White Goods and More




Ok yesterday I used the term “white goods” and didn’t realise that not everyone would know what I meant so to those I confused I am sorry…………….White Goods are things like Fridges, Freezers, Washing Machines, Dryer and etc……………….

Mum and I went over to see nan today as tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment just need to get some scrips and want to ask about all the pain from the reflux that they say I have, I get a lot of pain usually in my chest and through to my back it is very pain and a lot like the pain I got when I had gallstones but I don’t have my gallbladder any more so that is not the cause of the pain now. 

This morning Jessica called in to pick up Leo’s day care food and drop off her dog and asked me if I would pick Leo up this afternoon and take him back to her place and of course I said I would partly because I do not feel like having them here tonight and I feel that if I had said no she would have hung around here all day and then want to stay the night………….lol

This morning it was very over cast and even rained while we went to the nursing home although it has stopped now and it may fine up, I ended up pegging the towels on the line but I am not sure if they will dry today or not……………..when I got home from the nursing home I found a bunch of tin food sitting on my table and a not from Kathy saying they were here this is the note…………………

This afternoon I will start packing ready for when we go to New Zealand, I am so excited words cannot describe how excited I am………..I also want to get some of my Christmas decorations up just got to be in the mood to do both……………

  1. New Zealand, how great! Have you ever been there? I'd love to be able to head there someday and also to your country.
    I hope you get to feeling better.
    My daughter doesn't have her gallbladder either. She takes bile salts to help aid digestion.

  2. You will surely be well for your trip! How long does it take to get to NZ from where you are? My parents went a couple of years ago, and from here it was about a 24 hour trip.

    And thank you for enlightening me on white goods- I love learning new things!

  3. I figured out what you meant from what you said, even though my brain was saying "white goods"="sheets, pillowcases, etc."

  7. I am excited for you...to be going on a trip. I just got home from a week away, although nothing exciting like NZ.

    When are you leaving? I have been behind in reading posts for a few days so maybe you already told us and I missed it.

  8. Once upon a time in America, white goods were sheets and towels. We still have "white sales" -- bedding and towels on sale. Most people probably don't know now why it's called a white sale. I hope you have a great trip.

    Love,
    Janie
