Hiya, haven't done much. Yesterday I had my Grandson who was extra hyper, partly due to showing me a picture of his baby sister in mummy's tummy! And her heart beat inside his new fluffy bunny toy.
I had to go back down to the doctors to chase up my prescription again! So DD2 had him and took him to my parents.
It seems I put the request in to early (last Thursday) so I have to put it in again this ThursdayHopefully they sort it out this time as I only have a weeks worth of tablets left.
I then had a health assessment via phone done in the afternoon, so all I got done was the dishwasher, wipe round the kitchen, played cars, trains and dinosaurs and make dinner.
Today so far I've unloaded the DW, done my online bits, stripped my bed, turned my mattress which nearly killed me lol. DD2 was going to help me with it yesterday but I forgot. Bedding in now in the WM. I've also hemmed up my 2nd living room curtain and rehung it. I washed them over the weekend (couldn't afford the dry cleaners) and shortened them.
I'm now having a coffee and waiting for the repairman to come back to finally fix this dripping pipe thing. This will be the 3rd time they've come out for the same job!

List is now up for today.
Apologies for the lateness of this; felt really uncomfortable last night so went to be early but sleep was sporadic. Bit of tummy trouble.
Decorator has papered in the DR though not completed yet and it looks so much better. I just need someone to cancel their fitting so my flooring can go down earlier.
Old car picked up from garage. Water pump replacement has solved that problem; now to get it on the market!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

All the bags of leaf mold have been emptied into pots and buckets so they're off the base of the yard at last. Now to decide what to plant in them. I'm thinking garlic, the broadbeans and spinach. Maybe more chives but I think I'll grow them in smaller pots in the greenhouse. Leaves in the top half of the communal garden raked up, and the last of the apples picked up and binned. The apple tree has now had a huge branch chopped off. It's the wrong time of year but a gale would have pushed the tree over so we'd have lost it anyway. This is the last ditch attempt to save it. I don't hold out much hop.Loo scrubbed.Some paperwork dealt with.Better is good enough.1
