Digital cameras, love them to bits. eBay is good for a bargain, mine was £25. Thing is I don't think we have a hard copy of a photo yet, there all jpeged to hard disk (Side affect of being wedded to a computer programmer)

DH has shaved his beard off!!!! He's had it for years and I'd forgotten what he looked like before. He grew it after he got Id'd in his late 20's and...hmmna hummna hummna

He's showing Ed how to make gravy atm. The delivery driver has arrived with my prescription and tea is ready so all is well. have a nice evening and thanks for being there

Oh I'm impressed you figured out what all my little smileys were about Ruby!

I am chuffed to bits, I found an old digital camera, with some loveley photo's of the kids on it It all still works too so I can hopefully get them on to the computer. If I can find the lead that it

Its great, as our new camera broke quite convincingly.....I will have to get DD2 dressed back up in her welsh costume, as I missed taking a photo of her!

Luda

RR Thanks for the offer but you and the other FLYbees do more than enough to keep my spirits up. Once my head is sorted out I can cope with whatever Boris trys to chuck at me.

I have always found the steroids hit hard and fast. My Neurologist is a bit anti steroids due to their cumulative effects but as i haven't had any for 2 years my nurse and GP feel it's ok to let me have some this time. TFFT (Tip try to time exacerbations with your neuro's sick leave ) I would like it documenting that Boris tends to get loose when Auntie Flo is coming or is here (bloody woman!)

DH is great in his own way. He does keep an eye on Ed a lot of the time for me and he does the cooking and bakes fab cakes. I tend to do all the laundry and cleaning as he can be hopeless and he couldn't FLY to save himself.

The problem is I DON'T give in and will keep doing tasks /routines until he yells at me to stop it and rest. Yesterday's falling off the windowsill being a case in point. (poor lad has come home to find me polyfillering holes in the ceiling, hanging pictures and painting wall. I've also fallen off an extension ladder while signed off sick ) Like all men tho he is very linerer in his thought process and lets other things take priority over his immediate family.

Oooh heck, Grouchy monopolises the thread about her problems/musings.

OK, so healthwise life is rocky but I'll get over it. Now important stuff

Jas tort Luda Bianca 3NAB IVC Dylsmum and Scatty A BIG HELLO from Grouchy towers to you all. I am going to catch up with the thread now.

Happy Easter Holidays.

I've also put another load of washing in...and folded several loads up.

Hello Everybody

Just popping by before I go and collect Ed. I'll catach up later

I've been to the GP and I've spoken to my specialist nurse and...

...I am having an exacerbation of my syptoms and I'm getting some steroids brought round!!!

Sod Minieggs, give me the hard stuff!

So maybe we can stuff Boris back in his box and I won't have a dicky leg (which today is pretending to be a hotwater cylinder in full winter lagging)

Been out all morning. Visit to GP, shopping at Tesco (always forget something ) Straight to the market in the next village, buy good meat and nice veg, Cab home (I can barley walk with a stick atm). Put away, call my nurse, call my GP, call the pharmacy. Have lunch (made during phone calls) Laptop time and sit down. (Phew)

Weather shocking here. Blowing and raining and I have to go out NOW to bring Ed home

BB(wet and windswept)L
