I have trouble hiding things from Mr LH but I have a new place for his spare cigarettes which i dont think he will look in. Perhaps I should put them in with the cleaning stuff he is not likely to look there. I keep them to help him limit his consumption and he has them 1 pack at a time.

Happy Friday 🥂
I’ve been in the office today but only did a short day. It was the coffee and cookie for £1 deal again today so worth going in for that alone 😆
It was quite busy in the office for a Friday and the bloke sitting next to me was doing nothing but cough. I heard him saying he felt unwell and a colleague told him he shouldn’t come in with his germs especially as we can WFH.Unfortunately DIL is back in hospital, she’s had some bad headaches again and is being sick. She went to the GP this morning and he told her to go straight to A&E. I hope they can get her sorted out quickly.Ended up having to clean the bathroom before I went to bed last night as Mr SA had an accident and made a terrible mess 😞 I’m sure he must have IBS or something this can’t be normal even with a brain injury.Popped into Lidl on my way home from work, still no hula hoop, obviously not getting it in stock now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

Thank you all it’s such a worry, goodness knows how her mum must feel. As far as I know she’s still in hospital, they were talking about draining off the fluid again. She’d be better off with a shunt although she’s reluctant as it’s a major op plus she’d have to have her head shaved on that side. When Mr SA had his fitted he had several metal clips at the side of his head, but once it’s done it’s done and she wouldn’t have to worry about fluid buildup again.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
