    Work full-time again and dance. Would also like to be able to enjoy the snow rather than fearing it!

    Hi Legs,

    If I didn't well I would drive up to you and take you to Lindisfarne just to look at it...... We could drag Ange along as well cus she may not want to come :wink:

    The other answer would have been to be ale to at least try to get to open level dressage :roll:

    Luv

    Cris who wishes the weather would be kinder xx

    Hello Linda with the legs,

    I'll have to put the club and the booze on hold for a little while. I'd like to spend the next two weeks in South Africa. It's a lot warmer there at the moment and there's a cricket match starting on Thursday'

    Well if I did not have Arhur, it would not make much diffrence to me. My life would still be a tough life.

    I was virtually housebound long before he came along, as some of you know, I would still be in a wheelchair, plus a lot of other complaints that make me illand in pain.

    So can I cheat for a bit, is that ok???

    I would run along a sandy beach with my little grandson. To have pushed him in his pram, I have never been able to do that.

    I would have gone outside in the snow and joined in with my family and grandson in a snowball fight, made a snowman then come in for hot chocolate and mince pies. Instead of just watching from inside, wishing so much, that I could have been out there with them.

    Trish xx

    I love dancing of any kind, but don't get many opportunities. I miss it.

    When I saw a young woman jogging, I thought 'I wish I could do that' :(

    Then a reality check hit me. Because, pre-Arther, I wouldn't have wanted to go jogging/bungee jumping/para-gliding/rambling etc etc :shock:

    For me, I wish I could do the house-work like I used to e015.gif

    What really frustrates me is that no way can I now get down on my hands and knees to clean properly in little nooks and crannies, and I don't have the same elbow-grease when mopping the kitchen floor!

    Actually, I'm thinking of getting a cleaning lady for a few hours a month...... does that make me sound snobby????!!! Honest, I'm not!

    Mell - bring on the summer!!!!!!!

    Luv, Lynn xxxxxxx

    I can't wait once this snow goes it's comin, soon see we will all see the swallows back from Africa, once I see a swallow house martins skimming over our village and hear the shrill of swifts feeding up high on the wing, then I will trully know that the summer has come around again, and when they slowly and silently disappear off to sunnier lands in late september I will miss them so deeply it makes me stop and think of them and I hope and pray that I'm still here in the spring to see them come back and the cylce of life repeat once more. :cry:

    Hi Jackie

    I had a cleaner for 2 hours a week when I worked full time and when I was coping with 'arthur' and it was sheer bliss!!! my house has 2 grown men, 2 idiotic dogs, a busy nurse who does her bit but still wants to live and me - who has not been able to do a spring clean it at least 3 years!!!! :oops: :oops: So i would recomend a cleaner if you can get one!!!!

    If 'arthur' was not here, I would be working full time - I would be able to help my hubby with building our new home - I would be able to walk my dogs for longer - I would be able to look after my grand daughter and my children would not make me feel like an invalid sometimes!!!!

    not much then!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And today I did it.......

    I went upstairs about 9.30 to get a towel.........thought I have a shower.

    Looked out of bedroom window............Local farmers are having a shoot........they were walking the fields at back of house....

    Should I...........what the heck

    Put on thermals...........lined/waterproof trousers.........wool shirt........

    Not even brushed my teeth........

    Wellys on....................grab Dill and we off...........

    Well, I got home a 5.15.......................managed all day.....

    Marvelous beef and lamb joints for lunch.........at Farm House

    Home make cakes at end of day.....

    Dil did 6 retrieves......................2 of which were very special.......Throught 2 hedges and over a river.........with a Pheasant (no...not peasant) in her mouth....

    It was great to be back on the real world......well my real world anyway....

    Me.....everything aches......but well worth it....

    ANd Daisy Too the 7 week old puppy...............well she sulking bigtime.....being left alone all day....

    Now she's running around the house like a demon.........biting everything that moves.......actually and things that don't move.......

    Shall I brush my teeth now and have a shower...............or just sit here contented.......and hummmmm....
