Hi all,

Thank for the good wishes--and honestly the day to day participation with the fence. I passed unconditionally.

Well done FPK :beer:

FairyPrincessk

Thanks. I got very little done today--a bit of tidying and a re-organization of my office but no laundry or weeding. Oh well. How is everyone? Wondercollie, I hope you're not down with pneumonia. How was the birthday bash Kez?

Floss

FPK congratulations, does that make you Dr FPK?

FairyPrincessk

Thanks Floss. Yes, technically it is Dr. FPK now but I'm not really the title wielding sort.

Do we address you as Dr when were cross with you then. I think it is quite amusing to call you Dr FairyPrincessk they look so incongruous. What are you a doctor of?

Popperwell

Wow...we have a Dr in out midst:) Some better news. We certainly need as much of that as possible.


In one of my "Sorry" moods. You know what's its like after being poorly. My chill/cough is hanging on...:(chest seems clear(Hoorah!)but I can set a cough away if I breathe a certain way which seems set a wheeze off in my throat. But there's nothing moving.


I awoke at midnight in a panic and had to get up. Laying in bed was not an option. So at midnight thirty I was throwing old food away from the fridge and into the wheelie bin. Some general rubbish too. And as the supermarket is nearby and within an hour it will be light I am thinking of going there and buying some bread and milk.


Then another quick tidy and I may have some porridge/fruit or cereal and fruit. Then I have a couple of repair people calling sometime during the morning to measure up replacement double glazing that have condensation between glass panes. And the lintel above the lounge window needs replacing. But in the letter they've spent it so it means a food as in lentil:p


I hope I can cheer up and not feel as though I am filling in time. I worry that my money will stop/freeze with all the changes via the government and the changes we are hearing of. I can't save but if I could I'd be penalised.


And I know either through choice(I decide)or the decision is made for me I will need at least two hospital visits which will result in an operation)I need what's left of my teeth removing(replaced with dentures)and a hernia so that is a worry too.:o Afraid they'll go wrong. Though quite common. Bit personal there.


Anyhow its another day perhaps I'll just go for a ride around on the bus for a change of scenery. Things always seem better when day comes around. I do have more good days than bad. And I am fortunate/lucky in comparison to many, I know in reality that is true.


Have a good one

Morning all,

Pops It sounds as if you have had a stressful night. I hope you're feeling calmer now and can get some rest. When there is uncertainty about the future I like to ask myself what can I do to prepare for it? If I'm already doing whatever it is then I think is there anything else I can do about it? If the answer is no, then I try to remind myself not to worry about things that haven't happened yet. You've proven yourself to be strong and resilient in the face of many challenges and I've no doubt those strengths will help you through whatever else you may encounter. Try not to wear yourself down with worry but to build yourself up with thinking of how far you've come.

Nursemaggie Using my title when you're cross, is that like when your mum calls you by your full name with middle name and you KNOW you're in for it?:rotfl: I think sometimes people get an image of me as someone with her head in the clouds because of my username, I can see where it sounds incongruous although I'm actually very practical. I prefer not to say what I study on the boards, but I'll send you a PM. It isn't that it is a huge secret but more that it is an often controversial subject that comes up regularly on the boards and I prefer not to use the boards to 'think about work' but instead to get on with normal life if you see what I mean. I also suspect some posters would be less likely to speak freely on the subject if they thought I might stick my big fat oar in and I really wouldn't want that to be the case.

My dad is having some minor surgery today. It should be fairly straightforward and only involves a local anesthetic but because he has other health problems they'll keep him in hospital overnight. We're all hoping it will improve his quality of life a bit. He is finding he can do very little these days and that is difficult for him. I've posted some magazines and biscuits as an early father's day present which should hopefully get there in time for him to enjoy when he gets home.

I made a new recipe last night--chicken in a paprika and white wine sauce with spinach. It was nice, but it needs some sort of adjustment and I can't quite work out what it is. Tonight's tea is pasta arrabiata with roasted aubergines. I'm planning some more tidying today, a trip to the gym and some preparation work for next week to move on to new things. OH's birthday is tomorrow, so I need to wrap the present mum and dad sent for him, write my card/make my present look presentable and I might pop out and get something for a nice breakfast for him. We're at his parents for a big lunch, so it should be a nice day.

Hugs to all who need them.x

FP - belated congratulations! You've worked so hard & been so focussed = thoroughly deserved!
Pops - hope you are feeling in a better frame of mind today - not sure about the dental treatment but DH had a hernia op a little while ago - very straightforward these days and made such a difference to him. Glad you felt you could share your concerns with us - hugs.
