Ditto, I'm really excited for you Is it the one bed near your mum or the two bed? Maybe the latter as you mentioned guest facilities. I need to do a visit with Howie Last time we went to Giraffe we had fish and chips which is a bit lame as it has food from all around the world. The setting was good though as it was the south bank of The Thames. What's the New Orleans Quarter? Got my car back and it was more than I thought at £300 ETA Just found an envelope stuffed with about £1,500 in it when going through drawers

Yes, I am afraid I have had a bad day, although I did feel a bit better after a rest on the bed all afternoon. But that's another day gone with me being homeless but not doing anything about it Ditto, you are having better luck than me with a similar set up, but I hope all goes well and you pass muster. Pluto, when my dad died mum found two or three stashes of money squirreled away which came as a shock to her but he must have been putting it aside from his 'pocket money' as it wasn't from their joint account. It came in very handy in the immediate aftermath and was probably intended for that. Maybe that's what your dad did too. It is awful losing sleep over work Rainbow. Your sleeping patterns are bad enough as it is

Hey!
I finally got my butt in gear and got dressed, and went to ensemble. I wanted to see Gabe, so I was determined. I found an older pair of jeans that were loose around the waist, and it worked out.
Scary day yesterday, my son in law, who is a construction superintendent, but very hands on...got hit on the mouth with a street sign they were moving on a piece of equipment, and he made his way over to his pickup truck to sit and check out the damage. He doesn't remember, but his crew said he got up from there, walked a few feet, and keeled over, face first...broke his nose, concussion, and a hurt right arm. They took him to the hospital, and they did lots of tests to make sure there wasn't any brain bruising, but he was okay with that. They let him go home with Mindy, and he's been resting, but is ready to go back to work, cos he's that kind of guy.
PK, sorry for the set back day, I hope you're feeling better today, and can get some work done towards the new place. Are you going to be where you are for the next few weeks at least? Pluto, the money is def a plus for your repairs, and I'm sure your dad was saving it for just such a thing! I hope it's drying good so they can get to work on the bathroom. Good to have the week to get back on track, and regroup! Rainbow, I hope you get a good night's sleep, it can be very frustrating not to be able to rest your brain and just sleep! Ditto, I hope it all goes smoothly for you to get the apartment, it sounds perfect for you! I haven't seen you post so enthusiastically for quite a while! Take care all...hugs!

I went to bed very late after a few glasses of port S told me l can give up work if it stresses me out that much, not a practical solution but lovely of him to say so

Morning Another dreadful night's non sleep of tossing and turning from 1am till 5am. It's very frustrating. I'm on the strong coffee now. Maybe I'll nod off at the hairdresser this afternoon. The plumber has been able to start whilst drying out and he reckons the shower will be in place by Friday PK, sorry about the setback. i hope you can make some headway soon A secret stash is always a good find. I was very happy. M, that does does sound a scary situation for your sil and must have been quite a shock for him. I hope his work mates look after him if he is back at work. I bet Gabe was pleased to see you. Hope you are healing well Rainbow, that's very sweet of S to say give up work. If only it was a possibility. Maybe something else will still turn up though probably not with WS in their current climate. I'm taking mum back to the bank this morning to set up the SO for her care home funding. She has to be there in person though as soon as we set up the PoA it will be much easier. Hope there is good news for you today Ditto

P is it easy getting your Mum hither and thither? It's a nightmare getting our Mum anywhere now, I'd like to go bingo today at the new scheme but I'm not fit enough myself at the minute to manage it. I can't manouvre (sp?) her about and in/out of the w'chair/taxi. No it isn't easy at all. Her care home is near the town and I could push her to the bank but she prefers to go in the car. That's takes lots of maneuvering and moaning then I have to get the wheelchair in the car then find parking. It's all quite exhausting but it's a beautiful day Hopefully you can do Bingo again soon. Can your son in law be a ref? Is there a bed there already or will you have to get one? Your own bed finally

Hey! Quiet day, B still working on the bathroom...he is ready to with the border on the new paneling. Supposed to just glue up, but doesn't hold, he said tomorrow he's going to the Home Depot and asking for the quickest glue they sell, lol PK, hope you're able to get on and post soon! Pluto, it's nice you got your mom to all the places she needed to be, you are one determined woman! Rainbow, sounds like a nice visit with daughter and A! Ditto, you should be able to find two people easily! Lots of good stuff to be said about you! Still on the mend, taking a lot less pain killers, so that's good...still feel like all my lower exits are bruised, but that's getting better, too Take care all....hugs!

Hopefully she won't be too long so I can still get to choir - I can't sing well at all but I'm hoping choir will improve my voice Hope PK is feeling better Hope all goes smoothly for S and S Pluto

Fab to have an early finish Rainbow Is R looking at Springfield and Lyndhurst? How is your knee? I had a pleasant hour with my brother and sister when they returned from the solicitors. Brother was happy to take all dad's railway DVD's and the heirloom copper pan that was always earmarked for him. He also surprised me by saying we must hang on to certain paintings and a tapestry that belonged to our grandmother. I would have kept them anyway. The tapestry is quite od and is of a Flemish town and canal. It's always been a part of our lives. Did you send the card ages ago Ditto? Maybe it went the long way round! It's good that you already have stuff to go in the new place. Have you told your mum yet? I hope she is happy for you, especially as you will be so close by to her. Did you get to the Trafford Centre with her?

Hey! Just looking at pics of the horrible mess in Florida after Hurricane Michael! If it weren't for a cool front dipping down from the north we would definitely gotten some of that. So awful to know there's nothing you can do about the weather, it's doing what it wants... Pluto, the visits with your sister and brother sound nice...I know I enjoy seeing my little sis so much, and really miss my brother and sister, they loved to laugh as much as little sis and I! Do you think the shower will really be ready Friday/today? Getting any sleep yet? I hope so! Rainbow, shopping for schools already! Time flies! When would he start? Does she have to put his name down on a waiting list? He will probably love school! Ditto, I hope you're gathering all the paperwork you need to show them you are the right candidate for that flat! Cos you are! Did you get your mom to the Trafford Center? Is that like a mall? I hope you got some better sleep...another reason to have your own bed waiting! PK, not sure what's up, hope it's a connection problem and not health related! Gabe is spending the weekend with us, Mindy and hubby are flying to Dallas Texas for a Cowboy's game (football)...Jim is a fan! So she will drop him off Saturday, and he will sleep over Sat and Sun, we will bring him to school on Monday morning, and they should be back home by that afternoon. Take care all...hugs!

morning A starts school next September, but R has to apply by January so needs to look now. She wants him to go to a primary school which would mean staying at the same school til high school but Worthing has a mix of those and of infants and juniors where he would have to change schools at 7, it's also complicated by R working on the other side of town to where she lives so she has to factor in childcare or hope he gets a place out of catchment which is less likely, it's all very stressful for her Weekend with Gabe sounds lovely Marilyn, are you feeling any better? We have some big storms here, although nothing like hurricane level, hope it's not too bad near Deedee, Ditto and PK as it's more in the North, although it's quite windy here New washing machine arrives this afternoon Have a great Friday everyone

Morning There are far too many devastating weather events at the moment, all around the world it seems, though poor Florida seems to be a magnate. It must be worrying M, never knowing which direction it will take. Have a fun weekend with Gabe whatever you get up to. Hopefully there will be eating out! The guy said it will be finished today. It's just the doors and fitments to go on I think plus a new toilet cistern. W now have lovely gleaming white tiles I had a slightly better sleep though I was buzzing because of a mad decision which involved lots of computer time and decisions about money! Rainbow, that is such a dilemma for R. I wonder what the chances are of getting The Hawthorns for A It makes sense for him to go there but I guess there are impracticalities too. Enjoy your new washing machine. Is it an all singing, all dancing one? I'm off to London at lunchtime as we are seeing my favourite band tonight in Brixton Did you get a cat free sleep Ditto? PK, we miss you
