Dust and deweb.. make sure you do light fittings and bulbs! do picture rails and coving too if you possess it! :eek: That means getting the ladder out... I don't do heights - my ceilings are 9' 6" high - I am going to stubbornly substitute this for doing those light fittings I can reach WITHOUT getting the ladder out...

I'm a bit gutted not to have been able to do todays challenge - if i do two days tomorrow can i still get todays star? I've got gallstones and had a flair up today so i've jsut been sat trying to get comfy for most of the day. I've been to my gp tonight and he has changed the medication i get for IBS and has given me a referal to the surgeon - i see him at the end of February and will literally beg him to give me the op. Has anyone else got them or had them? What can i do to get through next three weeks with this pain. I've had them for 7 years - first feeling them when i got pregnant with my daughter - but only found out I had them in November of last year. Since then i've lived with the pain but I'm fed up of acting tough now I can't cope with it any more.
Sending <<hugs>> to Keggie x0
