    You had your windows done! Makes a huge difference, absolutely.

    I'm glad that *some* provisions for your friend are looking up, but no effective pain relief is terrible :( hope that can be sorted today. I'm not surprised you're emotional .... you take care of yourself.

  • Beanie it is about you as well as your friend. Your preparing for a loss so just accept that you feel emotional. That's what separates us from rocks.

    A new low for me today.
    Wednesday is my yoga day & I pick up a friend on the way.
    I could not get up.So bleeping tired & stiff & sore.
    I tried to talk myself into getting up but to no avail.
    Even if someone had said to me here is the money for next window get up I could not have managed :eek:
    This diary seems to be less & less about my mortgage & more & more about me whinging.

    Definitely whinge away. It took me months to recover from my virus, and even last Thursday, when I did two separate lots of gardening, I was wittering on the Friday about not doing anything physical, cos I couldn't cope. We understand this stuff!

  • Beanie your body is clearly trying to tell you something. Try being gentle with yourself not just physically but also about how it makes you feel. And you aren't whinging, you're sharing. Whinging is what I do about cars.

    Sad to record that my friend now has very little time left.
    How cruel life can be.
    Make the most of every moment.
    Cherish every friend.
