Hi LT
Now finished with the nurses (who were really lovely) but still off work for another week.:(
Really hoping to get myself back to some sort of order and try to do some bits around the house.
Hope you are keeping well

NRA it's so lovely to have you back among us (ooo, that makes it sound like you'd been abducted by aliens, doesn't it?!). Sorry to hear you've been so poorly :eek: but really, really pleased you're being taken care of. You take it slow and easy - plenty of tlc, and not too much laughing *dons the boring hat*...

Nora
One thing you never are is boring:) (that seems like bad grammar)
As I have said to LT now out of nurses care but still off work for another week..... still very bored as cant do as much as I would like but need to start getting out and about a bit more.
Internet shop was good very helpful guys bought everything into the kitchen for me, but have to admit I was a little bit naughty on the choccie front (I would say its your example but have to confess I just fancied lots of Min****** and they were lovely:o
What plans have you for this week?
I really must stop spending so much time on MSE and start doing some bits around the house lol.
Look after yourself, have a great week.
Hugs
