Politics and Sorting Clothes

 We visited my friend yesterday, who we haven't seen since before the start of the school holidays. Now, nothing really surprises me anymore but she did this time! She's been a Labour supporter all her life but told me she doesn't like Kier Starmer, and thinks there's nobody in the Labour Party atm who is any better and could replace him. We both agreed on that, and agreed that Angela Rainer was probably set up (being told how to bypass paying the correct tax on her flat) and then reported to Inland Revenue, probably by someone who she'd upset in the past. Now, I don't normally talk politics to friends and family as it can cause arguments, but my friend brought up the subject this time. We had a lovely chat all afternoon, as OH dropped me off and took our dogs for a trip to the park. Really love visiting there and enjoying her homemade cake just out of the oven.

I've nearly finished sorting my winter clothes and packing away all the summer things now. I definately have far too many clothes atm. I've put 15 tops and blouses in the office ready to list on ebay this week, and managed to sell 3 so far. Plus I've listed a handbag I've never used and a pair of trainers that are new but too small. I should have returned them really but its too late now. Things have started slowly selling again since they reduced the buyer protection fee on low priced items, but it's not as busy as before. I still need to sort out shoes, coats and jackets next. I've bought a lovely jumper dress and a pair of warm cord trousers for the winter so I have everything ready for when it snows lol. Not much chance of that here in South Devon but you never know.... I'm aiming to fit all my clothes into one 6ft wide wardrobe, instead of packing away out of season clothing into suitcases, and putting them up the loft twice a year.

Bye for now All the best

Recovering.....

 Have been quite ill this week which was unfortunate as we had both sons staying here. It started with bad stomach pain last weekend so I rang the GP Monday morning. 3 hours later the Dr saw me did blood tests etc and sent me home with antibiotics. Late afternoon he rang again and sent me to hospital! I was so shocked but apparently I needed IV medication. Had 5 ECGs maybe 6 I lost count, probably due to the shock of being sent to hospital lol Weight, more blood, urine tests, and what I think was a dementa test lol. Do you know where you are, what year is it, date of birth, say the months of the year backwards starting with December!!!!!!!! Pleased to say I passed. Off for a chest x-ray, hooked up on a drip all in one hour of arrival. Husband said it's restored his faith in the NHS. It is definately nothing like you see on the news condemming the poor service to patients. Saw 2 consultants, several doctors, nurses and HCAs always there for you, offering drinks, pain relief, checkin...

Babysitting and Dr Who's kitchen!

 Travelled back to our hometown yesterday and called in to see our eldest son. He's renovating his dining room and it's starting to look very good. Son always strips everything back when decorating, ie new patio doors, walls plastered, new flooring, new skirting board etc. He's definitely a perfectionist. We met DGD on the way to daughter's home riding her bike home from school. DD and her colleagues all meet up in a local pub with their children every Friday, so we spent an hour there before going to DDs home. Its really nice that they are all friends as well as colleagues. Today, Saturday, OH put up a shelf in DGDs bedroom, and then we spent the day visiting relatives. Managed to catch 2 nieces, 2 sisters, sister's boyfriend, and our Brother-in-law. Haven't seen him for months, as he's been staying on and off with his mum and sister since my sister died last year. We took DGD around with us as we're looking after her while DD is away for the weekend. I...

That's Christmas Done!

 It was a bit chaotic here at Christmas as son, daughter and granddaughter all arrived. I did go to the pub Xmas Eve which was nice. They had a guitarist singing some old song like 'My old man's a dustman' which took me back to when I used to take my mum out Xmas Eve. She used to love the Salvation army band playing in the streets. Now I'm not religious at all but have every respect for the Salvation Army as they have an excellent brass band. They always turned up at our home with presents and food for mum and my siblings when I was young.  Also, they were the only people to get my late brother off of drugs permanently, and several other agencies had tried for years, including all the drug workers from various agencies, including social services They also found him accommodation as he was homeless at the time.                  The Demon cars              My kitchen worktop! Back to Xmas, and we hav...
