Bella, big {{{hugs}}} to you and the lil royal kiddies, having sick kiddies is really taxing, its hadr to see them unwell.. hope they get better very quickly..

missy good luck with the garage, just wondering If i can book you in ,in a couple of weeks time my garage needs cleaning too, LOL even though its almost empty I cant get in the door to move things to the back,,hahaha.

Have a nice lazy laid back lunch with your friend JV ,sounds like a good idea to me..I guess your OH is chasing those elusive lil white balls around the place?

I went out for lunch with some friends yesterday..we went for a drive and wound up in Murray Bridge(about an hour and a half from my place) and had lunch on the bank of the Murray River it was so nice and not really all that expensive either, for all 3 of us inc drinks the bill was $41.00..then we went for a stroll (i went for a roll) LOL along the river front, took some pics, so I might post some later if anyone is interested!

Zaidee, hi sweets, I can email you later and explain how to contact peeps thru ebay if you like? Hope you are fighting fit, and having a nice day,the weather in Adelaide today is marvellous , its prolly about 21 degrees, it was a bit warm yesterday tho..

scatty I really hope that you are doing okay, and are coping a bit better in regards to your poor scatty cat? {{{HUGS}}}

well I have let 1 poster here know of my news, I think i am ready to tell my other buddies...

2 weeks ago I saw my eye specialist, had quite a few extensive tests done on my left eye,I am legalley blind in my left eye and have been for the last 27 years, I can only distinguish between light and dark, Anyway the test results have shown that I have 2 ulcers on my cornea, 1 is quite large and covers my whole eye, the iris is torn and the oupil is not round but elongated or pear shaped, my eye is also almost completely calcified,there is also some small tumours on my L eye called neurofibromas,whether they are malignant or not we wont know til they have sent them to pathology, there is nothing that th dr's can do to fix the eye, which I kinda knew anyway, The dr's have discussed with me what they feel is the best choice in regards to treatment is to remove they eye altogether and have an acrylic prothsetic eye, it will be attatched to nerves and muscles so it will have as normal movement as possible. I am kinda scared, but also I know that I am in excellent hands, the Dr I have is a proffessor in opthamology and is well known in the practise of eye medicine all over the world, his partner used to be Mr Fred Hollows(who i was under as a child)so he is a brilliant surgeon I am lucky to have him..My op is schedueled for the 2nd of June,I am anxious to get t over and done with, I also have some of these tumours in my right eye, but atm these are lying dormant ,they wanted to try remove them, but I decided against that as to date they have caused no harm, and I don't want to risk going blind in my right eye too, the dr said there would be a 10% chance of that, so it was decided no way..

You know for what it is worth, even though yes I am scared I also feel quite lucky, with todays advances in medicine the dr's can do just about anything, I even asked the Dr ,if they can do major organ transplants, can they do eye transplants atm the dr said while it may be possible and something that is actually being looked at, there is a risk of contracting a disease called CJD or cruedtz feld jacobs (sp)disease..
Not exactly sure what it is (might google it later)but hey it never ceases to amaze me what the medical world can do,,,

so there it is,,,

I am now madly cleaning up my house so when I get home I can rest up....
I will prolly look like a pirate for a while, as it takes 6-8 weeks before the prosthetic eye is ready...

well i gotta go pick something up at the shops for tea, so catch you all later!!

Hi Bear and thats a lot for you to think about and to cope with.............wishing you every success with it.......and that the surgeons hands be guided by a higher Power:).........super duper good luck:)

Hi Miss and it was a mad flat out day i did manage to do breakfast..........but lunch had to be shelved as i had to run around with the agent and was on the hunt for and hunting up tradies...........the painter who was due to do some painting is now ill so at the moment patience is a virtue:)

Hello everyone
Thanks to all who were sympathetic about losing the old Scatty cat. Its been 1 month - and I still can't believe he's gone!
Haven't got back to you all before because I got slapped! Not on this thread, of course, but have been barred for a week - mainly ignorance of how ebay works - but now I know!
Hope I don't get slapped for the above?
Anyhow - hope your op goes well pj!:-x don't feel old jvh - remember you are only as old as you feel!:-p and bella - be careful of those hot packs - they make you feel better at the time but can make the back pain worse! Cold packs are better! They don't feel as good but they actually do something about the back pain! A good old adage is "heat for the front, cold for the back!"
Or you could try a bit of hot then cold. Back pain is such a "pain!":-(
Hope all you mothers had a lovely Mothers' Day.:-x
Off on the first of my mini holidays tomorrow after work, so going to pack now.
Waves to miss, jvh, pj, zaid, dame, chris, bella, purps and all:-)

hello all, did anyone hear about a bomb being dropped here in Adelaide??? cos I think it hit my kitchen!!:O, I have just had some dinner, and I made some chocolate crackles for my nieces birthday party, she wanted me to make them cos she did not like the way her mum made them, apparently my sister uses the cheapest cocoa, and that is a big no no ,cos then the crackles do not come out right, then she adds peanut butter into the mix as well, eeew no wonder miss going to be 10 does not like her mums version..LOL, anyway, now my kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it, but I guess once everything is put away and then I've organized the dishes so that they can be washed it the kitchen will look better, I think i might wash the dishes and then put them away when I get up in the morning!!!!

I WAS going to go to the zoo this weekend and see the panda's but I have to stay home this weekend ,because I have pharyngitis and it is affecting my asthma, so I need to be on the neb 6 times a day,, oh well ,does not really matter gives me a good excuse to stay in bed and laze about, hahaha..and make some more cards.....

I have been slowly sorting through my house and have decided to downsize and get rid of a tonne of stuff I don't need,
A lady is giving me a call tomorrow to organize a pick up of some furniture and other household items, it's for a halfway house for kids who are pretty much homeless, so they are setting up this place so that these kids have a home....
I bumped into a couple of the youth workers in K-mart and they had a trolley load of kitchen appliances, I was in the checkout queue and we got talking-I asked them if they were setting up house, they told me what they were doing ,so that is how that all came about..I would rather give all this stuff away than throw it away...its a case sometimes of being in the right place at the right time!!And at least it's going somewhere where it will be appreciated!

Good evening all!

Hi JVH - hope that the 'legal eagle' didn't leave you too exhausted! Glad you at least got to go out for brekkie! Good luck with the painter. At the moment our painter is awol with a sore shoulder - though the weather hasn't been appropriate anyhow for painting outside.

Hiya dame - don't be working too hard and hope you get a chance to pop in here!

Hi pjbear - very nice of you to donate your furniture. Sorry you will miss the zoo trip. Chocolate crackles are a fav here as well great for the littlies to make (no stove involved) - and OH adores them too.

Scatty more hugs re the scatty cat. Nice to see you!! Lol at being in e bali (dame explained it to me) - think I'm the only one hasn't been there. Sounds like it is a very popular place lol. Nice to have you back!

Bella hope all is well with you - ditto kezza!!!

Was so exhausted thisafternoon fell asleep on the couch - highlight of the day was my neice giving me a beautiful pair of earrings and a card she made (which I will keep forever and a day) - for mother's day!!!!

Sweet dreams to everyone!
