Hi lovelies

Thanks for your well wishes and kind comments. I am still in , just over a month now. The consultants think another 10days - 2 weeks in then home possibly still being tube fed. I am a complicated case for them but they seem to be formulating a plan now. It has been a tough month.

Hope you all doing good , hugs all round. Can't be on internet long as using phone as a hot spot lol.

Aaarggghhh just wrote a long a post but lost it when I tried to submit it - the ONE time I didn't save it into word!!! I shall try to remember what I wrote.

UnluckyT hello and welcome! :wave:

Junior so sorry to hear you're back in hospital, how horrible for you. I hope they find out the problem soon, glad to hear they're formulating a plan for you. As others have said you've done the right thing postponing your exams as you want to be at your best, good on you for continuing to revise though. x

freespirit sorry to hear you've been so ill. I hope it either goes away or they can figure out what it is. Good for you for going to the doctors.

feisty glad to hear you are out of hospital, I hope you are starting to recover. How frustrating for you with the estate agents, these things take time and they know that but are always trying to panic people hurry things along. I really dislike dealing with them, they have a bad reputation and they wonder why! I hope it all gets sorted for you soon, you don't need this pressure.

mrs-moneypenny try not to over-do it with all of these extra hours you are doing, make sure you make time to relax.

I haven't been on for a while as I've been busy doing jobs on my to-do list, i'm trying to make the most of DH being at home. Quite boring but necessary! No more Christmas prep done here yet. I'm off to London on my own tomorrow to visit a friend for her birthday, we're going for afternoon tea and then a walk around Hyde Park if the weather is nice.

Oh Junior, so glad you have a plan, but so sorry you're stuck in for a while yet. Lack of signal in the hospital was so frustrating, I can sympathise! X X X

3forholidays fingers crossed for a big win!

Princess, I hope you have a great day tomorrow! It sounds wonderful

Evening everyone, i woke up this morning feeling numb, went back to bed 3 times, just had nothing to give in me, wasnt just a case of cba it literally was no can do, all i have done today is load the DW and clean the sides down and cook a pasta bake which i even managed to co*k up by cooking the pasta too long :rotfl::rotfl:i hope i wake up with some energy tomorrow my floors are desperate for hoovering and mopping!

JJ oh you must be so bored and fed up, i hope they have found a plan for your treatment my lovely and you can go home soon, i bet your mum is missing you loads!

PRINCESSKITTY i dont blame you for getting the jobs done while DH is around, i have a few jobs that are becoming urgent before Thumper is crawling around! Ooh have a lovely day out tomorrow sounds lovely

Good morning, good people, Freespirit, you are having a tough time, hun, hope it gets over soon, and you feel better. xxx. Feisty, you too, [EMAIL="bl@@dy"]bl@@dy[/EMAIL] estate agents, and [EMAIL="bl@@dy"]bl@@dy[/EMAIL] sellers! hang in, at least you are out of hospital, hope that that helps.
Hugs to all who need/want them, and a special one for JJ so l don't dislodge the tube! Gosh, you are amazing, never cease to admire your stoicism and positivity.xx
Chez invis looks like a padding can at the moment, l am spending my time and using my 'spoons' on DD, DS2, and the garden, (most of which came into the house on my shoes).
DD went to CAB yesterday, the lovely lady there saw all the mistakes the DWP etc had made, she spoke to the esa people and is getting a new assessment form sent out. the good news is that the CAB lady is certain that DD will get HB. (all these letters, and abbreviations, hope the post makes sense.)
Storms on Monday blew a pane out of the older greenhouse, it broke....of course. Nev replaced it on Wednesday so it is useable again. Phase 3 has begun, small paved area has been dug up and replaced by turf (left over from another of nevs jobs, so gratis, except for a bottle of (raffle prize) wine to the other job person).
and my lovely neighbours came back from the outer Hebrides and brought me a bottle of single malt for doing their bedding tubs and stuff. I may use my new iron today, exciting stuff, eh?

Evening everyone, pain not really too bad now but now my leg is painful in the same place again so must have trapped a nerve AGAIN :mad: uggh you couldnt make it up, i might change my username to hypochondriac :rotfl::rotfl:but anyway managed to get out of the house (first time in 3 weeks) and went to HB and tesco to pick up my shop on click and collect, got DS some socks to go into his stocking (very exciting NOT) have had a couple of Tesco Salted Caramel drinks tonight to numb the pain haha

MRSINVISIBLE oh your family are so lucky to have a loving mum like you, so glad DD has some encouraging news at last (good old CAB) i do hope inbetween you are looking after yourself too x

mrs-moneypenny

Thank you for the code freespirit
Hope everyone is well
Day seems to have flown by, a big of gardening, a lot of crocheting and dd3 came round for a film and pizza evening, she bought big hero 6 and we supplied the pizzas.
Use finishing of the last of a bottle of baileys from Christmas ...well someone had to.

princesskitty29

freespirit oh how rubbish that you're still not in a good way. Do you have to go back to the doctors again? I do hope it gets better for you. Glad to hear you managed to get out though, the salted caramel drinks sound just the tonic!

mrsinvisible glad to hear that DD is finally getting somewhere, I hope the support from the CAB eases the stress a little bit. The garden sounds like it's coming along a treat! You go easy with that iron now, you don't want to get too over-excited!

I had a nice day in London yesterday and managed to blag a champagne afternoon tea for £14pp! I say 'blag', but actually I had to make a gentle complaint that the service wasn't great. The staff were really friendly and I told them that, but they kept forgetting to come back to us with things even though the restaurant was half empty! So they gave us the afternoon tea at an offer price. We then spent the rest of the day wandering around Hyde Park, it's amazing how big it is and how long it takes to see the different things. Quiet day at home today getting on with more jobs I expect! First stop cleaning the kitchen.

Evening everyone, i got much more done today even though my leg is still painful, so can look after Thumper for the next two days without worrying about housework, DD1 bought takeaway tonight so i had a night off cooking :T so just sat back and watched Revenge on catchup tv, with a glass of wine (i'm at it again :eek:) and my feet up OMG i am watching channel 4s comedy gala and just heard the theme song to Our Tune :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:does anyone remember that? It used to be on the radio, i cant remember what DJ Simon??? and he used to tell a really sad life story about a listener??? I know, I know i am showing my age now :rotfl::rotfl:

MRSMONEYPENNY oh i want to see that film it looks quite funny, your film and pizza evening sounds fab

PRINCESSKITTY glad you had a lovely time with your friend yesterday, fab bargain for a champagne tea shame the service wasnt very good though! I am waiting for an appt for a scan for the lump and have to go back in a week if pain still there, but it is getting better each day now

FeistyFidget

Princess, so glad you had a nice trip but so sorry it was marred by poor service! At least you managed to get some form of compensation though

Free did the doctor say how long you may be in pain for? I don't want to nag, but perhaps you need to go back and ask for more advice if you're still bad.

Not much to report from our end, all quiet on the house sale/purchase front, fingers crossed it stays that way until we have an exchange date!
