  • Hello, sorry not caught up with thread, went to Mum's this morning and then was asleep since I got home. Mum's doing a bit better - she's coming out in bruises but is able to bear weight on her twisted knee which is good - she managed to have a shower and went up and down the stairs a couple of times while I was there and she managed a very short walk up the road so that was good. Then mum lay on the bed and we played scrabble and then I made her lunch and came home. It was very pleasant but I'm completely worn out this evening.

    Hoping to wash up this evening - I will be very happy if I can do that. I've done my French lesson, knitting, written a card, Bible reading and decorated the cover of my scrapbook today so I've been quite productive! Any tips on scrapbooking will be gratefully received as I've never done one before

    Also: who's the best to get your digital photos developed?

    Flying: washing up tonight, tidying LR and bedroom tomorrow and see how I get on from there!

  • Sorry guys, not caught up for days, only this page.

    jinky its prob the meds, and just recovering. Go easy on yourself.

    rosepink so sorry your mum is not well, did she have an accident?

    electricians have been, and done very well, but there is still brick dust over everything. Big clean up at the weekend when they have finished, I think.
