    It’s most definitely been a day for hibernating. It’s awful. Pleased you’ve had a bit of a rest.

    OBL I am a bit behind on your diary , so lovely to hear your mum gave you some money I hope you give yourself a small treat with some of it. Glad to hear the chest X-ray was ok and be assertive about your swallowing issue as others have said. 
    Your dolls house is brilliant , how long did it take you to do ? How are your your 2 DGC , I forget how old they must be now. 
    I hope your joints stop hurting by next time you go to work. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Hi,I've just been admiring your new furniture 😀 Mums money has gone into the house fund because there isn't anything I really want apart from a nicer house so that will be my treat 😀 I'm not sure how long the dolls house took to build, possibly around 6ish months,I painted all the prices first with chalk paint then built it then started adding furniture. My DDs quite often get me some bits for birthdays or Christmas 
    My DGs are 2 and 4 years old this year,I haven't seen them since Christmas Day though which is a shame. DD1 isn't the best at keeping in touch sadly,I was phoning every week but then had a bit of a lull because I wasn't feeling great mentally and I haven't heard anything since my last phone call, no doubt she will be in touch when she needs childcare again 🙄
    Im hoping my joints settle down at some point, I normally have muscle pain so joint pain is a newish development ( well when I say new it's been going on since last year but not as long as the Fibro symptoms )

    Had to take the day off work today due to increase pain levels 😟  I took painkillers and stayed in bed until 11.30 then I got up but have basically sat on the settee all day reading my book which I finished. I can now start reading the book DD1 got me for Mother's Day,I opened it early because it came via amazon and I didn't know it was a present 🙄
    Nothing has been done in the house because I don't have the energy to do it. My chest is also very wheezy today which is making me feel rubbish 
    Tea tonight will be easy because I have a Quorn steak slice which just needs heating up,I just need to find something to go with it 😊

    Sorry you aren't too good again today. 
    Glad the X ray is clear though, that's reassuring at least. 
    Have a lovely weekend OBL. I hope you are feeling better tomorrow x
