I am writing this from my new bed - at last. I am very pleased with it. The men travelled from Wales this morning to take the wrong bed away and put up the new bed - thankfully. It looks very lovely and as I do spend a lot of time in my room it is good that it is so nice. We just need to sort it out now and decide where to put things. Both Paul and I find it hard to throw things away - we are both hoarders!

We have had a lovely day. Kit and Shaun came for coffee before heading back to Stroud which was lovely. I miss seeing Kit fortnightly at dialysis. I am hoping to go to Stroud soon instead of her having to come here. Chloe and I then went into Reading for some retail therapy. I managed 4 hours which is very good (it did include lunch and quite long bus journeys as there were no trains)

Tomorrow is blood test day and hopefully see Josh before he goes back to Brighton on Friday. It was lovely to see him for 5 days but it is hard to know he is in Wokingham but not see him. I miss him. It is sad that children have to grow up and leave you. Hold onto your little ones tight.
