    Ionafan, coping vibes for both of you; building work is stressful

    Thanks, Dusty - I take comfort in the fact that you have all survived yours! I'm just glad to be getting all the work done in one fell swoop so that I only have to clear up once, and relieved that the weather is staying fine at present so that we can live on salad and simple cooking and eat outside, ignoring the dust and chaos inside :p But at times it feels like utter madness :eek:

    If you have a few minutes sitting down with a :coffee:, do read the reviews on @m@zon :rotfl:
    The reviews are a hoot, aren't they?:D I read them while I had 10 mins applying my infrasound gadget to my poorly joints. (It's like ultrasound that the physio-terrorist uses, but not as strong, so it's safe for non-medical people to use, as in for self-treatment). Ionafan, gentle (((HUGS))) for you, btw, I sympathise totally re your shoulder problems.

    It doesn't matter if you don't do any flying I promise we won't banish you both to the Slobladies thread. I would consider that a fate worse than anything..lol
    Thanks, hun.:A I read some of that thread, and it made me feel sick to my stomach in places!:eek:

    I think we may be in for a change in the weather - my joints are worse that horrible this morning; *cries* I've had to take extra Oramorph, which I hate doing, and couldn't even put my own underwear on first thing (sorry if tmi - and yes, you're right, Mr LW does prefer removing it, but stepped up to the plate nevertheless.:D)

    My shoulders are making a strange "crunching" noise when I move, and hurt like bu88ery.:( Any the lumps on my wrists are bigger than ever.:eek:
    I'm falling to bits, I reckon!:eek:

    Anyways - three cheers for helpful OH's - I said to Mr LW that the loo needs to be scrubbed today, but with the best will in the world, I'm simply not able to do it effectively at present, and he's promised to give it a thorough scrub tonight.:A He really is the best!:T

    Anyways - my tasks for today (I've even had to abandon my own lists, as there's just so much I can't do properly at present) are making potato salad and cooking some sausages (veggie soya ones) to have cold for dins, make a gooseberry crumble (goosegogs from the PYO - I kept some back for crumble, and the rest have been jammed) and make a cake for Mr LW's lunch box as the cake tin is empty - I think a lemon cake, as we have loads of lemons.;)

    I'll also be doing a wax bath for my hands and feet tonight (no canine noses to investigate hot wax today).;)

    Right - I must attempt to eat lunch, then crack on with the jobs, they won't do themselves.;) (((HUGS))), sticks, spoons and posi-vibes are in tidy piles on the table - help yourselves.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Busy. Just wanted to thank who ever it was who gave me the tip about rinseaid in the dishwasher so as not to leave watery smudges all over our new cutlery. It's now all sparkly every time - which matters to me a the moment.

    HJ - OH healing vibes

    Just resting from Kosher gardening and got a text from fellow Governor to say OFSTED in Thurs/Friday - interesting as it is the new intake visiting and parents evening that day. Wonder when they will actually tell the Governors (she knows as she is a parent who got the email).

    Hey all

    Paid stuff finished for week, lots of flying to do although MIL has put a wash on and pegged it out for me :A so that's a start. Will go get babes soon.

    Anyway, just thought I'd let you know the Argos clearance is on, and you can search offers available in your chosen store :T I've reserved a fairy castle set for DD (birthday or Xmas) and a tablet each :eek: (Xmas) the binatone android tablet reduced to £59.99 from £129.99 so that is their main presents sorted :T

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Hot!
    Caught up mostly on list. Got DS to kind of do his bedroom. Asked DD about 1 million times to do hers. Gah. Told her that if she doesn't do it, I will put photos ofit on facebook and tag all of her friends in it :p. She got a bit of a move on then but her room is horrific!
    Lost an earring several months ago and found it underneath my bed this evening :o. I also found enough fur to grow a colony of cats from!
