    Bathroom blitzed.
    Mr N defrosted the freezer.
    Finally finished the on-line course which has been the most boring course I've ever done.
    Checked and emailed a report.
    Checked bank accounts and cc deadline.
    Sorted a few holiday photos.
    About to get paperwork organised for tomorrow.

    Morning folks x

    I took dancepops to the doctors yesterday and he was sent to horsepital in an ambulance. He has fluid around his lungs and throughout his body. He was gasping for air. I arranged for my bil to follow the ambulance as I had to collect DS2 and take him to Cam hs.
    The new shoes were still too small so I need to arrange a return.

    Today!!!8217;s plan is to find out ward detail and visit hospital and sort dancegran out. Also ds1 is showing up to collect warm clothes for his new job (he has left his key at uni so I will have to be here for that)

    Washing sorted

    Good morning
    Hugs to all those with challenging DHs.

    I am in danger of using the forbidden F word for the scrimpers challenge..yesterday I paid the bills, settled up for school trips and kit, and then frightened myself with how much it all totalled. :eek: While it wasn't probably all completely necessary, it was all already committed - does that make it a F£&l? So now I am writing a truly scrimping grocery shopping list for later. And then I remembered that I am having my hair cut later...more expense. And I thought February was a tough month.

    So today is my day off and I have a long list of jobs to do. Flying will have to squeeze somewhere between errands and dodging around the builder.

    ETA - Dancemum, I hope Dancepops is ok x

    ohhh that forbidden F word ;), I had another word in mind :D Do your best Fayolle that's all any of us can do.

    Hugs to those with challenging OHs xx (Glad my OH is a budgie!)

    Dancemum - hope all is progressing well for dancepops xx

    Froddington - how's your mum doing?

    Flying: I'm breakfasted and ready for work with pack up done; I've made the bed and done a laundry shuffle; I'll feed the birds and put out the recycling before I leave - still no sign of Mrs B with the dw :(

    Mr T is delivering between 6 and 10 tonight - I do hope it's nearer 6 than 10, but for £1 delivery charge I'm happy whatever time it comes :money:

    Tonight the plan is to spend my 15-minutes-on-list-room: taking all the gibble off the top of the bookcase in my bedroom, dust it (damp dust - or else pigpen will think it's foggy on the South Bank!), and then sort through the gibble: wash, put back and fling accordingly.

    Wishing everyone a peaceful day

    Morning all.

    Dailies are done, dogs are walked, hobby room has been dusted. About to look at the list before starting the daily job search.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Dancemum - please keep us updated on dancepops. Sending love and strength your way xx

    To all of those with ungrateful and challenging DHs - have a huge hug. It's no real help but take comfort from the fact you are most definitely not alone xx

    YL -
    Your boss is behaving like my 5 year old when she's in a mood. Rise above it and enjoy the peace xx

    Feeling more like me today, I've taken control of the situation as best I can and there's not much more I can do.

    Dog has had a walk, washing is on the line, beds are made. Need to do some work to help DH out then assemble lunch. Not had brekkie so tummy is rumbly!

    Sending virtual slaps to inconsiderate DHs - do they not realise that we are all doing our best here?

    Thanks atb - I am his friend again, I have no idea what is going on.

    DS1 has had his first tea (quiche and chips). He will have the same pasta bake, garlic bread and salad that we are all having in an hour. He walked 6 miles today doing his job and this along with the Crohns means that he is eating a ridiculous amount.

    Oooh and on the scrimpy front I left the car at home and cycled to work today. This has the added bonus of stopping me from shopping as I cant carry it home!

    Hope Dancepops is OK. Off to check on tea, might light the fire. Washing is out blowing on the line but its getting chilly here now.
