Oh KC, how was the pre-op? Don't downplay your op - mine wasn't really a big deal to the medics, who did at least 3 in the same day, but it still was a big deal (and lots of people other than you will thik it's more of a big deal than it *actually* is - I know I was mildly miffed by the people who thought it was nothing much, and slightly irritated by the people who thought I was having major heart surgery... :rotfl: :rotfl: Reality is somewhere in between, as usual... )

Have you got an exact date yet? (apologies if you have - I didn't get a date til ages after the pre-op and I can't remember whether you already know!) xx

Thanks macgirl! You're right, its absolutely a big deal to me - but one of the things being on here has taught me, amongst many, is that people battle all sorts of terrible things on a daily basis - look at what Taxi's been through, to mention but one of the peeps I chat with regularly. I'm pretty unhappy about having to have a general anaesthetic, but a local apparently isn't good enough to cope with the pain :eek::eek::eek:

Pop back anytime :j:j:j

Anyway, today, I have quite a bit more paid work than I thought I would - 3.5 hours, actually, which is great. Starts much earlier than usual, tho, which isn't :rotfl:

I'm still working on rationalising .... thats what I'm calling decluttering now, since it also involves tidying

Still trying to get my head round this one KC!

Over the holiday I did some [STRIKE]decluttering[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]rationalising[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]decluttering[/STRIKE]...

...hmm...

...who am I fooling - let's just call it clearing out the cr*p...

...today OH wanted to know when the paper recycle box was so heavy!!!

My goal (NOT a resolution) is to get rid of as much junk as possible and not bring more into the house - most of my junk is paper based. Having a 'printer' for a partner does not help at all - all the lovely samples that make there way home contribute! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Okay, I'm with you on this one :p:p

And your OH is a printer? There's another sort-of similarity between us then - my dad was a printer!

Right, first hour is done, 2.5 to go ... but I'm hungry *already* so better attend to that first

Morning KC

*popping in on a working from home break*

Love the chat about your new way of looking at things. Surgery is *always* a big deal to the person having it.

:wave: Hiya!

Glad to hear you're working at home today, gives you a bit of a breather.

The chat is lovely, isn't it :kisses3:

And yes, you're right, any surgery is a big deal if you're the one thats having it. I must remember thats a normal reaction!

Popping by, nodding at comments which of course you can't see but there you are!

have a nice afternoon I'm like Gilligan working at home again - which is nice - radio on access to both kettle and dog

Mattress hunting today - down to the coast, I think, to check things out.

Have got a vision of you in a deerstalker hat with a large net KC! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Morning KC

did the net capture any mattresses?

DS went into my bedroom last night to put the christmas stuff away and stood on my bed to reach the top of the wardrobe. He reckons my mattress is awful.
