    Greenbee I'm pleased it's going as well as it is for you; and that OH was there to support you.:T

    Last run round the garden for Ted in a few minutes, then I suppose I'd better try and get some sleep; have to call in the surgery for a repeat prescription tomorrow morning, then go into town to get the meds.:cool:

    I've managed to book an appt for my next meds review.... 27th August at 08:30. I now need to pluck up the courage to mention all the other carp going on with me, while I'm there.:o

    I know he cares... He's just crap at prioritising and his ex and parents know all the buttons to push (as do is kids, obviously, but that's their job!). I think talking to my mother yesterday may have helped him too.

    Start writing it all down now. Maybe while you have Ted to give you some doggy support :D just do a little every day and you'll have what you need by the time you go. If it is all written down, you can always just hand over the piece of paper.

    Can't sleep ... Was too tired to shower last night and OH and my mother claimed I didn't smell of hospital. I do now and it's horrid. But I need to wait for my mother to wake up before I start doing things - I don't want to wear her out!

    Morning Greenbee.
    Glad OH came through. Sounds as his kids are learning from the rest of the family (as well as doing what kids do) but his parents should be supporting him.

    Morning ladies,
    Glad you're ok greenbee

    Just finishing my first coffee, then i am going to attack the kitchen.
    I would like to get lots done today, so I can have a very lazy day tomorrow. That's my motivation anyway.
    I need to decide whether to pop into town this morning, so i will do that whilst doing the kitchen with coffee number 2.
    Bit of blue sky here - maybe it will be a nice day?
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    that's pretty much what my mother told him...that your job as a parent is to support your kids and try to avoid being a burden to them. His ex has arranged for his parents to go up and go house-hunting on Monday. He is going to make the point that if they want plans to include him, they need to consult him as working from home is working and what pays the bills. I think he's tempted to tell them he hopes they'll be very happy together and they can get on without him... :rotfl::rotfl: anyway, on Monday he has to pick up his car which should be fixed and is planning on coming over here to work before that.

    yes thanks Jue. My mother is now up, has brought me coffee and told me I can get up in a hour for a shower, then have breakfast in bed and then get up... I'm not sure I want breakfast in bed...:cool: hopefully the sun will come out soon and we can spend the day in the garden.

    I have a online shop to do, plus ordering the bathroom cabinet. Other than that, I just have to avoid being bored!

    Morning all, managed nothing much yesterday except the washing. My sister called up and she has a fourth infection and the mw is concerned that it might bring on labour. Fingers crossed baby stays put for another while. Suitcase now away home with her so she can start getting things together. :D

    My plan today is to get caught up with the list, house isn't overly bad just need to do some shifting about, cleaning and some ebay.

    Greenbee glad to hear OH was there.
    Serena well done to your DS.

    Right i best get changed and make a start.
    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
