How was your day?

It all started at midnight when Magic Sam didn't / wouldn't come in. We called and called but with no success. We went to bed, between the two of us getting up every 30 minutes and going outside calling, nothing! At 3.15am, t'other half went outside and opened the shed ... and guess who was locked in there ?????

This afternoon went to check out the new Aldi opened yesterday ... what a waste of time ... bought four tins of cat food (flat pack, 100g @ 24c / 17p each) and a tin of olives with pimentos. Onward to the new Leroy Merlin opened yesterday ... wrong, now it's opening Monday! Two disappointments! Ah, ha, to a garden centre / tropical plants / unusual plants / etc ... success .... bought a Penta (red) Rondeletia leucophylla (Egyptian Star Cluster), 70cm tall, 3 roots in the potj (20cm). Now have to find where to put it !!!! Only 4 Euros (�£2.80)!

Bad new on arriving back, phone call from England and good friend has lung cancer ..... now have a large G&T and big sigh.

 

Well, after the usual get up and get the kids to school and me to work, I finally got home around 2 (1 1/2 hours late), hung some washing out, went and got kids from school, couldn't bothered to cook tea, so we swung by McD's for a drive through (we don't usually do McD's, but this was an emerency 'coz I'm shattered with a "K"!!!), then drove down the beach, found a picnic table and RELAXED!!!!!! ........ It was beautiful down there, but a bit on the cool side!!!! :eek: We watched the ships go up and down the Solent for a while, then got back in the car and came home... have to collect No2 son in a few minutes, then swimming club.....

 

we spent the day stripping wallpaper that had just been put up last wednesday!! my husband did such a tatty job i made him start again from scratch..allthough me and the dog did help strip the wallpaper this time ..and i pasted and supervised the hanging of the replacement..so all this was going on till 8 last night..i did manage to get outside to water the essentials..and today it was put everything back day..

 

Aahh, both t'other half and I HATE wallpaper and love it here because you just paint all walls white!

 

Our friday was a crap day..Our son had an operation that lasted 5 hours and we were just about beat last night..
Today he has the whole World on his shoulders and we are targets for his gripes.
I suppose that's what love means..Take the ****e and hope for some praise.

Paladin ... five hours is a long time and please give him all good wishes for a speedy recovery from Portugal (whoops, unless he's an avid footballer and hates this country at the moment!).

Esperamos muitos melhores ....

 

Best of luck to the young Paladin,hope he soon recovers.
When they are young they are tough cookies so look after him,take all the crap and he may do the same for you one day.

 

After a 5 hour op I think I would be very crabby :( I do hope that your son is feeling a little better today, and making steady progress

 

must have been a big operation it has probably taken a lot out of him..i wish him a speedy recovery!!I suppose the heat doesnt help either if you are unwell as its draining..

 

What the lad needs at the moment is lots of TLC and plenty of ice cream to help him recover Slurp...

Thats if he is allowed or feels like any solids at the moment.

I wish him a speedy recovery and best wishes xxx

Up date..My son was very touched and thanks you all for your kind words of support. He is much better tonight and we even had a few laughs between the tears...I haven't been beaten yet!! :D
Thanks from Mrs Pal and myself also....x

 

Good to hear Paladin - may recovery be swift, for both of you :D
