    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hoping that the fact you haven't posted means you are snuggled up under the duvet resting as you should be. :) Take care - shingles is a nasty business.

    Thank you to everyone who posted :kisses3::kisses3::kisses3: I'm especially loving the discussion about the top half falling down if the bottom half fell off :rotfl:I',m coping, thank you - the rash is on my side, so moving around, even for the computer, is unpleasant when I'm sitting down, so I haven't really been online. But thank you all so much for posting, how lovely it is to come on and read :A (that smiley says "you are wonderful" on the list, and you're all wonderful, thats true).

    I made myself get out and have a walk, stuffed full of antivirals and painkillers, and felt much better, its very beautiful out there. I did the smallest thing I could think of (erm, my brain was rotting) and went to a local stream runoff point to the single gorse bush I know of, and picked flowers to make tea (I really want to do more foraging this year). And I took photos with my shiny new camera as I did - I'll post the blog link on here and facebook when I do it.

    The walk is all I did, other than admire my little tree (which I learned is witch hazel, finally, didn't know that before!) and watch tv - when I'm well, thats unutterably boring, of course, but when I'm ill, it delays the brain rot :p

    Oh, Saturday I *did* go to the tile shop - picked a tile to bring home and check out, but I asked for completely smooth, and therefore forgot about anti-slip surfaces in the bathroom, I might go there this afternoon to check out what else they have. No paid work I need to cancel today, thank heavens - sometimes I'm grateful for the oddest things, but thats certainly one of them right now.

    Yes! :j Thats exactly what I mean, thanks for that, the clarity of lists is wonderful - and I can simply re-prioritise as necessary (I don't quite get her No 6, about lists feeding hoarding tendencies - I don't see that as a positive, and I find the opposite anyway, it challenges hoarding and aids decuttering.).

    Thats it, really - I have a phone call to make (done one), I'll walk to the tile shop this afternoon as the weather's so good, I *might* tidy (but thats lots of bending about, and that means doing it slowly, and maybe do the blog too. Really, the most important thing is eating nutritiously, and resting, to aid the healing.

    Off for a pootle round the boards just now tho :)

    On your SIDE :eek:. If it goes all the way up and all the way down you'll split in half lengthways. Fact :eek:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    If it doesn't go all the way, do you flap open and closed when you walk? :eek::eek:
