    Froddington enjoy the course!

    Isn't this typical - I ordered something from M&S to be delivered today when I'm at our local town. Had Drs appointment at 9 (waited 45 mins to be seen as usual) then checked emails and no, my item won't be ready til 12. Just got back home and guess what - my item is in now ready for collection! It'll have to wait til tomorrow now as cba to go back there again.

    Quick cuppa then off to the allotment methinks.

    CY Oh dear, are you on Clexane/heparin? I had to do them for 18 months and they do make your tummy sore and bruised. Hope you soon get sorted on your medication x

    Yes, I am on heparin injections. Hopefully only for 6 months, so should be finished by the end of January...

    Spent most of this morning on the sofa with a very sad Tiny. He had some jabs yesterday which made him grotty during the night, meaning we were both exhausted come morning. Means I've been able to catch up on everyone's news, but the house is a tip. Have folded a huge pile of laundry, reading for ironing, sorted out the chickens and lit the woodburner but nowt else...

    Just heading upstairs to the master bedroom with my new lightweight cordless vacuum...ah, bliss...(yes, I know I'm sad) ;)
