    Morning everyone, i've skimmed through the thread but to honest i can't remember any.:o It's been mad here and my brains not working right.

    Sparky arrived last night and put in 2 of the double plugs and changed one of the lights, he's coming back this evening to do more.:j
    DD's floor is being laid as i type.

    Hubby wasn't that great yesterday that he even asked to go to hospital but they had no beds.:( The HTT and another doc are trying to get him into restbite today so fingers crossed it will all go to plan and they have room. I know he didn't sleep well last night so i think the break will do him and me the world of good.

    I also contacted one of my debts this morning that had refused to set up a payment plan for me, i paid a good wee bit and they have now changed their minds.:D I did tell the man that i would pay £200 a month but he misheard me and put it down to £100 so that should leave it alot easier. I'm so pleased because that is every debt sorted now onto payment plans (which i can afford) or there just under there limit now.:j:j:j
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Vanilla :- thats fantastic news on the payment plan front :T
    Lets hope there's room for you hubby tonight, you poor things not any gettng sleep.
    In my area the shortage of respite rooms is ridiculous, its like a 3month minimum for a bed. BUT its brilliant because at least its there when you need it.

    Just finished the front room, i even washed the windows again :eek:
    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs Star please mystery toots!:j cheers love!

    Just put another load in, opened all the windows in the house, stripped all the bedding, washed the front door 9in and out). Feeling tired now and my cough has returned just in time for a cuppa ;).

    Sandy :- hope all goes well with the neurologist xxx

    It is unreal,we're lucky because the doc is quite good at getting her own way.:rotfl:It does take a lot for DH to say he needs hospital and when i was talking to one of the HTT last night she said 'well where do you want me to put him, there's no beds' she very lucky i didn't see her last night as how am i suppose to know if there is bed available or not. The Cheeky cow.:mad:

    I have not shifted yet this morning, wheelbarrows in and out of the livingroom and back door has to stay open. It's freezing here.

    I'm just about to face the ever increasing gibble which is just everywhere ( omg it must be breeding!) but first a bracing cuppa and then to work in little HH batches

    By the way what are the meanings of HHC and HHI please? I presume that HH= half hour or am I just grasping at straws here -yep they fell out the cupboard when I tried to put something else in-:o
    So one step at a time .....next time maybe the gibble fairy could land somewhere else
    May you fill up the great clutterbucket of life and may all of your leaks be in cheese sauce:D
    Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without:cool:
