    I wouldn't wear your skates in the shower, as they might go rusty. Plus, you might wobble and fall over.

    Been quiet on this thread - is everyone ok?
    I'm thinking that it's a good sign! :)

    Me? For the first time in a while, I've had a desire to do something in the garden (hopefully today too), and feel better for it overall. A bit of satisfaction ....
    Letters inside the house piling up even more, but I WILL start on them soon!

    Diet is so-so. I know what I need to do and should do. It's just doing it!

    Still whistling & singing as I go about my daily business, but overall fairly well behaved I think, and polite.

    Take care all! :)
    I hope it's not too much of a strain, Sleazy! ;):D:D

    I've found plasterboard fixings that don't need drills and power tools.

    Made in America (land of dry wall aka plasterboard), there's a limited and expensive range in Wilko's.

    Wallbiters and Walldrillers.

    The drillers are very hard work, but I've managed to put up the the bathroom mirror that's been sitting on the toilet cistern for the past few months.

    Clocks, pictures and hooks here I come!
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    Yes, I knew! It's because MSE won't allow posts to be only capitals. The code for :D is : and D.



    I get round it by posting a couple of random words under them in whiteout, so all you see on the post are the emoticons.

    Afternoon my lovelies,


    Hugs and squishes and handshakes all round.


    hope everyone managed to get some rest.


    Well the last few days have been interesting. Doggy has managed to hurt himself. So off the emergency vets on friday night. Thank goodness for insurance as other wise we would have been £900 lighter :eek: No broken bones but seems to have damged or inflamed his spinal cord as he was dragging one of his back legs. seems better today but off to vets again tomorrow, for a follow up. Came back from the gym this morning to find he had wee'd three times in the kitchen. Not his fault and no telling off. But AM will be on his hands and knees scrubbing later:rotfl:



    Think I will be getting on to a flooring place to get some lino down. As its the same carpet as when we moved in 13 years ago!!!!!And with a doggy need to be able to mop up.



    I decided to look up an ex friend on facebook yesterday. We had a falling out and I had not seen or spoken to her in 20 years. Now I feel a failure as she is a project manager. She never seemed to have much drive or interest in anything. I know life is not a competiton but feel I have done little to nothing with my life.



    Overall I am happy. Great partner in AM, who thinks I am best thing since sliced bread. Now feel its a bit late and will never achieve anything due to MH issues that are holding me back to get out in the world and hold a job down etc.


    Everyone take care and have a good a day as possible.


    Yours


    Calley x
