            Hi All,
 Its been a tough day for me pain wise and was feeling really depressed, I sat down, read back a few pages and have been totally humbled. 
 I am very fortunate really as I know eventually an operation can cure this pain. (((hugs))) and spoons all round.

            Good morning :beer: DD up early to get the 7:15 train into Leeds to start back at college. She's hoping to be able to go to the Leeds Uni open day later, too.
 Need to drop my car at the car hospital, then go and see the nurse for a checkup. I'll try to run after that 
 Off to find a list ............Done - a very long days work, exhausting but rewarding and Pen Pen was in your neck of the woods today.
 I'm now hungry and want a hotdog.
 Had I not been at work, you could have called in for real cake 
 This dog hot enough for you  
 Toots, if you want me to hold your hand while you insert pics, do shout :A:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0
- 
            Quick visit to send MissH hugs and pain-free vibes for today (experience tells me the stiffness gets worse up to two days after a fall)
 Toots - Have the authorities been warned about the new menace about to hit the fair city? And what were you doing going outside for the washing in the middle of the night!
 Hugs for all those living with pain.
 Back later for a list.0

            Hya all,
 Hugs to all those in need.
 Well done LW for getting through the ordeal of yesterday. Look after yourself. Sending you lots of spoons - thought the story was fantastic - very graphic and moving.
 This persevering and achieving with baby steps is definitely working. Cleared out airing cupboard yesterday. OH put up 2 new shelves -only had 2 shelves in originally, one at chin height and one top of the wardrobe height (unreachable by me unless I climb). It is now beautifully sorted:)
 Hoping to tackle the dumping ground that is the spare bedroom - and turn a corner into a sewing space:) It will have to be a WIP as there will be LOTS of bags for recycling or chucking.
 Maybe I need to eat some cans of spinach. At the very least I must think that each bag removed is a baby step towards the goal.
 Hugs and spoons to everyone who needs again,
 Cheers m'dears x0

            Morning,
 Managed to get a bit caught up yesterday - just two days of getting a bit behind and I felt like it was getting on top of me again. But kitchen is reasonable, living room is manageable and got a few bits done in the bathroom - glad I didn't clean the bath though as OH had a shave in there last night and didn't rinse it afterwards so now it looks like it's been carpeted :mad: will need to finish off in there today. Also managed to catch up with putting the clean laundry away. Took almost an hour to fold it all and put it away there was that much of it 
 Didn't cry when I dropped Ollie to preschool yesterday but was a bit teary eyed when I picked him up (soppy sod I know). He was fine, but his named teacher said that sometimes its the second time you leave them that they feel it so will see how tomorrow goes He's got his music group this morning and then I need to go to the chemist, but want to get the bed sheets in the machine before we go so better get a wiggle on!

            OK I have a project.
 Finally admitted to myself that I am spending (wasting) far too much time sitting here.
 The PC is upstairs in the spare room/study - I wander up with a cup of something - catch up on MSE and emails, but then I am still sitting here an hour or more later not doing anything constructive - just surfing (or playing solitaire) not doing anything constructive - just surfing (or playing solitaire)
 So I need to tidy up/clutter clear/re-arrange a space downstairs so I can set up the lap-top.0
