    Hi all,

    I haven't had to keep up with the thread in the last couple of weeks but I have been managing just about to keep on top of the house. That was until Saturday morning anyway when I fell through the ceiling from the loft down into my bedroom. Luckily I landed on the dog's bed which was full of cushions and old blankets which sort of broke my fall and I didn't break any bones! I am just bruised and battered. Unfortunately, I have been told to rest for a few days, so DH has had to come home from work so he can look after me and the kids. So hopefully he will be helping with the housework this week in between trying to work online!

    Hopefully by next Monday I will be much better and will be able to join in again!

    Well I have found you all, but I am really unwell today. Struggling to stand up straight without being dizzy/sick, so perhaps I will just cheer you all on from the sidelines until I am feeling better.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Greenbee - I'd already done my return plus received the refund back in June. I thought I had but an email I got the other day implied I hadn't done it. The mail didn't have any link so very odd. Just the trust one to sort out then which is partially done so not as much work as I thought.
    Well done.. I meant to do mine then but didn't get round to is as usual :o... I've blocked time in my diary to do it tomorrow night.

    DW emptied, washing up done, pudding made for tonight. Paperwork sorted for GP appointment. Need to buy broccoli on the way there if I leave on time. Then I'm back for a meeting and then off again to the gym seeing as its a quiet way work-wise.
