    I've just remembered I've not yet made a plan for the week:

    Monday - work in the evening

    Tuesday - childcare, then work int he evening (probably just two bours)

    Wednesday - church meeting in the evening

    Thursday - work from 1pm

    Friday - work in the evening and will probably fit in church cleaning beforehand.

    Saturday - nothing planned so far as I can remember

    Sunday - Helping with children's activity, am. Invited to J and L's for lunch.

    Thanks ladybird. He feels he's improving and the doctors have given him another course of medication. It has side effects and isn't for long-term use but it stops the boat from rocking, as it were. He has managed six months between courses recently, so we are hopeful for this again.

    Oddly, I've been under the weather today with what feels like a kidney infection. Spent most of the day with a hot water bottle and went back to bed for the afternoon, but I've got the bedding washed and the ironing completed, and after resting, got myself to work and after about an hour, suddenly started to feel better.

    Called into L1dl on the way home as I had a free pastry to claim, and ended up spending £12.32. Some of this was to make use of 15% off various things and some was to keep the cupboards stocked.

    We have the grandchildren to look after tomorrow so I'll be off to bed soon.
