Triker - hope everything has gone well. Healing vibes are on their way.
LW - have posted some spoons for you.
Greenbee - you're doing really well, getting all the jobs done. I hope to send you an e-mail soon.
I stocked up on fruit and veg at the market this morning and did lots of flinging at work. Also decluttered a very useful conversation about various things with a friend/colleague.
Having a break and then I'm on with laundry, watering flowers, some flying and tea. x0 -
washed pots and took my ebays and a letter and a lovefilm to PO - there's a postbox (and a phonebox) on my road, actually, but needed to get the parcels weighed so I walked.
have also washed out my vacuum cleaner tubes and nozzles and wiped out the cavity as it smelled doggy from being loaned out
(not a typo)

today i was planning on doing housework, but then i got the urge to go shopping and went a little mad in mothercare and mamas and pappasgot pretty much everything we need though so only need a cot and mattress and little bits like clothes and toys, so i suppose thats something.

no idea what's going on. I can only assume too much bed rest. Anyway, I think they may have found the problem, as they ended up reprogramming the scanner and doing something completely different than planned after the first two.
Email would be good ... It might keep me occupied0 -
not getting as many done as I'd hoped, but making progress. Three hours in radiology didn't help... And for the first time EVER I nearly passed out when they put the needle for the dye in and had to be wheeled out of the room because I couldn't walk on my own
