Fibromyalgia (part 2)

cwta were the same now, the days of Aiya Napa are long gone The area we're staying in on Ibizia is as far away from the noisy end as possible, it's really quiet and pretty except on Hippy market day when coaches come from all over the island for it.

I love Nikki French books, I went through a craze of reading them all a couple of years ago, I didnt realise she had a new one out.

We've got blue sky and sunshine here so far, but it's very windy, I just hope it stays dry for d/h today as he's got a busy day planned (hes a window cleaner) Im going to visit my Mum this morning, if I can get myself motivated. I rang Dad last night and hes on the home run, hes got his last Chemo today and finishes his radiotherapy next Tuesday, he's booked a holiday for 2 weeks for as soon as his doctor allowes it, his scan is on the 11th June.

Hi everyone.

Wild and windy day in MK today, but at least the sun's shining.

((((Sharon)))) always happy to listen to you, mate.

Suep, we're off to Orkney later in the month. We'll be doing the journey in stages; Thursday 28th we drive up to Perth and stay overnight, Friday 29th on to Thurso, stay overnight, Saturday 30th we catch the early ferry from Gill Bay and have a week on Orkney Mainland, then on June 6th we catch the midday ferry and drive down to Bannockburn, stay overnight and finish the journey home on Sunday 7th June.

Several people mentioned my cooking. Yes, CwtA, I have heard of takeaways, but Mr LW likes home-cooked food; and he's so appreciative of what I prepare for him that it's a pleasure to do. He does some of the work for me - anything involving sharp knives, for instance; he'll cut things up ready and leave them in the fridge, and he lifts things like the breadmaker and the food processor onto the worktop for me, and at the weekends we usually cook together.:oAlso I have a bar chair in the kitchen, so I can sit down to stir saucepans and that sort of thing.

I'm hoping to have a go at doing mushroom risotto for tonight's dins. I got Mr LW to buy a bottle of wine for the sauce yesterday lunchtime - I wouldn't be surprised if we have the rest of the bottle tonight, though.:p

BZ are you ok mate? You're very quiet.

:hello:to everyone else.

Lots of 'ugs to you, oh zippy one. Sounds like you've had a bit of a nightmare. Hope that all goes OK at the Docs and you and DF feel better soon.

sharon, loadsa 'ugs to you too my lovely. You vent away as much as you need - we're all here to support you. Have you started the counselling yet?

raeh, pcl's suggestion of the supermarket coffee shop is a most excellent one *bill and ted voice*. I also forgot to say well done for making the docs appointment (again).

sue I realised when I got back from the library that I had already bought the latest Nikki French in paperback, so I'll pop it in the post to you sometime this week (hopefully!) and you can take it on your hols.

I wasn't feeling very well when I was up early this morning, so had my usual two buckets of tea and then took a book back to bed and managed to sleep til almost one. Can't say I feel much better though - just a touch of the all-overs as MIL used to say.

lw, T'was only a joke about the takeaways. I think it's lovely that you and Mr lw work as a team the way you do. Must be love *g*. I'll have room for a stool in the new kitchen when I move and hope I'll be able to much more in terms of culinary effort - it tastes nicer and it's invariably cheaper when you do it yourself! Have got ingredients for a chook casserole today that's a fling it all in a pan and chuck it in the oven type-thingy. Would love you to share some of your recipes when you feel up to it or are they a state secret? *g*

Found a Tapestry of Mum's that is 90% complete and it's a beautiful one with coloured flowers so have decide to finish it - think she would have liked that.

Am having a very sedentary week and it's suiting me just fine.

Sharon, there's no problem with you venting on here when you need to! The only reason I would be glad if you didn't is if you were feeling fine and dandy iyswim. I hope it helps being with other people in a similar situation - you never know, you make a new friend! The things that they offer for the day is such a good idea - I hope you get to benefit from/enjoy some of them.

Apparently today is No Diet Day and yu can eat what you want without guilt. Fill yer boots lasses!

Btw Hassie I'm glad you had a good holiday....even if it was a little wet and sickly in places!
