Morning all.

Its very autumnal here today. Had another lie-in, its going to be difficult getting up for school in a couple of weeks. I've paid the credit cards, dealt with the post, and I'm about to have another coffee to warm up. I refuse to put the heating on in August!

Today I'm going to concentrate on clearing the laundry. Its chucking it down so having the TD on will warm the house up.

2 frogs munched today. Barclaycard closed (never used as I was transferred from egg and hate Barclays with a passion but never got around to closing the account ). Also sold the car so I need to go down and sign the docs shortly. Need to go tother direction and check re wing for my car too.
House looking grotter and grotter ATM. Still have camping stuff everywhere which will be done today.
Whilst unloading the DW, I got rid of 4 side plates and a mug which are scruffy beyond belief. Have also ditched 2 Tupperware tubs as they are not fit for food use. About to turn on DW then go and shower and get dressed.

Physio - waste of time, she said that too but I did get her to check that DS3 still needs his orthotics, yes, so shoe shopping to find shoes they fit in in a bit.

Quick pop to Mr W so boys now eating big lunches after football/before shopping
Just going to do a few more annoying little jobs, see how many I can do before 1pm when I want to go out.

DD1 back from her trip away so washing is on - what with her away and DS having moved out I was really enjoying the reduced washload...

How is she, after her epic journey?:o I suggest a couple of days of taking it really steady, even if she feels reasonably OK.;)

No door sausage, none needed.

Thankfully I have no need of door sausages either - I'd be bound to fall over them! (Says she who regularly falls over the front doorstep) *rolls eyes* We do actually have a draught excluder thingy - it's a furry snake that belonged to Mr LW's grandma, but it lives on top of a bookcase in the spare room - Mr LW likes to keep it simply because it was his grandma's, and I like it because it's rather cute and I like snakes.:D

Mr LW dusted all the large heavy stuff at the weekend again; but I see there's some nose-art on the glass door on one of the cupboards, so I shall sort that out in a minute (when I've posted this). Then it'll be all nice and clean ready for Patsy and Pandora to do their own nose-art on Monday.:D

Lists done apart from the dusting as we have a lot of paperwork in the fireplace which needs burning. Once that's burned tonight, I will do the dusting (most likely get DS to do it as he loves it!). Off out to garages now, TTFN.

Thanks for asking LameWolf - she coped remarkably well! There were a lot of opportunities for sitting down - and she took every one of them!

There were 2 telling comments - I got a text yesterday morning which said ' I don't want to come home, but I'm very ready to come home' - which made perfect sense to me. Last night she commented 'I couldn't have done this last year.' This really surprised me - as I can't see much of a difference between where she was health wise last year and where she is now - but obviously she can see a difference.

She normally helps in a charity shop on a Tuesday - she's gone in for a bit today, but much later than normal. They fuss over her more than I do. She WILL be resting up for the rest of the week. I've seen some of the photos - and the event seems amazing! (to be honest we hadn't made it out of York station before she had stopped to show me her pictures!)

LameWolf

CY I'm so pleased for her. Maybe it's not so much that her health has improved vastly, but she's gradually developed better coping strategies, and a better awareness of sitting down before she falls down, iyswim, and maybe more confidence in her own abilities.:o Anyways, I'm just so thrilled she managed it, and enjoyed it - probably because I can identify with her situation.:o

I've erased the nose-art; it is no more. Also scrubbed the loo and done the shower screen over with white vinegar. That's me totally pooped now!:(

The laundry mountain has been done, and everything has been put away except for the bedding I can't get into the settle because that's still covered with OH's film gibble. At least my pile has been disposed of from the dining room.

And I've eaten a frog. *polite belch*
