How’s your day going?

Here's a fairly trivial but daft thing.
I put an egg on to boil and walked away - not my usual behaviour. Silly me. I settled in the sitting room and started writing - editing my 'memoirs'.
Back to the kitchen later - the egg pan is completely dry. Did it boil dry or did I forget to put any water in the pan in the first place? Is this a sign of impending dementia? I tell myself that we all forget things sometimes, but still.

Thank you Kitty.Mums back from theatre, doing okay.We didn't go to see her this evening, as she didn't get back on the ward until 7 pm. Wishing i had gone now

Kitty, I think you will find those are my Premium bond winnings! This is the first month since I invested that nothing has come my way! Hope you are still more relaxed.

That is so sad, ann.

Our DS deserves a second chance at happiness as he has worked so hard to make a good and useful life for himself after his stroke and his flipping first wife but I must not get carried away, I must not get carried away............

And I won quite well on the Premium Bonds.

I hope everyone having a bad day has happier times soon.

Hopeful news about your S kitty
I hope it blossoms, how happy you will all feel.
Now if only my S would say the same.....
He is forever bound to a girl with bi-polar disorder.
She and I just don't and will never, get on.
They don't even live together, just have 3 lovely S' s in common and that is all.

My good day was marred whilst waiting at the tram stop with DH and man (possibly in his mid 60s) sat down beside us, took out a notepad, tore out about ten pages, screwed them up individually and threw them onto the lovely pristine tram stop pavement. Grr

It almost makes you believe in astrology doesn't it! be careful today as the stars are set against you actually they never say that. They are generally positive..
You got more than your daily share of bad luck I must say.
I've has a quieter day so far. I met an old pal for lunch who is always a tonic. Now I want a wee lie down.

We’ve had a series of technology failures; the coffee machine, which eventually replaced free of charge, the micro wave, which we replaced, the vacuum cleaner, which started to work again, my Apple Watch, which failed before it was a year old and has been gone for repair for weeks.

On Friday, I put a hole in the bumper of my car, because of a bolt sticking out from a notice and that’ll be expensive and last night, someone tried to break into the car.

I’m telling myself these are small things in the scheme of things and they are, but by golly, they’re annoying.

I've had brother visit this afternoon as he always comes on a Tuesday afternoon. I'm worried about my older brother's (79) health. He has been in hospital with urinary sepsis but he's weak and frail. Not right in himself.
I have lots of housework to do as I have my sister and family coming on Sunday. It's been neglected with hospital visits every day. Just couldn't be bothered with anything.
Not a FFS day today for a change lol. No offence but I'm glad it's not just me that has days like that. I just have to tell myself that tomorrow's another day and hopefully better.
Chin up, there's always someone worse off than ourselves.

That must be very hard for you milliespain. I don't really have much advice. I guess, just try to enjoy each day as it comes, like the rest of us do. Best wishes to you.

Had another bad day! hoping someone can advise. Cancer three years ago, all good now, regular checks everything fine. However living abroad no friends, no helpful Macmillan nurses and keep putting loads of pressure on HB! I am under so much stress and just need some advice on how to stop looking for signs of cancer coming back. I need to learn how to stop checking myself, read loads of books follow the advice for a day or so and then I am back where I started. So silly need help please.

You are sounding more positive Kitty. It is a good thing they are checking it out and now your DD and the doctors will be on a lookout for anything else so if necessary anything can be dealt with promptly.
Katy, hope all goes well for your mum today.

I'm with KatyK on this, annsixty. Real friends don't give a fig for how your house looks. Their visit is to see you. And, since you have a regular cleaner, I'll wager 'dirty' is the overstatement of the year. I don't have a cleaner and I'd only ever confess to grubby!! Contrary to OP, my day has started rather well with a spritely walk in fresh but pleasant weather. Lovely but..... I've had the other kind too!!

Good news Kitty.
Whenever I get a message from my son saying he is sick my heart sinks. The first time he was off work 7 weeks and the second time years later he was off work 7 months!

Ann do not fret I never notice is someone's house is clean or dirty and I am sure your friend won't. Not that I believe it is dirty anyway.

Why is it when we have days like that it starts with one thing going wrong and it just seems to escalate!!

katyj, I hope all is well for your mum.

Thank you all for your kindness yesterday. Feeling better today. Dd has had a referral to a dermatologist about a wart on her hand. He wants a biopsy as it looks precancerous.

I was feeling down about it as she had been on the phone for half an hour worrying about it. Therefore, I was worrying about it.

Reason has been restored and, with the help of the NHS website, I'm not so worried.

And, DS1 has announced he has 'been seeing' someone for a while. Which has cheered his old mum up no end!!

Not very well at all ! Mum has fallen breaking her hip.She's having her operation tomorrow.She's 87 hope she's okay, should be working tomorrow, but don't know wether to go .The nurse asked if I wanted a call before she goes down or after, I've opted for after, but don't know now wethere I should be there when she goes down or not.

It's been a good day for me; the gasmen finally left at 5pm, having safely installed the new boiler and got everything up and running, and I now have hot water! I am celebrating with a wee glass of sherry!

Oh dear, best wishes, Kitty and Nanda I bet you feel like crawling back to bed, don't you? As for onions all over the floor gt66 - well, words fail me. You have stolen my title of clumsiest woman in the world.
I opened a jar of beetroot this morning and (you guessed it) spilled some of the juice over my favourite tea-towel. I sprayed it and put it into soak, then added some towels etc and loaded the washer. Hey presto, the stain came out. Trivial compared to many troubles.

Hope all is well with DD kitty.

Had to laugh at all the bags though. Reminds me of my GS with his (slightly junior sized) double bass. Good job they don't have to go on bikes like we did.

Hope your day picks up. Mine has been enjoyably crap.

onions spilt not split over floor

No they don't ginny! I sweated onions yesterday, to use in a mince dish today, popped them in the fridge in a glass dish and for some unknown reason, despite opening and closing fridge door many times, at lunch time the glass dish fell out!! Instinct kicked in and I somehow managed to catch the dish, but oily onions split all over kitchen floor. What a mess!! They even fell through gap between freezer and built in door, necessitating hunting for correct screwdriver to unscrew door to clean inside!! Never in my life.................

Some days just don’t go as planned do they?
I have spent all morning trying to find a rug for our hall way and 2 bedside lights. No luck with either.
However I did have the bonus of calling in to see DGS 1 ( who is on study leave) and he made me a lovely cup of tea.

annsixty Don't worry about a 'dirty' house, which I'm sure it isn't. Enjoy your visit from friends and remember 'those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter'
