Especially as aforementioned spangles are black and about the same size as six legged beasties. No way am I removing glitterbugs from the ladygarden shrubbery.
Just seen tomorrow's challenges; I shall have to Google the exercise thingies, as I don't know what this entails, but if I can do HHYoga on the Wii and Dr Kawashima's Brain Training every day (as I do);), I'm sure I can fit these in, too.;)
Re the meds: we're totally up to speed on this; we both have prescription meds, which I got supplies of last week, and I checked all the cold remedies etc only recently, and made sure Mr LW has Lemsips and cough sweets in his work briefcase.:o
Sun lotion we have to hand at all times, as I need to use it on sunny days even in winter, as I'm very sun-sensitive with this damned lupus.If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Oh for !!!!'s Sake. I suddenly get emails from the facebook group or something that's been dormant for aeons and find things appear to have gone pear shaped here because Piggers can't cope any more and poor Dusty's doing the stars (I've only skim read)
If you need a leader, I'm your woman. Don't expect favours, don't expect fluff and love but do expect discipline and purpose. I'm on my effing uppers but I can do this... if you'll have me...
But only if you want me to....I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
