    soappie - just out of interest, how's your ankle doing? I'm still having to put strapping on mine (physio has shown me what to do) particularly at night... it turns out I sleep with my toes pointed and it doesn't like it...

    My ankles doing well thankyou. Generally it's fine, it's only when I do a sort of kneel down on the floor with the toes pointed type movement that it complains now. It still swells up a bit by the end of the day but mostly it doesn't bother me. I've not strapped it up at all since the hospital told me not to!

    Diva - glad you've got a dentist appointment - and Ice Cold is a film I enjoy watching again and again. It's quite powerful.

    Right, I need another cup of tea before I make my sandwiches for work. I shall fly when I get home

    Bleurgh, morning

    Well i got up and had muffins made and cooling BEFORE 7am, go me huh. Feel pants though which is why I think instead of sitting on my butt wasting time I should shower to see if it wakes me up and why dont I have any Slammer shower gel when I need it! Dont think I have any others that give me the hit like that does.

    My throat hurts, I am absolutely exhausted despite sleeping for 2 half hour sessions this afternoon.. I am the queen of power naps lol.. I have a grumpy gripey tummy ache.. my wrist hurts (Rsi is off on one after falling over beating up the cat) My knee and hips hurt.. also due to the fall but party due to the weather.. and I am so very cold!

    ok.. whinge off...
    Stop whingeing woman and just get on (ok well I would offer a hug but know you dont like them)

    I have Loads to do today (just unsure what) and I have to find something to wear tonight.

    Right I'm going

  • Good morning everyone :beer: DH has gone to work, and DD will be in bed for a couple more hours yet :rolleyes: I've just heard DS, so I'll get him breakfasted and off to school and hit my list :T

    My attic and garage are perfectly tidy, thank you, but I may spruce my woodshed :p:D :rotfl:

    That fudge looks lush - I tore the recipe from the magazine, so will definitely make it later :T

    DD has agreed to assist me today, so we're making mince pies later. The house is pretty tidy, but I do need to tackle papers, which have been breeding again :confused:

    Catch you all later
