    Morning all

    LL I've got absolutely everything crossed for you sweetie, hope the wait for the phonecall is not too long xx

    Piggers - hope you are at the quacks!

    Really bitty day here:

    physio
    invigilating
    quiz night at school.

    Hoping to get the living room done in bits between the above. DS1 just gone in for a History revision lesson so all quiet here.

    WM No 2 on, No 3 waiting, hope the rain passes so I can get some of it dry.

    Off to finish my dailies before I set off for physio.

    Morning everyone!

    I'm up, got to get ready for my support worker coming at 10, so better go and have a bath quickly. Plan to wash up, hoover, change the bed today, got to take DH his headphones as he phoned from work that he'd forgotten them (it's an emergency!), and go to the chemist. So a busy day! Oh, and have to work out what to give some friends and their kids for lunch tomorrow, will raid the freezer as it's chocka! I'm sure there must be something in there to give them!

    See you later!

    Pigpen, thanks for the lists. Really hope you are better soon, please go back to the doctors if you are still poorly today

    Mummyof5 glad to hear DD can do her exams, and I hope they will mark them and that she does well

    A round of applause goes to Pigpen’s DD, really glad to hear she is helping her mum in a crisis, what a star!

    Morning everyone!

    Have declutter a lovely big bowl of porridge with stewed apple and cinnamon in. MMMM. Would have been nice if I could have eaten it all myself though...DD2 quite enjoyed it too.

    Have done a quick kitchen tidy:
    • swept the kitchen and hall floor
    • wiped out the highchair
    • wiped the table and table mats
    • reloaded the DW
    • put the TD on
    Just need to do a quick wipe of the work surfaces and it'll be looing pretty good. Might sneak off and do a bit of ironing while DD2 is occupied.

    Pigpen...getting very worried about you now. It isn't a good sign if you're not weeing and you don't want permanent kidney damage. Hope you are back at the docs as we speak as I'm sure you could do without it getting to the stage where you have to go into hospital. You might not be on the right kind of antibiotics. Please do look after yourself...we want you back on your feet and well again ready to [STRIKE]boss us about[/STRIKE] keep us motivated.

    Pigpens DD1...well done doing such a good job looking after your mum and the other littlies.

    Out for lunch with DD2 and MIL and my niece...think we'll end up at a wacky warehouse so the girls can have a play. I'll then be keeping my niece and picking up DD1 and my two nephews from school, giving them tea then taking them home and putting them to bed until their other Auntie gets there. Their mum and dad are doing a hike up Ben Nevis for charity this weekend.

    Off to do a little bit of ironing (only because there is just a little bit to do:j). See you all later.

    ETA: Have a lovely birthday Phil.

    Morning All :wave:

    Just to let you all know. I've just heard from Toots. She's doing ok, but is a little incommunicado at the moment. :) She thanks everyone for all your good wishes, and hopes to be back in touch soon.

    :):):):) S'nice to hear from her. :D
