What a lot of crappy things going on. X
It's good you're BP is down, last time I had an ECG the electrodes kept dropping off.
How's Ben doing has he decided what he needs to do for his media presentation?
I'll just leave these here (bear) (panda)
Actually to make it worse it wasn't even a proper letter it was an MRI report..... most of which she hasn't understood so has spent the day googling.....
It was nice to be told something was going in the right direction, after all I had my dietician's appointment yesterday who asked me to stand on scales then said "Do you know where I calculate a healthy bmi for you?" So I need to lose a huge amount.... :( But she wants it down slowly and carefully.....
Shh, tomorrow is meant to be my allocated rest day - I have treadmilling and peaky blinders planned.....
Oi Cheeky!
Yup, but it is what it is and I will push through.... just need to shift this headache! :) <<---- Look, positivity even though everything around me seems a big bit sh*t! :)
(angel)
I still have to lose about half my body weight so you're not alone (panda)
Morning, gorgeous, how are you?
Morning... Am very tired. Have to take F to the drs, then planning a bit of a nap!
(panda)
One of the best things about losing weight is that the pace is yours. Go fast, go slow. Take a break. After a bad day the next will be ok again.
I hope your nap will be good.
Hope Drs goes ok. And that you really have that nap ....
Lol, dr's was OK. She has to have a blood test, so we booked that for next week.
No treadmill as I've broken a couple of toes! Stupidly I went to get some kinseo tape for my left foot that's been a bit grumbly with the weather changes and I wanted to get onto my treadmill. As I was coming out clutching my rainbow kinseo tape I slipped on a carrier bag and smashed my right foot into the metal insert bits of the wheels of Eva (my off road walker) and felt and heard my little toe and the one next to it snap and they've turned a lovely mottled purple colour! So... I've kinseo'd them too. I haven't gone to the walk in centre as last time I broke my metatarsal and toe (left foot hence the grumble in this weather) I was offered a fracture boot, but the nurse agreed that as "you're more than wobbly as it is on your feet" she decided that having unequal foot heights "probably won't do you any favours and you'll only end up as an inpatient with much worse injuries" so we discussed options and she agreed the kinseo tape would be best.
Then next door was having CCTV fitted which has meant them drilling both back and front ALL afternoon! My head is banging! So no nap either!
Ouch!!!! I have bubble wrap if you need it??? Feet up at least??
Had to look up kinesio tape had assumed it was duct tape but no it's for medical applications (why am I saying this of course you know what it is ;) ) hope you're sitting with your feet up and the drilling next door has stopped. (bear) (panda)
Yes feet are up and very rainbow taped!
Oh no! Please let your lot run around after you (bear)
Was all going well, girls and I were cooking pizza and then another house few doors down has just been burgled! 2 in just over a week! The most we've ever known here is a party go on late and loud one night when we first moved in and we had people apologising to us!
But the men from Amazon turned up with all Fern's pressies so we're all ready for her tomorrow! My baby will be 14 already!
Oh no :( that’s awful! How are the kids coping with it? Any concerns from them?
Kids are a bit concerned, but to be honest we've been encouraging Crash to bark at anything and everything and he's getting rather good at it! :)
Fern's pressies arrived and she loved them all!
Morning, lovely, how’s things?
Well, be proud... I went shopping with Fern to get the bits she wanted for her sleepover party tonight and to post the forms for Marc's pip tribunal. It was the easier option as I set Marc, Haz and Ben cleaning the house! They've done brilliantly!
So, I've sat down to drink my mocha and check in , then I'm going to make some brownies and some chocolate fudge pudding which she wanted as her birthday cake!
Then it should be pretty simple until I cook dinner - apparently they wanted to go "old school" and have dippers and chips and sweetcorn because one of F's friends is from Romania and she was amazed by tinned sweetcorn when she arrived so now every time she comes over and birthday and christmases she gets a tin of sweetcorn from F!
Her 2 friends arrive around 3 and we shall be evicted from downstairs at about 9 and then I'm making pancakes in the morning for breakfast as D didn't get any pancakes this year and Fern promised her I would! lol
So yes, I'm hurting like hell, worse than in a long time actually.. but I am being sensible. I'm not cleaning, not hoovering, and I'm using my mixer to make the brownies and fudge pudding!
I am proud. I know you’d have wanted to bake F what she wanted so keeping spoons for that is awesome! Hope they all have fun tonight :)
Brownies and choc fudge pud sounds delicious, I'm sure a good time will be had by all (party)
Well the choc fudge cake exploded covering the entire oven and shelves and doors in thick fudge sauce... I've dropped almost everything I've touched! Marc's cleaned the oven and Ben has been picking things up for me all day.. Oh and Marc gave Crash (and Moiya and Willow) a bone last night and he's been repeatedly sick this afternoon... So no more bones. And it was when Marc popped out so I had to get to the floor to clean it!
So am signing out from my laptop very soon as we are going to eat and go upstairs to leave the girls to it!
Sounds like a busy event all day long. But a loving and caring troop around you (bear)
Oh no! I so hope you’re planning an easy day tomorrow (panda)
Most definitely! We are relegated to our room (awesome!!!!) And the girls are sorted.
How are you doing?
Walking through really sticky overly reduced treacle..... However, have done the basics. Dropped the girls into town so they could go shopping and dyed my hair as it's been getting to me. Am cooking overly healthy dinner for me as I really feel I need it itms? A couple of days off the diet wagon and I feel I NEED to get back on...
Am also having fun eyeing up bits of fabric and stuff to play with my new (to me) sewing machine!
Damn that treacle :( Well done for doing the basics and a little self care too. Easy day tomorrow?
I have plans for tomorrow. It involves taking the kids to school, walking on my treadmill, a GOT episode or 2 with Marc and playing with my sewing machine! :)
Playing with a sewing machine sounds like fun is it like my mum's where you turned a handle or is it one of these here new fangled machines with all the bells and whistles?
It's an electric one, but with really simple buttons! THIS is mine!
How’s things?
Today's plan has changed.. I was sat talking to Marc about broadband options and (unsurprisingly) I fell asleep... So we have had lunch and are watching GOT....
GoT is definitely the better plan ;)
Yup! That's what we thought too!
Yay! Resting! :)
Well, I'm signing out earlier tonight!
Fern's had an allergic reaction to the booster jabs she had on her birthday. She always has an allergic reaction, but they normally go down in 48 hours. This one is still so hot you can feel it through her blazer! No appointments at out GP or practise nurse. So we called 111 who said she had to be seen within 12 hours and I had to check on her every 2 hours over night.. So we went over to the out of ours appointment they had made at 7pm to wait 20 mins to be called in and told "there is no infection just give calpol and nurofen"
So I'll just keep an eye on her and see how she is over the next couple of days...
(panda) gentle ((hugs)) for Fern
Thank you! I passed them on to her!
How’s our Ferny?
