Helloooooooooo!
I am sat in the staffroom with my laptop and pretending to look busy and studious. Guess I did well managing 3 days without you all....
This is going to have to be short cos I am at work and can't type for long (hoorah you lot say)
What bugs me is I can't see what you lot have been up to or say hi to most of you without going through some long rigmarole of looking up each of you individually. Ho hum.
So, the big move.....
Actaully for Little My and her chaotic life, it went very smoothly. The only things that got broke were a bowl and me. ha ha.
Nice removal men turned up early (!) worked their socks off drank lots of tea and shifted everything from our crazy house on a vertical hill to our dirty bungalow.
P and the cats were safely ensconsed in the new house to clean and Little My came back to the old house to help the men. Pulling out cupboards, there were lots of scary spiders and dust balls and it seems all those mice we thought the cats had killed were actually living it up with the moths under the bookcases.... So Little My starts to clean and move some boxes etc to help and (you know what is coming I didn't!)
Hmmm baggy feels a bit sore... Better have a look. Oh dear. Seems baggy has been telling the intestines crowd tales of what the world looks like as he can now see outside the bowels of the body and they are getting jealous and want to have a look and move house too.... so they popped out to say hi and have a look at the house with no furniture in and the spiders...
So, today of all days, I can't go to a hospital so what do I do. Removal men are shouting up the stairs where do you want this etc and Little My is on the phone to the stoma nurse saying my intestines are hanging out what do I do? No answer- gone on holiday. I poked them back in (euch) and then alternative nice nurse who is standing in for dippy nurse phoned and it was a bit like one of those disaster films where they talk an idiot down flying a plane... so she talked me down what to do and told me that I wasn't to lift anything at all ever etc for at least 2 weeks and if I did as she said I might get away without going to hospital etc... Grrrr.
So Little My who likes to do stuff etc has to stand and watch and direct people and not move anything at all aaarrrggghhh!
And I know, I know, you told me so and all that... and P keeps shouting at me if I try and lift anything.
So we are in the house. It has 50 years of nicotine stains on the walls and floors and ceilings and old lady lampshades etc but it will be lovely.
We didn't get a takeaway or drink gin, but we did go to the pub for dinner ha ha !
THe cats hid for a day behind a cardboard box despite the pheromones but are daring to come out now
No internet yet and I am looking at the light so I can talk to you lot more.
Everyone is coming in and asking me questions and my colleague has just come in and sat next to me and is looking to see what I am doing.... its getting tricky so gotta go....
Love you all lots and take care. I am reading and sympathising etc even if I can't comment
Love you, bug hug
