DH's bloodtests have all come back normal, nothing to worry about, they have ruled out long covid, heart problems, or sudden onset male pregnancy - so that is a good thing, so instead, they have prescribed him some uppers (sorry if that dates me, or offends - it is not meant to) which he seems really pleased about - which in turn makes me wonder.... I mean 'Bizarrely' and 'Secretive' are practically his middle names...
I think this is just one of those things I have to accept is not within my remit.

I'm sure it will be fine - as long he keeps taking the pills - stop/start with anything mental health related is a delay without a journey
we have all had enough of this, and with winter settling in its not going to get better, so just go gently with each other and keep laughing - you'd be mad not too

DS3 is in for an interesting day - he has food tech for the first time (cancelled due to pandemic a couple of terms) and is making fajitas. He made up a spice mix with his dad last night.... He keeps confusing MSG with LSD.
His teacher is going to love him....

DS1 is in the car and heading down to L0nd0n T0wn to begin his new life, where he gets an opinion, and can make his own choices.
Just got off the phone from a solar chappie who is coming to do a site survey on Monday.
Today will be deep cleaning DS1s old room, and boxing his stuff to move to DS3s room, so DS3 can have a bigger room - M-i-L is horrified we are taking away DS1s bigger room from him and not turning it into a shrine, but why keep DS3 in the smallest bedroom if he is here full time and DS1 is an occasional visitor ???
Besides, I have a sneaky plan for the roof space above the bathroom which currently has a top height clearance of 245cm .... sloping ceiling but I am having a love affair with Mr Velux so I do not care, it would take a decent size double bed and would be fine for an occasional visitor who did not mind the sound of running shower water........
Access might prove a little bit of a conundrum though.. I quite like the idea of a slide, or a tunnel, or a Scooby Doo 1/3 size swivel door.
Ok, celebratory coffee, cleaning the top floor, and dh takes his first pills tomorrow morning - did not want to risk it with a long drive ahead of him.
M-i-L told DS1 she is coming the first day of half term (15th) and will be down to see him the weekend after (23rd) so it looks like they are staying here for a week , then train down to London for an undisclosed amount of time, and then returning to us to overnight and pick up their car, and then driving back from whence they came via Holyhead.
Which makes me wonder why on earth they do not just fly into East Mids or Birmingham.
Ten minutes earlier she told DH she did not have any dates yet..... knowledge is power and all that.

Congratulations on raising chick #1 to the stage where has successfully taken first steps to flying the nest.
Totally agree DS3 should get a bigger room now, he'll need it for study etc too. I remember when one of my friends went to uni, her mum had her room rented out to a lodger within a week.
How about giving DS1 a single bed in his new room so there's nowhere for ILs to stay? Or at least photoshop a picture of one onto a picture of his room
Nope, in laws commandeered DS1s (now DS3s) double bed for the half term hols. So I have them here, in house. They can just get on with it. I do not work in a holiday camp for a very good reason. Dh is working 4 out of the 5 work days.
Poor dh left here just after 10, and did not get to uni halls until nearly 3. then they unpacked the car, and went off to hunt lunch, which they finished at 4.30 and dh is due back sometime between 7.30 and 8. Poor love is going to be knackered, but I also suspect he could not bring himself to leave DS1. I see it as A Great Adventure, he sees it more like child abandonment.
He really is a good dad. Might be adding to the reason for the uppers. He is not coping well with ageing I fear.
Spent the entire day de-ds1-ing the bedroom, and cleaning, and bed stripping, and furniture moving, and dusting, and washing, and moving DS3s stuff in there, and it looks like a completely different room already.
Tomorrow I will turn DS3s room into looking like DS1s room.
Plum and apple crumble in the oven, supper was a burger, nothing else, just a burger in a bun. I am knackered, and they gave the bare minimum of help.

Who knew brushing your teeth is enough to reduce a grown man to helpless giggles??? The effects are, erm, interesting.
He is a work in progress. Sadly he is also on night 3 of practically no sleep. Insomnia is a 1:10 side effect. He gets 'rushes' for about the first hour after he takes his tablet. Spends a lot of time saying 'woooooooooooohh!'
I dropped the kids at school, shopped, came home, used up half a mixing bowl of apples into an apple and blueberry pie, an apple, raisin and cranberry strudel- type affair, but with ys shortcrust, and 6 big apple and cinnamon muffins. GBBO tonight. Still have about a million and a half apples hung up in string bags waiting for my attentions.
Yesterday I had a solar panel man in. He is quoting for 8 panels plus a battery. Once I have one quote I can show it to others and get them to quote for similar. So a little bit of progress.
Getting ever closer to having £20k in the bank. I have no excuse not to fix this house.

I'm thinking a firemans pole for room access? 🤔
