Morning Nanto,ladies.

Nanto
What a lovely fresh bright graphic, I could just eat those strawberries 😁

Popping to Aldi then to MILs

She had. A right strop when B phoned last night and said to make a list as we can't take her shopping ,
Apparently she. Is being neglected and put on the side line what's the use of living etc , the whole woe is me,
No one visits no one cares,
His sister is there every day and was there with shopping yesterday for her.
Only days she isn't there is when one of us are there that day.

B wasn't having it and put her in her place,
He said I'm sick of it Mam we have problems too and have to take care of ourselves,
But apparently that doesn't matter she should be priority 🙄

Lord knows what's waiting for his today.

[Nanto2girls]

Good luck with MIL.

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone

Oma, your MIL tries everyone's patience in every possible way.

Nan2, have a nice visit to GD1.


Lovely sunny morning here.

GS2 is on his way, we will collect little E from nursery just after midday. We will probably go to the park. Little E overnight, which he is always excited about
OH is really struggling with her pain, golf was hard on Tuesday and she won't play today.
I am hardly sleeping with worrying about everyone

[Daisy]

Good Thursday morning, ev eryone.

I'm so sorry I haven't been posting - nothing wrong (at least nothing newly wrong) just pressure of time. Everything takes me ages and I spent yesterday looking after OH after his eye scan. He couldn't even open his eyes for most of the day, but is ok this morning. We're off to Eva's hydro session soon, but will try and catch up with everybody later. xxx

[Gemini]

Good to hear all OK Daisy, some times are like that. Just catch up when you can xx

[Plantaholic]

Oma, if your Mil is so selfish, how did she manage to bring up a family? I am pleased B put her right.

Daisy, Lots of demands on your time for your and your OH’s medical appointments.

[Plantaholic]

Pressed the wrong button…… H has been away with her daddy and they are due back today. Looking forward to hearing all about her holiday.

Gemini, I am not surprised you are finding you are not sleeping well. I find a couple of Asprins help.

[Oma]

Gem
You have so much worry about everyone and so much to do , I'm not surprised your not sleeping.
Poor S has she seen the Dr yet?

Little E will cheer her up won't he .

Daisy
Days are like that , you just don't have time to think let alone do things for yourself.
Poor J I hope as the day goes on his eyes settle down.

Plant
I bet little H has lots to tell you ,
You will have missed her.
Plant MIL never wanted any of the children , she told them that all the time ,
Yet they all still go and look after her.

MIL was sulking when we went in ,
She didn't greet us just sat looking out of the window with her back to us.
We put her stuff in the freezer , the meals B made in the fridge and he had made soup and dumplings so he put that in a pan ready for her to heat up,
I came into the sitting room and she still didn't speak ,
B said do you want a cup of tea she ignored him,
So he said right put your coat back on we are leaving,

MIL swung round then and said why?
B said we not sitting here taking your crap we going home,
Then it was all I didn't hear you come in,
She watched us walk up the steps glaring at us , so that was no excuse.

Then it was well no one has been I can't get any shopping,
I said what about all the shopping SIL had taken yesterday and your fridge is full,
She didn't answer that she didn't realise I knew SIL had been.

Plus other SIL had been on Saturday & Monday, she had taken meals and shopping.

B said Mam Jean is our priority at the minute till she gets sorted so you just have to put up with it.

She huffed and puffed but then started talking like nothing had happened 🙄

We didn't stay long B wasn't happy with her and he was fed up with her attitude ,
When we left he said it took all his strength not to blow up at her.

Never mind it's over with till next time😁

[Gemini]

Oma, S has seen the Dr several times! They keep increasing the pain patch dose and have now added oramorph liquid. The worst pain is sort 0f in her groin. I think she needs some physio also but she doesn't think she does!
You have my every sympathy with your MIL. You both do amazingly with her.

Plant, I'm sure you will be happy to see little H again after her holiday.

OH did go to the golf course but not play she did see some of her friends and have chat and cuppa
GS2 and I collected little E from nursery and we all went to the farm shop cafe. The boys played in the play area there, then we went onto the playpark closer to us. We all had a lot of fresh air!
DD2, GD, DD and SIL3 went to Dalby Forest today and had a nice time too.

[Daisy]

I've finally caught up on reading posts, but too many for me to comment on this late. Hopefully the week-end will be a bit quieter.

Eva worked hard at her hydro session. There was a new young lady there and she was very good with Eva and very thorough. We got back in time to put a big load of washing out and get a late lunch. I did a bit of gardening this afternoon, trimmed the edges of the lawn, did some deadheading and a bit of weeding. The sun came out and it was quite warm. Then the chap arrived to finish servicing the caravan. It turns out his dog had had 4 cruciate ligament operations, none of which have been successful, so we gave him the details of the orthopaedic vet we're taking Eva to.

I took Eva for a short walk and did pizza and salad for dinner - nice and easy.

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning.
I don't know where yesterday went, but it certainly came and went.

I have read all the posts from yesterday, but like Daisy, there are too many to reply to.

Note to self I must do better, but the day just flew by.

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies.

Nan2 and Daisy,sometimes life is busy we just can't go back and respond!
To be honest this thread is really just for quick hellos and chit chat. A lot of the longer posts we reply to here could go on separate threads - easier for us to get back to!

I don't think we have any plans today. SIL will collect little E at some point. E still has his cold though he doesn't feel poorly .I can understand why DD3 is cautious, but living with a 3:year old who goes to nursery it's very difficult to try to live a more or less normal life and avoid germs. I hope we don't catch it!

[Oma]

Morning ladies

Gem
It's virtually impossible to avoid germ with little ones ,
DD has done well to not get it so far , hopefully the worst of his cold is over .

Daisy and Nanto,
Days sometimes just slip away before you know it it's evening and you think my goodness where has the time gone.

I didn't get up till 7 this morning I was so tired,
By the time I got up B had done two loads of washing and most were either dry or drying in the tumble dryer.

I have done what housework that needed doing , I'm having 5 minutes on here then we are going to the farm shop.

[Gemini]

You must have needed that rest Oma. Good for B getting the washing on

We are watching a Thomas DVD!

[Daisy]

Good Good Friday morning, everyone.

I came on here before 9.30 (quite early for me) and just as I opened Gran Chat Sainsburys turned up. A bit early but one of the regular drivers - a youngster who hardly looks old enough to drive - was on, and we always have a chat and a laugh with her. So I sorted out the fridge, put everything away and tidied the kitchen. Stopped for a cuppa and a chat with OH, and here we are, the morning is nearly over.

Gem, I agree, it makes Chat more manageable if we start different threads for topics that aren't just the run of the mill day-to-day subjects. I'm as guilty as anybody!


Nanto, I often get that feeling of "the day just came and went". Sometimes it's hard to remember what I did actually do!

Gem, hopefully little E is less infectious now, even though his cold hasn't totally cleared up. I can understand how it worries DD3 though. I hope you enjoyed the Thomas DVD.

Oma, you must have been very tired to sleep so late compared with your normal getting up. Did you get some tasty goodies at the Farm shop? B is very good getting washing on while you were still asleep. J will put washing in the machine provided it's all sorted and I tell him which programme to use.

It's just stopped raining, but dull and a bit chilly, so a day for housework not gardening. I know which I'd prefer.
