One of those days today! I was trying to get packed for my hospital stay, tidy up the house. I did a woollen wash and put stuff out on the line. I was aiming to get out in time for lunch with my knitting group friends.
I then started to clean the E bay high chair DD bought for use here. Not a good idea! If you put a tap on, make sure the plug is out of the sink. Don’t go off and do something else!
So I rushed back into the flood, upstairs to the airing cupboard, got out the “doggy towels” to mop up. I cleared up, whilst paddling about in the room in wet slippers, socks and trouser bottoms. The tap had over flowed across the work surface into the cupboard underneath. This soaked a box of washing powder, which is now in the shed drying out. The box will need re-gluing.
There is moral here somewhere.
During this crisis I was talking on the phone to SIL who rang to wish me well in hospital.
I have now girded up my loins for parathyroid surgery tomorrow.
Due to go in at 8am beds permitting with hopefully just an overnight stay. I have no idea how I will feel afterwards.
Probably come home with a bolt through my neck! 
Very happily my lovely DD is coming over on Saturday to cook me a meal and administer TLC, her suggestion, knowing that her father is as much use as a chocolate fireguard at such times. Its very useful having a nurse in the family she was so lovely today, and I will see DGS.

All the very best, Nellie. Keep us informed of your progress. Hope you will feel the benefit of your surgery very soon. 
Good grief, am I the first poster? This must be a first!

GN has been 'off' all day here - I have been lost 
I think the site has been down galen Good morning.
I'm relieved my AGM is over. Last year it was a little acrimonious because some members were used to it being a debating shop. This year I was forewarned and all business done in 30 minutes including the 5 minutes at the beginning when I told them what wonderful, hardworking trustees they have, which is true. Everyone surprised it went off so smoothly
Going to see the GSs in 3.5 weeks and have a mountain of things to do before I go. Tally ho.
Hope you are doing well, Nellie
It is the most glorious day here - very cold but clear skies and bright sunshine. Beautiful!
Jess Nothing to do with being forewarned re. AGM - it was your stunning make-up! 
Counting the days - lucky, lucky you!

I'm babysitting my favourite baby as her mum is poorly.
She has grown so much in a very short time and is trying so hard to talk. She understands what you say to her really well and is quite comical in her replies!
I just get overwhelmed with love for her
