal was nowhere on the letter??? So I assume I am normal hahahaha, hee hee!! Don’t need it in writing now hahaha:smileyhappy:! Or am I???
Aaah Ali how annoying, friend was passed from pillar to post regarding gynae issues which were ta"poxy"fen induced they are all resolved now but took a long time. At least a new jumper made a gloomy day happier, good luck with your next appt.
FF, you have a while before you have to make a decision, it is expensive but if it makes you feel “secure” it’s worth it.
JCJ, good job with the swim, don’t answer phone next time…
One big worry done, (not the mammo) don’t like being on the “constantly worried” bench:smileyfrustrated:!
Time for “moaning minnie” feet are STILL ouchy grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Off out for lunch today our favourite Italian, 3 courses, woo hoo xx
WeeeHooo booby doo! NED, Katy!! But definitely not normal! :smileytongue:
Sorry your feet are ouchy though. Plonk yourself on that CBA bench and rest them as much as possible.
Hope the weather didn’t get too cold, FF, so you don’t feel grotty. Cold, grey and damp here again today, after a lovely sunny day yesterday, which I saw virtually nothing of, as I was indoors at work from dark to dark! 
Barely strayed from the CBA bench myself today. Feet up on the (blue) tennis bench for a while - but only the highlights because we don’t pay extra for TV! Don’t give any spoilers away this week, FF! 
Oh! Oh! Oh! Look what I found Katy! Hump and Dink have kindly offered to be comfy slippers to soothe your poor feet!
Ok , JCJ. I promise no spoilers but …go Andy! I really hope he gets it this time. So many times the runner up! Love the camel slippers :smileyhappy:
Katy, so pleased you are are NED but I agree with JCJ definitely not normal, just you. Glad one worry off your shoulders, now, just put the camel slippers on your feet.
Had to go to school today as yesterday turned out far from a usual Friday. SIL’s mother taken into hospital again so had to collect GD from school. Sleepovers with her cousins and a panto performance were all planned and had to be re-sorted out at short notice. (Who’s taking who where/when/what /how/ feed them??) As a family we all “circle the wagons” when there’s a problem, so it was sorted. No grandchildren were disappointed . Whew! Fortunately it was a Friday, so when I rang school and said I wouldn’t be in but I could do it over the weekend, there was no problem there. Next week? Who knows?
It’s been cold and frosty but I’m pretty good, think the additional med is working better now I’ve changed the time of taking it. Looking forward to a rainy day though:smileywink:
hahaha girls, thank you, I think???:smileylol:!!
Love the slippers, will wear them all the time:smileyhappy:!
Glad you are doing ok with meds FF and this cold spell, we had snow this morning brrrrrrrrrrrr!
ED is going for her uni interview this week, keep your fingers crossed please.
Have been doing an early spring clean, just slowly but have done all the things I wanted to do woo hoo, managed to also iron 4, yes 4 things, am on a complete roll hahahaha. xx
A lovely lazy day. Sat on the reading bench for most of it. Now on the catch up tv bench. Tomorrow I’m going to look in the hairdressers mirror. That will be traumatic but I expect I will look better in MY mirror afterwards.
SIL’s mother still in hospital but no further dramas, so hopefully all will resolve well.
Fingers crossed for ED Katy but it’s far too early to spring clean. Not thinking about that until at least March!
How are you after looking in THAT mirror FF???
Bet you are as pretty as a picture:smileyhappy:!
What you been up to JCJ?
Had a quiet day today, well most of the weekend really, needed it haha!
Busy for rest of week and babysitting on Sat, GD so it’s pretty easy, the only thing is, she never stops talking…so my head will be buzzing, she’s some machine. ED always says the same about GD and I say to her “karma, my dear ED, karma”:smileyhappy: xx
(Cause she never stops talking either)
Pretty as a picture? Well, the picture I had in mind as I looked in THAT mirror was Munch’s The Scream! A lot better now, more Gainsborough! A lot more tidy and feeling a bit more like myself.
I know about talking machines Katy, I always said my daughter was vaccinated with a gramophone needle, as she never stops talking but that is now a real asset, 'cos if there’s ever any awkwardness she will always be there with a relevant comment :smileyhappy:
No dramas today, school reasonably tidy. Very foggy on the way home, good job I know the lanes like the back of my hand, 20 mph following the left hand verge.
No spoilers here JCJ but I’m sure you’ve seen, or heard the news.
Saw the highlights programme tonight, FF, and heard about Sir Andy and Dan. But GO JO!! I hope she blasts Serena off the court!! (fat chance??)
What have I been up to? Just the usual weekend procrastination followed by the usual trauma of having to go back to work on Monday. Atmosphere horrible at school at the moment while we await THAT report. Management are extremely jumpy, so it’s likely to be a long, stressful term!
Read some brilliant bargain books on my kindle though. And spent HOURS doing electronic jigsaws on my Hudl. Like I’ve nothing better to do?? Also knitting a pink baby blanket to use up some of my sister’s wool. I’ll probably sell it on Mr Futon’s website in aid of BCC or Macmillan.
Um…Girls…Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, meet Pot. I seem to remember WE ALL managed to do a fair amount of blathering - 2 whole days virtually non-stop - 4 years running! I wonder where your daughters got there loquaciousness from??
Stopped on the way home from work to buy the milk for the staffroom. As I put my purse back away, I saw a folded piece of paper in my handbag. “What’s this rubbish?” Oh. The form for free prescriptions that I had to fight to acquire! Forgot all about it. In my head, I’d completed that task, just by getting the form. It’s now filled in and waiting to be posted tomorrow. Ooops!
I can see how you were led astray there JCJ. But daughter talks non-stop all year and I only talk for two days. :smileytongue: She actually gets it from her Dad, after I said “I do”, I don’t think I got another word in edgeways :smileywink:
Foggy all day here, journey home from school took twice as long as usual, being very careful but it’s not too bad on the single track lanes as there’s hedges on both sides. Thinking about it I’ve spent forty odd years in the countryside so I’m pretty used to it.
Eldest GD had an accident at work (not her fault!) and had to go to A&E to see if her foot was broken. Fortunately it’s not, just badly bruised. She can’t walk at the moment, on crutches for a couple of days or so.
SIL’s mother still in hospital, no better but no worse, more tests.
Hope all is well with GD, FF, sounds ouchy, what a shame. Also hope sons mil ok too.
Did you post prescription thing JCJ?
Been on the “too busy” bench am taking bad with that…
ED had her interview yesterday, 3 hours, gone from over 1000 applicants, whittled down to 400, for only 180 places, just the waiting game now.
No fog here just cold xx
Forgot to say I think it maybe me that non stop talking malarkey hahaha! x
