Hi all
Fighting a cold and feeling a bit tired and anxious. Have been to hospital with DS for blood tests and a chest XRay. Picked his GF up from the station and both agreed how poorly DS looks. Hopefully they will get the new treatment started soon. He is working stupid hours but wont listen to us.
Paid stuff is bearable, I am glad it's Friday tomorrow. DH has been back to work today, he seems to be slowly getting better.
Sounds like there is good news with some of our poorlies, long may it continue. I am under my heated blanked, going to switch this off and read my book.9 -
Bedroom cleaned, hospital appointment bag half sorted. Emergency case put away, there’s more to go in it. Key given to friend, also for emergencies.

Hospital appointment and accompanying referral cancelled.. it is the 5th one I have been unable to attend and i am fed up of rearranging/cancelling.. this is the one they sent me the same appointment 3 times.. how hard can it possibly be to work around a schedule? we all have stuff to do and other places to be.. the appointment was for the end of November so plenty of time for them to be able to give it to someone who doesn't have children to pick up from school.EHCP review tomorrowI am in so much pain I am a joy to behold..2 emails sent to schoolpack ups sortedDW loaded4x WM (I need to empty airers)Squeak prodded into the shower.Squeak has now been added to the wait list for ASD assessment.. in the meantime she has a million other appointments to go to..I am tired.. it is weird.. I am NEVER tired but I am in so much pain this week and so mentally busy I am exhausted.
Oh... and I am cr@ppy parent of the decade because DS1 hasn't applied for university the last 10 years and somehow all of that is my fault.. I'm not really sure how either, he is 31!! It is also my fault he cannot tile, wallpaper or change a door lock. *sigh*.. sometimes he is so like CF I could poke him in the eye!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)9 -
Morning all, get well soon to all the sickies.
Managed to plant the rest of the pickling onions, having cleared a bed first of the stalks the rabbits left when they ate the broccoli! Thought about listing a mirror on marketplace. But OH would need to photograph it first, can't get the photos on the pc with my phone, and that means I'll have to clean it before that. Maybe today.
"Spoke" to @Deleted_User. She says to let you all know that she's fine, busy with work and farm jobs, and had the first power failure of the season. Winter is on its way!
Today we need to go and collect the pork, will call at Sainsbury's for milk. So far I've eaten breakfast, dressed two grandchildren and loaded the DW.
Now going out to pick raspberries again, hugs to all, mumtoomany.xxxFrugal Living Challenge 2025.

MTM .. I struggle to get stuff off my phone.. so I have a second FB account and messenger it to myself and save it to the laptop from there. A bit faffy but effective. I save copies of the birth/marriage certificates/benefit letters/hospital letters etc this way too.
Hung out the washing, brought the baskets inside, reloaded both WMs and the heavens started leaking.. fabulous!!EHCP review doneSorted Boogs Drs appointment.. they rang me while I was out cue meltdown because ringing back was not possible.. so I dealt with the meltdown and had Boog call back and apologise for missing the call and say a hypo needed treating to they were away from the phone and could the Dr call back..
Slurping me a cuppa then I have a million things to not do. Very low on spoons today.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)8 -
Thanks, @pigpen. But I think you may be mistaking me for somebody who is competent! Haha.
Pigs now back from the abattoir. Around 150kgs of meat now in the freezers. Chops for tea I think.
Picked a tub full of raspberries, although it was so windy, the nettles kept getting blown into me, maybe I should have weeded earlier in the year.
WM finished, but to wet to put it out, will do it tomorrow.

Hi all
It's been a bit of a full on week, but its Saturday and the sun is shining. Really hoping to get out on the bike today but it might depend on what DH feels up to doing. The garden needs weeding and the windows need washing.
Hope everyone is OK this morning and Saturday is kind to you. Pigpen I know you dont like a fuss but I hope the pain and tiredness is a little better today x
