Mr Probate needs to be refocused on PROBATE MATTERS or he can sling his hook. Surely if he does a good job on that you can consider the rest? Unless there is a compelling reason for it probate reasons

Hello Diary and Dear Friends, :hello:

Thank you everyone for all your comments; can't reply sensibly to all atm as am still fuzzy-headed.

It's official: I have the current bug [would rather have a current bun?]. Fever, aching, light-headed and headachy, even more enervated than usual.

Nevertheless, MrsPG inspired me to spend an hour tackling paperwork, which doubled due to 'phone-calls. One more to make but have run out of puff, so thought had better sign on here briefly before giving in to horizontality for a while.

..Just in case anyone is worrying that Daft Dogs and I might have been washed away. All is secure and snug in the Nest, thank goodness, but more rain is due and the river is raging; a constant low rumbling in the background.

Daft Dogs are happy. They had the last of the Gruyere cheese sauce with their lunch.

Thanks for the update and confirming you haven't been washed away

Enjoy your horizontal-ness later :D

Are you okay there Robin? I won't start to panic properly until tomorrow!!

Good morning Everyone, :hello:

Am taking the unusual step of logging on first thing in the morning today; while cognitive powers are still available. This bug is a Lulu. Or possibly a Beatrice - one unholy diva anyway.

Those who care will be relieved to hear it is relaxing it's grip. With any luck [if improving pattern continues] I'll get two or three hours before fever and exhaustion cut in again - yesterday used that time to complete some research into Probate Chappie's claims, and then compose a missif declining his services.
While doing so I noticed that his proposal for the unnecessary work he wanted to do on my UK affairs included an advance bill for almost a grand - which he wanted paying by yesterday.. :eek:

He really was having a laugh.

DS and DGD called in briefly last night, to collect the keys for PC's cottages. It seemed a better idea for them to stay there this weekend rather than risking either of 'em picking up this lurgi by staying here. No kissing or hugging - that felt so odd - but lovely to see DGD even just for a few minutes.

DS obviously wanted to check that I'm not about to starve - store cupboard shows that is not a problem; have been able to consume very little this week so am hoping the scales will reveal a definite positive [lower weight] tomorrow.

Daft Dogs are being very good, especially considering that they haven't had a proper walk for days. FD thinks she can lick me better, and CD is sticking to my side like glue; bless 'em both.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Glad to hear that
1) you are getting better
2) you are declining dodgy guy's services
3) you got to see DGD, if only for a short while
4) Daft dogs are looking after you.

Lots of positives despite being poorly

Look after yourself Xx

Yes you are right. Doesn't it help make life easier to run through them every so often?

Hello Dragon, lovely to see you "visiting" and thank you - and to everyone who posted earlier - for your well-wishes.

How are you getting on, Dragon? ((hugs)) ..Have any significant test results come back yet? Am keeping you and MrD [and Dragon-Hound] in my thoughts; sending positive vibes..


Am back to square one with PC's Spanish Probate of course. Not up to thinking about it today - time to get into the garden for a while between showers. Who knows, maybe there will be tender young broad beans to provide a nourishing [low calorie] supper?

No test results yet (the fact that they have mucked me around big time with appointments and I have had to do all the chasing for tests I don't even want to have makes me :mad::mad::mad:)

Dr Dragon is not happy about the appointments (07.45 hours Monday morning anyone? :eek: oh and it will takes us 45 mins to get there :eek::eek:), Furry Dragon is, however, enjoying the fire being lit :rotfl:

Good to see you posting again, love, even if it is to tell us how poorly you are......hope you get better soon. Take care of yourself xx
