Milann’s mutterings through retirement

My friend recently had a mastectomy and was a day case as well. Home by 7.30. She said she preferred it as she could rest better. If there had been any concerns by the hospital, she would have had to remain in there.

amber03 it’s incredible….itd have been about 10 days in hospital at one time, but I suppose with surgical advances and risk of infections in hospital it is better to be back home where it’s easier to rest. Hope your friend is doing ok….im going to see my friend tomorrow….thought I’d give her a few days r&r before I go round.
i don’t know where time has gone again. I’ve been on a couple of singing dos, I went to watch Dh and his ukulele bang play in the Cafhedral of the big city nearby yesterday. It was a charity performance for a local charity that supports visually impaired people I went with a friend and we headed into town earlier for food and a little festive tipple 😜beforehand. It’s a pity it rained so much as we were going to have a mooch around town. This morning my singing group performed at an old people’s home. The majority of them enjoyed and sang along to the Christmas songs….although one gentleman shouted ‘I thought I was having my hair cut’ We chatted to some of the audience on our way out. Somebody asked one lady if she enjoyed it…..she thought for a while and said ‘no…..not really’ nothing like being honest 😂😂😂😂
I went to see my brother who was a lot better than last time I saw him. On our way home we pass Costco, so we popped in for a few bits. £112 later 😯 We’d parked in the underground carpark. It’s a busy junction right near a motorway. It took 1 hour 15 minutes to get out of the car park….we weren’t impressed and I’ve tried to get hold of the company via email but apparently they don’t have an email service. I will phone head office tomorrow. I know they can’t do much about the junction outside but they could make the actual carpark better….it was a total free for all. Crazy thing is - the shop wasn’t half as busy as usual 🤷🏻‍♀️

1 1/4 hours to get out of the car park is dire.

Maybe get in touch with Costco and ask them to complain, which may carry more weight than an individual could?

Satchmo it was Costcos own carpark. I have complained to the store via a telephone call……it didn’t seem to get me anywhere.
Well that’s it….Im virtually ready, everything is bought wrapped and loaded in ds car ready for a 6am start in the morning for our trip to see Dd and her family. I’m hoping the traffic gods are kind to us as ds has a house viewing down there at 1.30. It takes us 6 hours on a good run. 

I’ve stocked up on some cheap veg and meat but I didn’t have much room in my freezer so was gutted I couldn’t get more.
im afraid I’ve been a Scrooge this year and only posted a couple of cards. The price of postage has become ridiculous. 

Have a lovely Christmas everyone and I’ll catch up on diaries when I get chance 🎅🏼🎄👍

Enjoy your Christmas. 🎄
