    Hello all

    GWS vibes to all the poorlies or those with poorly family members

    I've gone off list today after the devil kitten (must be related to your cat hb) knocked over a plant pot on the kitchen table overnight. All my papers, bank book and a walking book have been waterlogged. So it was the kitchen for me after the paid stuff.

    Kitchen table wiped, steam cleaned and wiped again
    Hob steam cleaned and wiped
    Worktops steam cleaned and wiped
    Floor hettyed and steam cleaned
    DW on and emptied
    Soup made
    BM on so I'll wake up to fresh bread

    To do list:

    Book drama queen kitty in for booster
    Book devil kitten in for his 'big boys' operation and microchipping
    Ring decorator
    Book train tickets

    Goodnight all

    Morning everyone.

    Must have been cold during the night as the cat has been under the quilt.

    Yesterday was just the dailies, some washing put away and a S&S in the bathroom. I have certain days for certain rooms but have changed that around a bit. Today It's the living room.

    Need to nip to MR As first though then get started. DD coming for lunch then I'm off to see friends later.

    Hugs,spoons, sticks and get well vibes where needed.

    morning all
    LW thanks for the warning ive already wolfed down a handful of almonds while doing the boys pack ups.
    bmma, im veggie as is DH and 2 of the kids, 1 is vegan as and her partner and his kids, then i have 2 meat eaters.
    in the house there are 3 veggies and a meat eater, but vegan DD comes for sunday lunch every week with her partner so we pretty much all eat vegan then. (unless others ask for something different)
    i dreamed of christmas last night woke in a panic thinking its closer than it is.
    DS1 managed to break the puter first thing but the tried and tested IT solution of turning it off and on again (at the wall) helped fix it. LOL

    back once ive finished decluttering him to school

    Just to reaffirm that I am still here!


    We had a lovely week in Filey a couple of weeks ago, followed by an incredibly stressful week in which DD2 had an Ofsted inspection at work (after school club, so NO warning), had an MRI for her bowel problems (and predictably spent the following day closeted in the bathroom) and went to look at a flat with the idea of buying it...


    but I am here! All family members dispatched to work, so it's wasing and ironing here. DS has emptied his room of washing - so I now have Mt Washmore as well as Mt Ironmore! Not impressed!

    hope the ofsted inspection and the MRI went well and that the flat is the right price if its what she wants.
    ill join you in an ironing task later as i didnt get it all done earlier.
    need to go round mils to clean at some point this morning, and could do with spending some time with her in case she wants to chat. i not wanting to force the convo but im not sure if she understands fully what is going on and what was said at the last meeting. thankfully Dh is off at half term and she has another meeting with radiologist then so ive suggested its him that goes in with her to that as hes got a million questions buzzing round his head none of which he dare ask his mum

    mrs mp.. it might be best if DH does ask his mumthe questions it would be a good evaluation of how much she is aware of and how much she has forgotten or not taken in. You could then make a note of asking the consultant when you go. I would suggest you BOTH go at half term.. if you are going to be the main person going you need to be present for all conversations.. DH might forget to tell you the one bit of vital information you need. Having experience of this When my Aunt had bowel cancer and my uncle was too much of a flap to take anything in and my mother did the note taking and question asking.

    I have a pounding head this morning so am going to find tea and drugs.. I'm going to rattle!!


    Squeak talks.. incessantly!! Currently about Rapunzels hair and how her hair is almost longer than Rapunzels!
