    Aj your in my thoughts. xx

    Toots i was just too tired to argue last night so let him get on with it, he knows himself if he had been assessed i'd have been going home alone. He seems abit better today and i've stuck another list under his nose. :rotfl:HTT where suppose to ring out but we've heard nothing yet.

    Right i've changed all kids bedding, packed all the kids stuff, unloaded the dw, watered the plants, brought in the eggs, got Rhys fed/watered/changed and to bed, rest of kids fed, meds all sorted and packed.

    Still need to do
    4 loads of washing
    reload dw
    do some dishes by hand
    go to shop for stuff
    made supper
    pack my stuff
    get clothes sorted for wearing tomorrow
    find boys sandles
    phone my sister
    go to bed :D

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    AJ thinking of you and your family
  • Survived three full days at work.
    DH bless him has hoovered the ground floor throughout so a bit of flying done
    I am off tomorrow so thought I would go for it on the list and great it's a day off!!!!
    I like it monday was a soaadfa and that is exactly what I will be doing tomorrow in front of the tv during the wedding I may or may not then tackle the bathroom. The rest of the house isn't too bad. I will start monday next week in ernest as I am only working tuesday next week and the children are all back at school so I feel a blitz coming on, wednesday onwards.
    Haven't managed to catch up on all the thread but hugs to those who need it.
    Enjoy tomorrow

    Thanks for you wishes. An update...OHs dad has suffered a huge cerebral hemorrhage. We think it probably started at his birthday celebrations last week. The doctors have said that normally after this the patient would live a maximum of 24 hours but he has a really strong heart so it could be a bit longer. They knew something was wrong yesterday but couldn't tell because of the bladder infection which has turned out to be secondary. They have taken him off all medication, when we left he was still on oxygen but they are going to withdraw that through the night. He can hear at the moment and has murmured a couple of responses. OHs sister is taking it the worst I think but she is coming to us during the day tomorrow to watch the wedding which is good for her as we live closest to the hospital. We are all hoping he goes quickly.
