DS1 cleaned the back door inside and out, while DS2 kept DS3 playing in the garden. I'm now nearly through the washing, only 3 load left.

Sister and BIL have been up with Eva, poor wee pet has a chest infection. Hopefully she improves soon.:(

Now to get the kids to do abit more, while i crack on with my bedroom.

Rowan tree thanks, things are getting easier. As long as KD is good to them, thats all that matters.

LameWolf

Hi all; many thanks for all the kind wishes. Roundtuit - GWS.:o

Update:

Both awake all last night - Mr LW up and down to bathroom every half hour, me crying my eyes out.

This morning - he was worse than yesterday, rang GP surgery and asked for home visit (he can't stray from vicinity of bathroom).

Duty doctor phoned, put the fear of several gods up us by mentioning the possibility of a "surgical procedure".:eek::(

Dr P (who Mr LW sees when he goes for his 6-monthly meds reviews if at all possible) was, thankfully, the Dr who actually visited us - HE thinks Mr LW has a nasty infection, and has prescribed anti-flybotics.

I've been into town - ON MY OWN!!!! to get them; used up all today's spoons + tomorrows as well, and got royally lost getting home, but at least we have them. Thankfully, the nice pharmacist was on duty, and she dropped everything she was doing to get them into my hand in two minutes flat. It was also quite traumatic, I had to hobble on my sticks as I can't haul the chair in and out of the car myself, and I got a lot of funny looks because I walk really oddly (think "drunk duck in a full nappy"), but hey ho.

Mr LW still isn't eating (2 days with no food now):( but he is drinking green tea and Luc0zade (not at the same time, I hasten to add!)

Flying is officially suspended for this week.:cool:

GWS to Mr Lamewolf. IMO Flying can go on hold when you are looking after a poorly person, and from the amount you normally do, the Lair must be sparkly anyway (not like us grublets who have never Flown before).

pigpen

Sending huge hugs and spoons and bog off bug vibes for Mr and Mrs LW .. I hope you are both feeling better very and a mahoosive WELL DONE for going into town by yourself!! You did good!

Washing shuffled, folded and away
Kitchen swept again
Fruit whizzed and frozen for mixing with yoghurt or porridge for Dot
Dot fed and milked.. moo!
Kiddicare order done.. no of course I didn't need any of it and I was a teeny bit miffed that my £300 car seat is reduced to £220... but never mind!

S'posev I should pretend to show willing and sort some packing for his mothers next week.. My 1 dress is too big and fell off so I am going to boil in jeans all week & some more. I hate having to do ALL the packing myself.. I don't even want to go yet have to sort everything out myself AF is due Tuesday too so that should be interesting at best! that means I will be in a pig of a mood on Saturday when he wants to be driving there..

Not managed to do list yet, did mow the back garden. However, cutting the grass, moving furniture and then helping the 'freecycler' load it into his van has meant that my back has well and truly had enough today.

Did manage to get 2 loads of washing washed and dried. Will give my back a rest and try and clean bathroom later.

Sending GWS vibes to LW and Mr LW.

Valli

whew...thought it was the hols - doesn't feel like it...

anyhoo Pleased to hear Mr Wolf is being seen to and Lamewolf WTG!

So what's been happening in Valliland?

w-e-e-ll

I have emptied another wall unit - three, matching wall units in DR which sit side-by-side and have stuff in

one is books, DVDs and my Cds
one is glass display and, in the cupboard, our board games
one is a drinks cabinet, drawers and a shelf (one drawer is the man drawer)
today I tok all the CDs etc out of that cabinet, cleaned cabinet, moved into LR with the help of the kids and reloaded with cds etc. All the videos were in there. Apart from the special ones (a few home vids) they've all been taken to the CS along with all the cassettes - the ones I bought. FOUR CARRIER BAGS

I've also been to collect pull for bathroom window blind. In a stroke of genius I took th eold one with me - good job as they sent the wrong one so that's been re-ordered

Rung the WM man - he will take away my old one (I know Kazwookie - but it will be GONE and Boots would charge £9.99 to take it) and he says chances are my motherboard has gone, parts too dear and recommends Bosch - any thoughts?

Another wall stripped of top layer of wallpaper

Oh and I swilled out my green bin - it was VERY whiffy!

mrs-moneypenny

cases down nearly passed out as its so hot in the attic bm on with pizza base for tea doing,
found a box of occult and witchcraft books while up there belonging to DD2 from her goth phase, have rang a bookshop near where we holiday and hes interested in them so they are coming on holiday and hopefully not returning
forgot to say yesterdy pigeon has been decluttered to a local pigeon racer, its now up to the two pigeon type people to arrange between themselves what to do with it ocla guy likes it so said if owner doesnt want it hes happy to keep it with his. as long as it doesnt poop on my drive anymore i dont mind who has it.
LW massive hugs for you it obviously took a great deal of strength for you to do a solo trip to the chemist and in the extra stress and worried state you must have been in i can only imagine how difficult that was for you. gentle get well soon healing vibes for mrLW and calming vibes and lots of spoons for you
off to declutter the hole in the wall of some cash now and try and will do something off the list in the bathroom after ive had a bath so hopefully will achieve silver
