    I have a wee problem though- i'm not allowed to touch dry dust. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I can do about that? Or do I need to try a mask?

    Cheers :)

    Hi Soappie :) thanks will try and grab something in poundland when im next there. At the moment i am having to change all bed linen daily and hot wash it to kill the stuff on it. GAH! LOL at least the pollen count is low at the moment.

    Lady-L thinking of you

    Summermoon- well done on the exam!

    Well, i put in the slow cooker a HUGE piece of beef- so that will be done and cooled by this evening for dinners this week. Tonight I plan a nice curry and naan bread.

    I have ironing to do, but at the moment I'm just shaking it and hanging it in the wardrobe as is. Is that bad?? lol oh well!

    have a good day all :)

    Thanks .... yes, that is her, she lived in Canada, because our illness is so rare we met on a support group, both the same age, her DD is the same age as my DS ... we immediately became close friends .... it was her wicked sense of humour that kept both of us going at times, we supported each other so much & vowed we wouldn't let this thing beat us, now she is gone .... she was a wonderful lady ... I last heard from her on my birthday just a couple of days ago......she was still making me laugh then even tho she said she was feeling !!!!!!, so that is how I will remember her :A

    ok, so I am curious about the pegs now! Which week is it I need to read for a giggle? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=30983573&highlight=merkin#post30983573 for anyone with an open mind!

    ok, so level 1 just about done, extras are out the window, asuming I could see the windowsill under the carp that is piled up I would clean it, but I will settle for just sorting the pile instead! Piling neatly against the wall will have to do for the clearing the floor as well, as I am slightly lacking in furniture, got the basics but no storage :( have however just ordered myself a wardrobe and chest of draws, so clothes can go from neatly in a pile at the foot of the bed, to actually put away, just got to wait for delivery!


    Right, off to tackle the washing up, then the shoe/bag/coat cupboard, if I am not back in half an hour, send a search party!

    ETA: meant to say, L-L, don't know the details, and don't want to pry, but I am sorry for your loss and applaud your bravery xx
