We met at the supermarket and then kept creating traffic jams.. Oops lol. Then we brought chicken rolls and coleslaw home had lunch, Lorraine went on her way and Di and I did two oppies.

I got a dish draining rack, Yay its like new. I hated putting washed dishes on the bench, a another centerpiece/tray for the coffee table.. a Black cardy and a light grey one with a hoodie. But both with long sleeves but nice and light.

But my spoil were two large serving platters the same Pohutukawa decoration as my two tiered cake stand and a teapot and cup set. Originally from Stevens or Farmers, but I've never brought any of them new.

Ive been thinking about having Dianne, Lorraine, David and Caron around before Christmas so they will be perfect.

Her Hair is starting to drop. But she said they had fun with the wig lady yesterday. Who advised the artificial ones are far better to control and she found one close to how her hair is today. So that's good.

Will be up early tomorrow as I have to be at hers around 7am, cos the taxi will arrive around 7-30am.

I've often wondered about Harum pants.. I imagine they are totally comfortable.

That wind is cold but the hospital warm.  Well it was an education being in where they do the chemo. I think Di had 5 bags of stuff in all The chemo part only taking 18 minutes. She had a little pain in the wrist hand where the lure was but otherwise flue through. ate lunch with no troubles..

There were 9 people having it done and the nurses were continuously on their feet keeping up with all the bottles and timers. and as one left the next came in.

She said having me talk with her and keeping her distracted helped so I will go whenever she wants me to.

I didn't stay when we got back I told her to go in and rest a bit.

Wow I didn't know we had to do clexane for a colonoscopy KM. My dr wants me to have one.. I dont know why and for some reason it annoys me I have never had any trouble in that department apart from when I take big pain meds. Ill be phoning them on Monday and telling them I will make an appointment after I have spoken to my Dr.  I dont know why he wants me to do it. We have never discussed it.

Picked up the egg beater for Gayle and dropped it off. Its a good solid one. And the sneaky madam had got me a snuggly hoodie is what Im calling it.. Its long, it actually reaches the floor lol.. but it has huge pockets on the front and a hoodie and long sleeves.

She had a pretty green chenille blanket she had crochet on the table. She said you have a choice, you an have that one or wait a little while for a red one which will be bigger.. Of course I said the red lol..

Oddly no one has ever given me a crochet blanket and its something Ive always wanted. Something that someone has put their love and care into.

So Im feeling very spoilt.

Had LFT / KFC for lunch it was so good. So No cooking for me tonight.. Ill have fruit most likely and if Im peckish Ill have  some Vogal's Toast. Haven't had any in years so Di gave me a few slices of hers yesterday.

Ill have a quick play on here then spend some time with my girl

Popeye, did you do the bowel screening test when you turned 60? Hubby just got the info in the mail that he will be getting the testing kit in a couple of weeks. If so, maybe something showed up on the test?

Got my jobs done and my new platters put in a  safe place. Should only move if there is a massive earthquake and even then they are well protected.

Dianne is having a not too happy day. Feels ok. But its the anniversary of her son passing today, and cos of everything that has happened this year, its got to her.
They were going to get pizzas and go to their other son but his wife has a cold so they wont risk it. her sone was born with a malformed heart , they told them to take him home and love him. He would never walk, work or do anything. Well not only  did he do all of the above but he was a good son. He had just proposed to his girlfriend, and they went to someone's birthday party. They got in their car to leave, he turned the car on and died. Just like that.

I said he will be with his Nana that he adored so try not to be too sad.

I was getting up from the PC earlier & somehow kicked the hard drive thingy...oops. no sound, no image on screen. Had to ring sweetie darling no.2 - thankfully he was ably to come straight away & worked his magic, but once again showed just how dependant I am on both computer  - & his expertise. Not that he's ever done actual study of computers; he had a mate who was one of those computer whizzes & learnt it from him.
Luckily for me!
