Quit..rest ..restart . Diary no.3

AC hope you are feeling better. It's probably the new shoes you have. I was sliding about on the pavements last week and came t the conclusion that the shoes I had on are for summer pavements only or I should have to take up skating.
My kitchen is finished now decorated, new vinyl and a new roller blind. The vinyl was put down last century and was wearing thin in front of the sink. I had a huge dresser to empty and move so took the chance to have a tidy out for the food bank.( all in date but just stuff I don't use now) I also replaced my kitchen table and chairs with a smaller lighter set as the chairs were too heavy to move when I washed the floor.

Glad you got the kitchen sorted grunnie . It’s a nice feeling when you’ve done it . With my kitchen , it’s just the cabinets that need changing. I noticed the other flats that were advertised for sale and to rent ,all have same tiling in kitchen and bathroom .same cipboarfs also . A job lot . According to the taxi driver I was talking to when I locked myself out a couple of weeks ago, all of these flats were care homes . Quite good too apparently . If it doesn’t cost too much, I may replace cabinets . May find out next week

Well, my left foot is very painful. I’ve sent the personal trainer a text asking his advice about postponing Mondays session.
Walking slow again . Not happy . Just put sheets into the wash as blood from the cut on my knee went through the plasters overnight.
I managed to get to the shop ok for groceries . On ibuprofen .
P I t a .

Other than that, all good

Sorry to hear about your fall AC - but glad you were able to get up straight away. I had a bad fall a couple of weeks ago and got straight up. Normally if I bend down to do anything e.g. change a DVD I have to use the furniture to lever myself up - maybe its something to do with adrenaline or in my case feeling stupid but when I fell I was able to get straight up. I wear glasses and they almost dropped off my nose - I was more worried about breaking them than anything else!

Sorry to hear about your falls too Mrs. P,
Most of the time , I have been struggling to get up / tie shoelaces etc
Can’t believe how much I let myself go . It’s a case of sticking your bum out when you move apparently :rotfl: true .
I was beginning to make progress (especially compared to this time last year) . I’ll monitor the foot tomorrow and see how it goes .

I,live on my own so I guess it’s survival instinct mode that triggered in when I got up so soon .

When we get to a certain age , things are more difficukt I guess.:)

Hope you're OK AC!!

I fell at my work Christmas party on 8 December, slipped on a huge puddle of wine someone spilt - thankfully the 2 glasses of fizz in me helped numb the pain.

6 hours later in A&E I had a broken wrist - have been in a cast ever since - now that's a P i T A !! NO driving, can't cut food etc since then grrrrrr.... cast off 23rd January - can't wait!

Now that is painful! So sorry to hear about that Anna . Thankfully you’re ok . The waiting in a&e must have been horrendous .
I’ve only been to a&e for one day ( at 2 hospitals ) when I stood on broken glass. Soul destroying . Glad you are on the mend now .

Felt rough today . Had my friend over yesterday , and he helped me with recording stuff. He is good at keyboards/ sampling etc.
I had notions of getting rid of clutter and rearranging things in music room and bedroom . Can’t see myself doing that today somehow . Not a massive job , but something I shouldn’t ignore for too long .

Will be going to gym on weds for p t session . Foot is slowly recovering . Lazy day I guess.

I just got an email from one of those places I purchased stuff from online.
It’s blue Monday according to them. I’m not one to be miserable , but it’s not the most exciting day. I’ll call it grey Monday

When purchasing my flat last year, the sellers solicitors held a £200.00 retention . I had been informed by my solicitor to look out for the end of year service charges ,which are 30th sept 2017.
I have until 31 March to claim . I won’t get too technical , but the was a charge for £350 pounds for damp investigation into my flat which I’ve probably listed in my last diary.
So hopefully , I can get some money back . Fingers crossed. I received statement of service charges today and just made enquiries.

Just had my upstairs neighbour enquiring about a parcel being delivered . I obviously haven’t received it . Trying to explain to her and her young son was heavy going. Apparently it was delivered to the flat opposite , but they have no knowledge . I recommended that she tracks the no.on the dpd website.

Morning AC, any snow down your way? We had about 6 inches in Co. Durham, enough to get the combi snow plough gritters out in the early hours.


It was fun watching people trying to get their cars out of our car park and up the slope to the exit from our estate, nobody did any preparation and so at least three are now stuck in various places unable to move.
