    Ended up staying home today as just as I was leaving to pick up DSis I heard DH screaming blue murder. He had got out of bed and collapsed onto his knees and couldn't get up as he has a bulging disc. Took me and DS2 15 minutes to get him to a seated position and then help him downstairs (he is 6ft 2" and nearly 15st). We have a 20ft tall window on our landing so I couldn't risk him falling through it so I stupidly went first! He is feeling very sorry for himself. The meds are slowly kicking in - has pain relief and anti-inflammatories. Can't believe yesterday we went for a walk around a local priory after the A&E visit!

    ILs came over as planned and bought a support brace/belt thing which he is wearing. I went to Aldi and food shopped without a list so there will be a few cobbled together meals this week including some READY MADE things, but tbh I just wanted to get back home.

    Have spent some time in the garden late this afternoon as we bought some plants and bulbs on Thursday and I wanted to get them in as we are due wet weather over the next day or so. 

    Annoying about the phone @joedenise hope you got it sorted.

    Won't know if I can get into my phone account until at least tomorrow as apparently it can take anything from 24 - 72 hours to update!  Can't even check how much the bill is without access!  I'll know tomorrow (I think) as it was due yesterday but DD probably won't come out until tomorrow.

    Sorry to hear about the medical emergency @Coxy11. I have a recurring disc problem myself so can empathise. I was really pleased it didn't play up last week as sleeping on a hotel mattress often sets it off. Hope your DH feels better soon. I usually take muscle relaxants for nerve pain. They're effective but knock me out.

    Yes @beanielou, we thoroughly enjoyed Glasgow. There was so much to see and do and we managed a trip out to Glencoe. 

    I meant to say @bubbs that I've never known you have such a large gain. ☹️ Fortunately, you've got plenty of leeway but we'd all prefer to be as close to the bottom of range as possible. 🤞you see off a pound or more this week.

    It's stayed dry here until now @joedenise although rain was forecast. I put the washing in the tumble dryer 😲 but fortunately on half price electric.

    Today's plan-
    B fry up (HEB, P, S) 
    L- JP with prawns and salad (P, F, S) 
    D- beef casserole with new potatoes, parsnips and lots of Speed veg (P, F, S) 
    Syns - LTL mayo 1, cornflour 1, weekend wine 😁
