    Wm is on, all washing that needs doing is sitting in front of it!!
    TD is on (I know)

    Blood test for type 2 done, got told, don't ring for your results as we are pleased with your progress, 'if' there is a problem we will call you :j so far no phone call, so fingers crossed.

    Been to Stoke Manderville for hearing test, ~~ got told my hearing has improved!! :j and I don't need my right hearing aid any more, 'can we have it back' duly handed it over! :rotfl:

    However left ear is still poor and the high / very low tones are worse than before so was issued with a new super dooper hearing aid, :) got told to come back in 1 year unless I felt my right ear needed its hearing aid back!!

    4 days of free listings on ebay this weekend! 6th to 9th, so getting set for that, working all weekend as well.

    Any free time:-
    Hoover
    Ironing
    Dusting
    Kitchen
    Clean out greenhouse
    Clean out shed
    Sort stuff for next car booting at MK bowl!

    Hugs all round

    And Happy birthday to anyone I have missed.

    Have done nothing, but have acquired ANOTHER cold. Hoping it doesn't got the same way as the last one...

    However, the decorating is going well - bedroom has a few last bits to do and then I can start putting it back together; spare room should be done next week and the landing started.

    Tree surgeon came today and did a fantastic job. Sorted out the sycamore that keeps regrowing, gave the apple tree a major haircut and took down the 15-year-old christmas tree that had been planted in next door's garden by earlier tenants and was blocking their morning and my evening light. I've got the trunk seasoning for next year's logs :)

    DW is on. I should be packing, but all I have done is thrown together a meal (purple sprouting, chick peas, anchovies, garlic, chilli and couscous) to use up broccoli and show my body what a vegetable looks like and paid a bill. I now need to find some tablets that will stop the snot so I can sleep and hopefully get organised for the 3 hour drive to my parents tomorrow morning...
