    I havent done any decorating since I moved in so I think I should add that to my todo list (something wipeable and NOT WHITE!!!)
    :D This reminded me of a lady who lived in the village where I used to live, who painted her entire house with Kitchen'n'Bathroom paint. The reason? She had two big, slobbery Newfoundlands!:rotfl:
    Thanks natty for the assistance - you will have to let me know which energy tablets you take - although I am useless at taking tablets, I have to wait hours to take tabs cos I cant remember if I have taken them or not! Absolutely hopeless
    One of my last-thing-at-night daily tasks is to set out the next day's tablets. The ones for the morning go in little shot glasses on the kitchen table (one each for Mr LW and me) and my ones for later go in a pretty pillbox with a butterfly on, in my handbag (so that I have them with me if we happen to go out). I also have my mobile phone set to beep at me at tablet times, as my sustained release morphine is fairly time-critical. HTH.

    Thanks for putting up tomorrow's list early Piggers; I notice that I get away with not doing some of the tasks (I don't have any house plants or stairs:D) and some are already done this week. I have to do some restocking of the freezer and the cake/biscuit tins over the next 2 days, so for the sake of eking out spoons, I won't look for extra cleaning to do, but will do the baking instead.:o

    ETA (cursing my lupie brain, I nearly forgot:shhh:) Hoppy Birdday Froddy.:bdaycake:

    such an exhausting morning already.. old dog had 2 funny turns this morning, so I took her to the vets, fully expecting him to say 'ok she's had enough' & now she has more tablets.. and she had another funny turn a little while ago. Vet says her circulation isn't working very well, so her turns are from when her brain gets short of oxygen. Which is basically any time she moves :( .. I think it's time, but DH is away, & wants to be here when it happens. She's sleeping now, and she isn't in any pain. Hard to know what to do. Actually I do know, just wanted to offload (sorry). If she's like this tomorrow the vet can come here and if DH can get here in time fine, but if not, tough. Dogs get into your soul, don't they?

    May have to clean the kitchen again.. good therapy :o
