    OK I have been away on holiday. Had a fantastic time. DGD loved the beach and the swimming pool. Came back to good news from the council that I may be being rehoused at last. So now its not just a massive catch up on the housework its going to have to be a declutter as well.
    Glad your holiday was a success, Mooloo.
    Great news about your rehousing. I know you love your cottage and were enjoying developing the garden, but it was becoming more difficult with your DGD and heating and transport etc.
    Hopefully the new house will make things easier.

    Hi gang, thanks for the best wishes. Just back from the doctors with some new painkillers and another 3 days worth of diazepam. He wanted to give me some strong anti-inflammatories but I am allergic to aspirin so he has had to try something else, will have to see how they do after my next dose at lunchtime. I am also signed off work until Monday, I think I will be going out of my mind with boredom by then. He seems to think all will be ok but to go back in then if things aren't better.

    Might see if I can at least do some shredding or something today.

    Dusty Well Done :T:T:T
    ajmoney i hope the new painkillers work.

    I'm waiting on hubby to come in till we go to town, his script is ready so needs lifted ASAP. Need to change DS's shoes as there massive so trip to MrT's. Then i shall face the library and be fined for keeping the books to long. Then i'll get more. :rotfl:

    Then hubby due at the center for 2 and when thats finished i can get DD her glasses. :D

    Still misty here, really hope it lifts soon.
    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.
    :j :j
