    Hi Guys,

    BIL is still unchanged, they keep trying to remove the ventilator but he's not managing to breath by himself, so all we can do is wait and hope but it's not looking good.

    40sms not feeling that good today, with all the worry and with everything going on at home recently things are quiet tough, did I mention that my DS put his fist through the bathroom window last week whilst arguing with DD :mad::mad: also cash flow not at all good either but guest thats the same with everybody!!

    the veggy patch is doing rather well at the moment and am rather pleased with my efforts and found a new hobby I do like my garden,

    how things with you have been readin your diary hope things are improving for you.:)

    Well just as we thought nothing else could possibly go wrong this week, it has hubby on his way to be with his sister and brother in law, those that don't know my BIL had double heart attack on Tuesday and is on ventilator and also now has pneumonia ( not looking good) My Hubbies gear box has just blown up on the motorway:eek: and is now on his way back home to sort things out. does any have a magic wand to make all this go away please.
    So as it stands this week BIL in intensive care, car gearbox blown up, no money, not much food I'm beginning to think this isn't going to be a good year. :cry::embarasse

    Thanks beanielou and 40sm
    • update BIL still can not manage with the ventilator and doctors have said prepare fpr the worse, but things will be staying the same with him for now!!
    • OH car not repairable so will have to get another, have sorn broken one tonight on dvla website tonight as car tax is due tomorrow. (I think we will be in a position that will sort this one out for us and also be able to clear some debts too, without taken on anything else) as they say a gift from the past:A if you get what I mean.
    • OH has taken my car up north to visit family but have just had call to say will be home again tomorrow as there's not much he can do there.
    so roll on tomorrow,I'll be busy with the donkey derby for the afternoon.

    well another day bekons and I wait and to see what it brings.

    well here we are arrived in june half way through the year, quite a busy mont this month, DS is 18 in a couple of weeks also have friends arriving from New Zealand :) really looking forward to them arriving, DH has chosen his next car( finally will have mine back) should be hopefully within the next week, then we need to get rid of broken one, we have also worked out which debts can be cleared too, so this will also be a great relife.

    for those that have sent their kind thoughts regarding BIL he's now stable but critical and things are looking up but still not out of the woods, still quite hard to think about all this.:(

    hope those that went to the Donkey Derby that was held locally had a good time, I know I did.
