    ajmoney It always feel like no sooner is a room done here than it need doing again.

    Crafty I cleared all this out with the move just before xmas and Im trying not to replace it with more stuff wont use.

    LW ((((Hugs)))) sorry to hear about Cameron.

    Shortbird Wish I had that badge...Ive been begging and borrowing DVD's so that I dont have to watch it tomorrow as OH is away and without him I cant get out of the house other than for short walks.

    My symtoms have cranked up again the last day or two and last night DD and DS where in stitchers laughing at my muscle spasms as sometimes I make involunarty noises :o but hopefully as AF is here now they may start to settle down again.

    Curtains taken down in our room and DD's just hoping that I can get them washed and back up today.


    ETA Vanilla Bloody hell lots of spoons, coping vibes ad (((Hugs))) coming your way. I was wondering whether you have ever had a careers assessment done by Social Services. Even if OH doesnt want to be assessed refuses support you can get an assessment of your needs as a carer and they may be able to offer you support respite.

    A question for the Scottish flyladies? We have registered for postal voting for the first time this year, I have just looked through the form so I know what I am doing. However we haven't got anything for the voting referendum only a form for the local election, has anyone received 2 polling cards or just the local one?

    I will join you hollyh. Just put the throw from the sofa in the wash, as it was covered in cat fur, and was in desperate need of a wash, and as the weather is due to turn tomorrow, I wanted to get it out on the line to dry today.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    AJ, we've just got the one polling card each here if that helps.

    Ok, have bundled up more bags for charity shop etc. and decluttered a shedload of potential jamjars. I don't know why I collect them all year. One shout out to the coffee-club in the shop will bring me in bags of them the next day, so these ones are oot!
