Last night of decorations - they come down tomorrow.
 
Lesley - I can now get into Aimoo, although when I have tried that My Control Panel thing, it has never shown the other two groups I go to in Aimoo, so I have no idea what is going on.
 
At the moment I feel more comfortable here, but I do applaud you and JB for the effort put into Aimoo - you make it so that even I almost know what I am doing LOL, but as I don't have everything uploaded to photobucket at the moment, I come here to post pictures of Hayden, whilst I still can.
 
But I have been offline for a few days really - what with Christmas, New Year etc etc.................and not being too well.
 
As you know I brought a Scottish cough back with me, from.....Scotland LOL, and it turned into bronchitis.  I didn't seek medical help quickly enough, so the buggar really got a hold of me...............also, other things didn't help............like having to go out into the cold to Christmas food shop, and having Hayden to look after and taking him out for a walk, I think I went out too soon.
 
Also, the fact that my washing machine broke before Christmas so I was having to hand-wash every morning, (heavy things like jeans, trousers, bedding, towels, etc were put into the bath the night before to soak and then next day, the water let out and fresh hot water and soap added...........very heavy things like that I trampled). then hand wring as best I could, then take it all out to the line to dry in the wind...........didn't help for a speedy recovery.
 
New Years Day was busy, I was exhausted by midnight so went to bed.  Hardly slept because I had a heavy cold coming on, except, it turned into a mild dose of flu.  Slept in fits and starts, unable to breathe properly, got up Friday and was wheezing, coughing, sneezing, aching from head to foot and was stuffed up with a cold......felt generally listless, so I spent Friday and Saturday more or less in my jammies and napping on the sofa, or watching tv.
 
Yesterday I still felt pretty under the weather, but I did have a shower and wash my hair, and felt better for that.  Today I feel a lot better............think it is down to some medication DH got for me, strong stuff.............it looks and smells like Fairy washing up liquid (for pots), but with a slight minty aftertaste............and how do I know what Fairy washing up liquid tastes like?
 
Well, actually, about 5 years ago when my new kitchen was being fitted, I had to wash my pots in the bathroom for a couple of days whilst they installed the sink and did the plumbing, so I decanted washing up liquid into a small container........then one day whilst dashing to get ready to go to work, I picked up what I thought would be the mouthwash to swill around my mouth...................it was Fairy washing up liquid
 
The man came to repair the machine this afternoon, it was still under the extended warranty we took out, so cost us nothing.  Apparently something had worked loose when the machine was in spin mode, because the whole thing banged and vibrated so badly.....................the specialised adjustable feet were not installed.
 
They used to put a big block of concrete into machines to keep them stable when spinning, now they use adjustable feet - mine had not been set up.........they are now.
 
Well, it's a cold night here, so I am expecting that for most of us, it is cold, and I think I know why................not pointing any fingers, but have you noticed how hot it is where Lesley is?
