    natty I hope you are going to have yourself checked out! And whats with the long list - one minute you are saying you shouldnt be overdoing it and the next you post todays list and another of exytras!!!! slow down woman and take it easy!

    well thats all my dailies done so I can start on the LR when I have had something to eat.
    toots xx

    Well my argument is I can do these things with one hand, and some of my extras will probably be carried over to other days. Plus a few I can also do while sitting on the sofa :) Although it would help if I actually got dressed..lol

    I promise I will rest now and again, but I hate being laid up. Funny thing is I don't mind resting when I'm not incapacitated but when I have to do it out of necessitity I hate it..does that make sense..lol

    Yikes that scared the wotsits out of me, don't be daft though it's not a stroke. My speech and face is fine funnily enough.

    I am having a bad time with my fibro/cfs at the moment so it is probably all related to that. I will give the doctor a ring tomorrow if it hasn't gone away and get seen then, if I can get an appointment.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon all :hello:

    I still haven't completed Unit 1, but I'm getting there. I have to keep stopping as my shoulder aches... I've got the wheatbag on it now, and I'm pretty sure its from all the typing & surfing I've been doing the past 6 months. I just wish it wasn't in such an awkward place to put a wheatbag :rotfl::rotfl: It most certainly isn't helping my typing :rolleyes: However a laugh would be had if DD could see me now... I've got the wheatbag strapped to my shoulder using one of my "posh" scarves kind of like a sash and she would just "die of embarrasment" based on things she's said lately :rotfl::rotfl:

    Wash load number 3 just finishing, so I'm going to sling the towels in on a long wash instead of putting one of the other 3 loads on as I have no idea what state DD will come home from school in. :rolleyes: Those last 3 should be able to be done tonight though ;)

    Right... off to write up about "the sorts of problems that might occur when supporting learning activities and how to deal with these" then just 2 more questions and I think I might be able to wing a "witness statement" from one of the teachers to cover the performance tasks ;) I want it done before DD comes home... so I'm shifting honest gov' I'm shifting... :wave:

    Sorry to be boring but ringing the drs tomorrow is not good enough, do it NOW.

    Like the others have said it could be a warning of something more serious!!

    Do it NOW
