Pigpen - have had smiles for about 2 weeks now and the chuckling in sleep for a week. Tiny is also selective with her smiles, I tried not to take offence at being laughed at lol. Although I'm sure I looked rough at 2am. Current party trick is pooing mid nappy change.

Have a good day and hugs to all.

She has been smiling 3 or 4 weeks but still rarely. If she is awake she is eating.

Had a good scrub and fling today.. My sister came round and we did the kitchen which was a pit and the backroom and some of the hallway..
3 binbags of rubbish out and 3 for chazzer and a broken toy tub out.. I am so sick of this hovel!!

Sis is coming on Tuesday to take my steamer to my brother after his broke last week and she wants some of my fabric stash and she is going to help sort the toy boxes out before Santa visits with more stuff!

4 loads of washing done out on the line and in dryer and DW x5 and maybe 1 load more to go through.. I am seeing if the table mats can cope with it.. if not I shall visit Tesco and replace them! I need a new tablecloth too.

If you hear reports on the news of a murder in Essex it is me. DS1 has not got up and has missed his job centre interview for the 2nd time. I am so angry I could kill him.

2 x HHI done and more to go. There is more steam comimg out of my ears than the iron.

:mad: I'm so cross on your behalf; shame I'm not closer - 5'2" and crippled or not, I'd have him down the Jobcentre in his jammies! I'm carp at doing stuff on my own behalf, but if someone upsets a friend of mine.... - well, you haven't seen the Wolf throw a paddywack, have you?:D

Out early this morning as I was having my photo took with other volunteers for a press release re the A&E pilot scheme.

Came back and met DD for lunch and shopping. She has told me what has been going on but I didn't let on I knew. Just talked it through with her. Glad I held fire as there was more to it. Hopefully it will sort itself out. She hadn't wanted to worry me.

Dailies done
Cat stuff done
Tea is made and just cooling.
Washing put away.

Waiting for the boiler man to fix bedroom radiator. Hope he isn't too long.

Healing vibes for Sick Dog.

An hour will make a big difference in your Room of Doom! Is it one big hotspot? Put the timer on and do chunks of 15 minutes filing, flinging, sorting tidying.

Still working on the filing cabinet! However, I am now carrying out AnWsMum's patented proper 'Dot to Dot' technique and clearing up the muddles from the filing cabinet as I go. I've just brought the two accounts spreadsheets :eek: up to date and am working my way through the Household file (not the Flying file, which requires another sort through later). This is sort of never-ending.

Jazee

Thank you for all your best wishes for SickDog. She is home but only while we decide how long she has palliative care, as unfortunately it turns out she has a liver tumour.

So lots of cuddles for her tonight and no flying. I may make tea or see if DH wants to get a takeaway. I really can't be bothered.

Hugs where needed, and thank you again.

Pollybear

I'm mostly a lurker, but Jazee I'm so sorry about sickdog. I know you will do the right thing but it's so, so hard

Honey_Bear

I'm so sorry to hear about SickDog's diagnosis, Jazee. Please give her a gentle hug from me, take a couple for yourself and your OH, and spend as much time as you can loving her while you still have her. The only consolation I can think of is that this means you can plan very carefully for her.

Finally home, spent a bit much, but at least it was all cash not credit card.
