I am very relieved with the outcome of my mammogram. Think we have started to see real changes now in the house. Plasterers finished Tuesday, internal doors and radiators arrived yesterday, radiators been fitted today. We are having wood floors everywhere and they started on those yesterday, after that they start the wet room. We have had workmen here every day for four weeks so far I will be glad to get our house back. Then it all starts again at Easter, conservatory coming down and a proper extension going up and opened up between kitchen and new extension. Lots of work but we are future proofing the house, wider doors and opening it all up for me because we know eventually I will be a wheelchair Michelle

I have just been catching up with all the posts, we all have lots going on don’t we? Following my second mammogram last week I had a telephone call from radiographer, all is good and no further treatment required other than another mammogram in December. On the dog front, she had a check up at the Eye Hospital in Penrith yesterday, all is going well, another check up next week. The vet will be booking a Caribbean cruise out of what we have paid out so far!!! Have a good day everyone Michelle

Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down Avril, we are all here for you to have a chat and support you. It sounds like Frank is getting excellent treatment and hopefully he will be home soon. Michelle

Hope you are feeling ok after your fall and don’t have too much bruising Michelle

Blue Monday by New Order is one of my favourite tracks, I still have it on 12” that I bought in the 80’s Michelle

I am sure with your determination you will lower your cholesterol with diet alone, you seem a determined lady Josy Michelle

How frustrating for you. I will keep my fingers crossed you results are good Michelle

Good morning everyone, hope you are all ok on the first “normal” Monday of the year. I was awake too for a couple of hours during the night thinking about our house and all the work and about our dog. It’s a beautiful sunny day here but cold. I am picking my mum up soon and going for a wander into St Annes Have a nice day everyone Michelle

She is doing really well, check up Weds morning in Penrith. Thank you for asking Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. It’s a lovely day here, clear blue sky but cold. We have just had a walk out with the dogs on the sea front, now warming up with a nice cup of coffee. Not doing much this afternoon apart from a pile of ironing. My mum is coming for tea tonight. Beef stifado with orzo pasta in the slow cooker. Michelle

We love our new house, still lots of work going on. Plasterers coming Monday and floors going down Weds-Friday. We had tea and cake without new neighbours yesterday, they are lovely Michelle

You are a really sociable person so I think you will have a great time. It was lovely meeting you last year on Azura Michelle

You will have a great time, I bet there are loads of other solos on too Michelle

Hope you have a lovely time, it will be nice to escape the cold weather Michelle

That’s a nice kind thing to do Josy. We moved three weeks ago and our new neighbours have invited us for tea & cake this afternoon which is nice. Our house is busy again today, two joiners and two electricians are already working. A kitchen planner is coming at 11 and someone from Neff coming sometime today as the current (new) oven isn’t working. It feels pretty cold here today. To cheer myself up I bought my first daffodils of the year yesterday Have a good day everyone Michellr

Thank you Jane, we will just have to get on with it and do it for her which we will but it’s quite hard to be able to do anything as some meds have to be in the fridge. Loads of jobs to do in house though as workmen have been here all week Michelle

Good Afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. Avril, good news Frank has got a diagnosis and that appropriate treatment can begin. Dog update - she had a corneal graft yesterday at the eye hospital in Penrith. She came home last night, 6 medications every two hours given 5 mins apart. Fortunately during the night we don’t have to do it. Check up next Weds in Penrith. We are very relieved and thankful to all the fantastic vets and nurses who helped her. Hubby was cringing at the bill but she is worth it It’s turning out to be a lovely sunny day here now, dog walk in order after lunch Michelle

I would agree with Graham, Royal Caribbean every time for the kids and it’s great for adults too. We went on Anthem last August with the grandchildren and they loved it, it’s a lovely ship Michelle

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well today. Not a good start to the new year for us unfortunately. Some of you may remember I had DCIS (early breast cancer) last year and I had my first follow up mammogram in Dec, they rang me last week, “chalky” deposits found so had to have a further more magnified mammogram yesterday, just waiting results now. Our dog was diagnosed with an ulcer in her eye over Xmas, she has been having antibiotics six times a day plus her own blood serum into her eye. Saw vet again last night, it has got worse, appt at 9.15 to see eye specialist in Penrith. She either needs surgery to make a new eye flap (if they can)to try save her vision or she will have to have her eye removed. So it’s an early start for me today as it’s over an hour to Penrith even with no hold ups on M6. Hope all goes well for everyone with appointments, treatments etc Michelle

Hope you both have a wonderful time. I will be following your posts which are always interesting Michelle

Hope all goes well for Frank, good knew to hear he is eating again Michelle

Hope all goes well this morning Josy Michelle

That is just the best news to be reading, a great start to 2024 Michelle

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all ok today. It’s pretty miserable weather here today, no outside jobs getting done and no long dog walks. Our Spaniel dog is not so well. She was diagnosed with an ulcer in her eye last week and has been on antibiotics. It was much worse yesterday and we had to take her to emergency vet. Stronger antibiotics now six times a day plus some of her own blood serum six times a day. We are not going out tonight, we will have a nice meal and a bottle of wine. Avril, I hope you are ok and that Frank is improving. Take care everyone and Happy New Year to you all Michelle
