    Morning all
    Hope everyone is well? Big hugs to Sandy - can't believe your consultant told you like that...and give your OH a kick in the behind! I think it's in their nature...men are problem solvers and if they can't see a solution they hide. Not making excuses, but I've seen this pattern of behaviour many times with my own OH...

    Also, I see congratulations are in order for Rach - I had an idea as I saw something on another thread. All these flybabies are making me broody!

    I've got a busy day again...visiting toxic relative from about 11.30...honestly if she wasn't related I'm not sure I'd bother....

    Yesterday was productive. I can see the surface of my desk now! And....

    [FONT=&quot]Monday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs[/FONT][FONT=&quot] DONE Please can I have a star Toots?

    [/FONT]Today I will mostly be doing what's on the list. Plus the Tesco order and finishing tidying my desk.

    We've finally got a sensible boiler quotation - we had four plumbers visit in the end, quotes ranging from £6k down to a very reasonable £2.5k. Hmm, wonder which one we'll choose :p

    I'd better be off then...time to act as sergeant major for the next hour whilst I try to get DD up and ready for school...

    Take care and have a good day

    Posting from page 9 :eek: had net access problems and slow pc problems yesterday so gradually catching up with you all now.

    sandy some very good suggestions from the others, I hope you have managed to tell your DH the news from the neuro. He needs to know so he can support you through this as well. And a move to York, it's lovely there and only about an hour and 15 away from here.

    Gotta run for now, school run beckons.
