All lists done

Still raining
WM on last load, TD:eek: is on, I hate using it in the 'summer'
Also cleaned out the pond pump (yuk) and now my coat is wet from the rain.
TBH not too sure what to do now, :rolleyes: as I have done all my lists, want to hoover out the car but keep that for later, electric hoover and rain don't mix. Guess I'll wander around the internet for a bit.

Welcome Pauper, I love the sound of your purple cushion!
Dusty hope your headache gets better
Big hugs Kaz, you sound really stressed. I use Rescue Remedy – it comes in a spray, in drops which you can put in water and drink throughout the day, and in pastilles which you chew. I prefer the spray if I am panicing or it’s urgent to calm down, and the pastilles as a kind of “I know I am going into a stressful situation so I will take this to prevent a panic” sort of thing. HTH
Have a great time in Barcelona Blimus – don’t go round singing: “Baaaaarcelonaaaaaa!”
Greenbee, thanks for the link to the pedometer. I have 2 (they were sold as a pair) but they seem highly inaccurate and one turns off if you stay still for more than 10 seconds so you cant tell how many steps you did in the day! I’ve bought the better one and have also ordered some scales. I would like to race you to lose a stone by 11 July – so I thought I’d better get some scales! They are coming on Tuesday so I will tell you my start weight – might tell you by PM if its too horrendous!
I've sorted out a drawer in the LR, have found about 40 tissues so that will count towards my 100 things too. In fact that might take me up to 100 things - I'll just check...no, it takes me up to 136! Wow, didn't realise I'd flung so much yesterday.
I have a splitting headache again and my neck has gone completely stiff. DH has gone to move our friend alone, I couldn't lift anything anyway with my neck like this. Someone else from our congregation has kindly stepped in to help, he'll be much better at carrying her bed and bookcase down the stairs anyway.
I wish when I blow my nose it didn't come out all red. It's starting to worry me as I have had a headache for 3 days and red stuff coming out of my nose for 2 days. Its not much, so I'm sure it's nothing really.
Our neighbour has reappeared - he came home this morning. He's just been for a stroll up the road and I noticed he has wires coming out of his nose - he must have been in hospital as I thought. He's striding along like he used to, hope he is ok"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

Well guys, today I feel soooooo much better :j.
Yesterday was dreadful....the worst yet, 4 days full blown lurg, about 6 not really right......anyways by a stroke of genius, I remembered that I had a huge batch of various homeopathic remedies and a huge book on homeopathy!
So treated myself this morning and felt much better very quickly.
(Note to self, try to remember these things earlier on :rolleyes:)
Anyways, I won't go mad but will attempt a catch up on some flying jobs.
I also have a bit of a list of my own bits and pieces that needs doing so will get cracking in a mo.DFW Nerd 267. DEBT FREE 11.06.08
