    Good evening all!

    Thank you for all the positive thoughts. My neighbour was out of hospital today - she had lots of tests done and everything seems fine. They can't explain what happened, but she seems happy that anything serious has been ruled out.
    With my MIL, there's unfortunately no quick solution. She has another appointment next Monday and I hope that new medication will bring an improvement and reduce the risk of a stroke.
    It's been an ok day. Dailies all done, and a few other things. I'm aiming for L1 again this week and hope to build some decluttering time in. It's DS2's parents' evening tomorrow and we will probably call at Aldi and the re-vamped Mr T near his school before coming home.
    One more bit of paperwork, then bedtime.

    Good night. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.
    MrsC.
