    Sorry to hear you're in such pain Dragon. I hope it starts to ease off for you soon.

    Thanks Piq! The advantage is that I have managed to download my audio books onto my ipod so that is another task from my 101 done! also I have mailed through my draft book to Dr Dragon for him to read over - so another partial job done, oooh I like this challenge!

    Poor Dragon, but excellent news on the challenge front.

    Thanks for the support folks! The pain has diminished enough that I can stop taking the pain killers etc - but I now have some cracking bruises (Grommit!!), plan for today - clear the sofa, plan a menu, write a shopping list, watch Victorian Farm that I missed a couple of days back and read what Dr Dragon has written as constructive criticism on my book!

    Hopefully today will be a NSD :D

    Just catching up with you Dragon. How are things? I love the Victorian farm, was fascinated last night with the way she cleaned stains and how long the washing took..

    Aparently chores take just as long today as they did back then, even with all the technology we have now.
    Can't see it myself, I'm sure it wouldn't have taken me 30 mins to clean up all the pine needles after taking the tree down if I didn't have a vacuum! (actually I wonder if that's what made it blow up this week?:think: )

    Dragon, I'm always amazed at how positive you are with all that is happening with you.
    Things seem to be looking up slowly :)

    I know BOB to think that doing the washing for a family would take all flipping week!

    Otherwise weight is all over the show but we think this is because trying to sort out all the hassle from Dr Dragon's previous place of work is coming to a head! Pain is right up there as well - but possibly because of the same reason OR because the weather can't make its flipping mind up! :mad:

    The 101 challenge is fun - up to 7 completed and a load in progress :D

    Actually Raph I used to sweep the pine needles up with a stiff yard brush (cleaned it first I might add!) and it took hardly any time in comparison with the neighbours and vacuums!

    Thanks Raph - things are going well for you - did I see a DF date of the 17th on your sig there?
