Luckily he has you in his corner. Men are notoriously bad at dealing with health issues. But you will be all over this

All caught up.
You've done a lot at home this year! There are gorgeous wooden patio furniture, but may cost a bit more than you want to pay.
Car insurance has gone down this year, fingers crossed your renewal comes in at under £200 later this year.
Sorry to hear DF is in pain, hopefully the new meds help and his appointment comes through quickly.
As always, the meals got my belly rumbling and I'm craving lamb after reading about your Moroccan dish.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Thank you all for your good wishes for DF ❤️
It was good to go to aquafit yesterday and take my mind off things for a while. As much as I try it’s hard not to worry about him. The little asd@ near the pool was closed with the shutters down but no notices up to say why & a few people milling around outside didn’t seem to know why. I’m just waiting for the washing machine to finish and then I will go to aldee for some shopping. DF has asked me to get him a few things so I will pop to see him when I get back.0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Washing hung out this morning then did a shop in aldee £17.42. Chicken & butternut squash stew in the slow cooker then took DF to dr just for annual medication review. He has a CT scan tomorrow afternoon & another blood test, I will drive and hopefully will know more early next week. Offered to take him some chicken stew round later. Off to my friends for a cuppa this afternoon.Fence arriving Friday afternoon.

Sending positive thoughts for your DF.
A chicken stew will be welcome nourishment and much appreciated.
Hope time with a cuppa and a friend takes your mind off the worry for a while
