Diabetes back under control Sometimes a low blood sugar leaves me feeling like I'm wading through treacle I remember sanatogen - my mum used to drink it MIL swears by a glass of sherry every night She is 90 so perhaps that's the way to go I used to love Viral and the orange juice when my first born arrived we used to be able to get Marmite cheaply 4 years later when daughter arrived they weren't allowed to sell it because of the salt content (I think) Pippa Dee takes me back and there used to be a company that sold jewellery at home at a similar time Can't remember the name but know I had a pretty silver necklace with a butterfly set in a black oval shaped setting Just remembered!

We didn't get to the shops to look at garden tables in the end today but we did go to the local nursery to buy some bedding plants and hanging basket plants. The nursery is so much cheaper than the garden centres. We are really lucky (or not as my husband thinks!) to have quite a few garden centres around us - we have a Hilliers in the village and a Haskins/hobbycraft a short dive away and a wyvale not too far away and we also have 2 huge ones that sell everything a short car journey away so spoilt for choice really. We I'm ready to tuck down so night night everyone sleep tight, see you in the morning.

But I wasn't allowed out of bed either, and I think it must have been part of the Trauma for me as I was always out playing, was to young for school so I wouldn't have even got that, yes children today go through illness Trauma but they don't suffer like you and I and thousand of others the separation? <br />Margaret, the best knitting patterns and wool came from The Scotch Wool Shop? I even wore a lot of their skirts and jumpers. I to still have their baby patterns in bits but held with tape. <br />Well I did fall sleep, but then Charlie came up to bed and with in minutes I was awake as he was zzzzzzing it, so now that will be me for a few hours, <br />Sandra I hope you and Pat had a great day a the ware house? <br />Wendy are you still suning yourself or are you back here now?

A bit improvement.<br />I'm actually in bed now and just had a quick look before I put off the light.<br />The Doctors and Nurses were all specialist T.B. carers.

My parents were close friends with a couple and he was a TB specialist. When it died out in this country they went to Canada as there was no longer any work for him here. <br />It is so hard to imagine what it must have been like for a child to go into hospital and be kept from seeing everyone. <br />It was bad enough going in to have tonsils and adenoids removed! I was only in for two nights. Was never back in hospital again until I had my children! <br />So much for which to be thankful.<br />You may already be in bed - just in case - night night, my dear! <br />Sleep well, <br />Love Myra xxxMyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667747125575972770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-52193622131901690632015-04-25T23:18:30.187+01:002015-04-25T23:18:30.187+01:00Night Night Maria!

You know the trouble with me...Anyone want a drink? You know the trouble with me is that I cannot just do a quick job, I have to clear out, file, label, wash and then move on to the next bit. I haven't finished my craft room yet. The desk is once again under a mountain of odds and sods, but I have 3 boxes full of wooden stamps and more card and paper in the recyling.<br />Hazel, I was terribly lonely when I first went into the Sanny because I was in quarantine for two weeks on my own and the injections every day for the whole time I was in were not nice. I could only have visitors for two hours on a Sunday because my parents did not have transport and a special bus was put on then from the town to the countryside where the hospital was.<br />There was an evening visiting hour on a Wednesday but no one got visitors because their parents couldn't get there to see them. As we were all in the same boat it made it better. This was the 1950's so not many people had their own transport. <br />We had some good times, the cast from the Theatre Royal in Newcastle came and performed the Pantomime for us, I was wheeled along in my bed so I didn't even have to walk to the the large hall to watch it!!!<br />We had a proper school in the grounds for lessons but for us who were bed bound the teachers came onto the Ward. The whole side of the ward was concertina doors which were pushed along so that we were open fully to the elements on one side. Of course when the snow was on the ground we used to get excused to go and fill our hot water bottles, whilst the teachers wore coats, hats, scarves, gloves and anything else they could get their hands on!! They must have been freezing.<br />Well, that's enough of my reminiscing, I've probably bored everyone to sleep, so I'll get ready for bed and say goodnight, sleep tight, and watch the bed bugs don't bite.<br />Sweet dreams everyone.<br />Love Muriel xxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-4181563136454862702015-04-25T23:11:24.907+01:002015-04-25T23:11:24.907+01:00Hi My friends,

I don't know much of the tonics and wines but enjoy hearing about all the things so let them come the stories, I do miss Norah do as her stories were also great so I really hope she will be back soon.<br />Sandra and Pat, hope you had a fabulous day at Anne Marie warehouse. Tell us all about it and make us really green now you got this place on your doorstep.<br />Diane, how did your garden table shopping go ? I love going to the garden centres and we are very lucky to have 3 around were we live. Inside they also got some cloth stores like 'the woolen mill', the 'cotton traders' etc. plus in one we have the 'works' (no more papers, you must have bought them all up) lol<br />I'm feeling funny enough quite good tonight after spring cleaning the kitchen but I did pace myself and is not finished as I took everything out of the cupboard were my OH and I keep our meds. Need to get rid of some outdated remedies and sort out what to keep and not in the box saying 'first aid'. I also left the windows for son to do as he can reach over for even with a step ladder it is still tricky to reach over the sink and window sill, have no chandelier to swing from and haven't drunk enough Baylies to attempt it myself yet. I used to live on the 7th floor once and to clean the windows there I had to lean out quite a way for getting to the other side ! oh, it was a long way down.....things you did when younger ,ey<br />Wish you all a good night,<br />Love and hugs Maria xxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-2931974732304602342015-04-25T22:49:59.301+01:002015-04-25T22:49:59.301+01:00Myra I just love your little poems they are a joy ...Myra I just love your little poems they are a joy to behold.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-76281195311532917202015-04-25T22:47:25.519+01:002015-04-25T22:47:25.519+01:00Hi Sue

How lucky were you to be able to hire a beach hut for the day. Myra you were thing about the bech huts down by Hengusbury Head and Mudiford Quay which is near Biurnemouth. We often walk down that way when we visit Pete's brother. They are very small, but they do have a small solar panel on the roof for the electricity. You get all the Londoners that go down for the weekend so it's quite a little community. They even have a restaurant down there as well. That's why they are so expensive.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-18764958271800390452015-04-25T22:40:28.268+01:002015-04-25T22:40:28.268+01:00Wow!

It's clothes and bag are girgeous. <br />Brenda is their no end to your talents. Your pendants are gorgeous. Wish you were coming on the retreat as well. Margaret, what lovely knitting you've done, I also used to knit fir myseldpf and the kids. I remember I had a wonderful lacy wavy pattern. It was mainly white with just a few wavy lines now and again in different colours. You knitted up to the arms and then cast on for the arms and knitted it in one whole piece for the front, and the same for the back. Love the poems ladies, I read them out to Pete and he had a laugh. You did him a great service by making him laugh. I think he'd forgotten how to for the last few days. Hopefully his new treatment will be approved on Tuesday when we go back to the hospital. I'm off to read the comments. Might see if there's any Baileys left to drink.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-70606395102105762712015-04-25T22:30:07.424+01:002015-04-25T22:30:07.424+01:00Oops should have typed UP for sale for £200 millio...Oops should have typed UP for sale for £200 million, sorryMargaret corgi ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044940577122022288noreply@blogger.com
