Morning everyone

Pigpen I hope you feel better today-I can't get on without you. As for your legs...now you have to keep an open mind see-when my legs are popping and the diclofenac is not enough, I use Keratex cooling gel. It is a cooling gel that breeders use on the horses after runs. I was put onto it by a friend in SA who studied at Onderstepoort(the animal uni).
I didn't believe her either but I tried a tiny bit and was hooked-and its not expensive either:)

Thanks for all the mentions re cutting down, I'm very pleased with myself.
Since I did the whole house yesterday, Im not going to do a PP list today, instead...I'm going to do my own list of things that need buying in etc for this evening

• Wash last nights dishes
• Wipe kitchen counters
• Sweep kitchen and [STRIKE]lounge[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Make beds[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]S&S bathroom[/STRIKE]
