    I'm tired, I have rage, my back and hips are agony and my mouth is the main culprit of my misery.

    OH is in the dog house again.. he has been yelling which instantly gives me rage anyway.. he then mentioned he had booked the girls into gym class this afternoon (2-2:45) so I cant get DS3 to his diabetes appointment (1:45) which is 4 months late.. and I have been booked into my appointment tomorrow half an hour earlier than usual so the hospital appointment I didnt want to go to anyway is now impossible to get to... actually if I stop being hysterical I could pick DS3 up at 1:15 and get him there early and OH can pick us up when he is done.. I'll just take my knitting as usual.. We can do this I guess.. but I don't have to be happy about it :p

    I rather wish I hadn't woken up this week!

    8:20am... no drs appointments today... or next Thursday (They have 4 pre-bookable appointments) Pee's me right off, they threaten you when you don't jump when they send a letter asking you to make an appointment, if you do try to make an appointment you cant have one.. and yes I have filled out the forms to change surgery.. but really, are the others going to be any better?? What if they are worse??

    Morning!

    My left boot is letting in water - gah! I may have to wear my lovely stripey wellies lol. I wish the rain would stop...

    So my plan today is to pop to @ldi for a few bits then go to kitchen place (finally decided!) then home to tackle the laundry mountain...

    Had a perma-smile last night but this morning I feel a bit "what should I be doing" lol. It won't last, I'm sure ;)

    Morning all

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes to all!

    Working today again but it's preparation for next Mondays delivery. In theory I can have everything sorted today as I have an extra 2 hours minimum with DD being a philosophy after school. I'm just going to get going with it and see how much I can achieve. DD has said she wants to do the ironing tonight, so we'll fly again tonight after we've eaten.

    Its a bit chilly and raining today so the slow cooker out ready for a chicken casserole for tea. I'm just letting the sauce defrost so I can mix it back up. I have a feeling at this rate I'm going to be putting the fire on as I can't get warm :(

    BEHAVE😀

    Pigpen Doesn't sound like new surgery COULD be worse. Why if OH has booked the gym session is HE not responsible for transport? I would think diabetes clinic is more important.

    Bossy I'm having a week like that. Although I'm always at home I have a schedule. Unfortunately DH is at home for two weeks so my schedule has gone out of the window. I.e I set alarm for six when I go to bed at 11, he comes to bed at 2 and complains at alarm so it becomes 8, and I miss my 0915 gym class (bus leaves 0745)

    Still waiting for DVLA. After that I'm not bus reliant, so an 8 am wake up would still give me time to walk Furry and get to class. Grrrrrr.

    I have a lot to be grateful for though. ((((Hugs)))), sticks and spoons as needed.

    Yesterday my gp surgery put up a message on their FB group saying 61 appointments were DNA last week.. so I left my snotty message on there and they said 'call to discuss it' .... what is to discuss? Will them telling me all about their terrible appointments process get me seen? Will discussing it make me hurt less or my mouth feel bettter?? I dont want to discuss anything I want to feel better.. and I just totally did not cry in the chemist lol..

    Stuff posted though which is always a bonus.. and I have some stuff to flick at ebeast..




    best sort my knitting for the hospital wait! .. and cancel tomorrows appointment.. I feel far too unwell to attend a hospital appointment :p:p:p

    Sorry for exceedingly late arrival this week.

    Saw chemo doctor on Monday and talked over stuff. She has reduced the dose by 20% in an attempt to give me more energy. Chemo was Tuesday and all went well, but my magnesium levels are low so I now have a diet sheet. Sister, who has a nursing background, has researched it and added 70% dark chocolate to the list, and I have thrown in a daily supplement too.

    Had a friend to visit yesterday which was great, and DD2 came to visit too.

    I did have a really good night's sleep last night. I was amazed. I haven't slept like that in years.

    Hope everyone is ok. Special hugs to Valli.

    Enjoy your new situation bossy. Glad you are away from the stress now..
    :jFlylady and proud of it:j

    I hope the treatment changes suit you better CY and mmmm to the chocolate;) xx

    Football cancelled again due to weather, but we are having a photoshoot at macdonalds apparently haha. DS is talking to Siri again... DD has just asked if he has a wife - reply: I have you, you're all the family I need :rotfl:

    Laundry done but it's draped around the house. Kitchen s&s too. Few bits of shopping put away and new kitchen finalised, signed for and deposit paid :T they can't do it till the beginning of July but I've waited 3 years, another month won't hurt...

    Kids are bickering. DD is tired - ready for a week off I think!
