    OK, dragons are all suitably clean; those with crystals in are sparkly, all ready for "A"'s visit tomorrow night.:D

    Off to the kitchen now to construct dins, then all I need do is bung it in the oven when Mr LW is on his way home.:o

    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. x

    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)

    Oh and I cleaned out my gerbils

    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 :o 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 occupied :)

    Sorry you had a bad reaction, but glad that someone had the authority/nouse to rethink the scan plan and hopefully find out what is wrong.
