Well, I got some kitchen cleaning and the downstairs loo done. Some laundry washed, dried, folded and even put away... but as always it is a work in progress.

I made dinner for DS and DD -- poor DH is doing his Colonoscopy cleanse again. I'll go with him tomorrow because he can't drive for 24 hours after he has the sedation. It just a routine thing that Americans do once they turn 50.

I popped to the shops for some fruit, veg and milk. I am hoping to be able to shop at the big base tomorow. But, I'll only be able to do that if DH feels well enough to wait in the car whilst I go get groceries. He wanted to go home afterwards last time.

My friend, C, popped by after she got off from work. She had a splinter in her hand that she could not get out herself and she remembered that I was Boy Scout Leader. So, I removed it for her.

Well, it is late and I'll need to be up early with DD and then to go to DH's appt.

Nite.

Hi Shanny,

I hope everything is still going well for you with the PPs. Do you have the phone app.? I think that would be very helpful.

can you not give him a nice warm drink with knock out drops in it so he can sleep in the car whilst you shop shop shop?

Ha! I wish. They make you sign a form that he will not be left alone for 24 hours! I did get a little bit of shopping before I had to be in the waiting area. It went well and if the one bit they took for biopsy comes back clean -- he will not need another for 10 years.

hello mel, good tuesday to you

Thanks, Illa. It was okay considering.

hey Mel, hope you've had a good day

It was okay -- the sun was out, things went fine with DH's appt. and DS was here for DD afterschool. No glitches.... even the A14 was clear sailing for once!

Mel

 

[great things]

[MrsPayne212]

That is actually very good forward planning. I have some cookbooks and have been looking at others -- but I am seriously considering a tablet to store and access my recipes, videos, etc. for future meals.

That sounds like a good idea actually I have just done mine in a folder but a tablet prob would be a better option. Quick question what is your rep power on the left?

And, it is another reason to buy a tablet!

I think my rep power says 351.

People can kind of rate you for being helpful and stuff like that, so the higher the number the more likely the person is to be kind and helpful thats my opinion anyhow

 

[Mishie089]

not sure how my rep power increases I get likes on my posts all the time but nothing seems to change ?? yes I agree great excuse to buy a tablet

Well, it used to be that people who talked to each other just kept giving each rep back and forth. So, they changed how it works and you have "spread your rep around" before you can rep the same person a second time.

once I stopped thinking of eating and eating all time, i woke up earlier to do some exercise, i cleaned the house everyday, i cook healthy meal for me everyday, i read a lot, i do a lot of things with family

I AM JUST HAPPIER

good luck to all

That is so very good. I feel better when I am on top of things, too. I need to learn how to self moivate.

What do you like to read?

And good luck to you, too!

I am sorry I misunderstood your question. I think Spangles posted a link to an good explanation, but just it case it does not state it -- likes do not add up in rep power. Thanks and the scales (rep) do. I think I repped you for something very kind and supportive that you posted, but then even if I thought your posted something fab... until I posted enough on other threads, I couldn't rep you again. Thanks also add up rep.

A lot of people do not know how to rep and never notice the Thanks button. I have a little post it next to my laptop that says "Rep" "Thanks" ? -- also, if you use a smartphone to access minimins, I do not think you can rep or thank.
