Another Week

Another week has again just flown by. Not much happen until Wednesday when I found myself with a very painful left elbow even to touch, now I'm not a clumsy person but it's not unusual for me to knock my elbows and knees in the course of a week, my excuse is that they don't make doors wide enough ....lol. A phone call to the doctors surgery advised first available appointment to be Friday morning, to cut a long story short it seems I have a condition called Golfers Elbow and I don't even play the game. I'd heard of Tennis Elbow but Golfers? seems it the opposite muscles, so it's pills and ointment for a month and then if not cleared up a cortisone injection.

Saturday was a normal day visit mum and brother Ian take him to hairdressers for haircut (he was rob, they should have paid him for the practise) and will he was in the barbers seat take mum round the supermarket an experience in itself.

Finally Sunday I managed to sort, crop and cut out my photos of the latest 4 Bad Taste Bears and add them to my web site last night.

Another week starts with the bonus of Maggi coming to visit us for a week from Friday (half term starts).

The weeks just fly by

Here we are another Blog entry and another week has just flown past. Monday was quite not a lot happened and then came Tuesday we had a appointment at the bank are we mad the way the world finances are going but we had decided to start a couple of new saving accounts nothing that would help the national debt but hey as they say from acorns oaks grow. Trouble was there we were thing in and out 15 minutes if we are lucky, 90 minutes later a few leaflets in hand and me thinking thats put paid to my mid-morning kip Grrrrrr. One of the leaflets related to next weeks appointment with the banks financial adviser ref my pension plan with another company ........ well outrage is not quite the word but within the leaflet tuck away was a small paragraph stating that for this advise and possible transfere of funds to another plan there would be a charge of between £2500.00 and £3500.00 I DON'T THINK SO, I don't give a dam how much their share value has fallen I'm not helping to get it back .... right rant over.

The rest of the week was OK until Friday the day of aunties funeral, however it was a bit different in that dear auntie had already been cremated and the church service was held with her ashes. Now I've not come across this before but to me it seemed so much better than the normal service one gets at a crematorium, therefore I've made my mind up when it's my time I want one of these and thats in noway meant to be morbid.
On the up side I got to see my favourite cousin Lynne whom I'd not seen for about 18 months and other relatives not seen in years. The down side to going was my own near death experience because of maniac drivers on the M25 one on the way to St Albans and another on the way back.
Saturday saw my normal visit to Mum and brother Ian take them out to a garden centre and then onto the supermarket and then back to their house to help by sorting the shopping etc etc.
After two days on the road I was knackered by the time I got back home so the evening was spent just chilling. Sunday morning like most households was house work and then planting a loganberry we had purchased at the garden centre hopefully there will be some nice juicy fruit next year. This afternoon / evening has been spent printing a manual for the iPod I won on ebay and just finding out the basics ... boys toys I love em.
So there you have it dear reader another week has flown by, back to work tomorrow for a rest ... lol.
