Hi,

Not been able to reach the computer for the last couple of days. I think the Rev will be dismantling it in the next couple of days so that will be me off the scene for at least a week and possibly quite a bit longer.

Glad some problems seen to have been mitigated while I've been away. Hope nothing disastrous happens while I'm moving. I will keep on reading for as long as I can.

Some nice men came today and took down my garden shed which will be used for the local playgroup to keep their outdoor toys in. DS2 came also and went off with a freezer and 2 garden benches. Things are gradually getting sorted but only by me starting work at 6.am when things are quiet and the doorbell isn't ringing every 5 minutes. I suppose we will be ready by next Monday but at the moment I don't see how!

the heat has gone and I am Finally feeling cool..

Sorry guys, what is the Aldi Thursday voucher alert all about? I love Aldi & I'm terrified I'm missing out :-/

SQ If OH is stopping breathing he has got sleep apnoea. It is very easily fixed with a cpap machine not meds. Like me your friend probably had it for years. If you can persuade him to go to dr he will be caught early and have much less likely to ever be so exhausted he falls asleep anywhere. I used to go to sleep on the loo. :rotfl:

Just keep gently persuading you will get there and you will be both glad he did.

Shergar so do I if I don't use the cpap. It's dreadful how tired you get isn't it. I think I had it nearly 20 years before I was diagnosed.

there will be a voucher in the daily mirror on thursday for aldi
its usually a £5 off £45 spend plus a load of other money off vouchers all for aldi
i don't use the £5 voucher but the others are usually worth having, sometimes i buy more than one paper if the smaller vouchers are for something i use regularly

Joy -Good luck with the move! We'll miss you but hopefully it won't be long before you are back. Best wishes and Bon Voyage to you both.

Just sending (((HUGS))) to everyone, I'm madly busy this week trying to get the house looking a bit more respectable for stress-inducing brother's visit on Thurday:eek:

savingqueen

thanks nursemaggie - I will do my best, pick a good moment to talk with him again.

ivyleaf - make time for breaks and don't get too stressed in advance of the visit. hope the visit goes as smoothly as it can.

monna - good luck with the move. its surprising what you can achieve when the adrenaline flows! will be thinking of you.

Princess - are you ok?

boys and I woke up feeling worse today. I have a stonking headache and not up to going out, just pottering about. Boys although a bit poorly have perked up again as kids do and playing some sort of role play game that is doing my headache no good. Trying not to moan, just kids being kids but it feels like a long day already! As I type the game is abandoned and screens turned on.... ok as long as the sound is low and not too much beeping.

take care everyone
SQ
