Thank you for your kind words and thoughts everyone :A

I don't believe it! I'm in such a state, I have accidentally taken a sleeping pill in with my morning meds
I have to leave for hospital in about 3 hours - thank goodness my wife will be driving

Zippy, I know you asked for no comments - but :A

I have actually got two non-threadbare pairs of jeans, so I can wait, I was just going to get this pair and put them in the wardrobe as a spare, no idea why because if I need jeans it is mostly for crawling around under desks etc, and I have so many pairs of black trousers it is unbelievable :rotfl::rotfl:

Yes, very useful having a spare pair of jeans in readiness. I tend to stockpile them as well - when the price or offer is good. Also I still like bootcut jeans which some years are not fashionable and then I have a new pair in readiness.

I also have about 4 pairs of black formal trousers for when we are away - in theory I never need to buy any again, possibly worn maybe 6 evenings a year. But when you see a £5 pair in the sales then resistance is futile.

OMG :eek: that could be a blessing in disguise

You've reminded me of two stories the first one from a couple of years ago and we were having a bbq with my mum and dad. As a ritual my mother gets her pill box out and starts counting out the tablets on the table......not sure what takes her attention for the crucial moment but she then says to my dad where are the tablets? He replies I've taken them........they weren't just his but he'd taken the lot.

The second story is from last week. Good friends of my parents came to take my mum out for lunch. The lady of the couple has dementia, its so sad she has always been immaculate, well dressed, hair done, nails done etc and her husband is keeping up with it. Anyway they go for lunch and go back to my mum's afterwards and my mum goes in the kitchen to put the kettle on. As she goes into the lounge the lady is holding half a dozen tablets in her hand. She asks my mum if she has skimmed milk. My mum says no only semi but would you not prefer water.....no I'd like a coffee please......oh of course I'm making a coffee would you not like water As well......no just coffee.
My mum said she went back into the kitchen thinking what a shame that she has to take so many tablets and wonders how often a day she has to take them. When she goes into the lounge with the coffee the lady throws the said tablets into her coffee.....they were sweeteners :rotfl::rotfl: it tickled me I like a funny story :rotfl:

I think the theme of this week is

Its just not happening ...

Our builder was supposed to call around yesterday to see what we needed doing but needless to say he didn't. He was actually due in August 2016 but that didn't happen either. He is a workmate of OHs so all I can do is pass complaints along through him. Builder is actually supposed to be starting work next week but I cant see that happening either ....


Also we were supposed to be in York today but that's not happening either. At the end of last week I had an email from Jamies restaurant which looked a bit like a survey but when you opened it up it wasn't. Jamies in York are having a new menu tasting session and it was an email asking if anyone wanted to apply. I applied straight away - Errant son was on standby for cat sitting duties overnight. I afterwards had a quick look at the hotel situation - York has 3 Travelodge's and 2 Premier Inns city center and the room rates were not too bad. Plan B would have been either Hilton or Hampton by Hilton part paying with my HH points. We would have gone up on the train as we have passes.

We were going to be told if we had been selected or not on Monday but inevitably Monday came and went without an email or a phone call.
Eventually an email came yesterday with a "sorry you were not selected but here is a code for a buy one get one free meal

Yes York would have been fabulous today and tomorrow. And yes my itchy feet are on fire, all of 2 week since we got back from hols. And Yes I could have booked an overnight hotel anyway but technically OH is on call so he would have had to call in a favour ...

So we will go out in the garden instead ...

Freewheeling

I wonder what the APG was on this!
