Breaking Through, Travelling On

Oh KC that is just horrible for your sis!

Fingers crossed she is now en route home!

Eek... did she make it home ok?

Aw, thank you peeps she *did* get home, and a few hours before dawn, as well, she texted me but is obviously on autopilot right now, so we haven't spoken yet

:kisses3: to my sister, she has obligations for today, so it'll be a while before she can relax. At least she's back!

I've been playing about on Amazon, buying an organic herb that has great detox abilities. It can be stirred in to things, so its easy to use as well - I don't want to create difficulties for myself, so this is brilliant.

Today, I'm catching up with myself after doing *astonishingly* little yesterday. I'm going to go back to what I used to do when I worked, which is to get the house kind of tidy and kind of clean by Friday morning, and then not do anything routine during the weekend (other than loading the dishwasher ) so that even if I'm not going out so as to avoid crowding during flu season, I can still find something fun and unusual to do at home. I know it sounds mad, but my health is currently so dodgy, and *doing* really makes me feel like crap, which is why I suspect lymph drainage and detox is a good idea.

Off to do some of that right now :j:j:j

Re your garden, have you considered getting someone in to help blitz some of it ready for winter to take the pressure off you? We have my cousin helping us today with one particular problem (a tree split last Sunday) but he might consider doing a few days to get us back on track. We lost so much time with my Mum's illness needing frequent trips to Scotland that it feels as though we are losing some of it and so I'm really hoping he will help. Ideally I could use him all through winter for 4-5 hours each day he comes to a neighbouring Village and I thought of you.

KC hope the remedies are helpful. I have been doing astonishingly very little too!

I had massive help from my brother in finishing off the cherry laurel, but none since then.

Trying to imagine it ... at the moment, to be honest, the hassle and anxiety about someone working on the garden would disturb me more than carrying on the way I am - I find it really stressful to have workmen, which is why I stick with the same building firm, for instance (and they're coming in to do a lot soon - repointing, loft hatch, sound insulation, lots of basic stuff). My brother can't come down here again. I think it's beanie's famous "plodding on" for now.

But thats really, really nice that you thought of me, thank you :kisses3:

I think our definitions of "very little" might be a bit different :rotfl::kisses3: but I *do* know what you mean.

Loooong talk with my sister, a walk round the block and then half an hour bagging a big bucketful of garden rubbish. Thats one binbag done, thankfully, and a few brambles uprooted before they had time to dig in

Plodding on is always good

Yup, nowt wrong with plodding!

Right, its got to be a bit of an admin day today.
- backing up the laptop onto the hard disc
- backing up some of the hard disc onto my *old* laptop
- renew my cat website domain - 123reg insist on payment via paypal, which drives me crazy, I don't *want* to do it that way, so the best option is to try once again to change my account details, and then pay by credit card just in case. Am holding and sending live chat message simultaneously
- writing probate email and cheques to my bro and sister; when they cash the cheques, it will only be my money in my accounts, thank heavens.
- Sainsbo Energy haven't taken the money I owe them (I owe them because they set the debit insanely low) so I need to faff about with meter readings and *more* emails/phone calls to crazy call centres.

22 minutes and counting for 123 reg, tho it *is* a bad time of day/week to call.

More later.



ETA I thought I'd cancelled paypal payments to 123reg. Their webpages say not. Done it now. More passwords updated and noted, with contact details of all sorts.

EETA paid for the cat website. Through a credit card, yay.

Very productive!! Fancy coming to do mine?
