    I didn't get a chance to get anywhere near the computer yesterday. Went to see OHs dad in the home, it is a nice place and the nurses seem ok. He tried to walk to see us out and managed to get out of his room which was much further than he has been and then the nurses put him in a chair and wheeled him back for us. Hopefully his legs will get stronger, it would be great for him to get to the outside doors. He had a fall last night though so not so good.

    Right, how am I doing on the list front. I am mega stressed at the mo (I always do at Christmas) so am abandoning most things today to try and get on top of everything at work as tomorrow is the last day until the New Year.

    How exciting! Congratulations :T So are you living in England? (Can't remember where Daz lives, just that it was a long way from you)

    Anyone watching Lorraine Kelly? There's an neighbourhood in New Jersey that goes way OTT with the Christmas lights.

    Not feeling great this morning. The sore throat/runny nose/cough that has been threatening to develop has done so over night and I think DD has stashed all the drugs in her bedroom. Dont know if I can cope with going in there. Best find my list.

    And why I have run the thread for over 2 years.. because I need to be here just as much as anyone else!! I also know just how demoralising and overwhelming it can all be and just how much difference it makes to see some level of progress.

    I also have more people living in my house than .. can I say 'everyone' here??? There are 9 of us here.. plus 6 cats, 2 rabbits and 3 fish..

    but I have got VERY good at throwing stuff out.
    well its working for me:eek::eek::eek::eek::A:kisses3:
