Good, glad to hear you got an appointment Becks. My guess for today would be a bracelet and some sweets.
Can anyone else see the hamburger sweater? Uggh!
I had home made pumpkin soup for lunch, made with the last of the big green pumpkin, which had lovely orange flesh and was quite sweet. I wonder if I can grow another of those next year? Have saved some seeds.
I'm running Cubs tonight as Akela is going to a football match - and being the recipient of some corporate hospitality so a meal and posh seats, not in the stands with the riff-raff. I'd still rather stay at home to be honest.
Is Jess taking herself to surgery-getting treatment a prescription and going to chemists alone-do they not realise she will be accompanied
Lottie-had to change browsers just for you too look at the hamburger sweater-at £28 a snip-trouble is it is sold out-that means there are some really lucky people out there-sadly I will not be amongst them
I'll look at both competions in a bit. Have done the GW one already.
The final piece of 'roller coaster' has been sorted. Daughter is in the proccess of buying her first house, but wouldnt tell me, as scared to!! OH knew & was decidedly unhappy with the situation & so told me- hence me feeling even worse about her not telling me. Didnt care not the first- Dads & daughters & all that. OH told daughter that I knew & still nothing said. Thought she'd come clean whist at GC this morning, no. Does she know how difficult it's been for me not to say anything?!!
Then we get home, she opens her PC & says 'do you want to look at the house?'!!
Lucky so n so will get a long, south facing garden, plus a good size front too. Has already assumed that Mum will 'do' it for her but didnt like the request for petrol £ & expenses!! She has actually done well. Good location, not the best in that area, but the next door so to speak. Work to be done so can add value etc- all those sessions of Location, Location paid off!
So that's another weight off mind. She needs her own space, especially with all her stuff. That means ours will appear emptier -yay- & so easier for us to get ready to sell! In the meantime we need to decide on where to- using the 'little house' as a base for exploring around there & w/ends in Manchester to explore another area I'd always loved & far enough away from daughter's not to be crowding her!
Becks well done for perservering with GPs. That was the correct route. A&E only for emergencies, which as Jess, though still unwell, wasnt. Good luck. J.
The thing is, the doctors are really great, it's just the system that lets it down. But it never used to be like this. You'd phone up, and get an appointment pretty much straight away. Don't know why it's changed. Oh well. Not the place for moaning! This is the Happy thread, or supposed to be!
Jo, I'd be throwing a party if any of mine suggested moving out! I don't know when they ever will - house prices are so expensive here I don't know how they will ever afford it. Plan is to sell the house out from under them....But I can understand your daughter keeping it secret and not wanting to upset you. I moved out gradually when I left home to move in with OH - my mum said one day she realised I wasn't coming home any more.
My doctor is lovely (not that I see much of him) but the reception staff are dragons.

I just phoned back, and she's got an appointment at 4pm. That'll do me.
Yay-I never doubted the doctors surgery for one minute
I did, useless F*****rs.
I asked for an appointment for myself as well, at the same time, and she no, no spaces left.
Only 2 entries so far???

What are you dealing with there-a bunch of idiots

Lottie, your guess is noted!
Thanks jo.
Jo that is great news-don't get the need for secrecy though-did she think you wouldn't notice
Now where is that avatar picture?
Going to find some dirty jokes to lighten the mood
