Fayolle said:

I have to say that I’m surprised that there was any shortbread left for anyone else in the WAC…

It's OK Fayolle, I went back to bed, fell asleep immediately and slept until DH woke me at 9.00.  There was still plenty of shortbread in the tin for Valli and anyone else who needed it
Enjoy your books.  We've had more rain

Texts sent and phone conversation had.
Breakfast eaten.
DW loaded, kitchen S&S'd.

I must go to the PO when I take DH to SW.

3 binned at school.. over the summer one of the girls in Dots class has been diagnosed with epilepsy.. that was a bit of a shock.. and a huge worry for her them all going back to school. I have invited her to the local group for parents with children with additional needs so hopefully she can find some suupport there. I remember when Boog went back to school after the diabetes diagnosis and it was a massive worry, I imagine she feels similar.

Squeak school stuff sorted.. she just tried her shoes and they appear to be outgrown.. she wore them for 5 ... blooming... weeks... 24 days in total!!! I am NOT impressed!! So she is having lunch and we are traipsing to shoe shop.. she is just getting her bag ready while I have a cuppa.

1 wheelie bin filled with recycling and the black wheelies are being emptied as I type..

Glad the shortbread was appreciated.. it is one of my favourites too.  I took forever to go to sleep but utterly crashed when I did.. then Moomin and Cora woke be up howling in the rain at 3am.. then I just dozed for the rest of the night.. and woke up with  Treacle on my pillow with her feet on my forehead!

for the first time in 7 weeks the girls had to be woken up.. they have been getting up between 4-5am every day but today they have to be dragged out of bed at 8..

Grandbeasties all shiny and ready to learn. Jazzles has his first day today!!

The relaxed photos are always the best, pigpen - lovely pics of happy children! xx

DH dropped off at SW
Church money paid into bank at PO
Demi-baguette bought for BLT sandwiches for our lunch, and a pain au raisin also somehow found its way into my bag - Fayolle, I do believe you are exerting some sort of influence over me from beyond La Manche

Onwards and upwards...

Lovely photos Piggers.
Everything I planned to do is done except one final wash load to put in.  The pie looks lovely but I'll not touch it until after dinner tonight.
Poppet has a sore paw so I'm taking her on a not planned today trip to the vet.
Going to wash up my lunch things then do some reading/puzzling.

Honey bEar, it is to be cleared one piece at a time lol, only trouble is I start then something else comes in and gets put down so I am back to square one lol today is new meds, I have bought a basket though so at least they can all go together lolIt started with the two boxes in a prescription bag and has now grown to ten boxes, so I reckoned the basket was needed just to corale them together lol and make sure I don't forget one lol

I've nicked a mantra from Dana K White about mountains of gibble that need to be dealt with Buggalugs - do the easy stuff first.  In my case that means just pick the rubbish out, and then it all looks a lot better instantly.  I work best when I get quick results and don't mind carrying on with, say, just pens.  I don't like to overdo it any more, by assuming that a mountain that took years to build is going to be resolved in one session. 

Gorgeous kiddiwinks Piggers.

I've had breakthrough pain on and off for 24 hours and it's seriously cramping my positivity.  Talking books are a gosend.

Valli

horse piddle did not go as planned.  Upshot is, pending further tests, chemo will be 23rd.

Bonus is I can now go on the girly weekend away just outside York without my PICC line, not having had chemo so I am v. pleased.

Valli hugs, here for you xx

Went to the stupid waste of time appointment.. it was stupid and a waste of time.. 3 more hospital referrals for me to not have time for and haven't done the 3 I need doing.. I was told not to bother taking the medication I was given last Friday and to just shut up and put up... NOT happy..

pasta meatballs/dippers for dinner and then taking the gremlins for a mcFlurry.. they don't eat the garbage which they try to pass off as food but ice cream in any format is good!

Uniforms and packs up and showers to sort..

I might need to go to bed earlier than 2am..
