Toots, if Toxic was any kind of friend she would be bringing you things to help you cope with your treatment but give them to you on the doorstep and refuse to come in so you can rest. She should not expect you to give her any kind of hospitality!

My support worker has just left. She's helped me to clear up which was really helpful. I've tidied/decluttered/thrown away/put away everything that was on the sofa and one armchair and a bit of the floor! She washed up quite a lot of stuff and also tidied up the kitchen, so it's a lot less daunting out there for me. I reckon we must have thrown away at least 100 things between us!

Hugs FFPrincess, you need to take care of yourself. Passing out is not good - did you hurt yourself when you fell? Don't worry about the walking, you've had a lot on the last few days. I might try to go for one tomorrow, and will definately be doing some walking next week.

Hi to All

I havent caught up on all the thread yet, I did a big long post last night telling you how good i was yesterday and lost it - not once, but twice. So got really narked off with the site and the laptop and went to bed...in the huff. :rotfl:

Did super-duper-well yest - even painted a wall in the hall (oooo that rhymes) bathroom, kitchen & Littleys room ALL done, spare room nearly complete.:j

Will double check my lists later before i claim any stars though!!!

Jenny - If i were you, i would have two words for that girl and the second word is 'off'. The first word can be selected from a list but the most favourable ones would begin with 'f' or 'p'. You dont need that. Same applies to you Rosepink!

Kazmeister - I dont know how the lemon juice does because i discovered b&m in my area yesterday and they have a WHOLE range of Stardrops stuff!! I was sooooooo excited and like a kid in a sweet shop. I bought an anti-bac spray for the kitchen and stardrops glass cleaner which is absolutely fab with kitchen roll then buffed with Microfibre cloth.......all my windows are gleaming....except the kitchen.

Big squidgy hugs to toots!

Anyway am now off on a train on the way to London. Am going to catch up with my Aunt and Uncle and my baby cousin who I havent seen since May!! And then meet BF later and go to a show. Love n hugs to all who need them.

Toots what she said Toxic right enough

Glad you got some help Rosepink and good for you throwing away 100 things.
I'm not hurt, felt it coming on and sat on the floor so didn't fall down IYSWIM. Just a combination of all that is going on. If I stress I can't eat as it makes me gag. So as I say self inflicted trying hard today though. Off for a look at my OU stuff and declutter some TV in my bed (no chance of getting near the TV in the livingroom till the schools go back)

Fling things:

• 24 items from the recycling basket, 1 belt that is no longer long enough, two used tissues from under pillow.
• 7 fag ends from the ashtray in the living room. 1 empty hair conditioner bottle. 1 empty deodorant stick. 11 hairs from the bath plug hole
• 1 laddered pop sock, 1 dog chewed pencil, 1 wrapping from 12 cans of cat food, 1 crust of bread (out for the birds), 7 old timesheets, 2 redundant receipts, 1 local newspaper (from last October )

Hi,

I've been fed and watered and am almost raring to go again:rolleyes:.

HHC 12.40-1.10 anyone?

tiamai_d

I need to do a HHC to tidy what I can in the kitchen (my WM is on the blink and is sitting out so I can barely move in there) and then do a load of washing in the bath

Anyone know how easy it might be to replace a washing machine pump?

Holly, I'm in! Gives me time to wee first
