Evening everyone.

Raph - thanks for the tip about scrambled eggs for SickDog. I will try that...am seeing improvement all the time now thank goodness.

Deco - what a week you are having. thinking of you x

Well before the paid stuff I had a clean in the bathroom but overdid it on the shower unit and actually scrubbed away some of the numbers on the dial.

Priorities tomorrow morning are changing our bedding and doing some ironing (maybe).

Bins emptied - kitchen one soaking in bleach solution
Dustbins put out for tomorrows collection

Thanks again for your kindness - it means a lot x

Dinner made and decluttered. Dishes done and put away.
Was going to put off mopping the kitchen floor til tomorrow, but thought 'nuts to it' and just got on with it. Bit awkward with my now wonky mop but it got done

Off to bed in a minute as I'm up early for another boot camp.

i do 'have a feel' but i assume anything i find is cyst now (they told me if you get them once you are prone to them)

Don't let some !!!!!y nurse stop you from your health. I thought these were supposed to be the people campaigning for women to keep checking :mad:

mrs-moneypenny

thanks all for your kind words and support,

Deco so sorry to hear about your friend. my deepest condolences

Daisydoll

Deco-really sorry to hear about your friend

Raphael-thanks I knew there was a way but couldn't remember!

System

So sorry to hear your sad news deco, stay strong and remember the great friend you had, even if just for a short time.

Not really kept up with the thread, struggling to get used to the weekly jobs and my usual life stuff and keep up - something has to give.

Have completed almost all my jobs this week, and a few frogs have been ate too

Hugs to those who are in need.

Also, with regards to breast don't forget those routine smear tests. I had my first routine one this year and the nurse was thrilled that I had gone, after just one letter, and she told me to tell all my friends. When speaking to friends it seems that no-one likes going so just puts it off and puts it off. Meanwhile it took about 60 seconds for mine, didn't even hurt, and I know that the results were good too Great to try and raise awareness - the things us ladies have to go through, more nurses should be kind like mine was!

Well I have done 25 party bags tonight and I've stitched DS initials on to the cuff of his gloves. I've also bunged a button on each and will look at his coat this weekend to see how best to attach.

Any suggestions on minimising glove-loss incidents for reception-age kiddies? DD has Velcro on tabs on her winter coat which came with some mitts attached. I was even thinking of using a sharpie to write his name on a button to stitch onto each glove

And then maybe glue them to his hands until spring :rotfl:


ETA agree about all the checks and screening, DH cousin currently having chemo for cervical cancer, refused to go for her smear tests just not worth avoiding, its only a few minutes discomfort X

thifty

Deco, Sorry to hear about your friend.
Jelly- hope DH feels better soon

been to see my dad, he is still on oxygen and been on a nebuliser again but he is doing ok and seems a bit more cheerful so I feel better.
Thanks everyone for your concern:A

I did succumb and thread my kids gloves on elastic to minimise the losses.......
