Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Truth be told I was bored. My pulled muscle or whatever the feck's going on in my left shoulder means I can't knit. Might get my crochet hook out and fingers crossed that may take some of utter boredom away.

Oh god..December...well done jacks! Off to get my hip xrayed.. laters xx

Get some copies and use them as personalized Christmas cards...................best of luck its still doing what it should be doing. :hug:

I'm off back to lie on the bed,with a hot water bottle on my shoulder and read I,Claudius for the umpteenth time. One good things to come out of this re-furb we've found a mountain of books that need re-reading.

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Ah Rusters - feck the cleaning.
Though I know i've heard myself say ( to myself) "I'll leave that till nearer Christmas"
So the house will be a tip by Christmas week waiting to be done

YS is taking up the offer of a place in Aiséirí Secondary treatment centre in Waterford for 24 weeks.
So he's here now - looking & feeling well and going there on Monday. I think he needs it - he thinks he needs it - and counsellor thinks he needs it.

I brought this over from the November thread --- I'm so pleased he's going for secondary care Benjy -- it's tough -- I know my friend found it difficult -- it's literally like a half way house -- but she has always says it was the making of her... she's often said she wouldn't have been sure she'd have stayed sober with just the primary care.... good for him -- really shows he is serious about it... great news!

Hey Techie and Rusters --- sorry the shoulder is still sore Jacks -- I'm even more riddled with arthritis now than I was 3 years ago apparently so the hip will need replacing in January... he repeated again 'you played too much sports as a young one' --- like WTF??? they indoctrinate us to get young ones up and out running and jumping... FFS!! anyway -- it's almost a relief to know I'm not imagining it!

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Good morning all. Sounds hopeful for YS fingers crossed that it works this time.

Sorry to hear about the shoulder JC and the hip Molly, my goodness we have to wait years over here for a hip replacement even with severe arthritic change.

Bad news for me is that my daughter in Norway who was coming here for Christmas, has now had to cancel because it is too dangerous because of the virus and her problem getting back into Norway. Brokenhearted!
Ribs now improving on the positive side, and I have had another hangover free morning.

Off to see the eye specialist re my cataracts and then out for lunch.

Keeping busy but not with housework or clearing the garden

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Morning! So sorry daughter can't get over...better safe than sorry tho....Christmas is only a day....must work....talk later xx

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Morning everyone

So sorry your daughter is not going to get home Brit. Getting worried now in case mine does not either. It would not have mattered last year as she could have spent it with his family but this year she is on her own. Going back will be the problem as they are much stricter over there.

Glad you rounded up the other pair chatting away in November Molly. Thought I was the only one asleep yesterday. Hope both yourself and JC are feeling better today. Delighted young Satz has that place for the 6 months. Will he come home for Christmas? The tests are a pain, lot of people who were going away for short breaks cancelled this week since it came in. Bet your folks will have a ball Mary and fair play to them for going.

Beautiful morning here and just had a lovely walk in the woods. Feel truly blessed to have it on my doorstep. Off now to do the grocery shop.

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Oh Whizzy, what a damned shame. Have Christmas when she can get over and I mean go the whole hog. Crackers, tree, tinsel. There's no law says you have to celebrate on 25th Dec ( I know cos I'm married to a lawyer).

Bugger about the hip, Molly. Mr. JC's going to have to have his other one done in the next couple of years.

The pain is just in my right shoulder and neck now.

We did our Christmas present shopping last night. Just little daft stuff from Prezzy Box and Not on the High Street. Luckily my sister in law buys for her two and we just give her the cash and we just write the gift tag. We hide their cheque in one of their daft gifts.


[MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION]..................I've had two cataracts removed this year. Although I was scared it was all done and dusted in 10 minutes. The worst bit is putting the eye guard on when its bed time. It wasn't the actual operation that hurt.....................it was the tape that you have to hold it in place. Its feels more than 100 times stronger that sellotape.

Biggest news of the day.................My Aunt is going to the USA to see her son and family. She'll be there a month. Luckily her 20 year old grandson fiddled and faddled with her phone as all the visas, tickets etc are done on a mobile phone.

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Rusty it is the return to Norway that is the problem. She would have to quarantine in her flat on her own for maybe 10 days, as she works in an operating theatre. She was coming next week until January.I was so selfishly thinking just of me and the company in the house each evening. I will just have to get on with it and think of how lucky I am not to be alone without family and friends ( and you lot)

Aww Brit that is disappointing. But as Molls says it only a day - a pain in the arse day when there are no kids around.
If my bloody house wasn't full to the rafters with wannabe Germans, inlaws, outlaws and alkies you could come here.
I'm almost wishing for a lockdown :haha:
Doesn't your other daughter live in UK still?

Re: December Army Thread with Extra tinsel and Joy

Good evening all.. not a lot of news here -- Joe is really suffering the after affects of the booster vaccine -- tempted to think it's a manflu phenomena -- but when I said to him this morning 'argh you'll be grand' -- he rather forlornly said 'last time you told me that I nearly died' --- so kept my mouth shut when I got in from work and was nursie ;-) thankfully himself AND the poxy dog are in bed so I've the tele and the sitting room to myself!!
talk later or tomorrow xx
