I have been up since just before 5, so I made a little start, there was only a few rogue toys under the beds, I don't like under the bed storage or any storage boxes, its just encourages me to keep junk I don't need, I did my beds on Monday and all the draws on Monday.

I will dust and hoover after I have done the dishes, then think about washing the windows... but no promises :rotfl:

Thanks for all your kind thoughts...

Mum did get the expected diagnosis. They have listened to everything she and my sister said and are going to test for secondaries in the bones.

The hospital team have pointed out that they think moving house and having surgery are not a good mix, so they aren't going to operate - they will do all the tests and pass on the info when mum moves.. Her breathing is an anaesthetic concern too, apparently.

I'm still processing the news... It wasn't helped that mum chose to ring a friend before me on Monday night...
