Oh FF that just sounds awful
! Excellent that your washing machine is fixed though, my daughter spilt milk on the floor just behind the driver's seat, we tried everything to erase the smell cause it also had gone right through, nothing worked. This happened one summer fortunately she could open her windows, she didn't want to claim on her insurance, waited around 6 months and bought a new car. She was also told the only way to get rid of the smell was to clean flooring underneath and replace the carpet. Such a bother and oh so smelly so there's not much choice
! About the spinning if it's not an ear problem, it maybe an arthritic problem (neck), my MIL had that, every so often she would feel as though the room was spinning, very, very dizzy. Perhaps there is a bug going around? Both daughters had labrinthytis at different times but that causes terrible dizziness and they were very unstable on their feet. Fingers crossed that it's just one of those things and clears up quickly, what a ghastly week for you, big hugs.
Ouchy, ouchy grumpy, have seen lots of doggie coats in the shops recently and always think of Millie, has she any new ones this year??
JCJ, good that OH is feeling fine, it's a lot to take on board, just take each day as it comes and try not to think about things too hard, know much easier said than done........but you know what I mean.
Had my fasting blood tests and my flu jab this morning, will get my results late next week, have been feeling so awful recently, crazy to say but I hope it is that and things get sorted cause there is def something not right! Feeling very apprehensive cause what does happen if it's not??? at the moment I literally cannot face anymore investigations!
As the say tomorrow is another day
!
ED and GD just popped in, coming back later, I'd cooked some sausages and asked GD if she wanted one, she said "yes please Nanny" gave her the sausage massive thank you, hug and the biggest smile ever, aaaaaaah the smallest things, she's made my day xx
Think Mike Tyson is oh so heavy but Henry Cooper is fab, you would need to check though that it specifically picks up dog hairs, just have a small hoover now as all floors are wooden!
Had a chicken stir fry for tea, it was ok, yours sounds nicer grumpy! Tonight it's mac and cheese, easy and tasty!
YD's freeview box has not been working for around 6 months so she just watches programmes on the laptop, went into a charity shop yesterday and spotted a very fancy one, cost £5, woo hoo brought it home plugged it in and it works brilliantly soooooooooooo pleased
! What a bargain!
Tidying all done, ironing not done (also stays in the dark, dark cupboard).
Going to plonk myself down on the "tired" bench near the "not doing anything else today" bench.
Have reserved lots of new books from library, will keep me going for months!
How is your OH now JCJ? Is he taking the tablets? xx
Going to join you grumpy hoover has been dragged from the dark, dark cupboard, woo hoo job done!
Still all frozen outside even though it's sunny, even the waterway has frozen bits, brrrrrrrrrr!
Went to chippie last night so have done NO cooking over the weekend, everything seems such an effort
! Spent most of the time sleeping so am now obviously trying to break the sleeping record! Have had a couple of super, duper hot flushes recently why do you never get them when you are freezing cold???
Collarbone is def much better whew! Not nearly as painful and I can wear jumpers etc cause I can pull over my head now. My big winter coat has been great cause I can shut it and wear sling over the top so can keep cosy!
ED did her X shopping on Sat and said she saw something and thought immediately of me........mmmmmmmmm what is it??? Should I quiz GD??? Better go and sit on the "bad nanny" bench xx
That's 2 and 1/2 years taking ta"poxyen" only another 2 and 1/2 to go!
PS Can't face ironing yet?? Tomorrow is another day!
Happy Anniversary Ali your family will look so cute with your pixie slippers and bells, add the camels and that is a WOWEE surpassing all!!
Oh JCJ letters are horrid, your stomach always flips, you will need to give BCN a phone so you know what's happening, set your mind at rest. I am showing off hee hee but I don't DO cake making so I'm not that smart!! I don't know anyone who has deficiency so thank you for your info, if it's not that and blood tests were a fluke I will assume it's all the meds.
Now my turn to be green, feel quite envious of your walk grumpy, breakfast at Rita's was lovely, hope you are ok, has all your snottiness now gone??
Oh no ch, that's not good, hopefully you are not in pain.
Well another sunny day here, really beautiful but extremely cold, am on the "good girl" bench, house half tidied and bedding washed already, buzzing around now so I can have a nap later, so there is method in my madness!! That hoover is still trapped in the dark, dark cupboard, it's not getting out................simply not happening xx
I hope you remembered to get some of those pixie slippers for the camels, Ali? Dink'll love them. 
Now you are showing off, Katy!
Enjoyed waking up naturally this morning BEFORE my alarm (set 1 and 1/2hrs later than normal! :)) Felt really guilty sitting about drinking tea when I should have been teaching Y5/6! Penultimate jabbing done - but is it?? Just realised that my onc appointment is in June; expecting to end Zoladex in May - ie last implant in February, but won't have seen onc to find out whether to stop!! Bit unsure how to proceed there!
Had the **** scared out of me this morning! 
Letter from NHS. These ALWAYS put me in a tizz. This one started "unfortunately..." What? WHAT??? "we have to alter the time of your appointment with Dr .... to 3.30pm on June 16th 1014". IS THAT ALL? WAS THAT NECESSARY? Appointment was at 3.20pm, 16th June anyway! They have already sent me a letter to change the doctor. It's SEVEN MONTHS away. It could change again by then! Have they any idea at all what goes on in our heads after a BC dx?? Grrrr
Katy, talking to my (new, temporary) HT this morning (felt I had to explain why I was late) and he says he has 3-monthly injections that 'keep him alive' too! Vitamin B12 injections!! I immediately thought of you. What a co-incidence?! He said he was soooooo ill: couldn't even get upstairs, barely knew his own name, and they thought he was a goner. This was 12 years ago and, honestly, he looks the picture of health now. Plays golf regularly and seems to manage to trot around school OK, and bob off on holidays! He retired from another HT post and is helping us out short-term, so I guess he must be at least in his late 60s if not older. Just thought you might like to know that! 🙂
Have a good weekend everyone. I'm going to make my Christmas cake tomorrow! 🙂
JCJ all cards also have stamps on them so just have to pop them in the box, "organised Annie" that's me! Hope you enjoyed your long lie!
ST lovely to hear from you and even better that you are having fun! Jan not too far away but far enough nothing much you can do with PS having a broken leg!
Well, had assistance on the trains which was excellent but why o why do passengers cram and push to get on the train??? It really bugs me that they cannot wait until people get off the train, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I was standing with my chariot waiting to get off and the guy that was helping couldn't get the ramp down cause the twits were all pushing and shoving, so so ignorant! It's one of my pet hates..............
So def have Burning Mouth Syndrome and oral thrush, mmmmmmmmm, been so lucky this year, haha! Still have to wait about the B12 so it maybe that or peripheral neuropathy (spine issues and brain signals) already have pn elsewhere. New drug may help.
Away to try and find the "lucky" bench.................xx
Aaaaaghhhh! Katy! You've *written* all your cards??? I make all mine - and so far I've not made a single one. Now I'm panicking!!
I'm looking forward to a lie in tomorrow - on a school day too! - Zoladex injection booked for 10am. No point in going to school for 8.20, kids come in at 8.50 and I'd have to leave at 9.30, so we've swapped about (teacher I should cover on a Friday am had to go to the dentist on Mon am, so I covered her class then - or would have done if I hadn't have ended up elsewhere due to rampant lurg amongst the staff!!) so I'm going in straight from docs. Feels really wicked! 😛 I've earned it though: Out of uniform day today to raise money for school funds, and the triplets' mother thought it appropriate to send them in animal onesies!! 😞 It's been like working in a *****y zoo today!! Aaaarghhhh!!!!
Right! Off for my swim. Get rid of some of this STRESS!
Think everyone's marbles are all mixed up cause I found some but brain is NOT improving sooooooooo will have to search some more.....................yum yum choc cake.........
Have been sooooooooooo bad today, was in my jammies until 4 o clock, am all dressed and showered now but it soon will be time to put my jams back on again
!
Aaaaaah poems hope itchy stops soon nothing worse!
My alarm clock was going off for 40 mins before I heard it this morning, it's ridiculous, will have to pinch YD's clock and have two.
Hos appt tomorrow this one a train journey, have booked assistance makes things soooooooo much easier, woo hoo xx
PS on the "smug" bench wrote out all my X cards today and one present to buy now, have bought all sweetie stocking fillers, oh so organised!
Lost plottery shed this way, Grumpy ------->
I've put some chocolate cake in there...should help you sniff it out?
Here are some marbles I found earlier, that don't appear to belong to me! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hee hee!! Nothing wrong with BIG pants!
All went well today, have to double the dose of new meds so see how that works, if not there is some other new drug??? Will just have to wait and see................
Have to wait for blood tests regarding the B12 so won't know anything for another few weeks, Dec sometime whew!!
Rainy freezing cold day brrrrrrrr having macaroni for tea tonight, good comfort food, yum and some chocolate yum and maybe more chocolate yum xx
Sounds to me like you are like me, Katy, and cry at the drop of ANYTHING - never mind a hat- when you are tired?! Hopefully, these Hosp appts will sort you out with meds to fix the anaemia, if that's what it is. I'll keep everything crossed that it all goes ok.
Man came out to survey for cavity & loft insulation this am, while I was at work. I've just seen the quote and it includes a water tank jacket. OMG!! I hope he didn't look in the airing cupboard! I forgot he might and the weekend washing was 'finishing off drying' on the tank: ie it was *festooned* with underwear (and none of it dainty think Bridget Jones' Diary: "big pants"!!) Glad I won't be here when the installers come. *red face*!!
Haha grumpy that indeed would be a sight to behold, red faced, in your jammies and steam coming from your ears!
Hot flushes mmmmmm mine seem to come and go in phases minimal for a few weeks then crazy for a few, simply cannot work it out..............
FF how lucky, I'm wearing the 40 jumpers and have heating on, thick frost this morning!
JCJ, that's just fab that your OH has told your children such a big relief for you, hard keeping eveything to yourself. You had a superly busy day and you have had a lot of pressure no wonder you are tired!!
Yep that's what is happening for Xmas Day, sounds awful but it's not the dinner etc, it's the length of time everyone stays..........GUILT again!
Ali, glad you had your "happy" time with son!
Start hos appointments tomorrow, Mum has just come around and left me some pennies with the order to get taxis everywhere, more tears, really have to calm myself down xx
Hahaha Ali. I hope Dink wears her pink jumper and mascara (see my album anyone who hasn't seen Dink in her finery!)Then she'd be bound to win!! 
Keep unburdening JCJ, too much to keep to yourself cannot be much help medically but can support you virtually. Like your rat but it gives me goosebumps!
Another chilly day here SNOW is being forecast today/night brrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Have to go into town but not in a hurry thank goodness, everything seems to take such a long time to do!!
Spoke to ED and we are not having Xmas Dinner, everyone is coming and we will have an easy brunch, even with all the help I just can't see me being able this year sooooooooo after lots of tears, I feel such relief!
GUILT was horrendous................
YD says she's delighted and feels happy about Xmas now, ED says "Mum, it's only a dinner" it doesn't matter the most important thing is that we are all together...................more tears.................xx
Katy, I DID ask to go with him, even got it cleared with my HT, but he didn't want me there. I'm not one of those bossy wives that try to take control, so I let him go by himself. There is a website, similar to this one, for PD so I may ring their helpline to get reassurance/advice. I'm just going to focus on the fact that if OH is happy, I should be. He won't let me tell the 'kids' until he sees them in person. ES was here last week so we probably wont see him for a few weeks at least, and YD scheduled to visit 7th Dec (for mince pie manufacturing marathon) so I'm struggling a bit to know what to do when people ask. Hence unburdening myself on here - thanks ladies!! x
Kay, I meant to ask earlier: If you don't mind me asking. I may even have asked you before - (I, too, am missing a marble or 6!) Is it a local firm (can't even remember where you live 
- I'm in the midlands) - or a national one that is doing your kitchen? Would you recommend them? I only ask because I'd love to have a new kitchen but don't know where to start. They're so expensive and I don't want to be ripped off! Feel free to PM me if you don't want to name names publicly! If we have any money left after cavity/loft insulation (thoroughly researched company coming to survey on Tuesday...I got my act together after b******king OH about cold callers!!), I may start pestering OH again about kitchen (what was that about not being a bossy wife?? )
Well, I totally ignored said hoover, it's NOT coming out of that dark, dark cupboard...............
For being on the "CBA" bench you have managed quite a lot JCJ!
All the fencing talk has left me confused (unable to find my marbles) when I was a schoolgirl one of our activities was fencing so am a dab hand at feint attacks, ripostes and lunges!
Aaaaaaaaaah your OH, so hard when you are not aware of the whole picture, if you read side effects on any medication it's scary stuff and like your OH find it amazing that some of the effects are ones you are taking the meds for???? Did he come with you JCJ? If so you may be able to drop huge hints about coming with him for next visit, just wishing the best for you both xx
How lovely Kay, have you been shopping abroad before?? Always looks sooooooo good!
Good to hear you are still pottering as obviously kitchen will not be finished until that tea bag thingy is in place!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr another cold day here but we have sunshine again, the "CBA" bench seems to be my favourite just now, have 3 hos appointments next week (not BC related) 2 in another city which means I will have to get up really early, oh deary me! Bus for one and train for the other, not filling me with joy! Will have to get onto the "well, will have to just get over it" bench!
Can't believe the time......................where has the morning gone??? Hoover is calling from the dark, dark cupboard, should I just ignore it?? xx
, Good job I'd finished my muggatea or there would have been splatters everywhere!!
Hahahahaha, will be smiling for the rest of the day, thank you xx
