Couldn't think of another title:) but no matter. Quite cokld here this weekend, Vin didn't go to Tesco on Saturday but he did go to Crosby on Sunday instead. We had been to the Co-op in Aintree on Friday after seeing Mr Butcher so had stocked up a bit there.Saturday was a cold day anyway so we stopped in a and did bits and bobs, and little Jess benefitted from us being in the house too.
Poor Jane rang up Saturday night to say she had found that her bank balance was much lower than it should be so on Sunday she was on an eight to eight long day and ussed a break to ring her bank. They checked her transactions and found some large ones totally around £750 !!! Good jpb she rang. Had her card cancelled and a new one is being sent out to her. But, the inconvenience is horrible for her. She can't pinpoint where it was done, but it's so common these days who knows. It appears that it only stopped because her card had got to the maximum. Mine waas done a couple of years ago and the bank picked up on it because it was used in Japan!!! Good job they did because it would have gone on a lot longer!! I didn't lose out neither will Jane but it must be costing the banks billions. Why aren't they doing more about it?
They never seem to catch anybody either. So that is two mambers of our family of three who have been done for the same thing.
District nurse this morning a really nice very efficient and good one. Did a great job of the bandages. Hopefully the feet are getting there and I should be measured for "proper" shoes soon.

Tiptoe Through The....
Tulips! Well maybe not quite just yet but getting there. Yesterday was a visit to the podiatry clinic for me, and they were extremely pleased with the state of the feet and how they were healing. I have another appointment at Aintree with Mr. Butcher tomorrow and I think he will be a happy bunny when he sees the results of his operation.
Most of yesterday was taken up with the appointment which was at 2.O'clock so by the time you get back the afternoon is gone.
Today has been a sort of free day but we were waiting for a delivery from Bullens which actually came at lunchtime. Just as Vin was sitting down to eat his soup the doorbell went, isn't that typicl.!
Little Jess has just come upstairs to see me which is quite uunusual for her, she usually prefers to stay with Vin.
She looks just like this.

Going Nowhere!
We were going to go out today but in the event we were both comfy in the bed and so didn't get up till later. One of the benefits of being retired. :) :)
Since neither of us really fancied going out, and didn't quite know how the weather was going to go we decided to stop in instead. Vin can always find bits and pieces to do, and I like messing about on the computer catching up with some of the forums, we can find stuff to do.
Last night Vin put a collar on Jess. All of our cats have had collars on in the past, I always think it makes them look more like part of the family. He has tried her in the past but she has resisted trying to get them off. Last night he put it on her neck and she was going at it again so he started to play with her to distract her and it worked! She totally forgot it was on and settled in her basket without any trouble. Still had it on this morning so that is great. She is now the proud owner of a sweet little black and white collar.
Finding a nice warm spot to sit in.

Blowy and Rainy. !
Not a nice day today at all, been dark and blowy all day with a good amount of drizzle to boot.
Wehad quite a busy start to the week with two hospital appointments . Monday we went to the Podiatry clinic early afternoon. That went well and they and the Dr were pleased with the way the feet were going. Back there next Wednesday. I had a prescription for some hydrocortisone cream for one of my legs which is very itchy. That takes an age because he had to go to the pharmacy, so we ended up having our sandwiches in front of the hospital before he went in to collect the prescription. Then home. Only snag was that when we were nearly there there was an accident in Ince Woods which caused the most horrendous queues. We were in one from Holy Family school right up to Little Crosby Church which is a fair way only moving one car at a time. Still we got home eventually. Little Jess was quite happy in her basket and didn't look like she had moved much at all.
Yesterday we had an appointment at Southport Which was excellent all went well and the Dr there discharged me from thereso that's me finishedd with Southport I hope.

Twelth Night..
Gosh that has come round quickly! Time to take the decorations down. The house looks so incredibly bare now with them all gone. Poor Vin has had to get everything down from the "exploding" cupboard we call it because it is a cupboard over the wardrobes that is full to bursting with the decorations and one of the trees. I helped a little bit by putting the decorations in the right aboxes but Vin won't let me move around too much so that prohibits me from taking anything else down. Maybe this year. We have both said that we would try and get them up earlier next Christmas so you get longer with them.
Little Jess has not been worried abbout all the movement and moving of things at all. She has been asleep in her basket on the sofa just getting down for a feed or a bit of a play with her new daddy!. At one point I saw her absolutely race through the middle room and the door to the hall. I said to Vin what were you doing to her? he said oh just playing a game. What a pair.

Cold Today!
Cold today indeed. We hadn't planned to go out anywhere because we were waiting in for the District nurse to come and dress my feet. You never know what time they are coming so you cannot plan to go anywhere anyway. Today she came at twelve o'clock, and she rang up first because she didn't now which our house was. Probably because our houses have names not numbers. Anyway she was nice and made a good job of them so sorted till Monday when we go to Podiatry. I think they will be quite pleased with the way they are going.
Decorations down tomorrow so that hate doing that, the house looks so bare when they have gone.
I love our decorations, we have built up some really nice ones over the years.
Little Jess still playing, probably waiting for Daddy to chase her. or to trip me up.

Posh Shop!
Out today for a change! it was actually a bit of an enforced outing because the night before last we were watching the television and one of my hearing aids just died. No sound at all, nothing. Vin put new batteries in in case it was a dud abattery but no joy at all. Completely dead. Yesterday being a bank holiday we had to wait till today to do anything about it so it meant a trip to Specsavers to hand it in. Fortunately it is covered by warranty so that was ok. Just wait and see now! Meanwhile I have my old one in which is awful in comparison so I hope they sort it out soon.
While we were parked in Waitrose car park, we went in to do a bit of shopping and get the free coffees of course and the paper. Vin got me some wheels and the trolley that fastens on to them so it was easy to get round. We got some top up veggies, biscuits and other things that we saw and fancied. It is very much a shop for that for us really.
Little Jess is absolutely beautiful. She has really taken to Vin and adores him. She plays quite a lot with him,chasing him up and down the stairs and playing with the toy that Jane bought her for Christmas. She totally loves that and is very clever at getting the biscuits out.
Isn't she beautiful. XXX
