    I can't remember whether I said I was in again this week, still slow progress but getting there - been completing bits - i know not the entire point but it is far better than the nothing which is where I was at before. Just back from OH's (foolish boy wants me to help him clean his place once the building work has finished!)
    so decluttering a cuppa and then HHC at 9am otherwise i won't get anything done today,
    £400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.
    1% target £4000 so far £20 paid

    Morning all

    Another sunny day here.

    Me please take care with your knee.

    Thanks for the good luck wishes for DS3. He came second. I thought this was great but he was not happy at all as he was beaten by the boy he beat last week. They are in the same class at school and DS3 is a sore looser - the teacher has been given the heads up.

    Hair cut this morning so I'll make a start on my dailies until the hairdresser arrives.

  • Morning all
    After my 1.15 HHC yesterday OH appeared in for his break so I got him to take me to Iceland and Tesco cause I was old mother hubbard again. Came in couldn't get near a computer (school hols), stuck the shopping past, tidied round and then had a coffee out the back while chatting to my NN. DS2 came running out MUMMMMMMMMMMM DS1 has fallen through the bathroom door. :eek: So I spent until midnight at hospital with him. He had slipped on his crutches (he's in stookie after breaking his ankle) and fell backwards through the glass door. He needs to go to theatre later on for a cut to the groin and he's coverd in smaller cuts and scratches. Flying will be at a minimum today and I'l post when I can Off to phone hospital again to see if the Dr has been round yet.

    Hugs FFP - of the dodgy variety, but still a hug... :grouphug: Hope everything is ok.

    WM shuffled, Council tax and water called.... got some good news from them as they have issued a rebate cheque :) I like those.

    Anyway, back to the kitchen x

  • Good Morning All

    FFP - healing wishes sent for your DS - hope he is feeling better this morning. You must be feeling shocked - accidents happen so quickly.

    I admit that I am struggling with sitting still as I dont feel ill. My knee has obviously filled up with fluid again but because it has been super glued there is no escape! I think I will have to bug the GP again as the swelling is now over the knee and extending up my thigh and down my shin.

    I think I will just unpack some boxes but very slowly with rests in between rather than going for the full lists. Right off to put kettle on then will unpack some books from the current box.
