    Evening everyone

    I have decided to officially call myself hopeless

    I started off great and then DH was poorly so he was off work until today, he went back to school even though he was in pain cos he felt so bad about leaving the other staff in the lurch. So whilst he was off I got nothing done as I was spending my time sitting with him. Today I flew like the wind tidying up downstairs, tomorrow will be upstairs and then on Sunday the kiddies are at their Dads so we will be having an "Us" day - we go for a walk, have some dinner, cuddle up and then get ready to pick kiddies up, all this is providing DS goes as he doesn't like his Dad too much.
    Apologies all round for everything I've missed
    I hope you all have a lovely weekend and........ providing no-one is ill next week I'll be flying everyday as I'm soooooooooooo behind on Xmas stuff and I need the house sorted this week and presents wrapped aswell so I can relax for when the kiddies are off school.

    Evening everyone.

    Saw the manager at Mums home. She said that as its hard to pinpoint exactly what has happened there wasnt a lot she could do. There was no other reports of residents belongings going missing. Though she did say she will be raising the issue at handovers and staff meetings and informing her manager. Plus its in her notes and care manager informed. Then if someone has taken it hopefully they will be put off doing it to someone else. Plus she said to get mum a new one and they would pay for it.

    Mum very out of sorts today and saying no to everything. Would not have her usual chocolate and refused to talk to DD on the phone saying No Way. Got more verbal when I took her for lunch. It was if we had gone back months. Shouting to go home and be away from there. Took me ages to settle her. Yet when I passed the dining room on the way out she was calm. Im shattered tonight.

    Just had my tea and going to do some wrapping. One load of washing on. Will catch up properly later.

    Big hugs boddy.

    LadyL i can't believe they're making you wait even longer for your results:mad::mad::mad:.

    DS2 has fallen asleep on the sofa, i'm going to leave him there until OH comes over then he can help me get him to bed.

    I need to

    Wash up
    S & S Kitchen
    Feed rabbits
    Tidy living room & hoover when Ds2 goes to bed

    Then i want to wrap the stuff i bought today before Ds1 comes home and sees it.
  • Huge hugs boddy it must be very tiring and stressing for you to see her like that xx

    pigpen i hope the santa spy helps keep them quiet for a fw days.
    helen jelly I will slap you about the hed with one of mudbath's wet fish if you say you are hopeless again!!! you had a sick husband to look after so routines go out the window - life took over - so stop being hard on yourself. (((hugs)))

    kazm well done - i think i should make a start but there is so much else to do.

    The good news is the flooring has arrived at 4pm today and the joiners will be here at 9 to get it done.

    off to do stars
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine

  • Boddy - hugs for you. A stressful time, hope it calms down, at least they are willing to pay for a new one, but that's not the point is it?
    Hex/Greenbee - definately wine/lager/Gordons time! Cheers
