Nails done
Baby washed and changed after she projectile vomitted all over the pushchair and herself!
Squeak fed and changed..
Baby stuff in WM

Off to the hospital... again!!!!!!!!!

I am strongly of the opinion that there should be some form of loyalty scheme for those of us who spend nearly as much time in hospitals as we do in the outside world - a Frequent Flier card.

The physiotherapist agrees.


I have put WM on, TD on, much to my disgust because the washing line has collapsed again and dumped everything on soaking wet grass, plus the DW.

Sink is bleaching.

Loo is bleaching.

I am now out of bleach again.

I have got the bedroom ready for vacuuming (next job), the windows are open (and filthy) and I have a LOT of cleaning to do.



[whispers in case karma hears and catches up with me]

We have no hospital appointments next week.

Although I need to book a flu jab,
chase up rheumatology about getting a steroid shot before I am at my first ever proper gig next Sunday,
learn three songs perfectly,
do something about the inflamed gum that is bothering me
and make sure Minion gets the HPV vaccine as she missed the first one due to being in Cardiology - or was it physio? - this week. Oh, and mention to the GP that I've been getting some funny uncomfortable feelings in my chest despite cutting out caffeine almost totally for about a month.



I've got a confirmed gig booking! And he was emailing constantly to get me to reply and confirm I was still available!



[looks at state of house]

Cat for SALE OR free to good home :mad:

Jinks has just climbed in my clean washing basket with mucky paws/muddy underside and decided to play hide and seek in my clean washing! i need to wash my bedding again thankfully its just the pillow cases and some jumpers and not the duvet but its annoying.

still got bathroom to finish and beds to clean, its way to hot in the spare room so going to put the fan on in here and close the curtains in the hope that its cooler otherwise i will be sleeping in the kitchen!

That cuts more than one way

Nice!! On both counts....



As far all the Mrs La-dee-da's Id need to change it to something like this... 'well I COULD stay at home and live solely off my husbands handouts, however...... '

I was also thinking along those lines but didn't want anyone to think I was criticising their choices - but if PTA people are going to make such tactless comments about things that are actually none of their business I think they need to be put firmly in their place. Much like these peoplel who feel it perfectly alright to ask a childlesss lady if/when she's going to start a family.

Seafarer's cat riddance HERE

done my Friday errand
pegged out bedding
more bedding in WM
dug strawbeery bborder over
going out tonight to see Judy Dench et al in Jane Eyre - what with bumping into her at Rowsley and, when I asked her if she was holidaying she informed me she was filming so feel duty bound to watch her what wiht her being SO nice and lovely and signing an autograph for me
