  • Hi everyone, not done too much today, worked yesterday evening andback at work at half six, so putting feet up!

    However did clear out two junk cupboards in dining room, which then made youngest (6) ask if we could do cupboard underneath, so all books and games and junk out and only games (orginally from there and lounge) have gone back in!

    Have sorted books out and taking some to boys school tomorrow for the school library!

    Have a nice night everyone

    Hello all :j
    Done nothing today.........bit of an 'experience' last night.
    Got a piece of meat stuck in my throat and ended up at A & E !!:eek: 2 hours of first response and paramedics in our kitchen, then ambulance came to cart me off..........got to hospital, got parked in a corridor and lo and behold piece of meat shifted and I could swallow again !! Felt such an idiot..............doc gave me some toast and water to make sure that went down ok before I came home. What a way to spend a sunday evening.............:rotfl:
    OH not too well this morning - stomach bug he thinks.........so he was in bed till 2pm..........seems ok now but really worn out -he's not good in a crisis and last night fair drove him daft ! What a way to end January...............lol
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    I have also made 6 flannel chicks and 5 flannel bunnies for Easter presents for teachers - just need to put eyes, noses and tails etc and put in the eggs and wrap in cello.

    Janebo do you have the instructions for bunnies and chicks. sounds like a good craft/present for my mob of Guides?

    Oh dear, I hope you feel better now Mary. You shouldn't feel daft, it must have been very frightening and I'm sure the doctors were pleased it shifted on it's own.
