Really Piggers ... he is a total *******, Hope the children see him for what he is.

Armed forces day done, not overly impressed, they had run out of food by the time we got there, they had only been going 3 hours....................so we left went and bought sandwiches at a local supermarket and went back! I would have packed food if I had of know.
Bikers night was ok, but OH wanted ot leave after 1/2 hour, it had taken about 2 hours to get there, ................

Off to water my plant pots, and chill out

Himself is back and has a suitably concerned look on his face as it's hurting when I put any weight on that side. The tentative plan for the rest of the weekend is;

Massive Chinese takeaway (which he is currently sourcing), a couple of G&Ts (ditto), a big bag of ice (for the G&Ts and possibly my hip if it gets too bad) - the advantage of the new, posh freezer - and a trashy monster movie.

Assistance up to bed.

Tomorrow morning: he scrubs the shower room floor, as I had been meaning to use the bucket to throw boiling water over that floor immediately after cold water went on the plants (just as well I did my stupid yoga attempt with the cold, really) and then assists me in there, as I'm not risking stepping in and out of the bath. And I've already done the other jobs he would have fannied about with for hours otherwise.

Tomorrow afternoon: I either laze around like a lady of leisure on the settee whilst he does the floors, sorts the washing and makes a proper Sunday Dinner - or we take a slow trip up to A&E if the pain hasn't improved.


He's already a bit sad faced because I said I only told him about it because I knew he didn't make it onto the ferry - as if it would have helped him to know when he couldn't do a thing about it - the only reason I contacted him was because I wanted to make sure he came straight back rather than doing other band type things (or getting waylaid by mates as he walked past the pub :cool:).


Oooh, food is here. And gin.

I like gin.

Valli

So do I.

Advantage of gin is it goes with tonic. Ingredient of tonic is quinine which is good for RA.

Been a longtime fan of gin and finally it's cool (again)

Done kitchen and all the effing ironing, in this heat. * Glow* in more ways than one!

Pigpen I so agree with the last sentence there, I am just glad Moomin is back with you and being loved and cared for properly, the rest of it can be sorted out.

So, awake early. Things going on at work which are complicated and stressful. By the end of this week I should know whether I will be promoted or not following my trial run at being a manager. If not I go back to my lower paid job and no second job which will hit us financially. The waiting is hard.

So, awake early. Pile of paperwork to do for DH so I thought I would get it out of the way first thing. My knee, foot and ankle is sore after wearing some silly shoes for a full day. Been looking for some sensible shoes for work.

One load of washing in, need to dust LR, clean washing to put away.

Right, paperwork.

Morning :wave:

I ran out of steam after fetching petrol yesterday But I did call at Mr C00p and buy bread and bits for tomorrow's pack up after meeting a friend for coffee - only I had a milkshake. Twot for coffee

I was thinking about going to bed by 6.30 :eek: but held out 'til bedtime - and I'd forgotten that I'd stripped the bed! I replaced the pillow case and sheet but left the duvet cover - they always fight back and I [STRIKE]cba[/STRIKE] didn't want to go to bed any hotter than I was

1st July already :eek: slinky challenge- I should be another stone lighter, but I'm not. Sigh. BUT I haven't regained the stone I have lost so that's a positive. What's done is done! Deep breath, regroup and move forward,

H2H hmmm well there is some improvement and I do allow DS's GF to sleep over - which is a BIG step for someone who doesn't even have friends over for coffee (I go to them, it's easier on my nerves ) BUT there is a long way to go.

End of Term report: Could do better. Easily distracted!

Right: up and on: bed is made (although still duvet-cover-less) and WM is swishing. And I've binned a coaster!

Round 1 =
1. Get dressed
2. Feed the birds
3. Recycle cans retrieved from DS's bedroom
4. Hang out washing / set 2nd load swishing
5. Fold & put away clean washing from yesterday
6. Eat breakfast.

Welcome home Moomin xx

How's the hip jojo?

Best wishes to all

Morning all,

Had a fab bbq yesterday, DH brothers came over and we had such a laugh.

I am going out with my best friend for an hour this morning, it's her birthday so we will get coffee and cake somewhere I expect.

I bought some new plants yesterday and potted those up as well as some pretty solar lights - we have a large decking area and need to make more of it.

Closing date for the job applications has passed so if I've got an interview I should hear this week. Please keep everything crossed for me - as soon as I get a job, we can start to wind up DH business. Worked out he could do 3 days a week behind the counter at Screwfix and be better off than he is now!

Have lovely days all xx

Valli

3 loads through WM
DW put through too

Today I want to pop to town, clean bathroom, vacuum stairs, get ready for another week working, deal with stuff generally. Kids working so not under feet. Will strip DS bed too

roundtuit

Everything's crossed atb xx

Round 1 complete + put cans of pop in fridge so that I can recycle the box they were in (Must have my flylady head on ).

Note to self: plan kitchen based tasks for after lunch when it's cooler in there ... I'm par-boiled again Gorgeous outside though with the breeze: perfect drying weather. And none of the neighbourhood are about yet, so just me and the birds were out there

Round 2=
1. Recycle box & plastic bottles
2. Hang out WM x 2nd load
3. Sweetie: seed and water
4. Set up bujo for July.

Well I've had next to no sleep.. Squeak was up crying half the night with an ear hurting.. I had fidgetty legs.. it is my stress thing as well as the not eating.. I am battling to eat enough.. I still have 2 stone to lose and I am not backing down now.. CF will NOT be allowed to spoil this for me.. so I've bought crackers and spready cheese I can nibble on.. loads of fruit and some yoghurts so if I don't want proper food I have acceptable alternatives I can reach for or even nibble on throughout the day.

I've been to shop and filled the fruit bowl and stocked up on milk and ice lollies... and bits to get some nutrients into Moomin.. I'm popping for a multivitamin for her tomorrow.. it can't hurt can it?



Moomin is currently in the front room chatting and laughing with Mimi... she is refusing to ring CF and I said I told SS I would encourage her to ring but she could refuse and I would not be forcing her. CF's baggage has blocked her on FB which these think is hysterically funny.. I, being mature, said nothing... and cackled in my head, like a witch.. the woman is a lunatic! All this upset over a pair of knickers!!

Today We need to empty DD3's room of stuff.. and see what we are left with.
2x WM almost full
DW emptied and I was refilling it until the postie came with a parcel so now I'm playing with my new wireless headphones.. I got childrens ones because I appear to have tiny mouse ears normal ones don't fit in.
I have an ebay parcel to package
I remembered to take my meds..

I need to set reminders to eat, go to bed and take meds.. I will be on this.


Right.. DW to be finished and I need to eat, I've had an apple so far today.

Won't hurt at all - but would a full blood test for deficiencies be worthwhile getting before supplementation? Partly because it would show whether Moomin needs higher doses of particular ones than can be found in OTC the counter meds and partly because a set of results showing malnutrition would be rather useful in respect of evidence?


I have woken up feeling rather sore all round my back and leg, but at present, I think my hip is behaving itself. Getting the quilt bundled up underneath my knee/calf to keep it in one place all night seems to have helped (just as well it was stupid hot overnight again). I'll take it easy today in any case - but it might warrant dragging the stick out of the cupboard for work.


Somebody's promise of getting up and doing the shower room so I can use it has not yet materialised, so I am going to take myself off to the back doorstep (it has a hand rail so I can get back up) and sit down to listen to the rather loud Wren that's out there whilst the felines snore their little furry heads off.


And I'm hungry despite all the Chinesy things I had last night (two helpings - well, I hadn't eaten during the day).

Himself gets until half past and then he is being pestered to get his 'arris up out of bed.
