Morning again.
Sundailies are done.  Thanks Piggers for that word.  Just having a cuppa then I'll take the dogs for a walk.

Afternoon xx
Is anyone in touch with Valli in RL? 

I'm up and dressed. I 'attended' an online church service this morning for Pentecost. I've made my bed,  fed the birds and put out the recycling.  WM is swishing the first load which includes two cushion covers. The lumpy cushion pads are in the bin. 

A few more items retrieved from the ottoman. Primary School and Secondary School last day polo shirts put in a bag for DS with another matched up pair of socks. More holey pants put in rag bag. Another pair of socks with individual toes put in my sock drawer. Chewed neck Spiderman pyjama top put in rag bag. I'd forgotten that DS chewed his clothes. Cuffs and neckline mostly.

Unpackaged a Christmas present. Bed socks and eye mask to go upstairs. Candle currently with other candles waiting for a home. Packaging to be recycled. 

Finished reading a book loaned to me by Barbara- so that can be returned.

Every little helps 😉

Dogs walked and I've cut the foot high grass in the back garden with shears, eaten lunch and I'm now going to exercise my brain for a few minutes with some puzzles.

I pm'd Valli early this morning and received a reply from her to say she was going to stay in bed.  I hope she's feeling better now.  Sorry I didn't post that earlier, but I've been out all morning. 

Loved the idea of you opening a Christmas present at Pentecost, round - well, it is a birthday party today!

I have been trying to arrange pick-ups for Freecycled items

I've not read anything.. Valli's post was very unlike her so I have thrown a FB message over.. hopefully she is feeling better and resting. She sure knows how to make us worry!

Eta.. Valli has replied.. she lives!!!! Heading for C19 test.

GI.. what is the topic of their Podcast.. if it's fishing I'm not interested lol... I need something 'New' in my life but thats not it.

DD1 viewing the Lionel cake smash pics this morning so we shall see how those come out.
OH away to work but he did load the DW before he went with lunch boxes and plates so I can refill it wil pans and oven trays later and one of the offspring can refill it after dinner because I dont want to. He also gave the fluffers their breakfast.

Sundailies..

Bath the smells.. Dot can go in first, it calms her massively.

lunches

uniforms and SHOES!!!! Every morning those shoes are hiding! Clarinet tomorrow.. new reed already installed in the box!  Teacher will be happy (Dot ate the last three! We now have to buy our own)
Check homework and reads
Find hairbrushes and spare bobbles.
package 3 ebeast items

Monday we need a tip run or 3, I need to post ebeast parcels, I have a bag full again. CS drop offs I think too... I have 3 binbags and a large box ready to go and a bag I need to sort rags/saleable/ebeast.. and if DS1 wants any of it.. there are some brand new jeans in there but too small for OH but too long for DS1.
I need to kick Dr's derriere and get a referral for Dot to see if a prescription of melatonin would help with the bed times.. I think this can be notched up to 'emergency appointment' status at this point. I could really do with Lil_me around with her experience.

The last few weeks Dot has taken to hitting the other girls. She hit Twinkle last night and caused a massive nose bleed.. my loo looked like someone had been murdered.. Obviously this is something I absolutely will not tolerate and it is a sudden behavioural change.. I am quite concerned. We had an issue a few months ago and I am worried it is related to that, she won't know so pointless asking. I will have it stopped one way or another but she would really benefit from her own room as it is night time she is having the most problems, which would require a loft conversion or moving neither of which I am in a position to do... I can't divide their room into 2 rooms as there is only one window.. but that I could my room if I had a second window installed.. but their rooms would be tiny and have to house 2. 7ft x 14ft and 7ft x 12ft.. We are rather stuck until one of the bigger ones move out.. which none are showing signs of doing any time soon. I am likely to move out before them! We have considered us moving to a 4/5 bed with the girls and leaving the 4 of them here lol. ... I'm thinking on here again aren't I?! lol.

Hello again.  Dogs have been walked again.  Very busy in the village today.
My brain is not working properly today, don't feel I'm fully functioning.  Need sleep.

🤣 I was going to say exactly the same thing! I listen to podcasts whilst driving, but fishing might send me to sleep…
Thank you for passing on that Valli is ok-ish. Fingers crossed that it isn’t the dreaded and that she feels back to her normal self asap.
It’s now completely grim out there. Wm x2 run, HHI, downstairs vacuumed, gave up trying to dodge the showers in the garden, friend came for a walk and tea.  Walk was scrapped. DH is being annoying 😡.
An average Sunday, then.
Hugs to Kaz in the hope she is reading along. Pm me if it helps xx

I've taken Barbara's book back. And had  a long chat with Dad. He's managing on one stick indoors and two sticks outside now. And practised the stairs with physio on Friday. He looks tired though.

I'm a little concerned that I have started wheezing and soon feel breathless. I've never had asthma or any other breathing problems. I've noticed it the last few months but it was very noticeable when I went up Dad's stairs this afternoon.  Could be my weight? Plan is to get rid of some chubbage and if I'm still wheezy I'll phone the Surgery. Any thoughts?

Could be your weight.. but could be dust or an allergen. Maybe an air freshener or perfume or furniture polish or hair spray, it is also a symptom of anaemia or hay fever or heart failure.. it could be literally anything.. It is always best to get these things checked out.. NAG NAG NAG... returning the naggy favour!!! Oh... and NOW.. not when you've lost some chub.. it might be too late to fix then, you go now and say 'I AM going to lose weight but I need to rule out more serious conditions as a matter of urgency because Piggers lives just across the bridge and WILL walk the long way around if she has to!'

Has dad has his bloods checked if he is tired he has had a big surgery and blood loss is inevitable.. maybe have Barbara suggest it or just fling some vitamins at him.
