    Lovely that you got to spend an hour with your gran. How was she?
    I don't think many holidays abroad will go ahead so your uk breaks sounds like a perfect plan. 
    Have a lovely week Abba, I hope you get some rest and your leg is better. x
    She was very standoffish to begin with never seen her like that but apparently that’s a side effect of dementia bless her, I just kept chatting away to her til she came round and we had a lovely visit I phoned my brother and sister whilst I was there and she chatted away to them and eventually opened her Xmas presents.  She’s had her MRI scan and it’s came back clear so we are waiting for her to have another test which is to rule out mini seizures or strokes........I don’t like this not having any answers but hopefully we will get some shortly as she’s still in the hospital but she’s been moved up to a ward and has other ladies in her room so she’s been chatting away to them and the nurses bless her so she’s behaving xx

    That's nice Abba, glad you got to spend some time with her. My Nana had mini strokes there's an acronym for them but can't remember it. It caused her dementia and when she had them her behaviour completely changed. Her medication helped with them so if it is this then medication can hopefully help to stabilise the seizures. 
    Have a lovely day Abba x

    Evening

    hope everyone had a lovely new year we have had a quiet one so far

    I’ve started my new target so far I have £303 in my re-render account and have started putting things up for sale on fab, so far have made £15 and cleared a lot of space from the tv unit I have kks old tablet up for sale someone is meant to collecting it tomorrow, should get £55 for it plus hubby upgraded my iPad for Xmas so I have my old one to reset to sell and I’ve told the kids I’m selling their Nintendo DS’s as they don’t play with them and there’s two of them and loads of games.  Agreed to split the sell of the ds’s between my re-render fund and abbies house fund.  

    Trying clear the tv unit as plan for this year is to upgrade the living room as I want a new couch and hubby wants to build a false wall and get the tv on the wall so there will be no need for the tv unit anymore so trying to get rid of the cables etc from the tv unit so it’s not as stressful come the time to get rid of it, well abbies taking the tv unit and the couch when she moves out.

    todays my rest day from exercise so making the most of it and have hardly moved from the couch watching my tv shows, it’s been nice, no update on my gran still running tests to see what’s going on xx

    That fund has gone up quickly. I have just got rid of my TV cabinet and had the plug socket and cables all moved to the back of the TV now. It is up on the wall and looks a lot better and my living room a lot more spacious. 
    I sold some of DD's old things as well because she doesn't play with them either. 
    Have a good week Abba x
