    Morning all

    Choccibix Happy Birthday have a lovely Day

    Triker hope your DD has a lovely day too

    Diva - good luck hun

    Off to do a HHC in the kitchen whilst having some toast and honey.

    Worked out why DM doesn't always work well - if the bread knives are put in the basket they stop the arm from spinning!

  • The Occupational Therapy lady just rang to cancel. She has a stinky cold, and is on holiday next week so we have to wait 10 days now for another appt. She did sound really rough.

    I did manage to tidy a few things on the desk while talking to her though, so every cloud etc.

    *sighs*

    Anyway, I am back to bed now, I hope everyone enjoys their day and thank you for all the vibes you already sent out.
