    the gym phoned tonight to find out how I was, told them about my back and shoulder and hoping to be back next week, they said I could have got fees suspended on medical suspension but I cannot be bothered going to ask doctor for a "note" as I know I have pulled/torn a muscle but never got it diagnosed :eek: by an "official"
    How much money would you save by having your fees suspended? Surely it's worth a 10 minute appointment at the doctors? The gym is quite expensive, especially if you are unable to go. It seems daft to me to be paying for a service you can't use, especially if you have the option to suspend the fees while you are injured.

    I've been writing this since Monday :o and still haven't fully caught up with the thread. I meant to post this yesterday but didn't get a chance.

    Sarah glad DD is out of hospital, you focus on her this week, don’t worry about flying xx

    Hugs Kazm to you and DH, glad your BD is keeping away but it’s still hard for you both that DH is suffering

    Welcome Newbies

    MOAM glad DH’s op went well

    Ruth well done on the weight loss! I put on 2lbs on holiday but have lost 1 since then.

    Mummyof5 sorry you are in so much pain, I hope you get some relief soon xx

    Sabs I hope DD does well xx

    AJ hope your cold is better soon

    Ishtar hope your mum is ok and gets good results from the biopsies

    Grateful I hope DD1 is ok

    Written Tuesday: While lying awake last night (it was too hot to sleep), I planned my whole stall for doing a craft fair, LOL! It looked quite nice and I had loads of good ideas! Now have a mental list of all the things I will need to do a craft fair. I’ve been thinking of it for a while, I think I will plan to do one towards the end of the summer.

    Have had a really nice morning. I got up early and tidied up a lot in the LR, and then a lovely lady from my congregation came round. I don’t know her that well, but she asked a few weeks ago if she could come round, and we had a lovely time. She was worried about me as she’d noticed I’ve missed quite a lot of meetings lately, and she was very encouraging. She asked if I’d like help to declutter the flat, and she’s going to get a few girls together and we are all going to declutter on one day and get it really really nice in here! How great! I’ve been trying to do it on my own, without much success, so I think it’s time to let other people help me.


    Today: Really must wash up today, we are running out of stuff as I've been doing other things. I've got to go out this afternoon so will be doing some work this morning and washing up and other bits and bobs. Have stripped bed already so can get the new covers on that a bit later. I also need to carry on with sorting out our paperwork/shredding.
