Life after bankruptcy?

Don't go, Flaxseed! It was a very useful idea, just got to sort out the logistics.

How are the shivery sheep?

Ani, enjoy the walk, and I hope the bubbles weren't washing up liquid!

DH found remains of a bag of salmon, nom nom nom...

Flaxseed

Sheep still looking very dejeted. Still raining. It won't be long before they separate Moms from lambs. I don't like that they bleat for a couple of days calling to one another. I don't look or listen when the lorry comes .......

Risking a bit more info on the washing machine, I had mine sitting on a stout piece of wood with castors on the bottom and wheeled it near enough to the sink to get the outlet pipe over the edge. It was inconvenient while it was out, but at least I could use the machine.

I'm full of good ideas, they don't always work but I reckon my junior school headmaster was about right when he said I was capable of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Ani if it smells a bit, it will be bits of water sitting in in the bottom of the machine and anything you put in will smell eventually.

My slow cooker has gone pouf.
Bah is all.

Oh no! to the sheep and the slow cooker.

Beanie, can you make a hay box cooker? I mean, you might want another slow cooker of course, I just want to hear about someone making a hay box! I believe they actually cook very well.

Flax, I don't know why we don't all put heavy white goods on wheeled platforms, it makes so much sense when you consider potential back strains and ripped floor coverings. Mind you then I'd have no excuse if I didn't clean behind the cooker.

This is what happens when we try to live healthy lives? And another reason you need a freezer (ice packs).

Ok. I've decided i want to live in the modern world, like other people,with an ordinary washing machine plumbed into its rightful place, with an ordinary cooker, fridge / freezer, with curtains, and with limbs / body / brain / and whatever else with functioning capabilities. Don't want much, do i? There are people worse off than me, take that guy in that documentary, for instance. That's not living either.

Yep, i need an ice pack right now.

It's bad when you have to take financial decisions over health decisions.

Did you get a medical diagnosis?

If you aren't strapped up - or even if you are! - can you use cold water, maybe in a washing up bowl or something? I don't want to give you pneumonia, so you'd need to keep warm, but cold water goes a good bit of the same way as an ice pack and has the advantage it stays below body temperature. Even a towel soaked in cold water might help.

If you aren't partly under water (!), try to support both sides of the injury, e.g. a pillow or rolled up clothing.

I'm not a first aider, I've done emergency aid for work but that's not the same - but you do pick up a few ideas when getting kids from 0-18! Gory stories on some other occasion, though.

Right. I feel suitably down / knackered, so i'm off to bed, but not before i've had some more painkillers
