Hello everyone - did you think I was gone forever lol. I was just looking back at the old postings of 2 or 3 years ago and realising how I miss Howard, Jan, my lovely Pierre, Brian, Keith and all the other regulars. My reasons for my absence have been due to ill health. I am now housebound and can't walk. i am waiting for a hip transplant which hopefully will enable me to walk again but right now I am in constant pain and have to rely on my lovely family to help me in most things. Anyway enough of that. My lovely great grandaughter will be 3 next month and is as bright as a button. Jan - you told me about your great grandaughter calling you GG and my family loved it so I am also GG now. If I mistakenly refer to myself as Nanny Elsie will say "You're not nanny you're GG" lol. Well I'm off now but will be back again soon. Love to you all and a very happy Christmas and new year too xxx

There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

Sorry to hear you have been unwell but it sounds as if you are on the mend even if slowly.
Maybe time to join me and get a mobility scooter to terrorise all those able bodied pedestrians

, seriously it is amazing how nice and helpful the majority are when you smile at them.

Sorry to hear you are housebound Jacqui as I remember you and your hubby liked to drive up to St Martin's battery and park there to watch the sea going vessels and any livestock up there. Hope you don't wait long for the hip replacement, I can imagine how painful it is now having known others that needed a new hip. Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Good to see you posting again Jacqui. I hope you get your problems sorted out soon as I know my son was in a lot of pain before his op.
He was older than you when he had a hip replacement ( 50ish) and was pleased with the result!
I know that young Grandchildren are better than any painkillers and certainly more enjoyable.
I like Jans idea of smiling at everyone to encourage them to be helpful......I’m sure it works so long as one has their dentures in place!
A happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours ..........and while I’m at it, to everyone on the forum!
