  • Thanks for missing me, toots, a combination of black dog and fibro playing up. I wasnt achieving anything and making myself feel worse about it so I stopped until I could give it a good go again. I did miss you all though! On any good days I did do some decluttering and my sons bedroom is positively glowing, so cleaning his room should be a doddle (I hope!)

    Morning all,

    Well think I am as ready for today's operation as I am ever going to be.

    I am up, washed and dressed. Bungalow has had a final S&S, dried up and put away all washing up, tidied round everywhere, mourned :rotfl: not being allowed coffee so washed kettle out and it is left open and dry.

    Now only body jewellrey to remove and basically go to hospital (oh and pop out wheelie bin and cuddle cat like mad).

    Feeling a bit sick but i think thats anxiety and lack of sleep but I did get 3 hours last night and I will get some today too :rotfl:.

    Sooo today instead of being on the flying list I am on the theatre list..hehehe

    Big hugs, love and spoons in a nice tidy pile for you please help yourself while I am gone..

    Cya when I am one less internal organ lighter...

    Sarah xx
