    Hi,
    A bit of a funny day today. Lots planned but the phone, doorbell and several callers soon put a stop to that. Gave up in the end and did all the sudokus and crosswords in the paper.

    Lindsay: Yes, the wind was pretty hairy last weekend. If your OH found it windy at Rookley he should have tried it on the coast. It actually howls round our house which is a bit eerie at night.

    LW: I think you are something else. The amount you manage to do in spite of all your problems is amazing. I also spend quite a lot of time lying on the sofa, but I don't have the excuse of dizzy spells. Lazy spells, more like.

    Fuddle: Well done! How many fasting days is that? It gets easier as you go on. I know it sounds ridiculous but really look forward to my F-days.

    Last, but by no means least......HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIEO.

    Well, I've managed to get my tasks done without ending up on the deck.:D

    Emails not all done, but I've cherry-picked the more important ones - the rest will have to wait.;)

    Mr LW has just called to say he's on his way home.:T

    Well-Woofer vibes for Leo.:o

    Happy Birthday JackieO and have a fantastic day.

    :bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake::bdaycake:

    Have posh bread cooking in oven and carrot and coriander soup simmering. Trying out tear and share recipe using diced chorizo, passata and mozzarella so hope it is all right.

    DH managed to jigger both my tin openers so went out to buy a new one- Boy the excitement!!!!

    You do amazingly well and sound like a really good cook to me.

    Hugs to all and see you later.

    monnagran it's day 2 :D I'm chuffed, it's already been easier today than on Monday although I have had my head in my uni application most of the day. Fancy giving it a read for me when it's finished? I'm concerned my punctuation is a bit off.

    Fuddle:Thanks for answering. My knee has a nasty graze and a HUGE bruise. I have a knee support that is helping now. I have an awful cold which I think is the reason that I'm falling. My MS tends to play up if I get an infection.
    I'll survive!¬ :)

    Evening All

    Happy Birthday JackieO, hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoy your meal out.

    In-Service day at school, lots of mindless talking and then some admin. Paid for the skip on my way home (it's coming tomorrow), brushed my hair and teeth and rushed out to the hospice. Home, tea decluttered and off to the pictures in a while. Still, have Friday and Monday off for half term so not too bad.

    Need to make something for feeding the workers at the weekend (the ones who will be filling the skip!) so will do that tomorrow. DD is making lentil soup and has made biscuits.

    Washing started off on the line but is now on the airers, not a very good drying day but it stayed dry.

    Take care, hugs to those in need. XX
