I've cleaned the bio lab, primordial muck fest aka the recycling bin....retched much...oh yes.
Anyway its done...
Took DD2 to have her hair chopped, it looks great, hubby still very porrly.
Oh and also taxed the cars, removed some money from savings to place into rapidly depleting bank account.:eek:

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
hello,
it's been my day off today but i'm not well
Have been feeling run down for a few days but had a bad night with a very sore throat and my sore shoulder seems worse (waiting for physio). Whichever way I lay it hurt!
Managed to get to the docs who tells me I have septic tonsilitis. He has given me 10 days worth of antiobotics and said to stay off for the rest of the week. If I'm no better in 48 hours I have to go and see him again.
I pushed the vac round downstairs cos it was depressing me watching all the cat hair roll around.
I have slept most of the afternoon and feel like absolute carp.
In fact I feel worse now than when I went to the docs this morning. Kitchen is a tip but DH will have to deal.Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift
That's why we call it 'The Present'0 -
Hey all - listy searching...
Hope your all well xx
LL - great to see you still posting...
Mozzy - Long time no see!! Great to see you!
