Usually he's hard to get hold of, but he has texted me back already.

That's good!

I'm glad you managed to get a hold of your CPN Tamo.

Any progress on moving back to the ward Beckie?

Has anyone got snow? There's quite a bit here and it's continuing to fall. The bins haven't been emptied so far.

Apparently they are picking me up soon.
The ward said they won't have a driver after 5pm so fingers crossed they'll come before then!!!

I'm on the 4th floor and the windows are obscured but i don't think there is snow. Lots of wind but also sunny!

I'll keep my brain fingers crossed for you.

I hope everything is ok when you get back to the ward and you can settle.

It was snowing here Lindsay. It's also very cold here too.

I am back on the ward!
But have to see a doctor now for some reason

Apparently it did snow here earlier!

No snow here.

I have showered and put on clean clothes!
Also doing some washing
Feels good!
Oh and I've ordered a subway salad :)

Well done. I've never had a subway. What flavour is your salad?

I used to like subway subs. Yum.

No snow here but we did have an almighty hail shower this afternoon and thunder.

Thanks :)
I had turkey and ham with lettuce, spinach, tomato,sweetcorn and olives and cheese. With garlic aioli as a dressing.
Delicious! And filling!

Thunder?!

Mmmm yum. Except the olives. What is garlic aoili?

And yep, a massive roll of thunder. Then it was sunny and blue skies minutes later.

Not actually sure. I had it all the time in spain and loved it! Think it's basically garlic mayo

Ah British weather never disappoints

Morning everyone
I slept in until 9 this morning
Which unfortunately means i can't make a coffee until the dining room has been mopped etc. After breakfast!

Hope they've finishing mopping by now.

I really really want an Italian BMT from Subway...

They have!
They are now mopping the corridors which is super annoying but the path to the dining room was clear!
They get really annoyed when you walk over where they're mopping. But sometimes it can't be helped.

Get one!!!

Our wards are always clean, the domestic staff are very hardworking. If they can they leave cleaning your room until you have left, then they do it.

I never leave my room lol
But I do leave so they can clean.
I'll just go and make a coffee and loiter a bit.

Sounds good, I hope people aren't too annoying!

People are always annoying! Lol
My room is now clean!

Yay!

I need to put my washing in the dryer.

The cleaners in my ward come in even if people are sleeping. Then one day a week they do a deep clean where we all have to leave the dorm. I get up really early and dress so I'm not in my pjs and being woken up by the cleaner or the staff.

Did you put your washing in the dryer yet Tamo? I have a washer dryer combo and I don't know where the steam goes which worries me because it might blow up or there might be something I'm supposed to be cleaning so it doesn't get blocked. The instruction booklet isn't helpful.

Lindsay, I imagine it drains out the same place the washing water does. It won't break, don't worry.

I have the same worries about mine!

My tumble drier isn't hooked up to a drain so I have to manually empty it after each use. You'd know by now if you were meant to be doing something!

True!

I did eventually put it in the dryer.

Good :)

Morning guys

Good morning. How are you?

I'm ok thanks
Got my friend visiting today :)

How are you?

That's nice. I am ok, might shower later.

Sounds good

I'm clean :)

Well done

I hope you enjoy your time with your friend Beckie. Give you a bit of a break.

Well done for showering Tamo. Are you going out or doing anything today?

I am watching Homes Under the Hammer Beckie and they have a house in your town.

Thanks lindsay

Ooooh! I'm sure that will be the talk of the local fb page Dawn! Lol

I was bidding on it :tongue2:

How are you all this evening?

Morning everyone!

Hiya :) how are you getting on?

I'm ok. Brain feels a bit fuzzy.

How are you?

Do you know the cause of the fuzziness? Try to take care of yourself.

I am ok. I'm going to walk back from Mass with my brother this evening. Dad's not coming because he's in hospital for a knee replacement.

Not sure. Maybe the hit to the head yesterday?

Sounds good.
Hope your dad is ok

He says it's very sore.

Have you told any staff about the fuzziness?

I bet

No point.
I'm annoyed with them anyway.
I knocked on the office door and was ignored. 2 other people knocked straight after me and they were answered within seconds :plain:
And by the time i actually got to talk to someone it was 'protected mealtime' so they wouldn't let me get my washing out of the dryer.

Some ward rules and staff in general can be very annoying. Look after yourself though and keep trying to talk to the staff if you need to.

I hope you enjoy Mass Tamo and your Dad's knee replacement goes well.

I'm just in a bad mood now lol
And don't want to talk to anyone

How are you lindsay?
