Here we can all be heard for a little while. Part 3

Calley, hope your husband's op goes ok. Also hope you manage to speak to AM, I'm sure you'll feel better for it. There's a lot going on at once, it's only natural that you're feeling a bit stressed with it all.

Am working from home today.....well, am at home. Still in my pj's and currently doing some colouring! I usually sneak in a bit of housework on my days at home but I can't even find the motivation to do that today.

MU, congratulations on your anniversary and well done for standing up to the queue jumper. It really annoys me when people are allowed to get away with it so you definitely did the right thing.

Calley, I hope all goes well with the husband's op. Please tell AM what it is that's bothering you, I'm sure he'll understand and (if he's anything like me) it'll put him out of the misery of wondering what on earth he's done wrong.

(((( WW )))) I hope you're having a better day to today, go easy on yourself.

Calley, I think you should talk to AM. I know it's easy to say from the outside and hard to do on the inside, but it's true what they say about a trouble shared being a trouble halved.


I'm going to head to London in a couple of hours as it's a friend's birthday meal this evening. She has been really struggling with her MH following something that happened last year which bought decades of problems to a head and she broke down and started self harming again. But it has also meant she has finally got a MH diagnosis and is receiving treatment.

Hope you and your friend have a lovely evening ono.

Was indeed a lovely evening, eight of us in the end, some I'd met before and some I'd not. Very glad I went. I can't usually manage big groups, but it wad so relaxed it was fine

Hey guys. :hello:

How's everyone doing?

I've had a pretty awful week. There was a mock exam on Tuesday and it was awful. I was almost too embarrassed to hand the paper in.

There's a work situation (someone else's) which is preying on my mind and I have no idea how to help, if I can help or if the poor woman wouldn't be better off with another employer.

It's just rained on and off the whole week. I want to get out in the garden (and plant those bulbs) but it'll be a quagmire.

Maths and mud. That's the weekend ahead.

Evening my lovelies,

Hugs and squishes, handshakes all round. And anyone who needs more because they are having a carp time you are welcome to them as I have endless supply

Mu sounds like you have a keeper. I know I do too. Even his mums says he is a lovely guy but no practical skills :rotfl:and just needs a bit of nudge to keep him on track.

I did tell Am about it. And we stayed until about 10/15 mins before husband went down for the surgery. But his daughter and granddaughter where there until that time.

Well it turned in to a mare. He was having nasal surgery. But as he had a nose bleed just before he was due for his friend to pick him up at 7pm they kept in over night. So his friend had a wasted journey. he finally got released about 3pm this afternoon!!!!!!

This afternoon was like something from a farce. After loading up at AM'S we needed to drop a sofa off at husbands. So at one stage husband had two sofas in his mobile home one in the kitchen and one in the living room LOL!!!! so husband could not get back in his house.

So then after taking the sofa out of the van had to come home to empty the van here to go back and collect husbands sofa to come back here. And yes you guessed it, we got the van stuck on the grass. meaning we had to call my dad out to pull us off. And then rush back to husbands to get the second sofa out so he could get in his home. Managed to tidy up just before he got home :rotfl:

AM was not happy and felt very upset that he had done what he done and then had to call my dad out to help. He then took it out on the sofa that needed to come out of my living room that was going to the tip.

So all fun and games. Both still standing and we are not finished yet LOL!!!!

Everyone take masses of care as its not very nice out tonight.

Yours

Calley

I did get out into the garden but I still haven't planted the bulbs.

I cleared a path by the house of builders' rubbish, weeds and soil. It took nearly 6 hours. And it rained.

There was a slope part way up the path and it 'got' me every time I had to step back. My boots were so clagged with mud that I couldn't feel the ground under my feet. I kept sliding down this ridiculously shallow slope. It took me by surprise every time.

I found a covered manhole, bagged up 5 bags of waste including a large amount of broken glass and filled a garden waste bin that won't be emptied until April.

I am in so much pain today that I can't move without difficulty. I can't bend to pick things up, nor can I walk without limping. I tore a nail and had to leave my clagged boots outside the flat on the doormat as they are absolutely filthy.

I have done everything I can to avoid Maths. There are 10 weeks to the first paper. Still. There's a library at work with computer access. I can bring the work to to work and go upstairs to study.

Time to get ready for bed. Talk to you later.

That's an impressive amount of work - no wonder you're sore.

Is anyone else suffering from shrinking weekend syndrome where weekend days are only half the length of week days, so they're over far too quickly?

Gingernutty

Days are shorter now than when I was a child. Weekends dragged and schooldays lasted for aaaaaaaages.

Now, two days is gone in a blink of an eye and all I've done is two loads of laundry, a bit of gardening and ironed patches onto a glue stained pair of clean jeans for the charity shop.

I ironed the patches over the stains because I didn't want to be one of those donors who donate dirty clothes. The jeans were clean enough (disinfectant in the final rinse), but the Gorilla Glue is stuck there permanently.
