  • I have swept and mopped the living room floor, wiped down the door and coffee table and dusted the TV and the bookcase.

    Well... DS1 is getting Fabian to the quack tomorrow and I am phoning ours from here.. and I need to ring my sister and possibly Jacobs mum.. in confirmed cases where there are at risk groups they recommend everyone is treated with AB's.. regardless of immunisations.. that means 10 of us, 2 of my sisters and my niece, DS1 +3 and Jacob's mum.. Oh the glee!!!

    Maybe I should find a walk in centre here for the girlies.. how good is it that I thought to bring their red books with me just on the off chance they had an accident or became unwell and we needed them? I never take them out of the house usually!!

    Triker.. so pleased your day was more pleasant.. When we are confirmed germless I shall insist you tell me all about it!

    Almost finished Squeaks cardy :D .. I love knitting with chunky! and it is 2x 200g balls out of my stash gone!

    Oh !!!!!!... I have now had DS2 on the phone saying KH is being a FW about DS3's diabetes and not treating hypo's properly... and giving him wrong amounts of insulin and basically being a kn0b ... I told DS2 to keep his eye on him for hypo's and to ring the nurse if KH is not looking after DS3 properly.

    See why I never leave my house!

    Bug free vibes for Samuel and the rest of the Piggers Tribe...

    Well, I don't think I'm destined to sleep this week. I ended up going to bed early last night (about 9.30). Slept like a log until about 3am when something woke me up. Was just dropping off to sleep when the policewoman across the road, clearly earlies, started up her car about 4am. Then stopped it. Then started it about 5 minutes later....

    Just dropping off after that and DS gets up because he's on early shift too! Although he was as quiet as could be, I was not fast enough asleep to not hear him IYSWIM. Then not long after he was out the front door, one of the kittens chases a pesky fly around my bedroom and there's buzzing and thumps as the two have a merry dance.

    I gave up after that and got up! Still, I have taken a day's leave from the normal job tomorrow (so I can do the part-time job!) and can lie in if needs be.

    Did minimal flying yesterday but did manage to gather together some interesting intelligence of a criminal nature which will be decluttered the way of my friendly local copper over the phone later this morning... :cool:

    And I forgot to put the bread maker on last night so I have no bread for sandwiches. Instead, I guess I'll have to boil up some pasta now and make a box of pasta salad for lunch rather than buy sandwiches at the shop...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I dare not tell you what I am mentally sending to Pigpen's KH - I'd be arrested for it!

    Many Posivibes coming the way of the Pigpen clan....

    Local chemist didn't have DD2's antibiotics so I had to go into town for them!:mad::mad: Still they are the most reasonable tasting she's had, apparently. Nurse said they were a 5 day course but has given us enough for 10 so I'll have to ring up later!

    Having changed DD2's bed at the weekend I shall have to change it again - poor thing is sweating buckets.... but she has at least slept through.. Sadly the promised rain has now arrived...it's very fine but it's grey and very overcast!

    Off to get DD1 up for her stint in the charity shop...

    Morning flyers

    courtesy of Boots I have been awake since 7:15...

    They called on the landline to tell me my WM will be here between 7 and 11 (automated message)

    They texted me - same message

    The lorry driver HIMSELF phoned on the mobilE - think that was the first one...

    Do they think I am some idle lay-a-bed?

    (:rotfl: - given half a chance;)

    Anyway I have moved the Vallimobile onto the 'lawn'

    and have weeded the block paving on the drive! half-abucket full of little grasses and tiny weeds!

    While the force is with me I may do more - tools will be called for!

    Hope all are OK Piggers

    And Piggers I could SLAP your KH

    OOOH

    a lorry's outside...

    *runs*

    ETA - I HAVE A WASHER!

    I have been up pretty much all night with the 2 tiddlies.. Squeak woke about 11 and went to sleep about 4 and Dot woke up about 4 and hasn't been back to sleep yet. Scarily both are coughing and snotting and grotting.

    I want to die I am so tired!

    Morning all. House vacuumed and swept, am just off to drop car off for MOT and will then carry on with the paid stuff. Drizzle here today so no dog walk yet.
    Spend less now, work less later.
