    Glam can you pick up some more plastic storage boxes for me, I have used all mine this morning trying to sort the various lego types. Don't forget your ikea family card for your free coffee ;) Have decluttered 10 :eek: lego boxes into the green bin. I am gradually reclaiming the lounge!

    Miss H don't put yourself down, I have no idea what we are going to have for dinner yet, in fact I think we might have sausage, better get some out of the freezer to defrost. A lot of my HHC things were quick, other times I only seem to start never mind complete one thing.

    Lunch stop here.

  • Sandy - so sorry to hear you are down. I think 'me-time' is vital for you: stuff the housework! You'll get on much better when you feel up to it. Curl up with a magazine or do something you really enjoy. Is there a friend you could meet or chat to? xxxxxx

    As for me - I have given myself a good talking-to, and have finished the sitting room!

    Must do the airing cupboard and the loos; then I've finished all the essentials. May go early to pick up DD for cello lesson, and drop in on Lakeland on the way: need some bits and bobs.

    Hi, Diva

    Are you planting your tomatoes now? I mean setting up? How do you do it? On a window? or heated greenhouse?
    Thank you.

    Just popping in to say hello :) Still feel like !!!!!, am off to Chemist shortly to get some flu tablets and have a go at them as I swear they have given me totally different anti depressants and I don't trust these ones. Also am going to the libary to change my books as my car is due in to the garage tomorrow for it's MOT and I am waiting around there with my McD's breakfast and a good book.

    Soappie not sure what is going on here, went to the Dr's the other week about the cough and he said I had to let it take it's course, but daren't go to him about this cold/flu. Am going to get myself some multi vitamins while in town shortly, and hopefully these might kick start my immune system. Funny how it's always AF time when I get ill, this is the 3rd month now :(

    Hugs sandy, sending you lots of lovely squishy vibes your way. Fingers crossed that you don't have to pts your darling cat.

    Happy Birthday to those with birthdays today, as well as their offspring/family etc.

    Hugs and love xx

    Mrs B thank you for saying all the right things and just being lovely:o

    No there are no close friends anymore, they dissappeared when I was diagnosed with epilepsy

    Thank you everyone else for being so kind.

    I have put some washing on so I made a bit of effort.
