....I just have it to do and have been looking forward to it for a few weeks. Tomorrow morning we are going away for a couple of days. now that we have central heating in the 'van at last i can at least keep warm. These little trips keep me going. the last couple of days i have been trying my best to help get things ready by hobbling round, bent double, cold and in pain. today the best i could offer was to go to the supermarket on my scooter and do the shopping. at least i could stay on it, not fall off it and ask if i needed help to find stuff!

i may not be on for a couple of days so take care of yourselves, keep warm and lots of soft hugs to you all. May your nights be spent in deep meaningful slumber and your days painfree xxxx

ps it is now 2.15 and still in slow AF due to wind. might try hot sweet water

Have a good break, would love to have a caravan to pop off to. Hope the weather is kind to you even though you have your heating, its always better when the sun shines. At least you can have a rest after your few days organising your trip.

Take care, Angela x

It's amazing how easily a lot of us are pleased, isn't it? My Mum is thinking seriously of trying to get us (me, her and my Dad) a short coach trip around summertime or just after. Hoping out-of-season will be less pricey and also my brother and his family head off every Easter, Summer, and October school hols to their holiday home in France and we take care of their two cats and their house while they are gone.

I was looking forward to a few day trips, or in my case part of day trips, out during the Easter holidays so the weather forecast isn't pleasing us any. Neither is the rush on the petrol pumps which will stop me topping up my tank to allow us to have enough to go on these little jaunts!!

Those who read and believe the hacks think we all are on 26,000 a year and take annual trips abroad to tropical destinations would be in a shock if they really saw what our real, "hols and trips" really amounted to.

Sorry to be so wordy, I hope you enjoy your little break!

would be nice to get that? we would all be happy. a housing officer once asked me why i have a van and not a mobility car. Not that it was her business anyway, but I told her i use my mobility to buy a private van (like white delivery van) and someone did the work for free. bnQ had a clear out and we got some cupboards for 50p each! used his old kitchen lino and some old carpet to line the floor and donated wood to make a seat/bed. he is not a carpenter and never worked in wood before but has done a splendid job. I did buy a toilet, showertray, sink, washbasin hob/grill and water carriers/pumps new because i have ocd. It is enough for us to manage in, and small enough to clean when i am not well! do i treat ocd or af well most times the mind wins and i have to clean, but if he is there he makes me rest! bless him!! xxx

yes thanks the tea did help a bit but still could not shower myself in the morning. we went to Lincoln and had a lovely time it . I did not realise it was so beautiful there. today had a drive round towards the coast but it got very cold during the day and we came back tonight.

I tried to cook tea last night and managed to burn myself! (it was very minor!) and the site we stayed on was fantastic. we will go there again. My new radiator was good.

hope you are all ok and thank you all for your kind words

soft hugs to you all xxx :)
