    Welcome Mila :wave:

    I have spent much of the day at the hospital with a swollen leg. The good news is that I do not have a DVT. The bad news is that I need to spend more time with my foot higher than my heart :eek: Yes, well, I will when I can - it's not exactly easy to sit at my desk with my foot propped up on the monitor :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I am about to go and obey doctor's orders whilst sofa surfing and watching the Olympics :D

    She's there, seems a nice place. She's first in in the morning. Crossing everything.

    Morning All

    Well I haven't got as far as I would have liked this week as it's turned into another busy one. DH has been signed off work for another 4 weeks so that really isn't good. We've got quite a bit of stuff ready for a car boot but we won't be doing one for another week so that's just making the place more cluttered than it already is!

    Valli - hope the move has gone ok and your sis is comfortable.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all
    Hope everyone is well
    Sending love and hugs to Valli you and your sister will be in my thoughts and prayers today
    Iona hope your swollen leg eases and you start to feel much better

    Went roller skating with dd2 and family yesterday, thought I'd remembered it well and was doing ok for an hour then fell backwards and gave myself a headache and a nasty gash so ended up down casualty getting my head stitched. After last weeks fall an now this I'm almost dreading what my third injury will be.
    Dr told me I'm on three days take it easy so will be doing minimal as my head still feels weird.
    Stay safe all
