Sauron will always be pig dog to me. Brrr on heating. Ours did that yesterday, but for some reason it re-booted. Have you got a plumber on way??

MAS, how sweet of DS to say that. What's happening? Is school on? Is Group on?

There's a stomach bug going round, Gig. DS had a day off last week with it. Not nice and lingers, so take care. Hope you're feeling a bit more spring-like today though after scan news. Smile

Jane, hope the bus got you to work. Bit treacherous on the streets here. Ice everywhere, though snow mostly gone.

What's happening with you, Ned? I have a feeling she's gone to work as no postings.. Hope you made it okay xx

Brew on here for anyone who wants one. Pen are you ready for tomorrow? Can't believe you'll be bumped again, as they do seem to do their utmost not to. What time do you have to be in?

topsyturner · 23/01/2013 09:55

Sky working , thank goodness .
I can cope with no heating , but not no tv GrinGrinGrin

DH has a plumber he knows (through work) and he (DH) dropped the gem as he swanned out to his nice warm work this morning that plumber man was boasting yesterday that he's fully booked for the next 3 weeks !!!!!

And the snow has started again here !!!

On other news , I am next door in HNDs house keeping warm her company .
Fairly good nights sleep was had .
District nurse here now .

Have I told you all ?
I HATE SNOW !!!!!!

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 10:45

Give hnd a hug from me(gently tho so as not to upset her wounds).
I can offer sauron some old rice cake and the remains of a packet of Pom bear.
Yes it is a relief smee- just feels like a small victory esp when this time lady year was such bad news. Sounds like my bug similar- I don't feel I'll, just grumbly upset tummy so very odd. Also so far seems to have escaped rest of family (although hard to tell with mini gig as she is fond of filling her nappy).

Going to try to ou work today- copthall the massive shoulder busting ref book I have is your fault.

MaryAnnSingleton · 23/01/2013 11:21

Looks as though meeting is on,dh gone off to work and ds to school - no new snow.

Gentle welcome home hugs for hnd

Oh mas that is a shame.

graciesmall09 · 23/01/2013 12:44

Super news gigs so pleased for you re. your results.

aw mas that is a shame about your meeting.

pen good luck for tomorrow we shall be thinking of you.

No heating is dire topsy. I hope you get it sorted soon. Do we need to send you some emergency blankets? The snow has pretty much turned into thick ice here so not looking forward to the school/dancing run.

My mutt keeps pawing at my arm as he wants a walk. He has no chance.

MRI was ok. I may have taken a Diazapam before hand Blush. 50 minutes is a long time to be strapped down. I just hope the results come through quickly as I feel very stressed about them.

Hope everyone is keeping warm and safe and hope you got to work safely ned. Waves to smee, kurri and anyone else lurking. Did we ever hear any word from pink? I often wonder how she was getting on.

topsyturner · 23/01/2013 12:55

Plumber here .
Thinks we might need a new pump .
Anyone know how much that might cost me ?

smee · 23/01/2013 13:19

Sad mas. Have they rescheduled it for soon? Hope so.

Haven't a clue on how much, Topsy but surely the healing paws of Sauron will win you a discount? Grin

Hope HND's okay. Come natter with us soon xx. Smile

Diazepam sounds like the way to go, Gracie. Have they not said when you'll get the results. That seems a bit cruel. Waiting must be crippling. Hmm

I think of Pink often too. I did pm her (a long while back now), but she never replied, so I guess we have to respect that. Pink if you are out there, come say hi if you're up to it. xx

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 13:28

Depend on boiler but think pumps are usually about £100 plus vat but need to add on fitting/call out.

MRI is the worst sort of scan but when you add in stress of what looking for and a wait its horrid. Gracie can you phone your nurse/dr and ask.

Smee that was kind- guess the offer is still there if she wants it. Personally I luff this thread but I know not everyone copes that way.

MaryAnnSingleton · 23/01/2013 13:29

50 mins gracie ? yikes-and well done...
I guess the next meeting will be as scheduled on 20th Feb.

OP posts:
topsyturner · 23/01/2013 13:49

I would want a GA for 50 mins in an MRI machine Gracie !!!

Plumber done
New pump fitted
Boiler serviced
Still don't know how much as in the quaint way they do it in this country , when I asked he just said "oh I'll see you right"
He will give DH the bill when he sees him in work ...

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 13:50

2 1/2 hours was my longest MRI. My tip is if you are going to get cancer, don't get one where MRI are part of the test.

Great news about boiler

MaryAnnSingleton · 23/01/2013 14:14

hooray about boiler !!
Can I ask you lovely ones to take a look at this ? www.justgiving.com/kinddog

OP posts:
graciesmall09 · 23/01/2013 14:29

"Oh I'll see you right" sounds ominous. What on earth have you offered him? Grin but glad your boiler is fixed.

Waves to hnd hope you are recovering well and Topsy isn't bothering you is looking after you.

smee that was lovely of you. Hopefully one day she will come back to tell us how well she is doing.

They have a large sign in the MRI department stating 'please do not phone for your results' so I best wait until my onc calls. He has a habit of phoning on a Sunday. He phoned me the Sunday night before Christmas at 9.30 pm to wish me a happy Christmas Smile.

Will check out your page this evening mas off to the school run/dance run now.

KurriKurri · 23/01/2013 15:10

Afternoon all, sorry for poorly tummy Gig - hope you feel better soon.

MAS - shame your meeting was cancelled - will they reschedule it soon?

gracie -hope you don't have to wait long for results, but well done for getting through the MRI - they don't sound much fun at all.

Pen loads of love and luck for tomorrow xx

Adding my voice to good wishes and love to Pink - if you ever read this Pink, I think of you often xx

topsy - hooray for new boiler , Hmm to 'I'll see you right' - that could mean anything.

Our friend (who was abused by little shits) is reluctant to tell police, - although DH has been urging her too, she might tell the school though if she can find out which one it is. She and her Dh have sent us a bottle of their home brew - which looks dangerously strong Grin - I may put some on the trolley (or I may just drink it all and fall over)

I braved yoga this morning. The room was freezing cold - air con on full for some reason Hmm.
Also met a woman there who lives in the next village to me, so I suggest she drops in for coffee. As we were leaving I give her my number and say 'hope you don't mind untidyness and dogs', she said 'I'm fine with untidyness, but not very keen on dogs' ConfusedConfused - so if she turns up, I'll have to either shove OL dog in another room where she will howl, or let her in and she will try to kiss the woman and sit on her lap and no doubt terrify her. Hmm - what to do? - Dress OL dog in a baby grow and say she is my grand daughter????

KurriKurri · 23/01/2013 15:12

Oh - welcome home HND, home you are not feeling too delicate, and are not being disturbed by drunken choruses of 'Nelly Dean' from the house next door Grin

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 15:34

I think she may have 'nelly deAn' in person as wasn't she visited by topsy until hearing fixed. She will have been happy to have a healing lick from sauron.

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 15:36

I may have to name change. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Copthallresident · 23/01/2013 15:42

Gigs 2.5 hours? Sad I would need serious drugs for 50 mins let alone 2.5 hours. My Hong Kong scans were the worst as they talked in Cantonese throughout and Cantonese is peppered with exclamations Aiyah! and intimations of doom, sentences that go really deep at the end finished by lah.. So it always sounded as if they were saying Oh No! This is bad..... when in fact they were probably talking about the weather.

Lots of turbulent tummy here today, DD2 also off with it now. Just had two slices of dry bread because I couldn't face putting anything on it, and yet it is as if I have been on a diet of beans, fried onions and artichokes for the last three days. Hope you feel better soon because then there is hope for us too

Gracie Everything recrossed for you.

Topsy Where are my eagles? You do realise that Sauron is the epitome of evil (though played by Benedict Cumbernatch in the nuddy in the Hobbit so he can't be all bad) and his minions end up looking like this lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Orcs?file=Orcs_-_Two_Towers.png. Goon dog looked just like this to me after he dug up my flower beds......Those of us who are the epitome of goodness and get to call in the eagles look like this [[http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/33000000/The-Hobbit-Movie-Poster-Galadriel-the-hobbit-33043600-649-960.jpg] Just saying.

"I'll see you right" north of the Watford Gap is a good thing. If a southern plumber says "I'll see you right" be afraid , be very afraid ................

jchocchip I'll see your two pubs and I school and add in three large churches (CofE, Methodist and Baptist, for 3000 people! No wonder I can't shake this boring northern protestant ethic ), two mills and.....dah dah a viaduct. www.bradfordfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/hewenden-viaduct-77887.jpg and a quarry ... That should narrow it down!

Mas Sorry about your support group, I hope it will be rearranged for soon. A good choice of charity, will give even if you sneak a few choccie bars

KurriKurri · 23/01/2013 15:42

Oh yes HND - let Sauron at those stitches with his spiritual saliva Grin

Why namechange GIg?

Copthallresident · 23/01/2013 15:47

Tsk! Sauron messed up the link to my luminescent beauty images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/33000000/The-Hobbit-Movie-Poster-Galadriel-the-hobbit-33043600-649-960.jpg

And yeah to hnd for escaping and hope new boob all settled in.

Gigondas · 23/01/2013 15:53

Dss is applying for internship here. Not that I am particularly bothered about being traced but did wonder if should name change.

Copthall symptoms sound very similar- cant face banana in front of me for that reason. Hope it goes soon as its very dull .

MaryAnnSingleton · 23/01/2013 15:57

will think of new name for gig
copt I promise I won't sneak any choc during Lent. Have just thought though- does sugar-free chewing gum count as sweeties ? I am fond of it as I think it keeps my teeth in order.
