Morning all, up bright and early this morning. I am going stir crazy here not being able to do too much. I actually took myself off out yesterday for a slow drive and gentle walk to and around town. Now how sad is that
Am sitting here watching the fog come down quite heavily - it wasn't there at 6.30am when I hung a load of washing out on the line, and yes the pink pegs were all used in order of shade of pink :T. Where on earth did it come from..lol
I've also got a lovely smell of Juicy Orange Yankee Candle in the house. Had a big order from YankeeDoodle come yesterday, afraid I went a bit mad and ordered loads of tarts, two tart burners and two USA exclusive jars that I had been waiting for - Chocolate Cupcake and Black Cherry..mmmm!!
Went for a walk yesterday evening with the dogs and DH, I had the dog that doesn't pull but just walks along nicely. Unfortunately I had to take some painkillers when I got in as I was starting to get twinges again. I had been free of them all day..trust me to aggravate them again..lol
Wrote my letter of complaint to the hospital administration regarding the weekends treatment, or lack of I should say. So that is all posted off, doubt I will get any response but it made me feel better putting it all down on paper. I also mentioned the previous time when I was sent home with pains and a miscarriage after being told there was nothing wrong with me, then being rushed in with a miscarriage.. Told them that they really should look at their system and the care the doctors give to patients.
Doubt I will get my stars this week but that can't be helped. Hopefully next week I will be able to get one star..lol I may even be able to rope DH into doing some housework, as of yet he hasn't even lifted his finger to help me. Not sure if he thinks we have housework fairies or something, how does he expect the housework etc to be done when I am not allowed to do much.
Hugs to everyone and welcome to the newbies

Morning all,
It's gonna be another pretty day again here :j I've got the Drs at 9.30 am this morning. I spent a second night on the sofa last night.:rolleyes: Went to bed at 10.00pm, woke at midnight, stayed awake till about 3.00am (went downstairs during this time cos I was sick of tossing and turning). Finally fell into a weirdy dreamy sleep, yet again, which I kept waking up from :rolleyes: Finally got up a 7.00 am when DS and DD came downstairs. Of course I'm sitting here yawning my head off now!!
Anyway, the plan for today is........carry on kitchen pottering and hopefully I will get the carpet cleaner out and do the living room carpet. I am gradually working my way very randomly through pigpen's lists. But I won't post any at the mo, cos I'll end up trying to complete them in full and it'll depress me when I don't:rolleyes:
Hugs to all that need them. Catch you all a bit later . xx0 -

I would make sure you do get a response and if you don't write again but copy in the chief exec of the hospital and the PCT/ Their approach is not acceptable and shold not be tolerated.
