The Petrie Press Christmas Party

Hello All,
As the festive period is creeping on us again, can we try to confirm a date and time for the Petrie Press Christmas Party? Perhaps suggestions of who is bringing what food?
Cheers

e-mail city

You may be aware that we have been in Paisley today fixing up Louise with some sort of e-mail facility. She can now send and receive e-mail at mldelaney@ntlworld.com.

try it out !!

heat...almost

there are some radiators on our walls - albeit with no heat coming from them....is it wrong to be excited by such things?

aaaaaaaaaaaa....................

................CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

what is it with me and cars at the moment?

so, i was driving from coventry to loughborough this lunchtime and i got a puncture on the motorway! Had to pull over and wait for the AA halfway up a muddy embankment in the wet and the wild. Lovely man (like the advert!) and he changed my tyre in a jiffy.

now on my 2nd coffee to warm up again!

17,857

Bet you didn't know that I am currently 17,857th in this month's Fantasy Football - just thought I would spread it around a bit!!!!!!!

Gorgeous

I have really cool new glasses!

Never mind Christmas

bring on the 20th!

i miss everyone!!

Booooo...

....got sideswiped on a roundabout last night and my little car is all beat up! I'm fine (currently on hold with my insurers) and the guy who hit me is taking responsibility. My poor car though...

Christmas

How about we have a family christmas party at mums on 20th dec while moi and andi are here?

Stupendous Show

How about those fantastic twins ? They were simply amazing !
They absolutely stole the show. No, I am not biased - well, not very !

Well done, girls.

Our friends the Petri's (Stu & Jill)

had a wee boy, Lucas, on Thursday....well not so wee - 9lb 1 and 60 cm long. Bit of a difficult birth but they are doing well and should have gotten home today. He is adorable.

Fusion Show

EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole thing starts as of tomorrow (this is obviously not counting the many many rehersals lol) but i hope you all enjoy it and love me and bethan (: "the Twins"

Love you all Hope you are all well and happy (:

J x

New Look ?!?

Is this a new design? Was that Miss Hannah?

Update

Well, andy's dad was back in Leicester yesterday to meet with his surgeon. Everything went well with the operation and his back is healing well - the surgeon advised that the tumour they removed showed that he has lymphoma (which is cancer of the lymphatic system) and he will be referred to a haematologist to discuss treatment. It is most likely that this will be radiotherapy, given the local nature of the tumour. There are no secondary tumours and the orginal one hasn't spread so that's great news.

So, the focus is back on gaining strength in his legs and getting back to walking. He is having some trouble with his balance at the moment - his brain isn't talking so well to his ankles! But the physio (Stefan the scot!) is a genius apparently so all is looking well.

Still no idea when he will be home though.... as always, small steps!!

Hannah's Art

Please feel free to leave comments as it will help

I havn't finished then 100% but feedback always helps =]

Try not to be too mean lol

I laughed! I cried!

We went to see Son of Rambow last night - it was ace! Thoroughly recommended by the petrie-scotherns

http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount_vantage/sonoframbow/

Good news and crossed fingers

Andy's dad is taking tentative steps now which is great news. He seems to think he can run a marathon tomorrow(!) but he is getting stronger every day. We're making plans to bring him home in the next few days, where he can hopefully get some uninterrupted sleep and home visits from the physio. The results from the biopsy should be in next week - the oncologist seems to think that the tumour is benign but the surgeon isn't convinced.

A long road ahead but it seems brighter this week

thanks to you all for all your kind thoughts and messages - the petrie-scotherns really appreciate all your support

xx

update

dear all

thanks for all your texts yesterday - sorry I haven't had a chance to answer them yet.

Well, the operation went well and the metal plate is in. The surgeon managed to remove most of the tumour, which has been sent for investigation. He said that in his experience it is likely to be malignant but it may take up to 20 days before they can confirm anything. The oncologist is coming to see Graham today.

They are going to try to get him up and about today - from the bed to the chair and perhaps even a walk, depending on how things go. He's regaining some feeling and movement in his legs, which is a good sign. And, he finally managed to get some sleep! yay!

We are back !

We arrived home safe and sound this morning having had a wonderful time. Totally relaxed but perhaps some liver damage !!

needing positive thoughts......

dear all

as you probably know, andy's dad has been in hospital. Turns out he has a tumour on his spine, which has caused some nerve damage. He's going to have an operation on tuesday to put a metal plate into his spine to release the nerve and to check out the tumour as well as any nerve damage. The doc says there's a 70% chance he will be able to walk after, which is pretty positive I think. All prayers and happy thoughts would be most welcome.

I'll update you after tuesday

bathroom blues

i'm off out to look for a new bathroom! first we had a leak through the ceiling, from the overflow on the cold water tank in the loft and then (the same day actually!) we noticed a damp patch on the stair wall and water dripping into the understairs toilet. The overflow pipe from our toilet is also leaking. Sigh! I booked two plumbers and they BOTH turned up! Go figure!

Any design concepts most welcome.....

hope you all are well

What a star!

Just to let you know that dad is like a child waiting for santa. He has ants in his pant, so exceited See you when we get home missing you all already

Holly bags

Well, we have gone and done it. We have booked our holidays in Florida. We fly out of Glasgow on Saturday 8th March at 09:40 and arrive back in Glasgow on Wednesday 19th March at 07:10. Ten days is about right ! We have taken a fly/drive option but, if anything happens that we can't stay with Ray and Mae, we will go anyway and get accommodation somehow.

Even Granny's elastic pension couldn't stretch to cover this so we are spending some of your inheritance.

We ahve no idea yet how we are going to get to and from Glasgow.

Won't be able to sleep for days, now !!!!!

Al and I have tiled our kitchen - check us.

Christmas

I know I know it is toooo early but I thought I would put forward a proposal for Christmas this year. I have heard through the Petrie grapevine (but not the Petrie Press!!!) that Dad is looking for a full on Petrie Christmas extravaganza this year. So what about if we do a secret santa? We pull a name out of a hat and get 1 good pressie for them (maybe £30?) - thoughts?

Help Required

******Mulhern Family in need of assistance if possible******

As you know, Linda and Norna are off to India for a rare (ahem) holiday this month. They are due back on the 15th Feb (Linda's Birthday) around midday. Wee Al had intended to pick them up in Glasgow after a long journey home. Unfortunately his nasty bosses will not give him time off work. Sooooo is there anyone available in the Petrie posse that can assist?

New Look

As Jennifer Gemmell Said:

Hannahs version of the britney look

I obviously had to improvise, with what was in the room or in eye sight at the time. Not a bad attempt though =]
