    So far today I've put away dry washing, put out wet washing, done some really yuck washing up which took ages, and cleaned the front of all the units and appliances.
    I'm reallly tired today and not in the mood for flying. Got to try tho, have visitors the next few days and one of them is quite rude and bound to tell me off for all the mess, so I really need to make sure it is clean and tidy before her visit. She's coming for lunch on Friday so have a while to get it done, but need to do as much as poss today! I also need to work out what I'm going to feed her. Ham or cheese sandwiches seems quite boring.
    Emily the info on all the resources for blind people is great! Thanks for posting it, I bet that will really help Mudbath

    Kaz hugs for you and OH about his job. That’s really nasty and I hope it all gets sorted out

    Mozzy sounds like you had a fun day yesterday

    Hugs FFPrincess, you take it easy if you are feeling poorly and don’t worry about the walking or flying. Concentrate on getting lots of rest and eating healthily. PM me if you want a chat. I noticed that you walked yesterday, well done!

    Toots, please try to rest. I know it’s hard with your place such a mess with all the building work, but you need to rest and not try to do too much. You seem quite tired and you have a few treatments left to go, take it easy. NO FLYING THAT’S AN ORDER! Or at least do things that you can do sitting down!
