I'm off to the cinema this afternoon with my friend to see The Current War, so I will leave to meet her around 1pm, as I've got some errands to run too (posting some letters and picking up a prescription). Won't spend any money though as I take a drink with me and I'm going on my Unlimited card, plus she gets in as my carer, so it's all paid for already :cool:
Really want to get at least half of my list done before I go. I've continued with the bathroom in my first 20 minutes of cleaning and should be able to finish that in the next 20 minutes, which I'll do around 11am. I'll then make a start on our bedroom for the last 20 minutes of the day.

Best laid plans and all that - my mum has locked herself out!! So I've got to drive to hers (about 20-30 minutes away), let her in and then drive home - an hour out of my day I didn't really need. Plus she's going shopping and won't be back until about 11.30.0

Phew, pretty much done with my list. Full disclosure, I did combine the putting washing away with one of the housework chunks. I've got a load in the machine doing now so will hang that out before I go to bed.
The only thing I'm going to struggle to complete is the earn £10. Not surprising really as I've not had much time in front of the laptop today. I'm up to £1.40 thanks to a Prolific survey this morning, but haven't had time to do anything else since. I'll sit here and try and get some more in front of the TV tonight, so I hope I can get at least £5.
Here's tomorrow's list:- Morning meds
- Evening meds
- Swagbucks 2nd target
- Work 3 hour shift
- Clean animals out
- Do the ironing
- 15 minutes cleaning
- 15 minutes cleaning
- Earn £10
- Clear out 10 items of clothing

(BTW, the movie was a bit dull - dragged a lot and I nodded off in the middle!!)

Then I'm going to clean the animals out (should take an hour or so) and then get on with the ironing, which are the two biggest jobs I've got to get done today. Aiming to get those done before lunch.
Another £5 Amazon voucher from Swagbucks came in overnight, but I didn't make my £10 target yesterday evening - will try and get some more time on the laptop today.

Emzilla. I have been reading your posts for a while now and I just want to say how much I admire your positivity regarding both your health and also to life in general.
I am mum to a 50 year old daughter with CF and despite several other health and other problems too, she has a similar attitude to you. In other words, she just gets on with it and lives life to the full. I think you are both remarkable. I won't go into full details on here but please feel free to private message me if you wish.

Aw, thank you. That's really made my day- good for your daughter, 50 is amazing!!! She must really take care of herself.
I think the majority of people with CF are pretty much the same - ie there's not much we can do about it, so we just get on with it!! People in the shop always remark on how amazing it is that I'm going into work still, but to me I'm just trying to get on with my life in as normal a way as possible. I think if you dwell on it too much then it impacts your health negatively.
I hope your daughter is doing well at the moment - send her my best wishes
