    hi everyone,
    im in a private rented place. heating dont work most of the time rain comes in, damp and everything is falling apart, landlord is ******, envoromental health have been involved, spent all last winter with no heating and hot water and were doing the same agin now as its packed in again. i also pay £130 amonth out of my esa and child tax to make up the shortfall in rent, now having to choose between heating (galor gas bottles) or food. so struggling big time. all i want is somewhere warm and dry.

    Evening and warm hugs to one and all, seems an eon since I posted, with family over at the week end, then sorting out today, then snow, then panic shopping in case we ran out of cat food and bread, then the snow melted :roll:

    I hope everyone is ok, sore throats? Lemon and honey, I see has been wisely given out. I should read back, but I don't think I can.

    Still barking, but not as bad, last dose of steroids tomorrow, thank goodness, another 11 days of these one a day AB's, bloods, Drs, Nurses visit, fed up with it all. Anyway, let's make a cup of T.

    Hi Tony, how's you, things not hurting too much I trust. Don't worry, I am sure this lot of AB's will get rid of whatever is lurking. Will be SO pleased when the steroids finish tomorrow, my skin has gone to pot on my hands, they are split and bleeding, which is a pain, but, onwards and upwards.

    We've gotta stay positive eh? I'm sufferin a little tonight, too much shopping and cat litter is HEAVY, can't let my OH carry it though, apart from being un-gentlemanly (which certainly is not me :D ) she's got a bad heart so I've gotta do it...
    Need a trolly, reckon I can borrow the meds one next time? I'll bring it straight back, promise.. :wink:

    PS, I will go with you through the tunnel and hold your hand if you like..

    My OH carries the cat litter, for the same reasons too, that and I would fall over with a bag of Catsan on one arm. We do carry on, we have to. I get told off for pottering too much.

    OK, I will toddle through the tunnel, not happy mind you, will have a tonic water when we get there. Many thanks

    n040.gif off to take my own pills and sit warm for a minute, snowing like mad here, 2-3 inches in the last hour, OH has just had to go out and brush off the satelite dish, as the signal went.

    Need T and biscuits at the thoughts.

    Keep warm, stay safe and take lots of care. Hugs to one and all. XXX Bubbles
