IF and notice it's a VERY big IF
I ever give another gentleman the honour of becoming Mr. Valli I know where to come for hubby-handling tips...

Mmm don't think W's trilby will be a good enough hat for this occasion! Although it did look very good on Miss A as well as on W.

memory loss clinic?


*runs and hides*

No I am ONLY JOKING but couldn't resist. *grins impishly*

But that would mean that I not only forgot that an out-patient app was going to be made - I also forgot going to the Dr at all this year.

Plus - it's the Neurology Clinic and I can't think of any reason why I would be given an app by them. Oh well, all will hopefully become clear when I speak to them.

Morning all.

I went to see hubby yesterday evening, i'd managed to hurt my knee on friday morning leaving the bin down but it wasn't too bad. Yesterday i couldn't put much weight on it. So while i was up i decided to nip across to A&E, 3 hours later i'm told i've pulled a ligament in my knee and may have a bit of cartrige(sp) damage but won't know until next week. :eek:

So i'll be hopping slowly today. :rotfl:

Kids all up and fed, so just need to get them ready for sunday school.

Morning all, been lurking this week in an attempt to get more done, not sure that worked as still ended up with loads to do this weekend, and not as much done as hoped for yesterday. But that'll be because I stormed out of the house (only as far as the garden mind!) after DH was getting under my feet and winding me up while I was working on project clean the house. Still most rooms are tidy, which helps it look clean for a bit longer!

Have been catching up with fred a bit last night and this morning, but had a few days worth to read so too much for me to remember everyone's news but hugs / coping thoughts to those who need them, vanilla especially. And spoons for LW to help with your current guests and in readiness for Tuesday.
