    Thanks Robin and In Need.

    I am taking acidophilus presently, double doses but trying to work this about 3 doses a day for antib is complex.

    I just hope this solves the problem. Otherwise it is X-rays, barium swallows and other things ......BLERGH,!

    So where have I got to this week?
    Some things are sold. Others haven't had a sniff. Would usually do a car boot to get rid of things but the weather is not going to permit this any time soon!
    So going to try different sales outlets then review and hope the weather might permit car boot if necessary
    Still every sale means it is more money in our coffers, onwards and upwards

    Not a lot more excitement to report here, still selling stuff via the bay of flea slowly. We have revisited some stuff in The Loft and rehomed it. It is looking a lot tidier up there now.

    Windows are STILL not water tight and I am strongly suspecting to be told we need them fully replacing. A huge chunk of rendering fell off which could be a worry from the point if view of injury. Some of the removed rendering seems to indicate the problem may be bad sealing around the most problematic window, goodness knows what that is going to mean! So now I have to wait for the man to come back. DH seems convinced he will be able to get up a ladder and sort it ...... Ahem!

    So aside from round 6 of antibiotics after a nasty reaction to the last lot I suggested symptomatic relief before I start these. As a Consequence I am suffering with disrupted sleep, dry skin, flare up of psoriasis, general not wellness that all contributes to Feeling like I am wading through treacle.

    And I managed to ladder my last pair of tights, so need to add these to the shopping list.

    So I seem to be chatting to myself here
    Update :
    Lodger flooded kitchen and bathroom. Unsure what the whole damage is but surely new kitchen ceiling. And solid oak bathroom floor. And bathroom basin pedestal.
    More expense

    Doglet is going senile
    Or trying to wind me up
    0420 starts
    Pooping on the carpet if left for minutes on his own when he thinks he should be somewhere here different

    And so
    More nasty snotty sinus infection
    Tired

    Enough for now ...

    It's not so bad once you get on a roll with fleabay. I pack things up as soon as they get a bid, saves a mammoth session. It does mean the kitchen is permanently decorated with sticky tape and brown paper...

    It is truly amazing what people will bid on. I have had to be utterly and totally ruthless with what has to go. And a lot are technical tools and so on that we simply will not use. It is blinking hard work to keep on photo-zing and listing and packing and then toddling off to the post office
    Q1 £536 - DONE!
    Q3 £2750 - DONE!

    This means I can get the work started and so the builder is coming on Saturday. Exciting and terrifying and a little sad.

    Sights now set on Q4 I need £2100 .... There is one piece of news to add to this it would appear that DH has some shares he and forgot about and so having has the statement about it, we think this might be achieved a bit less traumatically. Although if it does not work then we will sell a particular piece of furniture. Not something I would do if another choice presented it self but hey, this is NOT a rehearsal this is life!
