Had my test (tummy biopsy) at the hospital yesterday and it was so very painfull I came home, took a heap of painkillers and was in bed by 9pm!! This morning I am ok though, and I am just glad its all done with, and hope I dont have to go back to hospital again.
The building on the conservatory has started in earnest now and my lovely garden resembles a builders yard at he moment!! Today the builders have had a break as the concrete foundations need to set, but it should be finished earlier next week (I hope)...and even then we have to wait six weeks before we get the floor tiled!! I have decided on a black and white chess board pattern!! Partly because it will be less costly than my original mosaic idea, and partly because I would like a Masonic feel to it. Derek has agreed, but we still have to find a decent tiler to do it for us, but at least we have 6 weeks to find someone!
Spent this morning cleaning out the spa and refilling it...but Derek recons I should leave it empty for 6 weeks as it will be difficult to empty and refill once the conservatory is up. Like HELL!!!! I am certainly not going to go six whole weeks without my evening hot bubble session!! *digs in heels defiantly* So I have refilled it, cleaned the filter and now its heating again (will add chlorine later too) but will take over a day to come up to 40 degrees. When the time comes I can compleatly drain it and with the help of some neighbours, haul it about 15 feet into the conservatory. I am still hoping to get a waterproof tv for in there too, but Derek sees this as a costly enterprise so I will just have to order one over the net and sneak it onto my credit card!! I can deal with Derek's wrath with my special leek, bacon and potato bake with roast cheese topping! (his favorite) or I will never hear the last of it! It was his birthday yesterday (54) so I cooked us an early evening dinner to celebrate, but was really not feeling too good because of the dull ach in my tummy where the Doctor took my biopsy from. Anyway its our holiday soon, and fingers crossed my ulcer wont bother me! I have planned lots of "seeing and doing" while we are in Dorset and being bothered by this bloody ulcer is certainly not on my list!!
That about it for now!
Sirius needs a good brushing and I must get dinner ready for his lordship!!! Tonight (and because the spa wont yet be hot enough) I am going to have a long soak in the bath and have a jacket potato and sour cream and chives for supper (ulcer friendly) watch Corrie and have another early night!!

back soon x
