    I didn't manage to get on here yesterday. Had a day out with the kids plus more of the mammoth never-ending sorting task! Will try and catch up with what everyone's been up to later.

    Today's tasks are to get the house looking reasonable, pack for our camping holiday (not even started yet and we go tomorrow!) and of course more sorting - there are still 19 black bags of stuff cluttering up various rooms :eek:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: oops 5-6 bags of unwanted clothes..I'm not THAT bad!!!!

    right!! so far today I have wmx4 all pegged out and slowly cooking
    2 more loads to go but OH is lying down so they'll have to wait (he has done the ironing tho' so I'll forgive him!!
    I have also washed out the cat litter tray and it's now drying in the garden in the sun
    I have also tidied and sorted the LR/DR of doom, I've put things away or binned them I haven't hoovered yet but I will!!

    Now I am pooped!! Feel quite washed out ATM but DR thinks its my meds so I'm gradually coming off one of the likely suspects, and sleeping a lot!!

    I have done well so far so I may go and have a small nap like snooze after all if OH can then so can I!!
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    It is really hot here. Done my gardening job next door, need to pop back in a bit with a different tool but that shouldn't take long.

    Lunch cooking for the kids and I need to make a cake as it is DHs birthday, then a friend is coming so might make some gingerbread men for the kids too.

    Hi everyone.

    Hoppy Birthday to Mr Dusty:beer:

    LW one day you will allow helen or myself to help you out, so you dont have to put yourself through CMK and your legs etc, or at least allow us to meet you to load / unload your wheelchair!! glad OH is on the mend
    Yes, I will.:o Tbh, all I could think about was getting the prescription filled and getting the first tablet into Mr LW asap - and of course, I did have the car available, which I don't normally as Mr LW uses it for work (a further complication is that my wheelchair actually lives in the car, so when he's at work, the chair's not here for me). Normally my only transport option is my mobility buggy.:o
    LW hows Mr Wolf today?
    Thank you - in fact, thanks everyone for all your kind wishes and thoughts.

    He's doing a little better today, I think the anti-b's are starting to work. He didn't get up quite so many times in the night (though I did have another load of washing to do this morning).
    Most importantly, he's managed to declutter a little food. He had a slice of toast with HM greengage jam for brekkie, and similar at lunchtime. It's the first food he's had in over 2 days.

    He's still very tired (not surprising) but he's looking a little better - I can't put it in words properly, but he doesn't look quite as washed-out, iyswim.:o It's given us both a scare because he's never ill - in fact this is the first sick leave he's had since starting at his current job, 6 years ago!
    I'm always mindful of the fact that he's a decade older that me - and that his dad died aged 59, and his sister aged 57.:(

    But hopefully, all will be well - I'm grateful that it's such good drying weather today.:D Roundtuit there's a formerly-minging dressing gown on my washing line, too.:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
