Monday training walk done. Missed a phone call from the care home saying that Dad has put on weight and could I buy him some bigger trousers (he's not happy about it)! I was popping in to see him anyone as it's lottery ticket day. So instead of driving him down the road; he walked it. It was roughly a mile and it took him an hour, but he did it. His leg caused him no problems, he just got out of breath quite often. Plus he couldn't remember why he was on crutches. I nearly lied and agreed with his thinking that he was just getting old. But when I reminded him, he got angry all over again.

After seeing Dad, I went food shopping and finally got home after 1:30 to find Mr S in an unhelpful mood. He wouldn't help bring the shopping in as, in his words, I don't do anything all day and he had to go to work and he was in the middle of eating his lunch. Silly man. He soon got a few home truths from me!

Picked the kids up, then dinner and swimming and finally bed for them. Then house tidying for me. Not quite sure why my husband thinks I do nothing all day. But he'll soon find out that I'm no longer doing his washing when he runs out of work tops in a few days!!
