Edited to add I googled them and they sound yummy and easy enough for me to have a go at 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8943 -
That walks looks lovely.
I am a fan of ginger biscuits. I also drink a lot of ginger juice. I quite like the spice kick it gives you.
Hopefully your chest stays ok ready for work on Saturday. I bet you are dreading the HR absence thing though. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

It is a lovely walk and the bonus is it's right behind my house so I don't have to go too far to get to it 😊I'm becoming a bit blasé about the work absence protocol at the moment, I can't change being ill and they can't change the policy so I will just have to deal with it. I'm no so worried because I do at least have a doctors certificate this time 😊Nicnak said:That walks looks lovely.

Early start today because I am looking after DGS 2 today, he's had his breakfast and we cuddled up on the settee to watch milkshake which is always interesting 😂 then he promptly fell asleep, he has a cold and is teething so I'm just going to let him sleep as he wants.
I do have to pop into town later so will do that when he wakes up, I need to get a few bits for the animals and I've run out of shampoo which I buy in Surperdrug. I also want to see if they have any bright pink cotton in Wilkos because I found some bright pink material in my craft stash that is perfect for masks so I want to make us some more, I've searched my supplies but don't have pink cotton anywhereOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -
You should find some cotton to match that somewhere!
Have a lovely day with DGS. Shame he is teething but if he is able to fall asleep that is lovely. xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

Phew that was a busy day,I am shattered now. DGS slept on the settee for three hours in the end 🙀 and woke up in a really good mood. I walked down to my local train station to catch the bus into town because it goes along the river and is a nice walk. I managed to get nearly everything on my list but forgot my body lotion that I buy in Superdrug, I like their own brand products because they don't test on animals and this body lotion is the best I have used on my sensitive skin. I will have to wait until next week now but still have a bit left. On my way into town I got a text from Boots to say my prescription was ready so I picked that up too, that was good timing because normally I end up back at home and then get a text 😀
When we got home we played with the toys for bit before it was tea time,DD picked him up at 5.30 and he was falling asleep again, he will have fallen asleep in the car so probably won't sleep tonight now 🙀 My poor son in law is in a bad way at the moment, he has hurt his back and is in agony,he ended up in A&E on Monday night and was given morphine which didn't really do a lot,so he is out of action at the moment and the Dgc don't know what's going on because he can't play with them,he is very hands on with them so they are both a bit upset by it 😟 I hope he gets better soon and they can get his pain under control
B was not happy with me this evening because I only took her on a short walk round the block instead of through the fields. I'm too tired to go too far and tomorrow we have a lot of walking to do to get to the vet and back. We are going to a different branch because they have a better scanner,I can walk to the station and get a bus which drops me off just down the road from the vet and I'm then going to walk back into town and get a bus home so she will get a good walk tomorrow 😊
I phoned work today and left a message to say I will be back on Saturday, no one ever answers the phone in the office and I get fed up with calling them. We can ask the switchboard to bleep our matron but last time I did this they put me through to the on call paediatric reg instead which made now sense at all 😀Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8945 -
Is it the vitamin E cream from Superdrug? I like that one and it suits my sensitive skin, always on offer too. If you have their loyalty card you get free delivery so you could always order some online to save you going back into town.
We were discussing dog food (last week I think) and I just thought I'd let you know I've got a trial box of Fish4Dogs for £2, 6 decent sized packets of dry food in there and a 25% off your next order voucher. It's not a subscription service. The dog has tried some of one packet and has wolfed it down which is a good sign but then she does love fish.
I'm glad you feel well enough to go back to work tomorrow.

Hi everyone
Im just updating to say I took B for her scan and they found a tumour on her Spleen,she had surgery today to remove it and her spleen. They are sending a sample away to be tested, if it's benign the surgery will have solved the problem but if its malignant she will probably have three months tops left with us. To say I'm devastated is a massive understatement, I really didn't think there would be anything serious wrong with her,I'm so shocked I have been crying all day,I'm in bed now because I don't know what to do with myself. It will take a week before we get the results back. The vet phoned to say she came through the operation well and had been out to the loo and eaten some lunch, they are keeping her in overnight and both DDs are picking her up tomorrow,I'm working so can't go and get her back,I'm just so glad she is coming home tomorrow,the vet said he couldn't see anything on her liver and her lungs were clear on chest X-ray so that's two positives
This week is going to be a long week, I tried to get tomorrow off but couldn't which is fine because DD2 will be home all day.i just need to pull myself together so I don't cry at work tomorrow
