@janeg I bet my daughters boyfriend is a bit updet about the rain having just got there. LOL.

@Rawkaren Sausage fingers, I get that plus aching wrists, with horrendous hot flushes when my carb levels are too high. Its the achy wrists and hot flushes that have persuaded me to start being good again and get the carb levels down again.

@Manderley I'm glad you went to the doctor, sorry to here its a fracture though. Be gentle with your recovery. I know what its like to miss your regular exercise. I've only been to the gym 3 times since before Christmas and will be glad to get back into routine tonight.

I've been up way too early today, after yet another very late night. So I've done most of my housework already, plus cleaned out the deep fat frier and strained the oil. 3 loads of washing done and dried and sorted, floors brushed, just the mopping and maybe a quick hoover left to do, then I am off to my shed. I am going to have a tidy up in there (its a bit cluttered with my sons bike, received from my daughter as she can only take one bike with her). Then I'm going to have a go at making a giant crochet hook, to make rag rugs with. Then the gym tonight.

@julieathome Yes you are right. Hot flushes back last night! I also forgot the runny nose (rhinitis). I think I'm a bit gluten intolerant. Thankfully sausage fingers subsiding now and water flowing nicely............. thank you!

@manderley Sorry to hear its a fracture. I'm also glad you went to get it looked at properly. Take care

Oh, Manderley, what bad luck, a break! Hope you are going to take things easy til it heals.

Penny, sounds like the new 'baby' is settling in, how lovely is a puppy?

Rawkaren,I also never realised there was such a thing as carb flu! will pay more attention in future! thanks for that

Hmmm! the rhinitis has also flared up this past 2 weeks as well. I have always wondered if its wheat or milk based. I can give up wheat, but not my cheese.

I have just had the brilliant news that my daughter has passed her driving test 10 minutes ago. She only started lessons in late December, passed her theory last week and passed her test today. Brilliant daughter and brilliant 'crash course' instructor. My eldest is going to put her on his insurance for the rest of the month and take her driving every chance she gets, just to get some experience in. This month is running away with me, only 3 weeks and I'll be saying goodbye to her.

YAY! Well done Jade! That is such good news and you have to engage proud mammy mode!

@janeg can you recommend a car hire company for her for the first month? Just a little run around that won't break down.

I'll have a look and PM you

Thanks for your kind words
Don't worry, it's not that bad, just a bit annoying, it could have been much much worse when I think of it, like falling down the stairs head first for example

Bought my 1st coconut oil jar ever and will try bullet proof coffee in a minute. A bit worried though as I hate coconut taste, even if it smells heavenly....

Blend it Manderley and maybe add a little butter too. It will go frothy. If you just let it melt, you get a nasty oil slick on the top

We are starting clicker training today. Positive reinforcement; she does what she's told, click, treat! She'll be a very well behaved dog!
Vet tomorrow for quick check up.

Ooh give me a treat and I can be well behaved too!

@minsmum I'll have to send you out into the garden to do your business as well then

Grrrrrrr!

Oh the joys of puppy training, I've forgotten all about that! @Manderley my Minnie is just the same. You can't even touch the Hoover without her leaping out from her bed somewhere in the house to have a really big bark! She's so funny!

@PennyForthem will there be any piccies available soon?

I don't want to clog up this thread with too many pics,@nursebean, so I'll put some on my blog, when I've got some more - is that OK?
