Good morning! Have stayed up waiting for the fantastic news that came in earlier and then finished off watching Eddie Izzard. Will be back later to check in with the latest on Peter. My thoughts are with them tonight.

Morning

Mhamai How the devil are you? Glad to see you are still about .... come back and join us!

Aufish Thanks for the thread

Jas Thanks also for the Threads and thanks for the link!!! Fantastic news! I shall be hoping all goes well for them. It must be such a relief to finally have a good donor. (It reminds me why it is important to have a donor card)

Well I spent most of yesterday with a headache. I will have to do a few things to catch up today, but I'd like to try and get out if I can. It feels like we have spent far too much time inside recently.

Have to see what the weather is doing [sigh]

I was up late and awake early in order to get on with my cleaning mission and managed to get a fair bit done We have visitors this afternoon and a very particular visitor coming on Friday so I needed to get the place clean

Morning! Am feeling fine this morning, first thing I checked was for any news on Peter. I stay up fairly easily as I find that there is stuff that needs to be done or there is something on the tv that I want to watch. Last night it was just the news of the transplant that kept me awake, I knew it would keep me awake with wondering what was going on.

My to do list:

Get the kids to tidy up all the paper they have decided to rip up all over the floor! Not happy!
Wash up and dry up
washing
drying
make the beds
make lunch
clean the downstairs bathroom
hoover and polish
put away the ironing from last night
tidy the conservatory

There must be more but just can't think at the moment, need a mug of coffee! Will be back later!

Hey everyone, I've wanted to come back soooooooooo many times but was rather
I"ve had a lot going on. I didn't catch up with the coursework and will probably have to repeat the year, if they will let me?

My dad is in hospital at the moment, he has alzheimers disease but sadly now he has become incontinent and will probably have to go into a nursing home.

Anyhoo, I won't be doing much flying today but thanks everyone for such a lovely welcome back.

Mhamai Never be Just pop in and say hi, and don't mention the housework at all It works for me.

I've done all my errands and my house is filling up with children already (open house this afternoon, but kids are drifting in now.)

Can't turn off pc until I know how the surgery went, but have only done the basic housework. I;'m off to do the toilet before anyone else arrives, and then I will give up and have a cup of tea

Yey hotspots extinguished!!

I've bought the guinea pigs inside today as their hutch is just horrible and damp They really need a new one. Either that or I need to get an indoor cage. They seem happy to be inside actually.

Mhamai sorry to hear about your dad I hope he settles into a home. At least you know he'll have all the help and care he needs. Lovely to have you back

Afternoon all.

I have had a quick read but forgot most of it. It is great to be back, but only going short times at the mo. The doctors dont want me spending to much time on the PC. Its not suppose to be resting time using a PC

Been up since 6:45 this morning as the post woman woke me up to give a small parcel that was not even for us. It was for 2 houses down the road but it had our house number. Whats made me even more was it would have gone through the letter flap and it did not need signing for!!
At 9am we took it to the right house and had a coffee. The parcel was a book which came for a book club thingy that keep sending them books they dont want!! It worked out to be good though as we had a chat and a coffee and DD has a new play mate. A little Boy 3 days older than DD is. They are coming around here tomorrow for a coffee here

I have done.
*1 load of washing. Looks like it will have to be TD dried as it keeps raining.
*Hoovered the lounge
*Breakie ans washed up.

  • 2 houses down to drop parcel and had a coffee and chat.
    *Wiped down all the worktops in the kitchen.
  • Watched TV and rested
  • Done spuds and veg for dinner tonight. (mash with gammon and green beans.) DD loves green beans
  • MN

    Having lunch once DD wakes and then some play time and watch some TV or DVD, DD like Lion King (so do I ) Doctor does not like too much TV watching either as its not resting. Listening to relaxing music with my eyes closed it what she calls resting.

    Might be back later.

    Hope you all have a good afternoon.

    HN and DD xx
