Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark here in Brackley but have had some overnight rain.
Housework beckons, then chiropodist ,and then my day out to Buckingham and Bicester for coffees etc.
This will probably be the last Tuesday that I travel that way, as we gain a new bus service linking the town with Bicester , but will keep my options open as well ,and can vary journey if I wish.
Mick

Oh, Gilly life must get better for you soon. Surely. Can your DD not sit with DH so you can go to a walk-in clinic or A&E? You can't be expected to think straight or look after your DH when you're in constant pain.

Letters from the hospital consultants/GP and your dentist would surely see you right with Companies House? As Mumofmadboys says it must happen sometimes, and if anyone has had extenuating circumstances, it's you.

mumofmadboys Tue 07-Jan-20 17:30:39

Gilly can you let Companies house or whoever it is know the circumstances of why your accounts are late? It must happen from time to time and maybe along with a sick note or evidence of illness of DH they can grant you extra time. I hope so

Oh gillybob you’re still up to your eyes in it aren’t you?

As JE said, as far as your husband is concerned he’s come a long way. Which is pretty darn brilliant.

Hope you get your urgent GP appointment later today. This is your next priority.

Once you are pain free and in a better place you can take on CH. There was no way you could foresee a family crisis. x

GrannyGravy13 Tue 07-Jan-20 14:09:15

gillybob sorry to hear you are still suffering with your tooth, totally get what you are saying about CH angry

Congratulations Mythbirtthedragon a new grandchild, such a joy thanks

I was trying to think of some comforting words gillybob but I think jennifereccles has put my thoughts into words too.
A kind post je

NannyJan53 Tue 07-Jan-20 13:56:41

gilly I am so angry on your behalf, it is almost like nobody is taking notice or even listening! Sending virtual hugs to you, this surely will be resolved soon!

JenniferEccles Tue 07-Jan-20 13:52:02

I know life seems pretty grim at the moment gillybob but just think about how far you have come.

A couple of months ago your DH was in a coma and there must have been times when you feared he wouldn’t make it, yet now here he is at home slowly recovering.

I can completely understand why you feel very down, but that was definitely a huge worry removed.

Good luck with getting that blasted tooth sorted, and I hope there is better news soon re your business.

Good afternoon. I am so late but today has been hectic so far as I have various checkups this week. Am going to sit down now quietly for the rest of the day as the last three weeks have been full on. It has been lovely seeing the close and extended family and we had some particularly happy days and special meals together, however my GN user name is definitely the right one. The rest of the family don’t seem to have realised that I am not performing as if I am 35 any more and I have decided to take that as a compliment .... for now. I have not had time to read through all the days of missed posts so congratulations on the new babies and commiserations to gillybob and sending positive vibes that the GP will acknowledge how much you need to be referred ASAP. I am also wondering if you qualify for carer’s allowance as you are looking after your DH. I don’t have to take down decorations as my DS did not arrive until after Christmas or take them out of the loft. The tree is outside and the lights are artfully draped to counteract the dark clouds and rain. Wishing you all a happy new year.

Wonderful news Mythbirt congratulations. My two DGC were born in a water bath in Lewisham hospital. It was incredibly civilised - they even had two beds in the room so my DS could stay the night.

A very late good morning from the NE coast . Well what can I say about yesterday ?

Went to see Orthodontist at different practise yesterday who said that she didn’t think pulling the tooth would even help at this late stage . Said she suspects acute maxillo/ sinus infection ( it’s very swollen again ) and advised to go through GP to get urgent referral to see a specialist . Have to book GP appointments online and wait for call/email so waiting now as we speak . I have finished all the antibiotics and it’s throbbing like mad now. The swelling is creeping up my face as it did before . If I don’t get a call soon I will probs have to go to A&E . Just how I do that I don’t know .

Been to GP app with DH this morning (wouldn’t let me make an app for myself while I was there despite acknowledging my swollen face ) insisted had to go through the Ask my GP website . GP has changed DH’s BP meds back to the ones he was in prior to ICU . Has arranged for blood tests and said she cannot give him antibiotics for his chest/ cold ???? Said to go back if he gets worse .

Spoke to accountant and put him in the picture . Apparently I Missed the filing deadline at companies house ( end Nov) so waiting fine ( or worse ) . Having urgent meeting next week . Past caring to be honest. Tried explaining circumstances to CH but don’t think they could care less . Much like all government departments small businesses are just treat like sh*t on their shoes .

Feeling pretty rotten mentally and physically . Another great start to another wonderful year .

Sorry for another long drawn out moan . Who knows One day I might be able to post something happy or positive ?

Love to all and kind thoughts to all those suffering ill health or feeling sad . Wishing us all some much needed sunshine

Good morning from east London, cloudy, dry and relatively mild. Feel I haven’t stopped this morning since waking up GD and doing the school run. Missed my tennis yesterday for what as they used to say at school is ‘the best of domestic reasons’. DD texted at 9am saying ‘I think it’s going to be today’ so the machinery swung into action. As GD was on an insert day, DP dropped me off and took her back to ours while I stayed with DD and her DP sashaying around the house, pacing the floor, rubbing her back etc. We went to the hospital just after 3pm and GD2 was born, as her mum wanted, in a water delivery, one of the most gracious things I’ve ever seen, just before 5pm. We’ll be taking GD1 to visit after school and hopefully DD will be home by this evening. A happy day even if the carpets didn’t get fitted. Hope you all have a reasonable day today.

Kalu Tue 07-Jan-20 11:19:15

Good to hear you are feeling a bit better Susan56.

I made a large pot of chicken soup yesterday hoping it would whet DH’s appetite as he isn’t faring too well. He enjoyed two bowls?. My friend who is Jewish tells me this particular soup is know as Jewish Penicillin. More crossed fingers?

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.A dull and windy day.
Am feeling better each day but DH still quite unwell although he is eating now which is a good sign??We both have antibiotics as been 3 weeks and dr thought it was worth a try so again??
Congratulations on the new arrival Beechnut.
Ellan,hope you start to improve soon and good to hear glammananna came to visit you.Kalu hope you are feeling better.
Good wishes to all unwell,corner glad you are improving and maw look after yourself.

I'm quite new - left the odd post on other threads but this one always seems so lovely and friendly. So I just want to say hello and send my best wishes to all of you who are struggling atm x

Good Morning All x
A bit darker than usual this morning, gone are the lovely sunny mornings sad in fact I can see spots of rain on the window but it's not cold though.

I think this heavy cold is easing ( I hope ) but still choking every now and again. It's been really awful, 8 days of it now. Appetite is a bit hit and miss as I'm getting waves of hunger and nausea. Years ago the chemist would have mixed a bottle of something by way of a tonic ( Parish's Food )

Had a lovely surprise visit from one of our GN friends yesterday. It was lovely to see her. If you all remember, Glammananna lost her DH suddenly before Christmas. I was so pleased to see her out and about.
Glad I'd half tidied up after taking the tree down. smile

I've done a small shopping list so I must stick to it as I don't want any more than I've written down----I get carried away, a resolution, perhaps ? We'll see.

Hope everyone with coughs/colds are starting to pick up and others who aren't so grand hope things improve. It's not nice being out of sorts.
Also hope the day went okay for Gillybob xx as well as for Mr G too.
Others who have appointments let's hope the outcome is good.

Mapleleaf Tue 07-Jan-20 10:33:28

Morning all,

A rather dull and slightly breezy morning here. It's forecast to get breezier as the day progresses.

Not a lot planned for today though I might see my friend later for a cuppa and chat if she's free. In the meantime, I've a pile of ironing to do and the bedding to change.

Hope gilly has got her tooth sorted now.

Have a good day everyone, and welcome to the GM thread, Glambat.
