    Afternoon everyone Oh dear there are some of us in need of <<Hugs>> today.
    Good vibes to all in pain or sadness from north Kent

    Well normality is back into my life with Book club this morning after dropping the boys off at school then a quick flit to pick up some tomatoes so I only spent 92p today in farm shop I thought if I went to the supermarket I would probably have been tempted so I gave my cash to the local farm shop instead,far more deserving anyway.
    Shortly after a cuppa I shall be off again to pick the boys up from school and then round to their house until mum or dad arives home from work.Tonights dinner is pork chop, salad potatoes,carrots and LO cauli cheese from DDs yesterday and some apple crumble for pud.
    Weather is quite mild for almost mid-January which is good as it will help keep the bills down hopefully.
    take care all

    monnogram (((hugs))) I am so sorry.

    uolypool Blimey. How frightening. x

    I have sorted out the carrier bag breeding centre AKA the floor of my pantry. They are all organised for now.

    Mash made to top the cottage pie mixture I defrosted from the freezer.

    I have done a bit of ironing.

    I snuggled some babies in toddler group this morning. Lovely.

    School run in a bit. Neither go to school in catchment so I'm afraid I have to drive each day, am & pm.

  • Hi Guys!

    Thanks for all my lovely messages and glad I've not been forgotten:D

    Haven't done much today as still in bed with no energy and high levels of pain. My PA (posh word for helper!) came this morning and she did the dw, wm, prepped veggies for dinner, hoovered & moped. She helped me have a shower and get dressed as my fingers aren't working well atm:o....meant OH could get on with work and all jobs done. She left me with a cheese/ham/pickle sandwich and a cuppa.

    I have been able to update my bank accounts, pay CC, sort out a Groupon deal I got DD and sort a box out I've been meaning to do for ages.

    OH dropped a load of books and bits to the charity shop as I couldn't be bothered to list them all on Ebay and wouldn't get much for them anyway. Also got rid of some bits on Freecycle.

    Its gone very dark here and cold. Im feeling the cold a lot again as my weight has dropped, so we have put an extra oil filled rad in our bedroom as Im spending a lot of my time there atm and turned the heating down elsewhere in the house to save a little and stop wasted heat. Having lots of hot drinks like Horlicks with extra food/calories etc to keep my warm and more food.

    Hoping you're all keeping okay.

    Ulypool how frightening. I am no Doctor (of course ;) but sounds like anaphalactic (sp?) shock (severe allergic reaction) to me. Anyway I am glad he is in the safest place and hope he makes a full recovery. Big hugs xxx

    Beth - so sorry I omitted positive vibes for your hospital visit this morning. Hope all is OK xxxx

    Hi everyone
    JG- this part is the worst as you wonder when its going to happen and it seems to be the longest wait but little Roo will come very soon now.
    LW-I hope the pain abates soon and you can get back your positive vibes Im another one who enjoys your posts about your doggy visitors
    UPool-I hope your son soons gets better

    Happy birthdays and hugs all round to the rest!!:)

    I havent been doing anything of interest today not even OS but I suppose you can call my SC being on with all the wilting veg out of the fridge OS, but thats it.

    I have a day off today, my TV aerial plug has broken, so the TV will only work upstairs (and Im not taking it up there again) and Im enjoying the peace and quiet, but I will have to get it sorted soon as I have visitors staying in a couple of weeks and they like to watch a bit of TV in the evenings:)

    Thats about it for now

    Evening all,
    Wasn't going to post until tomorrow as I've got quite a bit of pain, but after having read all the sad and worrying news I just had to say,
    UOLYPOOL OMG, What else can possibly happen to your family, sending positive vibes and hugs for you all. Was that emergency connected with the attack ?
    MRS MIX I hope you will soon feel better, take care Hun.
    MONNAGRAM, So sorry to hear of Cassie. ((hugs))
    LAMEWOLF, I wish there was something I could do, prayers just don't seem enough. Had a tear for you, wish there was a cure for your pain. Please stay with us. x
    PEN PIN, Sorry to hear you are so poorly, ((( warm Hugs )))
    BRAMBLE, Hope you got through today with family support.
    NMLC Happy Birthday for Saturday
    MUMMYSAVER, Happy birthday for today.

    The opp went ok, the Surgeon removed 2 lumps from my Colon, I have to wait 2 weeks for the Biopsy results. Unfortunately I'm suffering with Systitus (sp). Somehow I've ended up with an infection. Phoned the Dr this afternoon and explained, he said there will be a prescription for antib's waiting at the Surgery, so DH is getting them now.

    DH is treating us to a Chinese takeaway, so pleased as I'm quite tired due to the anesthetic so early night for me.

    Please all of you try and take care. x

    LW (((hugs))). Stay with us. I can send Oz down if needed - but don't you have a furry friend at the moment? Be positive and tell BD to s*d off.

    Beth enjoy your dinner.
