    I really want a pony now. I must be feeling good:).


    If it makes you happy then now might be the time to get another.

    Perhaps look at one that is not too physical a project.

    Very happy that you are so upbeat.

    A blue badge is an enabler it is not a sign that says this car is driven by a wrinkly. You may make them a 'must have' style requirement in your neck of teh woods.

    From what everyone says you are lovely.

    Thank you GDb.

    Back from doc.

    He said its time without doubt to apply for blue badge. I did say ip have been feeling better. He said, cheerfully, these things are often like Indian summers. What a way to start the day. He also suggested its time to check the state situation on entitlement even if we choose not to claim still. He said it might impact on care needs in the future...attendance allowance or something? I ran entitled to just in case at it said DH earns to much for anything, beggar off. :)

    Anyway, I cannot take oral antibiotics atm but he wants be to start using a topical one on my face every day. He was saying one of the problems for my doctors is I am too good at papering over cracks. So what the hell do they want me to do? Give in?

    Anyway, will be coming to London very soon to see new consultant, When I have dates I may be able to meet for a drink with some people? Depends on time and day.

    Right.....accountant next. ( I want to go back to bed)

    May as well apply and get one as you don't have to use it everyday....but sometimes you may need to park right next to something so it would be really useful.

    Oooh London, can I come...promise won't chat too much :o

    That's very kind of you :o

    Does anyone else here receive boxes from www.graze.com/uk

    I've only been going for three weeks, and I've opted for the slighty healthier things. It's much better than I was anticipating. I had something the other week with dried fruit which included lime infused raisins. Dried fruit doesn't really rock my world but they were amazing.

    I've just opened this weeks and one of the four is a little lemon and poppy slice with a delicate little tea bag next to it. I'm disproportionately excited by it.

    There's someone out there really putting some thought into healthy snacks and making them much more interesting.

    The problem is that I keep scoffing the lot when I open the box.

    I did the freebie intro one and decided that it wasn't really 'worth' plus a lot of it seemed to be the same types of dried ingredients dressed up as 'healthy'. I liked the box though :)

    And I pulled my decorative pumpkin and autumn door wreath out of the seasonal box.

    I went shopping earlier and bought weird stuff I've now got to use up. I decided it'd be a good idea to buy lemon curd, jam, golden syrup, sultanas and oats. My brain was thinking: lemon dumplings, spotted !!!!!!, flapjacks.... but now I'm thinking "shouldn't have done that: now you'll have to use them up"

    :j Yay, some people find me very annoying as I know I talk too much...but it's only because I spend so much of my life in total silence and a lot of my job is very 'solo'. That's my excuse anyways.:o

    I hope you can come up. I was only saying to Miss K when we 'cable-carred' that I wanted to try to drive down your way but I can't fit everything in...esp with the house now being half destroyed.

    Ground-works men delivered gigantic drill things today and we had to remove a fence panel to get them in. The new neighbours are very tolerant fortunately.

    I would have turned the heating on too...but we have none and are using the immersion again...which we keep forgetting to turn on.

    I now really miss having a kitchen....

    Love the flowers pic...I saw DS's one on the other thread and the colours were amazing.

  • Court today, and yesterday. I'm definitely not on holiday any more!

    OH is going on a meditation silent retreat for the weekend; it's Yom Kippur. Isaac and I are going to Kent, as my parents have been whinging about not seeing enough of Isaac, although apparently, they've seen quite enough of me, as I wasn't mentioned as missed.....

    My Dad's in Rwanda, but back tomorrow, and my parents have settled on a new London place, a flat on the Greenwich Peninsula. Which is making my Mama flap, as when they put their stuff in storage, they thought they'd buy another house in SE London, smaller than the old one, and there's too much furniture there for a 2 bed flat. They decided they didn't want the hassle of a full-on house in London, as they've the Kent house for being "home" and for hosting friends and relatives, so they've gone for a 7th floor flat with a roof terrace and views over the Thames.

    Isaac and I are going to be hard-working agricultural labourers for the weekend, which he's greatly looking forward to.

    OH got stuck in Birmingham on a case, and he's still there, I want him to come home!
