Well, the good news is that Numbers 2 and 5 haven't been needed as the doctor decided that as his white cell count had dropped into single figures there might not be any need for him to stay in hospital each time the dose is doubled. So I didn't have to take him up to hospital on Tuesday and he is just driving himself up for blood tests two or three times a week. IF the blood results show he needs a blood transfusion they will do it the same day and he will be able to drive home again later. IF they decide to keep him in we will have to sort someone to take me to Ipswich to collect the car.
For the rest..........Green - done, orange started or not needed for a few weeks, and red means cancelled.

- Collecting Colin from hospital on Thursday, Friday or Saturday - not helpful for planning!

- Contact Borough Council to get a bit of a refund of April Council tax at number 9
- Going to the library van next Thursday

Other things done which were not on the original list include vegetable gardening, selling books on Ziffit, unpacking and hanging some pictures. One more side of the greenhouse was cleaned and treated - 2 left to do.Our Tax forms have come and need filling in and there are still lots of books to unpack, although I'm still waiting for another bookcase to arrive.
I'm also waiting for asparagus crowns and need to sow more seeds as the weather warms.
