    Glad the house is all cleaned up and you're going to put your feet up for a bit.

    No one has any right to shout at you, especially for making a decision that makes life easier, and possibly safer. You have a lot to contend with and you need to focus your energy, so don't feel guilty. :)

    Here's to a peaceful night. :)

    Morning WB - fingers crossed you get the Wilko problem sorted out today and that the hospital appointment goes well.

    Can your hospital team not help you out with the equipment you need?

    I'm looking forward to more leisurely mornings myself next week and I've only got one to get out of bed and get out of the house :o :rotfl: xx

    Morning Tea

    No we are provided much bigger versions. But it just makes everything so difficult when it's needed during the day/out the house etc.

    I'm ready to take W!lko on this morning :o :rotfl:

    I'm glad you like half term too! Most think I'm crazy counting down to the school holidays

  • Morning W

    Lovely day here as well.

    I agree with Tea. You have such a lot on your plate that you shouldn't feel guilty about anything at all that makes life easier for you.

    Hope everything goes well with the appointment and you get the delivery sorted. xxx
    Have adventures. laugh a lot and always be kind.
  • Thank you TF

    The delivery should be here this morning! Fingers crossed. I think once it arrives we are all ready for DD's birthday. I need to do some touching up on the painting and clean the mirrors. It's all ready for her desk and things on Sunday then :D

    Today's mainly going to be feeling like I'm waiting around not achieving much as the appointments at 3.15. I think I will ice the cake board though so it has time to harden before the cake goes on tomorrow.

    Will do my Friday update later, I haven't paid my bills yet :o Slow today!

    :T to the delivery arriving in time. Bet DD will be thrilled with her desk and bits and bobs.

    Blimey, icing a cake board. That sounds a bit professional to me. :D xx

    I could have DS home all day every day with me. He's no trouble and most importantly doesn't create any mess. Now DD is a completely different story. :eek::rotfl:

    Afternoon :)

    Appointment was pointless really. Another referral to another department for more investigations because it could be something else now :cool: Something else to worry about.

    Anyway school's out :J we are all so excited about this :rotfl:

    Got loads done I needed to today - Getting out the house in the sun seems to have made me feel a bit better too. Such a lovely day!

    Been into town and paid all the bills so not a NSD. Will do my proper update later. W!lko delivery came so will be finishing the girls stuff tonight so it's birthday ready :D
