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. 
kitty What a beautiful wee baby. 
Glass Such a proud moment for all the family.
Bags See you soon, I hope. 
oo-er, lovely pics kitty.
still packing up office, another 9 boxes got from Waitrose. Just went for a lovely walk. Had to screw resolve to the sticking place but fine once moving and was rewarded with the sight of a gold crest. Tiny little thing and they are not at all concerned if you stand near them and stare as they search for things to eat in the bushes. Concerned that there is not much out there for those tiny insect eating birds though.
Don't think he's taken much notice of her yet Ga but the dog thinks she's fascinating. 
glass & Kitty* lovely photo's.
I've just come back from DDs to collect the meat for cooking which we will be having on Sunday,once again glamma doing the honours when it comes to catering for the family,I thought I would be very good and walk down to her house and leave the car at home all part of my "body magic" regeme great getting there only took me about 15mins brisk walk,what I had not realised was that she had bought a massive leg of pork and a leg of lamb and frozen them both so I had to get the bus back mr.glamma was out for his afternoon consitutional at the pub so here I am back with two massive lumps of meat and arms down to my ankles after carrying them from the bus stop. never again.
kitty Gorgeous
Lovely children Kitty. Don't stop the photos
I've just uploaded a couple of photos - one of big boy Bertie and one of Persie showing her hair. We are all amazed as 'our' babies are usually blond and baldish 
They are number 3 and 4 on my profile (that's confusing too) I promise to stop now!!
Glass that's a great photo - and it's lovely that you're so involved in your grandchildren's lives. Bet you were glowing with pride.
My daughter has been brilliant at including me in her three year old's activities and I know will do the same for the little one. She's very sad for her nephew and nieces who don't have me in their lives, so makes a very special effort to include me in her own children's - and I relish it!
Oh, how lovely, glass. I would have been weeping with pride. Well done, your grandson - smashing photo
I am very lucky anno to be included in their school lives, I do all the school dropps and spend the majority of my day doing one activity or another. I do feel for all the Grans who for one reason or another miss out on these milestones.
DGS was unaware until his name was read out that he had been choosen, but we were forewarned to attend assembly. 
glass well done to him.
Thank you butty & Bags. Think we need something bags when we have a Granny brag.
glass We need a winner's cup emoticon!
Fabulous photo, Glass. Every reason to be a Happy Granny.
I had a great day yesterday spent a couple of hours with absent and gillybob but had to curtail the visit and get back to school as DGS1 who is seven was receiving the Headmasters Award, so one very proud Grandma here! Photo uploaded onto my profile.
Immersing a wet phone in bag of salt and putting in the airing cupboard for 48 hours (if you have one) does work.
