    It is surprisingly extremely quiet and not at all noticeable today. I was lucky!

    Yay - Tues and Weds done (plus 1 meditation class and shopping for clothes, plus firing off 3 complaints -

    one to ocado for the silly mare's attitude on the phone when my delivery was delayed 'you'll have to wait until Monday, just don't let your foodstuffs get so low next month' !!!!!!? And I was nice!

    One to the catalogue for levying a charge 3 days after I paid bill on time - they removed it - just this once, apparently.

    One to the local council - I'm on the list for a transfer to a disabled access property - the Occupational Therapist specifically stated a house, as all their flats have heavy security doors that I can't manage - and I got the 4th offer last week. First was for a 3rd floor flat, second for a house with 13 uneven height steps leading down from main road (felt like I was climbing down an embankment), 3rd was for house 2 miles from nearest bus stop, where toilet was in the kitchen and the OT couldn't even make it up the stairs to the front door without tripping on loose concrete. 4th was for a flat with a heavy steel door (and a train line 10ft away to the left and a pub with drugs issues 30ft to the right, but let's not be too picky here). But council insisted it was a house. Do they not know how to use Google Earth? So I also copied in local council leader with responsibility for housing, quoting his latest statement that there is no real issue with housing the disabled in this area - and one copy to his equivalent in the opposition party!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Hi all, been resting as everyone on the planet told me to.....see I can do as I'm told.;)

    Felt a bit tired anyway, I kind of forgot that lying in bed all week and then trying to move around normally may not be such a good thing, not straight away anyway.:o

    Made tea, storecupboard special, some mince and mushrooms from freezer, a splash of this a splodge of that and I made beef and mushroom fajitas.:D

    I've also made lentil soup for tomorrow and a meringue. Fingers crossed it turns out ok.

    Have looked at the traybake tray and figured out that I have enough points on pigsback for a £10 Lakeland voucher, so I could treat myself to that tray bake tray.;)

    Hope everything is ok with everyone, where's Toots tonight?:confused: Hope she's ok and Lady Liberty. xxxx

    Pigpen, how'd the move back go? All ok?
