2. Change any dead lightbulbs and defluff any old ones.. if you can change some old ones for eco-bulbs.. save a few pence where we can
3. Passports are being processed really quickly at the moment (stepdads took 3 days!) if yours needs renewing for a holiday this year get it done now to save that last minute panic!

I wish I had done no.1 of today's extras before now and then I would be able to find the insurance docs for the laptop:rolleyes::rolleyes:

cant do no.2 and I have 2 dead ones - need to find an able bodied person - carers arent allowed and cleaner has sore leg just now

cant make up my mind whether or not to do no.3 havent got one at all and the holiday abroad is looking less likely - well at least by air - would be so annoying if something came up and then I couldnt go - will have to think on that one a bit more

have done loads of little jobs but none on the lists - oh well there is always tomorrow.

went shopping with support worker today

got birthday cards
food shopping
birthday present

this afternoon
I spoke to 2 lovely friends on the phone
I put the shopping away
I had a pedicure (my time for me as per the list - a bit more than 30 mins though!) and also had my eyebrows re-shaped.

thats it for now I am off to bed and will try to do better at catching up tomorrow morning

hugs to one and all - one size fits all

special love and hugs to Lady Lxx

sleep well and stay safe and cosy

Rach - interesting - your casualty nurse must have been on the same course as mine re the strapping! I remember that when I went to the Dr the day before I went to casualty to get it xrayed after 11 days of pain and trouble, the GP said it was a good idea to keep it strapped up. Totally negated the next day by the A&E nurse!

Just be careful on your way to work. Use that stick not only as support and sympathy to get a seat but as a weapon too! xx

Definitely use the stick. And do all the things you're told to. I'm pretty sure from what the physio said that the strapping was because my hypermobility meant I kept re-spraining my ankle. It's fine during the day now (although I MUST stop sitting with my toes pointed and ankles turned in ) but still unpleasant at night as I curl my feet in which puts pressure on all the bits I hurt!

Finished a first re-write of something I've been collaborating with a colleague on, seeing as he didn't bother to reply to my 'are you working on it tonight or am I' email, and sent it back to him and my mentor. I have one other piece I need to work on, but can't get to as I don't have access to the system at the moment. If my laptop arrives tomorrow I'm going to have a very busy evening! Nothing like an overdue deadline to get me working...

Toots - do the passport - what if something came along at short notice and you couldn't do it cos of the passport - do it, its only a form, photo and some dosh and then you're ready.[What would you tell someone else in the same situation???]

Soappie. Yes a lot more admissions due to falls and car accidents. Surgical wards full. I had to take an old lady to another ward as the one she was being admitted to did not have a bed for her. Lots coming in to out patients as well with legs or arms in plaster. At one point they were queing out the door of A&E.

soappie wrote: »

Boddy - that's quite horrid really, all those admissions and quite scarey if the wards are beginning to become full. Will you be doing extra hours for the duration?

Don't know if you recall but last week I was told the orthopaedic and surgical wards were so full with those who had fallen on the ice and broken bones the old ladies were being put on the maternity unit!!! and the old men on all the other wards! It was dreadful..

Thursdays list is up... bit late as I had Jacob until 11pm :rolleyes: He is so much better behaved without DS1 and GF... tough he is rather scared of OH's feet!! lol

I flew food down my throat and I am starved again.. I am certain I have developed hollow legs!
