One of those days today! I was trying to get packed for my hospital stay, tidy up the house. I did a woollen wash and put stuff out on the line. I was aiming to get out in time for lunch with my knitting group friends.
I then started to clean the E bay high chair DD bought for use here. Not a good idea! If you put a tap on, make sure the plug is out of the sink. Don’t go off and do something else!
So I rushed back into the flood, upstairs to the airing cupboard, got out the “doggy towels” to mop up. I cleared up, whilst paddling about in the room in wet slippers, socks and trouser bottoms. The tap had over flowed across the work surface into the cupboard underneath. This soaked a box of washing powder, which is now in the shed drying out. The box will need re-gluing.
There is moral here somewhere.
During this crisis I was talking on the phone to SIL who rang to wish me well in hospital.
I have now girded up my loins for parathyroid surgery tomorrow.
Due to go in at 8am beds permitting with hopefully just an overnight stay. I have no idea how I will feel afterwards.
Probably come home with a bolt through my neck! 
Very happily my lovely DD is coming over on Saturday to cook me a meal and administer TLC, her suggestion, knowing that her father is as much use as a chocolate fireguard at such times. Its very useful having a nurse in the family she was so lovely today, and I will see DGS. 
galen 
your in for a fun time with DGD
Congratulations on telling them JessM - that makes it real now! How do you fancy some crystal glasses as a leaving present.........
butty your lunch sounds perfect
jess have you just made your decision to move to North Wales or have I missed it along the way?
Nellie I didnt but my DH must have said I told you so a trillion times
Sorry Butty speed-reading is not my forte just lately. Must concentrate more. In that case, I hope YOUR lunch was as lovely as you made it sound 
Bags you can stop looking for your lunch guests now - they were all round at Butty's
when It was my lunch! I didn't go to all that trouble to have it attributed to B! @ miffed.com
Been into town to spend my Christmas Bonmarche voucher. Got 2 tunic tops, a jumper, and a pair of trousers, haven`t worn trousers since Adam were a lad, dread to think what I`ll look like 
but I want to wear tunic tops, and they don`t really go with skirts, do they?
Had a fright last night, Mia was in the yard, we heard a dog snarling, Mia shrieking, 
when I got out there she`d disappeared, and I was worried that she`d gone off to lick her wounds after the dog had had her, but she turned up an hour later, all in one piece, praise be.
well done ella.
I agree butty .
Car passed MOT Man did garden repair.
Told the other U3A trustees that I am moving! I am moving GN! To North Wales.
Butty as soon as you step off a plane in the UK, we'll be urging you to come for a meet-up, whichever part of the country you're in.
Bags your lunch sounds lovely. Wish I'd been there!
Yes, I hope so too.
I hope so too, butty
Just finished hosting a fun Spring Equinox lunch for my friends. Everyone joined into the spirit and wore home made headdresses made from pickings from their gardens.
Good food some wine and laughter.
The sun shone, too!
They just don't listen to advice! I hope you keep saying we told you so! 
Woke up and began making breakfast for DH and I--phone rang, toast got burnt while I was on the phone, forgot all about it, and knocked over a whole cup of tea,--phone call was from my son he was pulled over by the Police due to a problem with his tyres, that DH has been telling him about for weeks---Police would not allow him to drive the car so had to eat breakfast on the way to help my son with organising RAC and tow truck etc, tow truck company charged £109 to tow the car away and all this before 10am!!! But I went out for a nice meal this evening so that put the world to rights
I was a rather naughty Nanna today.
DD texted me to say she had spent most of the morning rescuing my DGs from rolling over and over onto hot radiators or underneath the Sofas and getting stuck.
I helpfully suggested that at least if was wedged under the sofa he would be safe and she would know where he was.
I think the need to baby proof their home has come upon them more quickly than they imagined.
I bumped into my first ex-husband today, and we had the first civilised, albeit short, conversation, that we've had for 21 years!
I'm still in shock
I had quite a peaceful day and just watched Butterflys, which was a 1970's comedy with Wendy Craig, I dont know why but I love it
