Today...what have you been up to? [4] (2 Viewers)

[Joan]

Thanks Bill, he got home about 4 in the afternoon, completely shattered due to lack of food and sleep. He's feeling a lot better today after getting some sleep and food, he's sitting here going through his medication as he's got to find out what they include to find out if it's something the DVLA need to know about but so far everything is OK so it looks as if he's not taking anything that will stop him being able to drive again.

He'll then have to let his insurance know he has a pacemaker, he still has to wait a couple of weeks before he can drive although some info says he only has to wait a week.

Thought I aught to think about making it seem like Christmas here so I'm putting a few of my twinkly decorations around. I'm not putting the tree up, that's a bit too much at present for me to tackle but as long as there are some twinkling lights about I feel better and John is feeling better every day, although he has pain and a tightening feeling around the wound site but he was told to expect that.

He was fascinated watching the op on the screen and he said joining in with the banter was brilliant, at one point the surgeon said "we're on fire John" he set a record for the op, it usually takes about 40 minutes to do but he did it in 25 minutes.

Ok off to have a shower and wash my hair will look in later to see if I'm still on my own or not.

I'm glad things are returning to "normal" there. I'm looking forward to getting the surgery and the inevitable follow up stuff over with so I can return to my warm rut, lol.

[Joan]

I bet you are, you know we're all here for you xx

The letter came today with John's appointment for his after surgery checkup, 26th January the day after his 69th birthday.:smiley:

My Mom and middle brother are both 1/25 as well

[Joan]

What a coincidence, hubby will say it's a good time for a birthday.

 

[A Guy]

Except one year my Mom spent her birthday in the hospital

A Guy

 

[Joan]

That's not nice, nobody should have to spend their birthday in hospital. I don't about with adults but with kids they'd make a big fuss of them I'm sure to try and make it better for them away from home.

 

[A Guy]

Well, she was having my brother, so I'm sure they made a fuss over her

A Guy

 

[Joan]

Oh you evil devil you thought you meant she was ill.

She'd definitely be fussed over in that case and think it was worth it.

 

[A Guy]

Well I did say my Mom and middle brother are both 1/25 as well

A Guy

 

[Angie]

Lol, So the banter continues with you two! I wondered what on earth 1/25 was until I realised you were on about the date Bill!

@Joan, so glad that Joan...lol John crikey has had his pacemaker fitted and things are getting a little normal your way. Now just to sort Bill out and we shall all be able to start the New Year better than it ended for all of us.....Amen to that!

On a happy note I get one of my ovens replaced today! Whoop whoop! The double oven is being replaced today with a new Bosch one, we have paid the difference for the upgrade and are still awaiting confirmation of what they are going to do with my other one. But at least for now we have one working oven for Christmas and it has proper dials and everything! :clapping: kay:

We are now also waiting for the Smart meter guys to arrive, the last time they came they said they couldn't fit the meter so we had to have it re-booked today. We are also waiting on a delivery that was booked and paid for on a before 1pm today and according to the tracking it hasn't even been sent out yet! It's a present for Han and she finished school at 1pm so we are going to have to try and hide it when it eventually arrives!

 

[Joan]

Definitely agree with you on the starting the new year on a healthier note for us all.

Sounds as if things are looking up for you with regards the house finishing, I expect a photo when it's all installed.

I can't have a Smart Meter here, well not yet anyway, but e-on have put me on the list to let me know when I can. It's a good job our Warm Home payment came through from e-on before John got taken into hospital at least it means we have electricity to keep us going till he can start going to the shop again, that's the only problem when you've got a prepayment meter and the shop in the village shuts down.

Hope you got the present OK and managed to hide it from Han. :worried:
Oh nearly forgot, is your John back in the good books.

 

[A Guy]

I had our gas/electric provider come to my door one day saying my meter wasn't sending info and needed to be replaced, but they couldn't get in to where it was. They just send an average bill, and correct it either way once it's fixed.

Glad you got your oven sorted Angie. Not like you bake or anything. John has been quiet lately, assumed he's at the window watching for Santa

Have a great Xmas ladies. It's a pleasure conversing with you throughout the year

A Guy

 

[Joan]

Same back to you Bill, I'll be here every day as usual, don't know what time but I'll be here at some point, so behave yourself.

 

[A Guy]

Lol, I'll be here until Wed. Then I'll go quiet until Friday/Saturday/Sunday depending on how it goes

A Guy

 

[Joan]

We'll be here waiting for you, I hate to think of all those obscure words you'll be thinking up to torment us with when you come back.

 

[A Guy]

Indubitably

A Guy

 

[Joan]

Stop it you've not gone yet. Right better go and get on with the next stage of Christmas dinner, we're having it about 2pm. I have to keep reminding myself it's Monday not Sunday cooking this sort of dinner.

 

[Angie]

I know he edumecates me, I have to Google the last letter game all the time and then end up with all the y words!

So no meter guys turned up so that shall be a reduction on the bill when they finally do arrive to fit it, the present came but when I went to wrap it I opened the amazon box and the microphone didn't have an inner box so I had to re stick it back together! John's still so far on the naughty list because he snored all night and I only had 3 hrs sleep, then to top it off my school alarm went off this morning as I was trying to get back to sleep and then Han for the first time in History set an alarm and plonked herself on my bed at an un-godly hour waiting to open presents!

On a good note (yes there is one of these) I have used the oven full on now for past two days:clapping:, we have grilled bacon, made roasters, done the turkey, made Lasagne then pizza so it's definitely bedded in.

@Bill, Yeah Bill currently missing my baking as the cake oven still charcoals everything. I could have done with a piece of cake today too! Hopefully by the New Year that one will be exchanged and then it will be all systems go.

I have given up on what day it is Joan, unless I have a reminder in my phone I have no idea.

Hope you guys have had a lovely Christmas, off to watch some episodes of Friends now with Han. Apparently she's been hiding in the same position for the past 10 mins whilst I've popped on here to speak to you guys!
