Stressing already

So my wheelchair assessment is tomorrow afternoon,

I'm already stressed and anxiety levels are heading North,,

It should have been our 2nd inspection from the estate agents today (29th) John spoke to our landlord on Friday and explained what was happening,

Very nice man who has been here when health was better and we actually cared about cleaning and house work, In fact our neighbours and people who have been coming here previous knew how I loved my home and took pride in my self and my belongings,

We were told basically shape up by today,Or else?

so anyhow Hubby and landlord had a chin wag and he said just make an effort to show we were sorting our home out and got estate agents to give us until any time after May 14, (Thank you Andy)

So I ventured downstairs today and realised just how little storage (cupboards for stuff)We have and how much sorting needs to be done, My back was starting to feel better, Has now began to ramp up the pain again, I feel another flare coming on (Just recovered from a 6month stint)

This Fibro just keeps on giving ๐Ÿ˜ญ What the chuff are we supposed to do??? I still don't get it, 1 min I feel like I'm on top of this then I'm wondering where my rage pilllow๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Morning Debsdelight72 ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฆ‹

Iโ€™m soooo sorry hun. Question? Do you have very large storage binโ€™s available to buy locally ??? Orโ€ฆorder on line Amazon??? I am literally bum bound anymore in my wheeledchair. Very little mobility left w/o agony these days.

I have taken to placing everything in these large storage tubs so itโ€™s all contained can be stacked and is neatly stored until I can sort things properly.

I donโ€™t get stressed about the messy piles especially important papers too because theyโ€™re all safety stored. Opaque containers are best as they donโ€™t reveal the hurried disarray of contents. Believe me much quicker answer to your delimma.

Morning honeybug,

HAha The old storage boxes and huge bags (used to keep all the washing for launderette,

Those were the days,

I have around 20 plastic boxes with lids and around 5 of the bags, That's just my crafting stuff? Then everything through my bedroom door was pilled up beside my bed and before I knew it there's no space for crafting now as I cant sit up enough to actually do it so I started putting boxes on to my desks,๐Ÿ™

Cancelled the assesment for the wheel chair,I did a little more sorting downstairs last night and got myself into a state,

Back in my bed, Once again didn't listen to my body so hopefully I'll get a bit more ummph for later or decide I've pushed too much (again)

Oh great I am holding onto my garden bench waiting for my dog to do what she had to do, Instead of his she decided she would eat some plant I couldn't get her in time,

So now Hubby behind her with dettol and all the hard work with the rug doctor will have to start again,

I keep you in my nightly thoughts and prayers. Please pace yourself as much as possible sweetie.

Oh how little the healthy people can relate to those of us who truly do the best we can and it fails to meet their standards.

Best wishes lovely. Donโ€™t race instead pace yourself.

Love and prayers.

As a disabled person, you should be able to get help through Social Services. Give them a call and see if there is anything they can suggest for you. Don't leave it until the last minute.

Cheers, Midori

Aw Debs, I'm beginning to think it must be a fibro thing! I've never been so disorganised or clumsy in my life. I swear my junk is reproducing when I'm not looking!

I've taken loads to the tip but then all of a sudden there it is, more of the blinking stuff, so much I'm falling over it, it's like that old game ker plunk (think that was the name?) cause you always need the thing at the very bottom of the huge pile and the minute you even look at it the wrong way it's on top of you!

At work all the houses I support in are organised, clean & tidy, paperwork all in order and then I come home, totally exhausted and LOOK at mine with despair, hoping nobody comes to visit and just collapse into bed. Promising myself I'll get it tomorrow.

I don't even know when or how it happened but I seem to have turned into a "bag lady" there's stuff in bags everywhere! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Even my car is chokka with them, empty ones though! So, you're definitely not alone in your clutter ๐Ÿ˜

Morning CheetieCat,

I think with the house the wording could have been better.

Proper care and attention is not being paid to general "cleanliness" !!!!!!!?????

Chuffing butt holes, My home is cluttered from having too much stuff, My young dog (Lucy) is still using pads because for whatever reason, she wants to go out to bark at our Blackbird in residence and then come and pee indoors, and the old cat (Millie) indoors cat since kitten, She likes to pee anywhere she likes,๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ 

The older dog will go to the back door and have a yip to be let out ????

I'm hopeful the rug doc will get smells out of the carpet๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป,

I'm getting really tired now thank you for reply ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ˜ช

CheetieCat in reply to Debsdelight72

Yeah the wording was really๐Ÿ’ฉ! My 19 yr old cat is struggling to find the litter tray now & will occasionally use a bag or two And of course there's plenty of them for her to choose ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi sweetie ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—Until today I didn't know you could get a wheelchair from the nhs. So I'm going to ask my Gp when she's around to replying to me๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—
