    Diagnosis -quinsy.

    I have written a shopping list and DH is going to Mr T. My plan is to sit in the garden under the umbrella with a book and maybe cuddle a cat or 3 :p
    Have a lovely Saturday everyone :D
    Hope you get better soon. You can join me in doing nothing... Might be worth getting some more books in while you can though. I've run out of stuff I want to read :o and it's not sunny here.

    I'm seriously fed up now, as I'd started feeling better and am now worse. I haven't even managed to get out of bed yet today and am find ing both the lack fo exercise and the amount of work/housework/gardening that is slowly accumulating very stressful.

    Think I might have another sleep after the effort of posting :p

    Well done on the weight loss CY :T:T

    Back from the doctors - DD has had a painful tailbone for over a month now, he has recommended ibuprofen 3x a day and to go back in a month. I guess there's not much he can do but as it has gone on for a while I did think he might have recommended an xray.

    Builder arrived early and has gone through some of the paperwork. Says we definitely need to get the council building inspector to come and have a look at the work that was done previously, so thats a big job on the list that will probably cost a lot of what we dont have. The smaller jobs he can do but having put the ladders up realised he will need his scaffolding which isnt available til at least next weekend. Good job he's an old friend and happy to be paid in tea.

    DD is supposed to be tidying her room but has got as far as her laptop :mad: and DS has done his room.

    I must tackle some more of the list but in the mean time

    hugs and feel better vibes to greenbee (I missed why you are unable to do much) I can understand your frustrations

    Maxonian - hope you feel better soon too

    Triker - sorry to hear hubs is still not good

    Thats all I can remember for now

    Back later

    Kazm - it may be stating the obvious but have you checked how DD is sitting? I ended up sitting on mine for a while due to back problems and got into the habit of it, and it made it very tender. If she sits up straight it may help. It might also be worth here seeing someone for massage (sports massage not relaxing stuff!) if it might be postural. If you can't find anyone I'll ask my mother for the detaios of the person she sees, as I've been to her and she's very good.

    I had a minor op 10 days ago which was less minor than planned, so I wasn't prepared for two weeks of doing nothing but lying around getting bored. Or feeling ill. Still... Two weeks is up on Tuesday, so I'll miraculously feel better then won't I? :D

    DD is out now for the day and X said he doens't know when they'll be back :D:rotfl: The only thing I know for definite is they're going to the cinema for a bit later. I'm going to get on with the house work now I've had a second cup of coffee. I feel much more awake and raring to get on with stuff :j:j

    Going for a slightly long HHC until midday as I need to wash up, will tackle other things on the list as well ;) Catch you later :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Turns out it's warm, sunny and breezy outside, so I'm hoping to get dressed soon and get myself settled in the garden. I'd like to do some washing as it looks like a good drying day but I suspect that may be a little ambitious. I think I should probably schedule a shower for some point today though :o

  • I am wearing a pair of size 16 jeans! This time last year I could just about squeeze into a pair of size 22 jeans!

    And - when I was out for my pre breakfast walk i got honked at by a passing white van man! Now that hasn't happened for about 25 years!


    Well done on your weightloss :jIt has taken me two years to go from and 18 down to a 12. Great isn't it though, and wish we had some white van men round here;)
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.
