What Do You Have Planned For Next Week

I’m going to Cardiff for the week with my daughter and 2 of her children. We are taking her 7 year old to a specialist centre for some intensive physiotherapy following her operation in May. We are hoping for some exciting results as she has shown lots of improvement.

We hope to be back by 6 o’clock on Friday and at 7 o’clock one of my sons and his family willl be arriving for the weekend. We have 16 people for lunch on Saturday and I’m feeling very smug as it’s already in the freezer and the shopping is being delivered by Waitrose on Friday night. I’ve insisted we all go out for lunch on Sunday though as I’m not organised enough to plan for that as well.

A great improvement on most weeks when I would be round at my dad’s cooking his lunch everyday!

Today, Monday, did household shopping and then painted the lowest 2 feet of the outside wall of our house, which is faced with concrete and painted, Fortunately, above that the walls are red brick. Cleaned paintbrush and stuck my working clothes in the washing-machine.

Gardening if weather is ok, very windy but sunny at the moment

Bikergran, you make a very good point. Thank you. I really must get my act together on that score. I'm far too naive and trusting in this modern technological world. It's a pity we have to think in this way but I suppose forewarned is forearmed.k

Have a bout of diverticulitis so lucky me will be well acquainted with the loo til the antibiotics kick in. Week done. TMI - probably but you did ask.

You wonderful people, managing to fit so much into your already hectic lives. I have 4 different hospital appointments, including 2 50 miles apart on the same afternoon. Must change the less important one before I forget! Otherwise care for disabled DH, tiptoe round DS's Asperger's Syndrome funny moods, finish my current de-clutter, lick garden into shape, redecorate house, learn how to use my new sewing machine, daily routine, do on-line study assessments, work on family tree etc, etc. I know not many will get done, but you can live in hope! I think I'll just shove DH out of upstairs window - he's driving me demented at present!!!

This is a rough guide as I HATE to be tied to set plans all the time! I tend to put washing on as and when and clean bathrooms over most days. I'm usually at my daughter's overnight one night a week for after school care of GC, but I don't have to go this week! Obviously that shortens my week so I'm making the most of the opportunity to do my crafting.
It took me a while to slow down after retirement but I think I've cracked it!

Today - getting locksmith in to fix lock which came away in my hand yesterday - done.
Rest of week - painting walls which involves cleaning first and scraping away the paint that was sloshed around by whoever painted it yesterday.
Objecting to the double yellow lines that they want to put everywhere on our estate so that it will be difficult to get things delivered. We have a car park but they have gone berserk with double yellows everywhere around people are coming on to our estate to park so we need the one remaining bit of road to be left.
When I finish the painting, I'm going to order a new sofa and then rest.
