Delivery day

Well that was the worst nights sleep I have had in years, woke at 1.10.........no sleep since then. Its doubtful I will get a Nana nap either.

Expecting the cooker during the day, and also a telephone engineer which could cost me £65 and cracker the budget for this month.

Yesterday I could not find the instruction book to the cooker, search high and low for it, this morning I remembered where it might be, and sure enough there it was, so I will have to drop it off at the manse.

I spoke to DB last night, he had one attack yesterday, but mild....they had found him a book to read, so he was happy. I will ring later this morning and see what sort of a night he had. He is off his blood thinners until he has had his pacemaker put in.

My cleaner came yesterday afternoon, dropped in some apples for me, so I have fruit to last until the delivery next week.

Car is in the garage, on the way home the coil  warning light started flashing, so I dropped it round, he will let me know when he has had a chance to sort it. Luckily we have a separate pot for car related things, I transfer money each month.

Spoke to the Dr on Tuesday, medication arrived yesterday, take the tablets twice a day, but have to avoid milk for two hours, apparently milk stops the medication being absorbed. So I had my breakfast cereal at 5am!!

No idea what I am going to have tonight. I will do a bacon sandwich at lunch time........will have to rake the freezer for supper. I think I may have a portion of chicken, I can do some rice with it. Usually when DB is in hospital I treat myself to a curry from Aldi...no chance this time unless I take myself in hand and drive into Melton. No use me putting it on the order from Sainsbury, its not due till Monday and DB may be home by then.

Update...... telephone engineer was here just after 8am, good job I was up, its been a very long morning. We need a new phone, he thinks the problem is the age of the phone, I must admit we have had it a long time, I think I bought it when we were in the cottage in Scotland. I might look at ditching the landline and just using the mobiles........I might have to get DB a new one, his is very small and he has a problem with dialing numbers......will have to have a discussion when he gets home. Not doing anything about it now.

Spoke to DB, they have him out of bed, he has seen the consultant again this morning still no news about his procedure.

Driver phoned re delivery, any time between 11.30 and 3.30, so no chance of a nap, must admit I am flagging a bit, might go to bed early tonight.
