Spirited and Lively Older Women Thread

Geeze u guys are busy----i'm trying to move by Sat. but my kids come to pak up thing.  i'm just taking personal and a few pieces of furn. The rest just goes/ That's all the action i can take for now.

I have managed to get back on here in a fashion. I am totaly sick of it now, and missing loads. I just do not have the time to 'register now' each time I want to read a different thread.

I tried 'clearing my cookies'....thanks very much MinusTwo and 3jays...but I shut myself down for 24 hours...everything, whole pc, just blanked. Had to get my pc guy out...he did it in 2 minutes, that's how hopeless I am !

I re- registered last night as Isabelle...completely losing Isabella4 in the process.... tonight Isabella4 is back, but no Isabelle...what a shambles! I am not even trying to move threads. I am beat, and want to jump on / jump off tonight !

Have had a busy day today...mainly throwing DH out once again !! I think he was settling in for the duration, was getting a bit bored, and was starting to stick his nose in too much !! I wasn't offering him anything to do, as I don't want him touching anything...and it was getting to the 'where are you going ' question morning, noon and night ...no good to me. I finally said 'I'm going into the village this afternoon, so if you put your stuff in the car I can drive you back home' I got 'I have another hospital appointment on Thursday' so said 'no problem, I will call and take you'. I think he was a bit suprised as I KNOW I was brusque....I am when I get sick of a situation....but I have so got used to my own company now. It is like heaven tonight, no-one muttering about 'no-one to talk to, always got your nose in a book, or on the pc.' I am just not meant to be half of anything. DH is now OK, well, as OK as he can be. He doesn't need my help anymore, and hopefully the massive bandages that are covering just about all of his right arm will be greatly reduced in bulk and he'll be able to drive again. It's just me that needs help now bringing me back down from the ceiling, where my heads been since he had his op.!!!

We have had some very heavy rain over the last few days,  when I had dropped DH off I was straight out into the garden, as there was an hour or two of sunshine, before dusk. The ground was easy going, being so damp, and I got up to date with my planting. That is... only until tomorrow, when all seniors get 20% off all to do with gardening at our local DIY warehouse every Wednesday, so will be filling the car up again, with bedding and herbaceous plants.  This is when I miss my greenhouse, I cringe at the prices that are charged for a single plant, when they grow like weeds in a greenhouse ! But, no use trying to keep up with a greenhouse now.... I can't....too many other commitments.

I have just ordered myself an Ikea day bed, a cream wooden one. I am getting worried about being able to get into my new bedroom...even tho' it is all on one level (almost) there are still 4 steps to climb to get myself into the kitchen. I shall set the day bed up in the conservatory which IS on the same level as the kitchen, and, if I can stand the screeching and chattering of my birds I will  crash out in there .....and probably end up with coccidiosis breathing the same air as the birds all night !!

Ossa, I'll be in your pocket, passport in hand. You're not actually that far away from me. (((HUGS)))

Hi , I just read a few pages . I am 59 years young, thought I'd join you gals.  Will just jump into the conversation!

hugs

Hi Candie...nice to see you here.

I am not chattering tonight...I can't stay awake. Just about fell into my scrambled eggs at t/time...then fell asleep watching my favorite soap at 7pm....woke up for half an hour...then was off again whilst trying to catch up on the newspapers.  I am swaying into my monitor now, so will go off to bed 2 hours earlier than I normally do.

Then I shalln't be able to sleep !!!

Isabella. 

Hi Candie, good to see you here..

During my pre-op yesterday I warned them my surgery will be noisy as so many of you are coming... They said it was ok as long as the personnel got some cake. look forward to getting rid of my spongeBob boob and getting my Barbie boob (Boob no nipple)
