I'll give you a wave, Woolly. 😁

I've got a mad busy weekend this weekend. I'll be meeting myself coming back.

I'm glad you got your bargains. What I want hasn't dropped yet.

No, flouncy. The price went a bit high. I've found it on Amazon so hoping mum sends us a voucher for Christmas again!

How are you now?

Mrs hope the IV abx have kicked in now.

The fair was lovely. I didn't buy anything but coffee and cake (chocolate and cherry as a treat!) plus stroked a lovely dog Grin it was so muddy coming out even my big car was sliding and it's only the first day.

I've not seen the pyjama ad.

BH trees are bloody expensive even at 50% off! I could never afford one!

Sounds treacherous, Wreck. I'm glad you have nice cake though. 🍰

Fanny l love the Mrs Miracle & Murder she baked films Xmas Grin
Thank you all for the well wishes for Mum Flowers
I have been over the hospital best part of the day. The Sister on the ward was very kind said l could stay with Mum as long as needed due to the circumstances, Dad's death, Mum not being able to hear and her terrible leg infection. I was there to see the Consultant come around thankfully , she is staying with him until discharge He said her CRP, an indicator of how bad the infection is, was nearly 300 . Her legs are just awful, l have been washing them and putting Dermol on them all day , they are leaking what looks like watered down pus , it's horrible. She is in fine spirits though and l sorted her out tonight ready for bed and came home . She's not drinking enough though l am going to have to read her the riot act tomorrow Hmm
They had real trees in Morrisons about 5ft for £15 l don't know if the quality is any good for that though but it did seem a good price Smile
Woolly have a great weekend m'dear Smile
Wreck , cake looked delish glad you were ok on the mud! Xmas Grin
Better shift and ring to see how Mum is settled , have a good night sleep everyone Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 22/11/2019 22:25

Finished! Onto the Snowman ones now. ⛄️

Mrs, I'm sorry about your mum. She's in the right place though. Flowers

Ahh thank you Fluffy , and thank you for sharing the tree x stitch l love it, well done you have done it so quickly , l think it is my favourite one of yours Flowers

TheWoollybacksWife · 22/11/2019 23:22

Lovely Fluffy

I hope your mum has a good night MrsMad. Could you take her some squash in tomorrow? She might not be enjoying just water and the squash might make it a bit more palatable.

I love the cups Wreck. Very festive.

I hope you are recovering 70 and that it wasn't too traumatic today.

Alarm set for 6 😴

Hope it's a good drive. Even the boring bit between junctions 13-15 which goes on for about 50 years!

Flouncy, there were 9 bastard yellow squares which I did last!

I really like the design too, Mrs. I think it's my favourite too!

Hope 70 is ok.

We've got a 9:30am party this morning Shock and it's almost an hour away! Plus dd is at a sleepover so I have to get her quite early and she will be tired and grumpy. Ds is still asleep. It's right near a Waitrose that stocks special low carb bread though so might pop in and get some. I feel a bit sick this morning not sure why.

NoWordForFluffy · 23/11/2019 07:27

I hope you don't need to POAS, Wreck!

And yes, I hope you're OK, 70.

That's a harsh party time. Madness!

I'm allotmenting soon. It's been raining so the ground is amenable to weed removal. My plans have been changed by the availability of free wood chip (if it's still there), so getting that is my first task!

Morning everyone .
Yesterday was fine , it's the prep that sucks Xmas Envy < not envy .

Once the sedation goes in the whole thing is like a dream (though it's a crampy, gut spasmy leave me alone type of dream and I was absolutely raging hot for about 5 minutes . )

I need to wait for the full report but I had biopsies and they found an ulcer .

Best wishes to your Mum Mrs , there's something comforting about being in hospital knowing that everything is there but of course you have the noise of the other patients, people being admitted , not having your own bed and toilet . And the constant blood pressure , temperature , blood test and medication. And having no idea what time of day it is !

I'll come back and read through (coffee beckons )

CrazyBaubles · 23/11/2019 12:20

70 I'm impressed your DH is still walking after the garlic bread incident!
We had similar as I'm on SW and DH merrily sat next to me and began to eat choc. He stopped when I looked at him like this 😡
