  • Good afternoon :D

    I have been to town and bought myself some new jeans & a top from Next. I had vouchers from Christmas, so only 'cost' me £5 :)DD2 got her gold pen & is now working on her book.
    I have vaxed the LR carpet (plus the patch under the table with mashed banana :mad:). I am now catching up with eastenders while i cool down. I like the sound of a cup of tea with a hot cross bun though :p

    DH & DS have gone out on their bikes. I think we are taking the dog out when they get back.

    More washing hung out.. strangely it does appear to be drying! Airers loaded up both WMs and the TD on.. I have 2 empty baskets to go upstairs and filled instantly no doubt!

    Still done no packing... it takes me 3 days normally!

    I'm afraid all I've managed to do is make and eat some lunch, put the washing in the TD, put the hoover round and s+s the kitchen :(

    I'll try and do more but really hoping tomorrow is better!!

    Thanks for that - sadly no sign at nightclub this morning so she has been to the police station to report it's loss/theft. I have cancelled the sim for her (all they would let me do - it's her account).

    She is on a train home, which is delayed. This will not go down well - she's fine on trains, except when on her own....

    And her friends facebook status has mentioned another panic attack:(:(:(:(

    Not much flying done, but I did make lentil and tomato soup, and the ingredients for S/W texas chilli burgers are resting in the fridge..

    Checking in..



    We are supposed to be going to OH's mums this weekend and I really really do NOT want to go.. my back hurts, my kidneys and bladder are on fire and I have so much I need to do in the house.. I might just send him with Squeak and stay here with Dot.. it isn't like they'd miss us 2.

    As a longtime sufferer of UTI's I SERIOUSLY recommend that you STAY PUT and look after yourself! Of course I struggled to my mums in January having just started a 3 day course of antibiotics for the self same problem! And it wasn't easy, but I'd promised my sister so I went!

    I ended up back at the doctors a month later with a urine sample that was a bit inconclusive - 4 days later the inevitable phonecall from the surgery saying there were a/b's waiting for me! Needless to say I felt an awful lot better once a 7 day course of a/b's had nuked the infection!

    What you need to do is stay at home, rest, drink loads and keep warm!
