*Healing vibes* for your bite, Piggers.  After your horrible experience I dabbed my troublesome one that had ballooned my wrist with TCP and started on the non-drowsy antihistamines.  It's still recovering where I scratched it because it drove me so mad but thanks to your comments it didn't get any worse.  It never occurred to me that bites would be this problematic as I got older because living in Malaysia as a child I was perpetually covered in mosquito bites and just got one with it.  Apparently no more.

Mine seems to be spreading again.. if it is worse tomorrow I will nag drs again for more AB's.. clearly they helped but not fully. I have complained at school today anyway.. Dot and Spam who are in the same class came out covered in bites today.. and Miss Squizz has one on her leg, same place as mine and looks to be having a reaction also similar to mine.. I took her some bite cream tonight and told DD1 to get it checked if it is worse tomorrow. I told Miss Squizz she must tell us if it feels worse or is hurting or wakes her up being itchy so we can get her medicine to make it better. I react badly to mosquito bites, horse fly bites are worse but ticks are determined to kill me.

2xDW done.. we now have plates again!

Not much else done.. new patch day so loads of new content OH and I had to explore.. we could have gone out for lunch... but we stayed home and played nerdy games instead!

Hello,
Sticks to all those pesky BDs, spoons to all those struggling, and hugs to all, just for being wonderful you.
2 long days at work so minimal flying, and it shows. 10 full boxes collected by cs which makes some space in the garage, and some of the medical equipment due to be collected tomorrow. That still leaves - oh at least half a house of carp to go.
1 load of washing done before I left this morning, one pile of ironing to be tackled (not tonight, maybe tomorrow…), and dw now running. 

Wondering whether offering my “help” to Mademoiselle would constitute an essential business trip to France….😉

Pity about the restrictions Mademoiselle or we could have had a Flylady trip to help you sort everything for selling. Party barn sounds fab.

DS2 has moved, the team leader has updated me, he is ok. He replied to my text too. It is early days and he will be checking them out.

I have boxed up a game system that he left here.

I was inspired by HB I have put lots of garden pots on my front path and about half of them have been selected and taken. 

Narc0lepsy

Not a huge amount to report today.
Having been convinced that I wasn't going to advance from 7th on the waiting list for Body Pump, I was just gathering enough energy to get out of bed and go for a run when I had an email offering me a place. 
Of course after that, I had to recline in the conservatory with coffee and kindle.
Got a fair way through a report.
Culled a few more emails.
Went with Mr N to a couple of DIY stores - apparently there is a shortage of cement/concrete stuff!  He has been re-pointing bits of the patio while he is still able to bend over.
Mr N had a frustrating consultant appointment; after ages waiting for referral about a better treatment for his RA (suggested by jojo), he arrived at the hospital (following 2 reminder phone calls and numerous reminder texts) to find the consultant wasn't in work today.  After all those reminders you would think they could manage to notify a patient if the doctor isn't in.......all his referrals for today had been allocated to other members of staff, so after an hour's wait, Mr N was seen. Yes, he satisfies the criteria in theory, but because he was in such pain 2 weeks ago he had a steroid injection , he can't be immediately cleared for the new treatment as the consultant needs to see the RA at its worst. So he has another appt in 2 months time by which time the consultant expects the steroid to have worn off - cheerful thought. 
Any flying was done in the greenhouse.
Still trying to get those Latin rhythm on the drums so how about 'Girl from Ipanema' for an earworm? 
We discussed either going bird watching early tomorrow (and note I'm still typing at 0021) or somewhere on the motorbike as the forecast is good and we'll be heading for isolation soon. No rash promises or alarms set though.......

Morning

Bad nights sleep here, yesterday was a good day, in part until I went to the beach in the afternoon and wandered, get home to OH telling me the hospital rang him, (alarm bells start ringing) it seems they want to see us both, to discuss chemo etc, and will send a letter with day and time, it seems that is all they told him, tears, stress, lack of sleep.

Who knows what today holds.

Ooh moi aussi

Technically it's my day off.  Actually I shall mostly be writing report comments.
got home last night, it was sunny and there was a gentle breeze so I pegged out the washing I was saving to peg out today.  It was brought in dry enough to iron. So in my screen breaks I'll iron.  I have a half load to peg out plus a load of towels, including work tea towels. 

i too have hair envy, by the way.

Kaz...fingers crossed.

Kaz, I’m here if you want to offload, shout about the unfairness, anything at all xx In my thoughts and sending you strength vibes to get through today xx

I have stripped our bed and the wm is running. DW emptied. Ironing pile is next on the list.
DD and I are apparently going out for lunch later.

Love and hugs to all xx

pigpen

Kaz.. that must have been a 'hitting home' moment.. huge hugs.. if there is anything other than the ears and shoulders and healing vibes which we can offer, please shout out.. We are here xxx

The inflammation in the bit seems to be increasing again.. I am hoping school have looked at the possibility of bugs in the classroom rather than just saying it is from the grass/home. I am VERY careful about fleas in our home because I have had 2 cats with flea allergies.

Huge (((hugs))) and coping vibes to kaz and OH xx

One hour's gardening done, which has resulted in a large trug full of weeds and 'unwanteds' being dispatched to the green bin.  I am now covered in forget-me-not seeds.  And I haven't even been offered breakfast yet...

Morning all xx 

Today is my day off- appointment at the Eye Clinic is at 1.30....I do hope I'm not sat there all afternoon again. And I'm going to ask where is my eye now bleeding from? Why is it still bleeding? And can they do anything about it? Because, after two and a half months of eye socket/ head ache I'm weary.

Ooo talking about eye sockets- Barbara fell again yesterday and now has cuts, broken glasses and a black eye. She had decided that Dad was well enough to manage and was going home to live  - she tripped over the straps of her backpack before she got through her door. What a pair!

My lie in was interrupted by scrabbling at the bedroom window just before 8am 😱  Window cleaner!!! So he has been paid, I've made my bed, had a brew, and listened to Girl from Ipaname...which is new to me. 

kaz - big hugs to you both xx
DM  - hope all goes well and DS settles in xx
HB - sorry about Wig Wam Bam ....oooops, I did I do it again. 😘
To you all - much love and best wishes ❤♥💕💖

Now  - toast, second brew, and splash bathroom basin with cleaning stuff to work while I get dressed - it's a plan.
