    Morning Squizz, Carrot and Ames,

    Quiet, how quiet, as quiet as a mouse tap dancing on a roll of cotton wool.

    Am here! Sold the last of the clutter....so am happy and I feel less weighed down by crap. Now Pint needs to get his stuff and I'll be funky again. I bought a book, it was The Green Mile so justified by how much I love it.

    Exam tomorrow, so I'll read and highlight my notes in a bit, then do it later this evening.

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Afternoon

    Well my day had been carp, got up to go to hospital with Nathan went to catch 8.05 bus, never turned up, stood in the rain waiting eventually got on a bus at 8.40, nathans app is 9.30, just made it to app on time with 1 min to spare to wait an hour to be seen, saw dr was told its hereditary and they don't do much for bedwetting these days, but he has given nathan some tablets that retain water in the body to take before he goes to bed. then we was given a letter of discharge nothing dr can do. But he will refere Nathan to the incontinenceteam to see if they can help.

    we then walked into town went to mcdonalds for food i spilt my coffee all over my brand new white coat and bag, then we caught bus home, went to loads of cheap shops looking for pva glue to seal walls in bathroom to paint, none had any, then we went around 3 pharmacies looking for nathans tablets 1st two didn't stock them, third did.

    so now i'm having a coffee and a sit, then i'm going to put my new coat in the wash and hope the coffee stain comes out.

    On a brighter note its stopped raining lol.

    Afternoon everyone.

    I cant believe how quiet it is in here today, I've had the morning at work, been for a lovely walk, and now I'm waiting for the washer to finish so I can hang it out.

    Butti, it's nice to see you feeling better.

    Where is everyone else??

    xxxxx
