    Oh this is ridiculous!

    I'm lucky quite a few keep in touch outside the diaries now. It has put me off posting too much here. Such a shame though :( I have had some amazing help from here.

    How are you Wannabe? I hope you're having a good Monday.

    I'm okay considering. I think the anti-sickness has stopped working as well now though. I haven't really moved off the sofa. I think by the time I feel better it will be back to another appointment and start all over again!

    I'm fed up of being 'useless' and feeling sorry for myself :o

    It will be a real shame if we let them win.

    Have you tried looking in Google cache to see if there is a record of it that you could copy?

    You're not useless just unwell. Resting on the sofa is the most sensible thing you can do at the moment, although I know you'd rather be busy doing things.

    So that's the basic plan for the next 6-8 weeks. Not much MSE things. I have the holiday at the end of March I need to be better for then! Or at least up to putting a brave face on and getting there.

    There's still some decorating to be done (bathroom/toilet/my room) and blinds to fit and carpets to fit. Not sure when this will happen but as soon as possible.

    It's good to have plans, but just do them as and when you can. When you're better you can start to move mountains again :)

    Wannabe, hope you have a good evening and night tonight. Be gentle on yourself.

    So sad about the diaries. :( If mine's still here I'm going to continue copying it onto a Word document. It's a huge document already and I'm only a few pages in, and it takes a while because of all the non-diary bits that get copied over and have to be taken out (words from side bars, that sort of thing).

    Cherry if you go to thread tools at the top of your diary and select printable version then it should cut out most of the stuff you don't want.

    That will make it quicker for you to copy and paste it.
