    Molly (((HUG))) I know; nasty intrusive questions on the forms, and you feel like crying when you've finished. :( Hang in there, mate.

    (((((molly))))

    I didn't end up going anywhere today, just been pottering around. Everytime I contemplated going out for a walk/drive it absolutely poured down! I did pop to Co-op for their cheese offer though.

    My brother is back in the UK :) he has been travelling for last 5months but landed back home late last night. I spoke to him earlier but probably won't get to see him til next month.

    OS wise - hoovered, put laundry away, dishes washed, bins emptied, using up sad looking veg for lunch and tea.

    Need to pack my bag for Edinburgh, I've got stuff ready just need to pack it.

    Hugs to you Molly.

    FB Have a good time in Edinburgh!

    Just been to see Salmon Fishing in the Yemen with DD which was quite good, not quite the same as the book though (as usual).

    Oh well, Monday tomorrow, hope you all have a good week. Take care. XX

    Molly huge hugs to you.

    Well a couple of eventful days with woofer. He just keeps crying if if cant see me. As soon as I appear he stops. When will he learn that I do need a wee at some point during the day. Other than that he isn't being to bad.Still won't go in the cage but doesn't get off the quilt either. He is beginning to weight bear on it now and it looks fine. Have to take him to the vets for a post op check later this week.Have borrowed Betsys soft buster collar as he was waking up with his head and the buster soaked where as this one collapses when he lays his head down.
    So having to do bits as and when . Thank goodness our sofa is a proper metal action sofa bed so am managing to get some sleep at night.

    My friend lost her long term partner to cancer Friday night. Am devestated for her, she phoned me early hours of sat morning and I spent the early hours with her and their children. Have told her that I am only 5 mins away day or night. She is going to need alot of support in the coming weeks. 2 deaths in as many weeks hoping that is the end of it . I feel awful saying that but I dont think I could cope with any more heartache atm.

    Evenin m'dears,

    Sorry I haven't been posting or reading much lately. Mum still in hospital, been in a week and after a deep scan they found a fracture which means she should have been resting not doing physio, then I turned up for visiting on Friday to be told she'd been moved the night before to the hospital down the road, me nor either of my sisters informed :mad::mad::mad: Have asked for the complaints procedure. Apparently the lady in the bed opposite in this hospital was left in her chair last night all night, and nobody came when the bell was rung :mad::mad:

    Sorry about the rant but it's not been a good week, all the to-ing and fro-ing to see mum, working shifts and a frined's mum's funeral :(

    Hoping at least now they know what's wrong with mum she'll be on the mend and home soon. :o

    Hugs to everyon in need, I'll try and keep up.

    Jan xxx

    Uolypool huge hugs for your friend and to you!...and to everyone else who wants/needs one!
    Had a rotten day, hadn't checked the answering service since wed, checked this morning and there was a message on Thursday regarding DS, and the fact he hasn't been at college, here we go again, me and OH bickering and if he had been here when I was at my angriest he would currently be clutching his binbag toddling off to stay elsewhere, not because of college but because of the lying he thinks he can get away with..........not a happy mum today, went to bed this afternoon to stop me fighting with OH, however he was a snarly so and so when I got up to make dinner, so he's away to bed early. Families, where can you trade them for something useful like a bottle of wine and multipack of crisps?????
    RIP Iain

    Evening everyone

    Absolutely no os today apart from ironing uniforms for tomorrow. Went to watch the london marathon as my sil was running in it. then went out to eat in canary wharf so had a fun day, even ds2 was so good today.

    Cariad - Hope your mum is soon on the mend. I can understand your anger at the hosp and their treatment of patients. Thats disgraceful.
    Jools - I Hope you manage to calm a little before you see your ds, I once had my sons workplace at the time phone him and I thought he was at work, oh I was so angry, I understand your pain.
    Uolypool ((Hugs)) to you and your friend.
    Molly ((Hugs)) I hate those forms with vengence, find them so upsetting. That reminds me I still haven't had a reply to ds2 reapplication I did.
    Jackieo - glad your arm is improving.

    Well I'd better say goodnight. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take Care.

    Sorry Jan - you've lost me there, the site doesn't seem to have changed to me, never used the 'v's. DG
