Morning all! 
and yes, it does feel a touch milder here too, so good to see a bit of blue in the sky rather than yesterday’s complete grey cover of cloud. There’s a bit of breeze too. 

I totally understand the dust and trials of extensions and new bits of building work, plus the difficulties with 3 feet walls of hefty stone! I was still clearing away dust a few months after our kitchen/music room extension had been ‘broken through’, the redecorating and furnishing took a while too. But daughters last house was the lower two storeys of a 4 storey bobbin mill near Macclesfield and the conversion of that took a good deal of time and moneys. It had been ‘botched’ into a house but still had an open drain in a store room off the kitchen. That place had walls 3 1/2 feet thick! Her plans together with her builder, made a wonderful big square farmhouse-type kitchen/diner. But hubs refused to drill the walls to wire speakers through!!! 

thinking of all who are struggling in any way today and sending healing hugs xxx

Hmmmm, and suddenly the sky is again an even grey and it’s raining!

Hiya  Wakey Wakey Club 

Just to raise a smile for the 'night shift'

Our daughter is a nurse and was filling out discharge forms for two patients - In walks another ward nurse with a box of chocolates.

"Can you look after these, they are for us" puts them on top of her paperwork and walks out. Daughter 'sure' taking them off the forms and putting them in the nurse station drawer.

Few minutes later in walks another nurse looking for a pen, opens drawer and see the choccies... 'Whose are these' she asks - Daughter "They are for us" lovely she says ripping open the box and taking a few. Daughter unable to resist also eats a couple.

Later on in comes nurse 2   "Did you give Russ his box of chocolates" she asks.... EEK! reality dawns... They were for a patient!!!

Apparently Russ was down in xray earlier.  Daughter then has to rush around all the uni hospital shops looking for a similar box of chocolates - Luckily found some then had to dive in the bin to re-attach the gift tag.

Cost her 30 minutes ward time but no doubt helped with her stepometer lol

Gotta Love the NHS, bless em'

Hiya and sorry for the silence lately - I have basically been sleepy all the time because of my pain meds and my bloods have been dodgy (again) which I think is wiping me out a bit too, so I haven't belonged on the Awake thread at all, what with one thing and another!!

Hope everyone is coping with SEs, appointments, daily life, lack of sleep, etc....!

I'm currently in bed watching the build up to the leaders' debate, so no doubt it will be lulling me off to sleep shortly!

Sorry that I haven't managed to read and catch up with everyone's news, but I hope I'll be a bit more with it over the weekend.

I also wanted to say, thank you everyone (LondonLass, Northerner, moomy, Lacomtekp and all others who I have missed) for the reassurances about not being a bad mother and so on!

I'm trying to keep positive but the negative thoughts still sneaking in sometimes!

Thank you xxx
