Aw mrsox, sounds like you've had a rough time since you were last here. I often think it's the people around us who suffer more than we do whilst we're on the roller coaster ride - we have to hold on and tried to avoid falling out whilst they get to just watch and can't do anything about it if we do! I truly hope you and your boys are able to access any support that you feel you need.
As for the bowel nasty - hope it's not TOO nasty and that you don't have to have anything else done apart from whipping it out and getting shot of it...
Yay for boots - you go stamping on life as you always have! They sound great - I've had to retire my DMs as my feet are often so swollen now that I can't get them on! It's the little things that piss you off... I'm now into sparkly Sketchers instead!
Hugs to you and your men!
Have they got you tied to the bed? Good grief, poor you, you must be desperate to get out by now. Unless, of course, you've secretly become a lover of hospital food and a lack of sleep!
Fingers crossed that you'll soon be allowed home to get some real rest and relaxation...
Massive hugs to you!
Lovely photo . Glad you are having a wonderful time.
Wishing everyone a........
Was it me you were asking on behalf of Northerner Thanks!!
Hope it’s a good week for all. Those that are stuck in Hotel NHS, I hope you start to feel better soon and that you are on your way home ASAP! Good Luck to anyone having treatment this week, hope it goes well and side effects are kind!
Sending lots of love to all you lovely Fruit Loops! ((((((((((GROUP HUG)))))))))
God give me patience ! I slept for 1 hour last night after struggling with this ruddy virus. I got up at 5am as starving so made egg on toast then put the washing on, dropped DD to work, filled up with petrol, popped into town to get some veg. Walked past a man sitting on pavement, felt guilty so bought him food and hot drink. Then I went to Tesco as I’m half way to the car monster size hail stones attacked me. Came home , cooked lunch, checked on tea tonight (slow cooker ) . Woodburner not lit as we have no logs the right size and OH not up to cutting them as he has MAN FLU! He’s annoyed I’ve given him the lurgy! Happy Monday everyone
Oh I so understand where you are coming from! Tummy probs overnight tried for sleep in this morning gardener rang at 7.15 to say not coming today as it had rained overnight .
Windows been delivered delivered for fitting tomorrow . Bed been to fix hydraulics on ottoman bed Long story hubby managed to lock them .
Anyway the reason for the empathy is ...... hubby informed me his back bad ......bless you sit down then ! Oh ! You already are ......

Poor dears. Their troubles are always so much harder than anything else. It's a miracle they manage to drag themselves out of bed. Heroes, every last man.
I’m sitting here with a cuppa watching White House farm ! The welsh accent is so distracting as it’s so bad I keep laughing ! It reminds me of the Swansea song ‘oi mush’.
We have logs now and fire lit! Went to Home bargains and he bought himself 3 packets of biscuits, two boxes of wine gums and a 3 pack of double deckers! Talk about feed a cold !!!
Northerner hope your bed is fixed. I have visions of it stuck in open position and you both sleeping at a 45 degree angle trying to keep hold of quilt
