I've been rough. Started last tuesday sneezed a bit ..... but just thought it was a cold coming back after i'd been out friday night and also going out on monday night in and out of the pub for a ciggie ... Anyway wednesday took a pack of tissues in with me to work - and i'd used them all by 2pm!!! Sneezing awful. Goes to sisters after work - it was her hubbys birthday on wednesday - and i took his card and pressie round. He was off work ill - cellulitis - and i just hope i didnt give him this!! Leaves that sisters - and goes round to the other sisters - she said she'd make my tea - and sweet talked my nephew into making me a brew. The crazy dog was there but he was limping he'd bashed his leg jumping off the window and sis had took him...

Dave and Laura, the plumbers, finished the bathroom at 1.30 p.m. today, Saturday. They have done an excellent job and I can't praise them highly enough.

I used to have a champagne bath, sink and loo (leaking for the last 5 months) with dark walnut panelling, vanity unit and loo seat, champagne cabinet and shelving, biscuit-colour tiles half way up the walls and gold coloured taps and fittings. I had dark pink flotex carpet tiles on the floor. When my late husband installed the champagne suite, 27 years ago, it was the latest style. Now it looked, well, dated and dreary.

I now have a white suite, with a shower-bath (with the wide, round bit at the shower end) a power shower and a clear curved screen. There's...

It's not been the most comfortable of weeks in fact it's been, and still is, decidedly uncomfortable. There's only one bathroom in this house and, since Monday morning, there's been nothing in it except a loo. Washing and toothbrushing has to be in the kitchen sink. Bathing and showering are impossible so it's been a strip-wash with a wet flannel - ye-e-e-e-uch!

Of course, just to make things worse, my body has had to get in on the act. In the early hours of Tuesday morning I woke up shivering under my duvet and no way could I get warm. After 2 miserable, teeth-chattering hours, during which I staggered out of bed to put my dressing gown on and flopped back under the duvet to carry on shivering, the fever broke and I started...

Chronic Fatigue CFS
....not an ideal way to live.....in fact not my idea of living at all...more like struggling at surviving.
The NHS say 'incurable' and if I hadn't found help from fellow sufferers
and ONE GP(NHS and private) in Wales, Dr Sarah Myhill, who knows how to cure it,
I might have been campaigning for euthanasia instead of food supplements

Every day I take a multitude of vitamin and mineral food supplements.
They don't come free. I import them from California in bulk - the cheapest and best I can find on the...

Moved to new house on 23rd October. Love it back down the bottom end. the neighbours actually speak to you, and it is so much quieter.

House needs quite a few jobs doing to it, but we are in, that's the main thing, and at least I know things are actually going to get done here. they have already done quite a bit. Finally got internet back on today, missed it so much for last 2 weeks, and not just for Accy web lol!

Main thing now is getting aerial sorted (Thursday), so we have TV downstairs, and waiting for landlord to put a gas point in the kitchen so I can use my oven again. Thought I was going to have to pay for that myself, but they are covering the cost. Have managed OK though, got a slow cooker, grill and such...but...
