    LW i hope you are feeling a bit more pain free now, hope that friend will do the little tasks you mentioned. continued full recovery vibes for MrLW

    brilliant news pigpen, so pleased to read that.

    eaten a frog, deleted 2,000 emails, just got a soaking wet DS2 home the heavens opened up and he came in dripping.

    just topped payg phone up on o2 i always use a card and usually get a text straight after, but no text so reread the voucher and it said top up was successful but to ring top up line i then had to put code in manually to complete the top up. mentioning this just incase anyone uses the same method and throws the reciept away thinking they dont need to do anything with it.

    Squidgey marshmallow chocolate brownies are cooking as we speak - smell gorgeous! Haven't done Level 1 today as just been having a nice time with S; I can do the basins etc another time.

    Pigpen so glad everything is OK for your daughter; when is the baby due?

    LameWolf so sorry to hear you've been in a lot of pain :( - have you seen we've got a Whippet puppy as well as Pip the JRT now? He's great fun and you can't help but smile :)

    Went to town so I have more supplements and the boys enjoed the free tea and cakes.
    Just had a nice hour cutting back stuff in the front garden.

    Washing in and dry as it went quite dark.

    Going to feed the mogs and then do another HH in the front garden which will see the long border all done for now, wheelie is already half full; yesterday I filled mine, neighbours with their stuff and 2 neighbours opposite half filled bins and neighbour up the roads 1/4 full bin. I love bin collection day.

    Piggers great news for DD, she must feel releived.

    LW gentle hugs

    DS pe trainers don't fit and they had nothing white in Mr A, oh dear. Did get DD some short sleeve tees though and some more socks for me. I seem to have put holes in about 6 pairs lately.

    DD appointment decluttered. Gah. They give me different advice every time I go. This time it's white bread. She barely eats bread but oh no even half a slice is no good for her. And we should avoid dairy and go back onto oat milk. And yet she's been doing fine, well controlled by the medication. I know some people have to avoid dairy but would you do it through choice for a 4yr old? "sorry pet you can't have an icecream, but your brother can".
    I don't think so. She doesn't have a lot, everything in moderation, I say.

    Then DS wanted to spend, so we've been to B&M and he bought a small mat with some mini cars. And I got a kids table, parasol and chairs set reduced, been looking for one for ages!

    Right, DS has asked for pasta (also food of the devil apparently) so off I go.

    Pigpen - so glad your DD's little one is ok

    I've labelled all DS stuff (except one pair of trousers which need an iron and I'm not convinced the seams are right, so I'm leaving them until I check)

    Food shopping listed and shopped for, and bank stuff seems finally to be sorted.

    Washing machine person can't come before next Wednesday!!!!!! I am cross because it took 3 days to finally talk to someone. This is the second time it has packed up in 18months. I do know a great repair guy who I know would bend over backwards to get here tomorrow, and apologise for the wait, but I can't contact him cos the machine is still under warranty.

    Mum says she will be in this evening so i can go round there to do at least one load. I need to decide what needs doing the most. They have found a flat - we have lived 5 mins from each other since DS was 2, so I'm feeling a bit sad that they are moving away, but their bungalow is too much for them and they have found a retirement flat near my sister -they couldn't afford one near here. I will miss being able to nip in and see them, and they have helped out with DD since we took her our of school, so I will have to try and rearrange things a bit. Still they have wanted to move out of London for a while so I'm glad they are able to do that at last

    you know how she is after shes eaten certain foods so i would say go with your gut and what you think is right for her.
    glad you got your patio set (the sun is supposed to be coming back this year at some point for a late summer)

    DS2 said he almost wished i hadnt found his pe top while he was getting changed it disappeared, he said he took it off got changed turned round to put his stuff away and no shirt!!! GRRR down to last one now. after that it will be nip down Ts for a plain white non logo one. he hads come home with a really nice hoodie - the school only went 11-16 last year so they are buying all the new year 10 students a special hoodie to mark the moving up occasion

    Can report that the brownies were excellent; I've only had 1 but my husband wasn't quite as well behaved! Got paid stuff to do this evening, need it as skint due to no real work for almost 6 weeks.

    Mumto2 now you've reminded me, yes I do remember seeing that you've a whippet as well as Pip now; sounds like fun!:o

    I think my problem right now is I'm forcing my recalcitrant paws to do things; I simply haven't the time to not do stuff, if that makes sense. But it does mean I'm taking time-outs to use the N0vasonic device to try and reduce the pain, instead of compiling posts on here.:cool:

    Anyways, Mr LW is home, and our HM pizza is nearly cooked, so time to pack the netbook away, methinks.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
