    Evening all.

    Hugs/happy birthdays where applicable.

    Normally I try not to come on here and just moan, but I'm going to I'm afraid.

    DH is ill. He's got a bad infection in his leg (probably from his many ulcers) and has been in bed all day. So, when I got home I had to go up to the hospital (£6 return in a taxi) to pick up some antibiotics coz the doc couldn't come out.

    Then I had to go to the allotment and feed his bl**dy chickens. Now don't get me wrong, I'm glad he has them, and I enjoy the eggs, but I'm scared of the blasted things. So, going in there and getting attacked by one of them was not my idea of fun. I am never going down there again. I shall be telling him this when he's better. In the meantime he'll have to call one of his fellow allotment holders to do them.

    I'm now shattered (early start, draining day at work, then all this) and I can't even go to bed. Because he's ill I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight. Wouldn't mind but its only a 2 seater so too short for me, hard as a rock, and we don't have a spare duvet. The way he's shaking, shivering and sweating though, I can't be in my own bed.

    sorry for putting a downer on it,

    Metherer

  • Awww Metherer ((((((hugs))))) to you, sounds like a horrible day & you can't even have a comfy night :( Have you got any throws/blankets, or even big bath towels you can layer to make yourself a bit more snuggly??

    ((((((smokey))))) (think you're about atm). Hope you and the children are still getting through.

    I've had a busy couple of days so not had chance to read the thread yet although I know its HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Stefejb!!!

    I'm off to my parents tomorrow night, they're away but kindly allow me and my friends to use it as a free hotel for a couple of nights as a girly get-together. On friday we're going to Alton Towers, we only need to buy 1 ticket between 4 of us courtesy of the Sun and Woolworths! Back home on saturday, with the usual unlikelihood of computer access until sunday.

    So, I hope everyone is well, and to anyone who isn't I'm sending virtual (((HUGS))).

    Take care xx
