and something rubbish happening to little blue
Here goes then...
My o/h as you may know had a breakdown due to lots of sh*tty stuff (which hasnt gone away, just adds to the daily sh*t!) resulting in him being to all intents and purposes agrophobic. He has had very little support from docs (and not worked in ages so you can imagine how good our finances are), and is just beginning to get around town in the car (though wont get out of the car).
At the beginning of december, he was coming to meet me and some idiot delivery van scraped the side of the car then reversed into him, smashing all the back end in. he managed to swap details and everything, and the insurance agreed to arrange repair.
we had no car for a week, then a hire (which i couldnt drive, as a 'new driver') then we were snowed in, so that was abit of a waste of time! but as the other driver hadnt reported it, we've had to pay the excess up front, on Christmas eve when we got ours back. After loads of phone calls, and bull from various places.
my father in law needs alot of care in the normal scheme of things, but the day our car was collected, he had a stroke.
he seemed to improve until just before christmas when he was very poorly so we've been up all night with him, one of has had to stay with him all of the time. despite his refusals, I called an ambulance on Boxing day and he had an operation to repair a perforated ulcer. his blood pressure is all over the place, and theyve found cysts on his kidneys. he is convinced he's going to die.
My husband cannot visit and so guess who goes?!
All this, and a poorly pig, a goat in season, an elderly dog whos missing his master, and some very very muddy chickens. and a house and animal sheds in need of repair and a bank sendin threatening letters on a regular basis
I went to give blood yesterday, just for a cuppa and a lie down!
But as a generally optimistic person, I'll shut up now and just get on with it... thanks for reading x
