My News Over The Last Few Weeks...

with thanx to chris for this graphic...

Hi everyone i hope you have all been keeping well. I hav'nt been online much at all lately. I am thinking of coming back to AOL after 12th Feb. I can't do anything as yet as i'm still under contract to Sky untill then. Although i've got used to Sky it still feels alien to me and i feel home-sick and AOL feels like home if you know what i mean. I've cancelled my Sky movie package that i had over the holiday period, all thats on ther is repeats and there was'nt much else worth watching either.

"ST" has been here on and off over the weeks and helping "?" to make my kitchen more workable and presentable for me. My kitchen sink unit collapsed as i had a flood in the kitchen 2 weeks before christmas and "?" had to lift my lino up to get it dried out, the shelf in the sink unit collapsed and the bottom shelf was destroyed, some of it had to be thrown out at the time. I called the council down to fix the leak under the sink and he ordered me a new sink-unit i'm still waiting for the new sink unit to come and to be fixed in which should be done by the 20/2. "?" took the old sink unit out and made me a base unit from the good bits and took a cupboard apart that i had upstairs for the base and shelf inside. I already had the worktop upstairs which i was doing my puzzles on, my daughter "SH" gave that to me a few years ago when she moved from her flat. Anyway, i cleaned it all up and bleached it down before i made use of it and i am happy with the way my kitchen is pulling together. Before, i had a table with everything cluttering. My wall cupboard was chocker block,So now i've got room in there for food as i used to keep my food and cups, mugs, glasses in there and i had one of my chest cupboards under the stairs to accomodate my plates saucepans and tins... Both my fridge and freezer ( both larder type ) are still in my hallway as there's no room in my kitchenfor anything else... It will all pull together once the new sink unit is in.

Aunt "D" has had her opperation on her leg to remove the cancer and had a skin graph. She said, shes in a lot of pain when i rang her on Friday and very sore from where the skin was taken. I have no news of how my cousin's wife "M" at the moment, all i know is shes undergoing cemo at the moment at The Royal Marsden Hospital in London. The department she has to go to was not destroyed by the fire that was there recently.

Health-wise, when "?" was doing my kitchen, he could only work roughly about twenty mins and had to rest as he got exhausted, then he would start again when he felt better and so on, but not so long when he had to use force.

As for myself, i've been doing my chores (mostly in the evenings), shopping ect... and i've been having some early nights. I'm still reading my SPOOKS book on and off that i bought before christmas.  I went long to the Asthma clinic at the health centre last Friday everything is ok and i also went along to the glaucoma clinic last Tuesday. I told the nurse that i was getting pain in my R/eye bad and some pain in my L/eye. It appears that my R/eye has got high pressure again and my L/eye the pressure is fluctuating normal to high and so on. The Dr said, they will send for me to have an all day appointment and give me tests every 2 hrs which i'm not looking forward too. But, in the meantime i've to carry on with the drops i already have... I nearly forgot, "?" bought me a lovely padded leather computer swivel-chair with padded arms and "ST" fixed it all together for me. Its so comfortable, its like an armchair sometimes i just sit in it and watch TV  instead of getting into bed.

Well, thats all from me and i hope you all have a great week ahead of you and you all keep well...
