    the exhaustion caught up with me this morning..he got up early and I put cartoons on and said "just let grandma have a little lie down on the couch"...I fell asleep and woke at 10.40am....bad grandma me...he has had 4 weetabix for breakfast...lol...he's been a very good boy today and is playing with all his toys quite happily so may get away with not going anywhere.

    Think it was too much having him after all the travelling but he seems happy enough.

    Hope you can get some rest today. The emotions of the funeral must have been taxing enough without the travelling. Try and take it easy - though I know that's easier said than done! x

    Hi Taxi

    Not been about for a while but I've just caught up.

    Sorry to hear about your sil - glad the funeral went ok and you are back safe and sound - never good to go to but it has to be done. I'm sure she would have understood you not getting to visit her.

    The savings are going great guns - you could charge and give lessons!!

    Sounds as if you had fun with JJ - no wonder you are nicky-nacky-nood.

    Just keep on listening to that body and you'll be on that holiday relaxing after all the treatment has finished before you know it :)

    Afternoon all

    Had a lot of sleep last night and this morning so feeling loads better.
    Am having an easy day today.Have the hospital tomorrow for bloods and to see oncologist and then weds have my loopy juice.

    We were having great difficulty building grandaughters bike (as instructions were rubbish) so e-mailed the firm and they sent photos of how to build it which made the job very easy.So thats done now.We'll give her the bike for her birthday in november and the doll and pram for her christmas present.

    not a lot going on here but that's good.

    I need to do the banking but may leave it until tomorrow or send DD later...no rush.
