Gers

Morning all. I'll be back. 

AlwaysAllie

Thanks for the start Gers, Hope you’re feeling better. 

Just a quick one as early start for me.  Another full on day yesterday both at work and trying to get in top of a never ending ding lost of things to do. 

Take care all

Morning GERS and all to follow. I hope you are on the mend after your a/b's. I can sympathise as you might remember.

I was MIA yesterday as I got up with severe vertigo, I was reeling around like a drunkard. I just gave in to it and spent the day on the recliner under a throw. It's not something I usually experience. Anyway whatever caused it (probably a bug) has passed on and I am back to normal this morning. Well as normal as I can be until I get my eyes sorted! Still here on zoom.

I should have been meeting my DF for lunch yesterday (the first time since all the traumas with her DS started) but I had to cancel. We agreed if I felt ok after a good sleep we would meet today instead., so I'll be fit for that. Bus buddy has postponed until next Wednesday but that's another story! Back to DF's DS, he continues to make amazing progress with all drains and feeding tube out and a promise of going home if the progress continues. He's had a small op with stitches to make his tongue a better shape.

So far we have escaped the forecast heavy rain and gales. Just light rain yesterday with a breeze. We have had o/n rain by the look of it but today will be dry - or so the weatherman said! Sadly not very warm. The summer clothes weren't out long were they! 

Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for all in need. Take care xx

Morning all

The sun's shining here and I'm off to help at the Larder in a while.

Had a busy day yesterday; we took DH's car to have the air con checked and had to leave it at the garage all day. We consequently carried on to JL in the City Centre and ordered another couple of curtain samples, which might arrive today. Who knew choosing curtains was such hard work?! Finished all the ironing, so now have an empty airing cupboard and then watched the very first Phil and Kirsty Location show from 25 yrs ago, which I'd saved on the hard drive. The machine at the garage then broke down and we didn't get to collect the car until gone 5pm and it was a bit of a rush for me to get back, eat and get out again to play for the Morris at a pub near Dunstable. Luckily the air con has been re gassed and now seems to be working properly; I was convinced there was a leak and we'd need a replacement unit.

@Gers I do hope you're improving and the UTI clears up soon. 
@TA same to you; I do hope you're recovered today; that came on suddenly. Your DF's DS is making amazing progress by the sound of it.

Have a good day everyone

A bit cloudy out there today but, hopefullyi not as windy and cool as yesterday.  Summer eh?

Hope your feeling better Gers and TA glad your friend's son is making such good progress.

Had to have news glasses yesterday as my prescription has changed, just as I thought.  So a bit poorer today!

Housework on the cards this morning and then dropping off DH to hospital appt this afternoon re his catheter as the car park is awful to park in at that time of the day and it's only a 15 minute drive away. 

Have a good day to you all x

Morning everyone hope you are feeling a bit better today Gers I’m off to a cleaning job in a minute it’s nice and bright but it’s like winter outside. Not a lot happening I will be back to do some housework I’ve got some bits and bobs out of the freezer to make a stir fry type of concoction tonight I will need to get some veg tomorrow and I have a couple of freebies to get at lidl. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing 

Gers

After a day of feeling wretched yesterday,  this morning I've bounced back. It wasn't so much the UTI but the ABs which always floor me. As it's been decades since I've had either I wasn't ready, anyway, I spent almost all the day in bed sleeping, apart from sleep-walking to the loo a few times. I came downstairs for a bowl of soup and a sandwich before going back up to bed. 

If I had to choose a day to be inert it was yesterday - the rain came in torrential bursts all day long. Bright sunshine in-between but mostly rain.  Thanks so much for all the good wishes. And yes, @TA I well remember the torrid time you had a few years ago. 

I'm off out shortly to collect and order from Argos which I was meant to pick up yesterday. Then I have to pack as I'm away for a couple of days from tomorrow. It's the funeral of my closest friends' father, unfortunately it's lining up to be another gathering of toxic relatives. 

I hope that everyone is doing well - hugs to all.

Good morning 

Dry and cloudy outside, yesterday the rain stopped about 10am but it was very breezy.

I also missed posting yesterday. When making my morning cuppa I saw that the fridge was in disarray. Decided to clean and tidy it, then went on to wash all the kitchen cupboard doors. They didn't look grubby, but I'm ashamed to say the water was decidedly dirty. Two hours later a sit down was needed as I was feeling quite cream crackered.

No plans for today other than admiring my clean kitchen. Probably pork chops for tea.

Gers, hope you're feeling better.

TA, good news about your DFs son.

Themsthebreaks, I love getting bargains in Aldi, although I'm never lucky enough to get 75% off.

Have a good day everyone, take care.

Morning all

Its raining here and set in for the day, I had washing on the line overnight so will have to deal with that later.

I heard from the sw finally yesterday, she told me that the mum has locked herself out of her internet banking and could I continue to bankroll Rob until she can sort it out, I quickly relied that no I couldn’t, I paid for him again yesterday as we went out as a group and I didn’t want him to miss out, but I’ve put a stop to it now and told them I simply cannot afford it anymore.

The second part of the email was to tell me that they have made a decision about his future and that they will be sending him home 😡 with visits from carers 4 times daily 7 days a week, the visits will be 2 half hour ones and 2 fifteen minute ones, the rest of the time he will just be with his mum, they have said that this will have an impact on his day care and the placement team will be in touch to discuss it with me, I am almost certain that they will stop all day care as there is just not the money for everything, I am in the process of putting an official complaint together, I am so angry on his behalf as he will have no life at all with his mum and will just sit there in his own filth with nothing to do all day, the whole decision has been made on what his mum wants and not what is in his best interests. The whole thing is making me feel sick to my stomach. I have listed in the complaint about the  many times when I have put incident forms or emails in, such as the time when he has one slice of toast and a glass of water this is all he had one Sunday as she couldn’t get to the shop and none of the family would help. It is only a matter of time before a serious accident happens and he is badly hurt. 😡😡

So I am not taking him to the cafe today I am going to stay here and finish the complaint and send it in,  also I know they will ask me to deliver him home with his belongings which I simply can’t do, I would be leaving him to a life of hell and I would disappear out of his life never to see him again.

Sorry for the long moaning post I am just at a loss of what to do.

Have good days all and take care xx
