    Oh no @MrsShazbat you've had a very stressful time. Hospital parking charges are so very unfair! Wishing you and your DH a fee free, relaxing weekend.

    We've had a reasonably quiet week, spot of babysitting but otherwise, all calm. We've managed to do a little bit of work in the garden as it stopped raining. Looking forward to warmer, longer days at the end of the month. Five pounds in the pot again this week. Have a lovely weekend 😘

    • Hi Potters! I hope you've had a good week and will enjoy the weekend.2 or 3 lovely days, superb. 😀
      I hope everyone is healthy and not feeling low in spirits. Meanwhile, get well soon, for now, love from us all at SPC ❤️

    Oh your poor hubby MrsShazbat, and how terribly worrying for you both. I'm so sorry his UTI has gone rogue, not exactly sure what that means. All I do know is that he's clearly in the right place. All the very best to you both, including to you with your eye test.
    I agree with Siju, in that hospital parking charges are so terribly unfair! If folk have loved ones in hospital who desperately need help then they should be given a card and not need to pay: Also, for all those who need appointments then they should be sent cards along with their appointments providing proof so they don't need to pay!!The only people needing to pay are those that treat them as parks when they go shopping! All the very best for a speedy recovery for your hubby. Excellent saving with your Plus potting!I agree with Siju, in that hospital parking charges are so terribly unfair!

    It's good to hear you and hubby are spending peaceful time together Siju, coupled with some babysitting which is never a chore. 🤗Well done with the £5er potted.

    The dear wife of our very dearest friends is terribly ill in hospital, sadly it's not sounding good for her so all T & I can do right now is hope and pray for them both. God bless you M 🙏 They're the very best friends we've ever had. 😍

    Have a Wonderful Weekend folks and thoroughly enjoy yourselves!

    Thanks all. @Sue-UU it just means that the antibiotics he was taking for what we thought was a UTI, weren't working and he developed cellulitis. Unfortunately as he's prone to sepsis, we don't take any chances. Ironically the antibiotics he was on, are supposed to the for skin infections! I'm going back to the office tomorrow for a rest!!

    • Hi Potters! I hope you've had a brilluant weekend.everyone. 😀
      I hope everyone is healthy and not feeling low in spirits. Meanwhile, get well soon, for now, love from us all at SPC ❤️

    Things never seem to go well at times eh MrsShazbat. A real shame the antibiotics he was already on weren't working, even more a shame he developed cellulitis. Certainly the last thing her needs is sepsis! As Suji says, it's all very frustrating. Let's hope he very soon recovers.


    So very many thanks Siju. On Sunday evening she was expected to pass away during the night. However, thankfully she didn't, so T and I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon to see if it was possible to see her. Certainly we were told. She was very tired, but given the time they wake folk in hospitals we weren't too surprised, but she soon responded to our quiet chat and became quite perky. We stayed 45 mins and when a Dr came to take her bloods, we said our goodbyes and she responded in exactly the same way she always has done which was a real joy! We're still praying for her, but remain quietly hopeful. 😊🤞
    Good for you with your potting. 😀

    So very many thanks LMD and brilliant potting!! 😀

    Hi Potters, have a great week ahead!
