Mums partner has had his op, we wont know anymore until tomorrow he is comfortable and sleeping he didn't come out of theatre until just after 7pm and as it takes mum an hour and half to get there visiting ends at 8 there was no point her going tonight so she is going to get there for tomorrow afternoon visiting at 2 and then we will know more.

MLB I hope he had a good sleep and is not too uncomfortable today when your Mum goes in - fingers still crossed for a good outcome (((hugs))) xx


jinky thats brilliant that you have someone in your life again - hope you are having a nice time together xxxxx
MrsChaos jam sounds great -(((hugs))) for coping with grumpy drawers
pigpen what a shame for OH- like you say it will soon start to change and I bet she will be daddy's girl. And she most certainly DOES need her daddy - daddies are great for doing nappies and burping and walking the floor when babies have sore tummies - every girl needs a daddy for when these bad boyfriends upset them!:D
Triker dont you go daft today ..ye'hear!!! only do what is ABSOLUTELY necessary at this moment in time - you have a few writing jobs etc that you could cross off quickly i am sure??? xx
Mumto5 first of all have a HUGE squishy (((hug))) and these are for DH:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: and may he be plagued with something uncomfortable in somewhere unmentionable!!!!:cool: Figers crossed they come back with the funding for the transport and it doesnt take 6 weeks either! Well done for the tidy house and I hope you find it easier to keep tidy now that you are getting on top of it. remember you are doing it for you and not what DH thinks or needs - maybe you should stop doing his laundry?
wilf are you letting yourself get run down again - hope you feel better soon honey but for goodness sake dont push yourself today - you will only feel worse. Southern fried or chicken casserole?
piggers - thats brilliant about the DLA - and thats another reason Freja needs her daddy - a chaffeur:D
Polly oh how exciting for you - where is he cycling to/from and is there a whole group ? Hope they get good weather.

Just managed the dailies today. Still feeling a bit rough so have got some cold and flu stuff and cough medicine. Im feeling quite cold too and was last night.

Toots. My friend is bearing up quite well considering. It appears to have been a tragic accident when he has been out blackberry picking. He fell down into a stream sustaining a head injury.

Hugs for everyone specially Toots. Lady L. Diva and LW.

Kitten back to vets for boosters...
learning from 3 hours 'stays' in there last couple of times I went we got there EARLY - officially surgery starts at 3. Back home by half past.

I am SERIOUSLY losing my rag with Tesco Digital. DD price checked; we ordered a cd for her from there and nothing - last TWO e mails have been ignored, too.

IF I have to write they will be being charged for my time & costs at this rate...

Living room cleaned.
