    Front hall now looks great.:D Lots of junk out and all empty boxes sorted for my sister, i'll go down later with them.

    WM and TD been reloaded and DW emptied.

    Gonna go and sort DD room after me cuppa.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Hello all.

    Just got an email to say I've won a £5 voucher with one of the survey sites – so I now have a total of £25 in Amazon vouchers burning a hole in my virtual pocket!:j

    Onestep I'm so pleased the woofer ate all her chicken; I do remember when Penny-dog was getting elderly, and her digestion not what it should be, the vet put her on a chicken'n'rice and fish'n'rice diet.

    Dusty how is Woody today? Do I need to send healing/appetite vibes?

    Molly sorry to hear you have the wretched mouth ulers too. I haven't been to the doc about them – I doubt there's much she could do, it just goes with lupus:( (plus I'm quite run down just now) and I'm soooooo scared of medical bods.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Toots the pink stuff for mouth ulcers that tastes horrible is Anbesol – that's what I'm using! I've tried Bonjela and Rinstead pastilles in the past, and neither touch the ulcers I get. Not heard of Difflam – is it OTC or would I have to visit the dreaded doc? Thankfully they're improving a little (albeit very slowly) – thanks for asking Kezlou. Still having to leave the lower plate out a lot of the time though.:(
    In fact major thanks to all who have expressed sympathy. If you can keep the healing vibes coming for a bit, I'm certain they'll go down a lot quicker.:o

    Helen yes, PTFE tape is wondrous stuff – when BG made a mess of our central heating, and we had an independent plumber in to sort it, he said the BG guy had done up the fixings with “no PTFE tape and a limp wrist”. *insert rolleyes smilie*

    Major posi-vibes for Cyclingyorkie's OH's Dad. Hope the biopsy results are good.

    I think I need to do a HHC to do the dusting, as there's all the dragons to move to do it thoroughly (though I think that today I may just dust around the really heavy ones) – anyone care to join me 14:45-15:15? :o
