    Running through whie catching up on calls and cancelling appointments... and seeing if I am allowed to post again :p.. I brokkid my lappy.... or Squeak did!

    DS3 has been unwell for about a week so we went to docs and he collapsed in a wilted heap so was ambulanced in.. so I am on manic this week again.. Kh is being a KH about it and refused to come see the diabetic nurse if i was going to be there.. he really needs to grow up.. shame he cant see this is about DS3 not him! DS3 is doing well and should be home Thursday or Friday.

    Elyssia (Dot) is doing really well... sleeping, eating and growing...

    Squeak is being an absolute horror lol... she is just about walking and wants everything she cant have :D

  • Hi all

    Plumber is here fitting new boiler. He removed the old one yesterday from lounge (new one going upstairs) dust sheets everywhere! My flylady wings have been clipped for the time being (still no hot water).

    I have sanded and washed 90% of the woodwork in the kitchen and painted undercoat. Was intending to sand, wash and undercoat the other 10% but have woke up feeling light headed, even after 2 crumpets and 2 cups of tea the feeling hasn't abated.

    Pigpen - Dot's name is beautiful. Hope DS3 is feeling much better
    Seafarers - aren't you due soon? take it easy and try not to over do it.
    euronorris - hope you feel 100% soon and happy knitting

    Everyone else hope you are well xx
