1. Went to CHeltenham on the train with my marking. Didn't see much of Cheltenham, mind, my marking and I went for a coffee and then got back on the train. But I got it done and (shhhhhh - whisper) I havent' got any left
OK WHO BLABBED???????
They've given me more now.:mad:
:rotfl:I wanna be in the room where it happens0 -
A day of ups and downs.
1) Bigger son has a place at the high school of his choice! Good job too because its the nearest (7 miles away) and the others would take ages to get to.
2) Boys to school quite happily.
3) Went to parents and had a good chat with my dad. He wasn't well but we decided it was too big a breakfast and some of his heart tablets. (He went into heart failure aged 49 and is now 67). The reason I mention this illness conversation will become clear...
4) Sunny day.
5) Walked brother's dog for a few miles.
6) Had fish and chips near the Clee Hills with sons.
Bad things - OH very offhand last night, not replied to my text. Feeling very low about the whole thing and sometimes wish I had the wherewithall to just walk away.
Spent a lot of time thinking about that today until...
...just heard dad is not ill from tablet problems or too big a breakfast. Actually, very ill with cellulitis, they're trying to get someone to rig him up with a drip at home so he doesn't have to go into hospital and possibly get a further infection. I know lots of people have cellulitis and just get over it or have a course of antibiotics, but this is his 3rd time and only a hospital stay and a drip has cracked it the previous 2 times. It makes him very seriously ill.
So waiting to hear more from mum or brother as to what is happening. An ambulance has been booked if they can't sort it at home. :-(0 -

:rotfl:
Weren't me!! I was hoping to offload some of mine onto you, being as you had none :rotfl:
Luvvie- welcome
lovely to meet you!
Frith- thinking of you, you know where I am xx
Mine for the past couple of days
1. Dave spikey last night....amazing :rotfl:I haven't laughed so much in aaaages. Slightly annoying that the woman sitting next to me had the world's most annoying laugh and everyone kept turning round and looking at me. Oh and I had the world's (well Birmingham's tallest man) sitting in front of me and I am a borderline shortarse, so I didn't have the best view. Really enjoyed it tho
2. Cheapy, quickie meal beforehand in Las Iguanas, was yummy too!! I treated him- my generosity knows no bounds!
3. My lovely 'rents did the horses to make the above possible. They also did a couple of jobs at the yard and had a picnic with GSD apparently
4. Got a couple of annoying jobs done at work this morning, including one I'd been putting off for a month
5. Finished nice and early and spent some time with OH this afternoon (he was off work) I am ignoring the fact that I have a huge marking pile (Still!!)
6. Made bracelets for the girls at mum's hairdressers for her to give them instead of a tip. They love my jewellery and the bracelets were made with bargain beads, so only cost about 40p each!!
7. My beady prize arrived for being Fan of the Week on one of the beady facebook pages:D some gorgeous coloured beadies!
8. The girls are fine and are behaving themselves. I haven't seen them since Monday because Mum and Mrs Ponycarer have been looking after them and it feels v odd. I am missing them like crazy- can't wait for cuddles tomorrow:A
9. Almost forgot- good session with the Wise One yesterday- some new and interesting insights into relationships. When I grow up I want to be a wise one :nods:
GSD has managed to tweak her bad leg again, so is back on the metacam and is currently sulking because I just crept up on her and syringed it down her neck...bad mummy!! Thankfully, because it is an ongoing problem, nice vet prescribed the metacam without seeing GSD, so that saved a V visit trauma!
Hugs to anyone in need, it's almost the weeeeeekend :party: xx0 -
Thanks, Millie2008. I might take you up on that offer. Mind elsewhere now, ambulance on its way for dad. :-(0

Millie - I see that you have found your mojo again
Glad that you had a good night last night . I would have elbowed the laugher and told the tall person that he wasn't born with a transparent body.. after a glass or two of vino of course.

Firth sorry to hear about your dad, my father also has cellutis and is in hosp at the moment, has other things wrong also. It's the trying to get any communications out of people that is a full time passtime so I can completely relate. Let us know how it goes obviously.
1. WFH day.
2. Lovely and warm looking at the snowdrops and crocuses
3. Popped out to pick up our new spec's I have to wear them all of the time now as does OH.
4. Curious about home brewing but dislike wine so going to give it a go MIL gave us the kit, and we picked up a strawberry kit from wilkos today.
5. Treated to tea at a cafe, we both had a full roast with chips and tea/coffe for a tenner total, not very mse but nice.0 -
Evening all!
Phew! Busy day!
Am flying to Dublin first thing tomorrow so I really should be asleep by now!
1) New hair cut... I look vaguely presentable
2) Boss being nice - I am working on an important project at the moment which he has an interest in so he is speaking to me
3) Walked to the hairdresser without a coat or jumper on
4) Treat of coke and a bag of salt and vinegar crisps for lunch. I'm a bad girl!
5) Going to have a hot bath in a sec
Night
LMan plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.0
