Hi everyone

Been missing in action as DH has been quite poorly, at work then at home then back at work, a real roller coaster these last few weeks, he's been to hosp today, they have ruled out a couple of things but they aren't too sure what his probs are but they are now investigating the possibility of cancer. Bit of a shocker to hear it out loud but best dealt with head on, I'd rather know but I think DH wouldn't. So i'm logging in to try and get some order back in this house and so that I can concentrate on something other than the C word.

Today I have - ironed for 4 hours, I have 1 basket left but I've had enough of it for now, also done the daily kitchen stuff and hoovered all downstairs, need to put all these clothes away but at least I won't be hearing "Mummmmmm I've got nothing to wear" lol

Hugs to all poorlies and sticks and spoons in a heap - help yourselves

Girls collected.. OH building a chest of drawers.. one down

Tiddles back to school for 5:30 so I need to throw dinner at them shortly (pasta with garlic bread and salad.. lazy food!)

I am about 1/4 of the way up DD1's jumper back.. it is knitting up really quickly.. I might actually get it finished before the wool for the remainder of the babys blanket turns up!! .. unlikely of course.. but the jumper is for Christmas so will get dropped.

Kitchen needs a wipe over but is looking habitable! :eek:

I REALLY need to vacuum the rest of the house though.. it is quite bin like!

had a bit of drama at food bank this morning one of the other volunteers turned quickly and slipped landed badly on the floor and ended up having an ambulance called out as it was thought shed broken her hip. (she is 84 so hoping she will be nothing more than bruised and shaken)

Helenjelly, hugs and positive vibes for you and your DH

Hello all. Just about to go off to work but am pleased to report that I am all up together for today. DH can bring in the clean dry washing and hang out the wet when he gets back from the shops. I may quickly have a chance to wash a window before I go but I doubt it .
Hugs to all who need them xx
