Looking forward to catching up with you next week
Where are you most likely to see a reminder? If I need to remind Mr F of something I leave a note beside the kettle because he drinks tea like it's going out of fashion. Set an alarm clock maybe?0 -
Hi there,
Really looking forward to next week too.
Great idea about reminder, I'll set my phone alarm to 1pm and that'll make me call the hospital. Excellent :beer::A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0 -
Hope all goes well with grandad's operation.
3 of my direct family members have had or are having operations this year and 1 of my sister's in laws.... You forget how common it is until it is you!

Your memory loss and forgetfullness is the chemo but it will improve given time...xxxx
hope grandads surgery goes well xx0 -
Thanks SH and Taxi.
SH - Everyone seems to have had this surgery so he's very relaxed about it...I would be up to hi doh. I have remembered to phone and have to call back at 3:30. Will take husky for walk first.
Taxi - thank you, I thought it was my imagination. I feel very slow witted at the moment. Book reading is coming back but any TV beyond Grey's or Bones is a struggle if it involves facts or complex plot lines.
Book and DVD about Oz came today along with a map. We can now start thinking about what we'd like to do.
Also letter from CSA. The £22 I was so excited about has stopped after 5 payments. According to the letter I should have received over £1000 in last six months, I've received £122 in last 4 and half years. So looks like he will continue getting away with this forever.:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust :A0 -
Hi - I trust you are getting back on to the CSA - what a nightmare!!
Hope surgery for grandad went well.

Hi,
I phoned the CSA and he's on benefits again. He should be paying £41 a week, but they expect him to pay only £22 now he's on benefits. In the past benefits has reduced his payments due to zero, so no idea what will be paid (my money's on nothing given past record). Arrears are now over £5k...ho hum.
Checked a tenant out this morning, house was immaculate and she paid on time every month...WHY OH WHY did she have to be the one to go...sod's law.
Emails are continuing with long lost friend. Given his firms billing rate I get about £500 worth a day. And he now includes clips and phones to make me laugh...I like this :T:T:T:A Let us be grateful to people who make us happy: they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
