    It looks like it's turning out that way jackywhizz - it would be a shame not to call in at as many people as I could. I could do a blog about it all then turn it into a travel book!
    I really like that idea, do it! Please...

    Hugs Jo and Sarah and Penny and Helen, hope you have more energy later

    Big hugs Natty and thanks to you and Soappie and SGT and Helen for the reminder to get my prescription

    Embb, oh you mean spayed! LOL! I should have realised that’s what you meant! :rotfl:

    Sianne hope the interview goes well

    Me, I didn’t notice your dd had come on here until you said! Don’t worry about it

    Penguin, just seen your post from last thread about your DS, big hugs to you, sounds like you’ve got a lot to deal with, hope the new school helps you all

    Right, I'd better get dressed and go down to apply for my prescription, have to pay 50p to park, run into doctors, write on a piece of paper and run back to car, that always annoys me!

    Can you not ring for a repeat? If not what about parking further away where you don't have to pay, and walking, that way you will get more steps done :)

    Phew - well in my HHC, that turned into nearly an hour.. I cleaned and put new cat litter in the two litter trays, hoovered out in the porch - mainly because I spilt the cat litter out there..oops!! I also threw away two empty cat litter bags that had been sitting out there for a couple of days. I was hoping that DH was going to throw them away and hoover up the cat litter but I was wrong - I had to do it, typical man!! I also hung out the washing on the line and put a teatowel boil wash on. And while I had the hose and attachment out of the Dyson I hoovered behind the t.v. unit, this is too big to move so unfortunately it only gets hoovered once a month :eek: I washed up two cups, and quickly swished down the kitchen worktops. I also changed the clock on the cooker, this has been an hour behind since March :rolleyes: And while I was upstairs I threw away all the empty boxes that had been cluttering in the toilet and changed the bin liner.

    You know I reakon my DH walks around with his eyes shut as these boxes were in plain view of him and he still didn't throw them away. All he had to do was put them in the huge box in the spare bedroom, that is going to be used for the recycling. Aaaah!!

    I'm now sitting down with a cup of tea and a yoghurt :)

    rosepink - our surgery allows us to request repeat prescriptions online. they don't advertise the service much, I only found out when a friend told me - so maybe your surgery has the same option. Also we can request a repeat at a local pharmacy and get the prescription delivered back to the pharmacy too - takes a few days longer but much more convenient.
