    Morning KC, you sound to be moving at break-neck speed this morning. I'm worn out just reading!!!
    Good to hear you sounding so full of life again - enjoy your cuppa :beer: and have a nice day :)
    Hiya! Not really break neck, just steady, honest - I think the ebay last weekend made my Inner Rebel put her foot down earlier this week :D

    sounds like that injection really worked for you ...you seem much brighter and more active and very busy
    Thanks Taxi! Yes, as macgirl said too, full of life again - and I think you're right, I think the steroid injections have a lot to do with it - I'm not waking up during the night, or in the morning, with any pain at all. Makes a *huge* difference. I'm still wary of using this shoulder thats been causing all the problems, but I have to fairly often, but so it goes ...

    Which means I'm doing the DIY but I'm taking it easy :D sweeping floors, vacuuming, tidying, and carting little tables around are also involved, as is taking my coffee out into the sunshine :T

    Thanks Lula! Its absolutely brilliant - this is exactly the sort of reason I moved here, close to national transport links, local facilities and countryside..... I couldn't ask for more, really .... well, I could, and I will :D and that will all come, quite soon now, through the trading.

    It's all looking good in your world at the moment, so if you can start to get some trading done, all the better.
    Walks in fresh air, house getting slowly sorted ( and is in a far better state to start with than the last one) short break coming up, and the wedding to look forward to, the list gets longer.

    Thanks DT!

    Just crossposted with gill .... yes, this house is in a *far* better state than the last, I think thats whats been so liberating - things I can do here make a real difference, I'm not just faffing around on the edges with things that will have to be destroyed anyway when a huge great renovation happens. Stuff I do here is the final stage - apart from this work on the bed :rotfl: I can't quite see that being permanent - but thats okay, actually, it uses materials I've got to achieve a semi-permanent solution, stores things more neatly and more compactly, and gives me resources I didn't have, that can be re-used in *other* ways when I'm done....

    I know that sounds weird... all I'm doing is making a bed support for a single bed from the slats of a double bedframe ...

    Morning KC, I can soooo relate to having a house that feels liberating. I only realised how stressed I'd been at the other house, when we moved here.
    It was constant frustration at not being able to find a home for things or organise the chaos - as the house was just too small. Now I have loads of storage space, so I can just ram everything away and not see it! :rotfl:

    The right house really does add to your life :D Have a good day x
