Interestingy Cynths - When we first got our wheelie bins we were instructed that we were not allowed to wash them ourselves because we could not put the used water into the drains :-0

There were also instructions in the local newspaper stating the same thing and that we MUST use a specialised firm of cleaners to do this job for us - they would take away the used water and dispose of it in the correctly authorised way !

I must admit though, I do do them myself in 'secret' .......SHhhhhhhh.............. Don't tell ! ;-)

Good morning and thank you for the porridge Sylvs.......much appreciated. :-D

It's quite pleasantly cool here and there is a hint of rain in the air.


Re cleaning the bins - I actually get a kick out seeing my freshly washed bins standing neatly in a row..........such a sad person I am..... :-D

Gins -- have messaged you xxxx

Cyns....it costs about £28pa to have my bins cleaned

I am too busy working to do it me sen! ;-)

Yes, I wash my own bins. Some of us ain't as minted as others.

It takes all of a couple of bowls of hot bleach water and an old mop!

Pristine they is now!!



Sheeeeeesh.....



Hope the meeting with the siblings comes up with some good ideas Linds.

Everything looked and smelled so fresh this morning :-D


There was only a slight dampness on the road at about 6 am to show there had been any rain.

Hi all
xxx



another sunny day ...........


There was RAIN last night, but it didn't start until after midnight ................ so the whole month of July is now officially recorded as a record low precipitation. The first time that the official weather station at the Airport has recorded 0 mm in July.

I did have a record of 0 mm for a July in the mid-80's at the university weather station .............. but that wasn't "official".


July usually gets between a "trace" and 5 mm.

Gins flying ants YUK

We also have a man who cleans our bins :-D

Off to play catch up again :-D

Whew been one of those days non stop :-)

Thanks everyone for your comments and hugs.

S-I-L is a nurse and is in almost constant touch with the doctor. M-I-L won't let anyone else help other than her daughter and her granddaughter (SIL's daughter)
She won't phone either of her sons its poor M who gets it all and she has ME.

The Dr is very good (has been out to the house a lot) but if she isn't taking her meds it becomes a vicious circle he is now looking at different meds etc. I am afraid it is going to be a long haul to get anything worked out.

They are both in their early 80's married for 63 years.

The thing is her personality can change almost Jeckyll and Hyde and she is depressed who wouldn't be not been over the doorstep in nearly 2 years.

Plan now is for a meeting of the siblings to try and make a plan if you know what I mean :-(

You wash your bins? We have a man who does that......

Flying ants :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

I hate flying ants Gins.......I can remember, many years ago, going up to the bedroom and the window looked like a lace curtain.....it was absolutely heaving with the things.


Shudders......yuk yuk yuk


Very busy morning but went for a nice walk along the canal bank.......we go as soon as OH's meds kick in, even if it means me 'downing tools' to do so.

Came back and finished off and then washed out the bins 'cos it's 'binday'.

Spent all afternoon upstairs on the desktop playing around with things to do with the Wedding Fair we are having later in the year. Quite enjoyed it really - rfound it rather theraputic and, at least I was sitting down!! :-D

Ey Up~~~~~

I did grab those eggs Dea, on my way out to work <3

It's been really hot today and I was met coming out of work to a mass of flying ants.........big buggers they were :-0

Good morning all..and thank you for the porridge Dea :-D


I have been up for nearly two hours but had to take OH for his annual bloods - including a fasting test about 7.30am. We have a 'walk-in' area where you can just go as and when. Usually, at that time it's not too busy but there were a few there this morning.

Plus, we have extensive sewer works going on further down our main road which causes a build up of traffic.


Linds, it may be time for your OH to go over his father's head and ask the doctor for advice. If his father were to be taken ill, who would care for his wife then? There are ways and means of getting round it - honest injun! Meanwhile ((hugs)) for what is an unenviable situation....... <3


Off for a swift catch up on here and then some housework....... ;-)

Good morning Ginns :-) (and everyone else when you arrive! ;-))

Poached eggs on crumpets for you Ginns - porridge for Cynthia and bacon butties all round for the rest of us !!!

Plus a BIG hug for Linds <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Aw Linds, that's sad to think that she feels that way.

I guess there is little you can do?


Mornin all~~~~~~

What's on the menu :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Linda


how old is she?


has the doctor been to see her at home?

Sounds like she knows what is happening and would welcome some help BJUT 'he' is not ready for that yet ???
