I haven't done any housework either. As soon as I hoover/tidy up all my House Troll's friends come round and I may as well not have bothered. I have trained them to put their cups in the dishwasher and sometimes they put the cushions and blankets in the right places but I've decided that I'm having Christmas holidays too. I'll sort it out when they're back in college.

I hope you had a quiet but good birthday.I think you are right to do what you can around the house and not fret if things don't get done. I was reminded of Days Like This by Van Morrison as an antidote to bleurgh days.I've seen you on the grocery challenge thread - I love it over there - it's transformed my food spending.1

Thank you everyone for your support - d-day of Tuesday is looming closer - DH is having some pain which of course is filling us both with fear.
your mind immediately goes to worst case that the cancer is spreading rapidly.
we went for a lovely walk by the coast today to take our minds of it. His strength is impressive. I would want to curl up in a ball and he is determined to get out and enjoy life.
thank goodness for him ❤️Widowed November 2024
