March Army 2022

Re: March Army 2022

IamMary he's not sure yet. But he did mention that there are options. He can stay in Waterford & move on to a 'sober house'.
That involves a few lads living together and looking for jobs or training for something different.

I think myself he will stay there. He loves the outdoors & there's everything down there.
He cycles 60k a few days a week out into the countryside and is learning to surf.
I think it's the best move he will ever make. Not the city of Waterford but all the other areas are beautiful.

I love hearing his progress. What a fabulous life he has to look forward to, with his priorities in the right place. Im sure many before him have stayed in the area too, so a lovely sober community close by.

Just a quick good night. Been a horrible day weather wise and bit of bad news too. A cousin who has been estranged from immediate family for years committed suicide yesterday. 52 and 4 kids ranging from 12 to 22. So sad. Think he had been suffering from depression for a while. Makes you thankful for what you have. Very satisfying clearing briars and giving new life, enjoy Molly. Hope poor Rosie is ok soon. Off to leaba night everyone.

Sorry rustop, missed that last night, crossed posts. Thats awful sad. Ive had a few male cousins also leave the same way. Worst funerals bar none.

JC, you sound gorgeous ! Whens your next dental appointment, i want to see if the hypothesis worked!

Molly, there is nothing complicated about moving mobile provider. Do a bit of digging and click go.. They do it all for you. im going for sim only plans with GoMo. Uses the eir network. Im leaving three also and will save a small packet. When i need a new phone, it will be a good quality second hand one.

Re: March Army 2022

Well I'll get banned with you...she's an absolutely vile woman..and frightening how those preppie boys let her lose with her fascist hate speak and opinions....utterly vile

Good morning everyone

Totally agree Molly, we can all get banned together. Rain had already hit the East coast, absolutely lashing here. Walked for an hour with the big fella in my rain gear. Glad we went now, my friend wanted to wait but it is getting worse.

Thanks for the link Mary but think it is hit and miss. I’m with Vodafone and they say it’s good in this area but I have crap coverage in the house at times. I decided not to travel west for the funeral, might watch online. Think it is a day for the fire and maybe audio book and crochet.

Re: March Army 2022

Morning,
Is this the queue for getting banned? I can bring biscuits. I'm surprised you didn't hear my chin hit the floor all the way over there when she opened her mouth.
Add to that Boris is being investigated by the police about attending parties while the rest of us were in lockdown.

Its a beautiful spring day here but its freezing................going to take Mikey out so he can drag me round the big field.

Depends if he comes out of one of his hidey holes...........he's in the back bedroom at the moment. He's finally wormed his way into my heart........makes me laugh when he's in a sulk...........he sits underneath the dining room table. He must think we're daft.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]...............I haven't made the appointment yet. Want to see how it goes with the therapist tomorrow (our last session)...........:sad: and Mr JC's going to take me so it all revolves around his diary.

Re: March Army 2022

Rosie off to a mini-break tomorrow.
We're going to a shagging wedding in Wicklow - I HATE WEDDINGS after the first 3 hours. Once I'm fed I want to go home. But no - it's MrS's friend we must stay till the death. We only know the Dad - no-one else .......... the things I do for a quiet life ........... FFS !!!
The vet says Rosie may have hurt her back a bit getting in or out of the car. A pulled muscle or something so we're giving her medicine and she's not as mobile as she was. It hurts to go up on the sofa or up stairs. We've to lift her into the car & on to the sofa & bed - she's small but a heavy lump :egad:

Re: March Army 2022

Evening....oh weddings....nightmare! My biggest fear was Adam as he's always one for 'doing the right thing'...but he told Joe last week he can't see any point getting married as they're happy out living together....happy days!
Another lovely day today went for an amazing forest walk...just heavenly tbh....and it was about 5 or 6k so it means I'm beginning to get my fitness back...officially only off crutches since Monday!!
You sound like you're doing great Jackie...I'd say you're right has to be mind blowing numbers of people affected by being cut off from the outside world for 2 years..
Not much news this end..was talking to the previous owner of the house and he was saying he had fibre broadband last year here and it was amazing so delighted to hear that ..was a bit worried with the poor mobile coverage.
Anyway..our little escape is over...home Sun or Mon and then back to work Mon week...jaysus I'll have forgotten how to do everything!!

Re: March Army 2022

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION] you're certainly settling in to rural life. You should get some chucks again. Be like the old series 'The Good Life'
The way things are going we'll all have to be self-sufficient soon. Back to bread making, veg growing , drying tea bags on the clothesline :haha:

Did Jilly get her house .............. as in will you have somewhere to stay when you come back up to visit the 'big smoke' ?

[JackieClaire]

Re: March Army 2022

Poor wee Rosie. Wish I could have her for the weekend................her and Mikey can sit under the dining room table and sulk together. I took him out for a walk today although I should say he took me for a drag around bits of grass he hasn't seen and peed on today. I have one arm longer than the other.

Jenny's up tomorrow for a bridesmaid's fittings for their dresses all 4 of them. I asked her a while back where they were getting ready and she said our house. Bearing in mind we've only got one bathroom...............that's 7 of us trying to get ready on the big day. I thought it was funny when I said I'd just hose them down in the back garden.....................she looked at me as if I'd stood in dog poop and trailed it through the house. She's got two degrees and not a halfpenny of common sense.
Luckily the 'venue' is close to my cousins so I can escape there for some of the afternoon after the wedding lunch and the night do.

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]...............it'll be like riding a bike you'll be back to normal in no time.

My appointment with the therapist has been moved to noon tomorrow. My last one, I'm going to miss him.

Yup Jilly has her house..she's getting bathroom and some more work done before she moves in but yeah we'll have a bolthole alright..I said I'd trade bed and board for gardening work ;-) the boys all have spare rooms offered as well so should be grand...anyway there's always cheap Airbnb if we're stuck...it'll be nice not to have both houses to maintain!

That's a lot of bridesmaids Jackie...just can't understand it tbh....

Beautiful morning here..Joe and Max gone hiking so having a nice rest here in the leaba!

Re: March Army 2022

Good morning! Weddings are a nightmare I agree, sorry about Rosie.
Molly that all sound wonderful, forest walks are keeping me sane also.

Well done Jackie you sound you are getting there!

I have my heart investigations (at last) on Wednesday and hope to get a proper diagnosis. I only had a telephone diagnosis over the phone, where I explained my symptoms to a cardiologist, who then prescribed a whole load of drugs.I have been at my wits end.

Good news is my Oslo daughter is home for a month and bringing her new boyfriend to stay for some of the time. I have met him before and love him. She has been on her own for years, so I am very happy for her.

Speak later!

Re: March Army 2022

x post Molly! Great news re Jilly. I remember staying in her room.

That's great news MsA that you can get a proper consultation this time. Tell him you want the whole raft of tests that they can do.
I'm not sure if I remember what was wrong MsA - I must have missed that
Best wishes with it:hug:
Let us know what happens ?

I had all the heart tests - can't even remember the names of them but big gadgety things. Anyhoo veins were fine but he told me to take 2 different drugs - "just in case". One of them was Statins - but I won't take them - I've heard too much about them just being thrown about like Smarties and have side effects.
So I'll just take the Aspirin till I actually NEED anything else..

I just remember my mother with dozens of different pills - getting more & more as she got older.
I went with her for a few consultations & he didn't even look at her - just his computer & prescribed more drugs.

Needless to say I got her away from him. When she went to hospital they took her off all meds and she never missed any of them. Left her just one for waterworks.

Re: March Army 2022

Good morning everyone

Good to hear from you Brit, glad you are getting your heart investigations at last and good news about your daughter. Enjoy Jenny’s visit JC, reminds me of what one of my daughters used to say about the other one, “for someone so book smart, she’s awfully stupid “.

Don’t envy you the wedding Satz, hate them and delighted they are not now in my immediate future since both romances are off. You will have the best of both worlds Molly, how does Max enjoy the west?

Sun is shining so I better get going on my own walk.

Re: March Army 2022

Morning,
We'll not be seeing Jenny today..............she's meeting up with her bridesmaids for the fitting of their dresses and then she's whizzing back to York as her and Ads are going to Tommy Banks restaurant for Ads birthday yesterday. Its eye watering expensive. I nearly choked when I saw the prices.

[MENTION=22839]brit[/MENTION]..............thank you. I'm glad your seeing yer man face to face...........the doctors seem to be hanging onto zoom while the rest of us are out and about. Let us know how you get on.............. you're very much loved by all of us.

Better get a wriggle on...........with the therapist changing my appointment to noon as put us on the back foot.
