Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Blimey Marley, 30 little girls in a pool going mental, sounds like chaos to me.

I've had an offer of help from a lady with a van who is going to come over and help me tackle the nastiness with Darren while i overlook the proceedings! All this and shes happy to be paid in cakes and cookies :D

So happy days! On the other hand, i'm having a tough day on my legs right now, can't seem to hold myself up so i'm sort of crawling/dragging/leaning my way around the house until my appointment later at the doctors for the stick to come out!

Then later, we have a friend coming over for movies and a curry [i've saved points from WW :D ]

So much much fun. :D

 

Good morning everyone,

Its coooold here and calling for a snow storm to start here around supper hour, supposed to get up to a foot of snow!!

 

Morning all went to bed pretty early last night I think it was 6.30 never done that before!

Marley I dare bet it is so much fun having that pool party I'm pretty sure the adults will enjoy it just as much as the girls!

Whiley you have indeed been blessed for that lady to help you out although how are you going to manage seeing her eat all those lovely cakes!

I hope you can get sorted out at the doctors Whiley not much fun when you have to struggle to get about but as Marley says your a fighter girl.

Penny it's pretty cold here too but I dare bet it's not a patch on your weather....hope your heating keeps you warm enough.

Bob's hospital trip wasn't too good they are not happy with his blood pressure.

We were also shown a chart of Bob's kidney function he started getting treatment 12 years ago and it was at 60% now it's down to 25% we thought that was pretty good but sadly it's not the case. The doctor said within 5 years Bob could very well need dialysis unless we can control his blood pressure.

Controlling his b/p is not an easy job to do as some drugs he has to take to control the disease actually do his b/p harm he has now got to take water tablets to try and help lower the b/p. I hope they work for him his first set of tablets made him really ill and he had to stop taking them, the other set gave him huge lumps all over his head!

The doctor thinks Bob has had a touch of pneumonia or pleurisy which was causing his pain last week as he found something in Bob's lung when he gave him the once over but he doesn't seem concern over it but we will keep an eye on it just in case it returns.

Fingers crossed the water tablets will work for Bob, on the plus side he will be able to get a feel of what it's like for us ladies when we are pregnant with rushing to the toilet at high speed and fearing with will not make it! :D

Morning Helen and Woo, looks like Bob needs some tlc Helen (i'm sure he gets it)looks like you're in night shift mode you will be tired by lunch time,Woo a hit and a kick for being so quick, have a safe day everyone.

 

Good morning to all the early birds :D

Shiney,I know what you mean about paperwork though for us all ours is,is Mortgage statements and household bills.Hope your holiday down under went well

Helen,Mr Kandy was put on Diaretics to control his high BP but luckily he wasn't flying off to the loo all the while.After quiet a few years on them our new Doctors in this village have taken him off of them and now he takes beta blockers which have helped bring down his BP but he still has to take them.He also has to have a Kidney function test done every six months.He isn't overweight either so it must have been his stressful job that brought it on. :eek:

Good luck with Bob,it sounds quiet nasty what he has and then poor old you with your back problems.Good luck to both of you and hope that everything turns out ok

They were saying on the TV the other day that 700 people a day are appyling to live in Australia and New Zealand and are desperate to get the brits over there.I think I will do what the couple on the TV were doing and apply as a gardener like them,and then I will be able to get a skills visa...Anyone care to join me :D

Mr Kandy has fitted a new card into the side of the laptop and done some fiddling,like he always does and now I seem back up to speed..Lots of catching up to do though....

Enjoy your day everyone in all you do and I hope the weather is kind to you...

Hello again all.

Walnut I nipped back to bed after a couple of hours and of course feeling better for it and yes Walnut Bob get's plenty of care I just wish he took things a little more easy.

Welcome back Shiney piles of work is without doubt far better than piles on your bottom...sorry just couldn't resist it! :D

Kandy Bob is unable to take beta blockers the doctor mentioned them yesterday but he didn't explain why Bob can't have them just that Bob can't have them.

If so many people want to live in New Zealand and Australia one would thing that in no time at all both of those lovely places would be over run by yobbos just like this country, surely those countries can't stay nice forever.

Thank goodness Mr.Kandy has sorted you out (oh my goodness that doesn't sound very nice) it's always handy to have someone in the family who is able to fiddle about with computers etc. and save you money in the process.
Helen.xxx.

 

morning, woo,walnut,helen,shiney,kandy,marley and everyone.
welcome back shiney hope you had a great holiday, i,m still jet-lagged after my hols trying to get back into our time zone with losing 5 hours.
helen hope you both take care nd hope everything is ok.
kandy yes i will join you but we have to find something a bit easier than gardening with our back problems :eek: :D :D
have a great day everyone, hoping for a bit of snow today so that i can get out and try this new camera of mine.

 

Helen,there was an article on Richard and Judy the other night and some chap on there said that there are plenty of jobs for people with skills.I expect that like over here in this country people don't want to work.There was a young couple on the proggrame who are going over there as he is a Gardener so will go on a Jobs skill Visa,or whatever it is called.His girlfriend isn't into the gardening side but she can go as well.It has taken them 19 months to go through the process though.

My late young brothers daughter has just come back from spending a year in Australia and she loved it so much she is seriously thinking of going there for good,but can't make her mind up what to do.I wrote and told her to go as there is nothing for the youngsters in this country unless you have a degree,but those who have a degree have no experience,so they can't win either way.

I can't see Australia getting overrun for a few years yet looking at the size of the country...

I already have one niece who has sold up and gone with her husband and two kids because they could see there is no longer any future for people in this country unless you are a Doctor,Dentist Politician,or have a successful buisness etc...

Sorry to hear about Bob.Mr Kandy's sister developed high BP aged 29 after the birth of her second child and has been on them for years,whereas their parents didn't develope it until they were quiet elderly...

Mr Kandy works in IT all day long so it is handy to have someone to be able to sort it,but it has taken him two weeks to get to this computer to have a look at it.He doesn't like dealing wiht computers when he gets home from work,he likes a rest from it. :rolleyes:

 

Morning Rosa I will crawl round on my hands and knees if they would take me,though I don't think my poor fair skin would tolerate that heat so it would have to be NZ instead :D

Hope you get some good photos with your camera and have a good day

 

Rosa,I have just read Shineys post,so it looks like it will be OZ then for us both as we are still youngsters slightly over 40 :D have relations living over there and quiet easily have over 800,000 pennies so sunshine here we come :D :D :D
