    Morning flyfriends

    Washing number 1 on the line and number 2 just about to join it. I will get my bedding in next and then fling it out too. I've started rehoming the stuff out of the LR into its rightful place, so for me that's not too bad at this time.

    OH didn't have a great night in hospital he was up most of the night in pain but the nurse I spoke to said she thinks he will get home today :mad: if they can't control his pain how can I ?

    FFP.. He can resort to the Scots 'cure-all' once home can he not? :p Sounds like he will be doing much more than his share of complaining over the next couple of weeks. You may want to consider trains to escape! lol
