    Evening all
    I've bumbled through this week, dog sitting was good, we enjoyed each other's company and he was as good as gold. Sadly he was collected Friday evening so house back to being quiet.
    Have flitted with cleaning and done just enough to get by but I've been cooking and cleaning every day for mil. Had a proper melt down yesterday while being served in local shop the check out guy commented he hadn't seen my DH for a while and he hoped he was ok. I tried to explain but he was so shocked and got upset himself for asking I ended up paying and rushing out in tears which lasted the rest of the day. I took a walk up to the cemetery to 'talk' to fil, today after doing mils meals and tidying. I'd repainted his memory rock so neeed to take that back up to him. It was a peaceful couple of hours. I've done all the ironing and tomorrow's pack ups as well as sorting my knitting needles out- spares in the CS bag, then I tidied my sewing machine stuff up and threw the broken needles away I'd been hoarding in the drawer. A little bit of family history done, I'm doing my dads side which I've never done before, already found a knit that needs untangling and a little mystery.
    Anyway going to have a lazy soak in the bath and wash my hair, as work starts again tomorrow.

    Wow round, well done to the teenagers, your drs and his gf for getting help for the young lady that meant she was talked down I hope she gets help with what's troubling her.

    Hugs to all who need them. X

    Welcome back to returners.
    Busy week, MIL back to care home from hospital for 3rd time in 4 weeks, Mr N and I are getting good at packing and unpacking the inflatable mattress and its pump, wheelchair, clothes and toiletries and any flowers/ornaments etc as the care home can't hold her room while she's in hospital.

    Today:
    Went to church
    Went to a flower festival locally
    Did a load of gardening
    Vacuumed all house
    Shook big bedroom rug out of the window
    Freshened up a flower arrangement in the lounge and spare room as BIL arriving soon
    Polished a few things in the lounge
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    ah Mrs MP that's so hard...I can remember asking a lady at bingo (when I worked there) - how her mum was doing and her mum had died. You feel so awful when you've 'put your foot' in it.

    Thinking of you (((hugs)))
