What a week!!!

Well what an exhausting week it is turning into! After having a really rough week last week, ending with my visit to be examined to see if I am still able to receive my benefits, this week has not been a much better one! I am still in agony, and I have still got a headache, and as the weekend comes upon us, I also feel exhausted! I woke this morning full of good intentions, only to feel intense pain the minute I tried to put my feet to the floor! I went for my treatment physio, which in itself is quite tiring, then I went to the office and spent a couple of hours there waiting for Rich to bring me home! I have lost my confidence with driving, so if I have to go out of Rugby I get someone to take me! I haven't been to the office for a month, and they have really done some moving around and made a lot of changes too!
I did spend some time with Rich, trying to help him sort out his accounts, as it is coming to the dreaded end of year visit to the rip off accountants, who charge us the earth and do b****r all!!! I still don't get why Rich has to spend hours sorting through bank statments, marrying them with receipts, and we still get a bill of almost 2 grand a year for the accountants! What do they do to earn it I ask myself? Very little is my reply! Money for old rope as the saying goes!
Moaning over, it has been a good week in one respect, my lovely Luke has got his new car, a Kia Sportage 4 x 4, and it is stunning! I am so pleased for him, he is working very hard to make the business a success and he deserves this reward! Even better that it arrived this week is the fact that he and Abby are off on holiday next week, and on Monday they are going to Windsor and staying at the Macdonald resorts hotel, using up some of the timeshare points we have accrued, and while they are there they are spending a day at Legoland and paying a visit to the Warner Brothers Studio to do the Harry Potter tour! I am so jealous! I just love Harry Potter! Below is a pic of the new vehicle!

I have also this last week had some other great news, my other lovely son, Aaron, has signed on the dotted line and is buying his first home! I am thrilled for him, especially as he is doing it on his own! The only down size is it is in Leeds! But, we have to learn to let go, as a mum it is hard, because as the saying goes, 'Your children hold your hand for a short while, but they hold your heart forever'! I am so proud of both my boys, and the fact that they are both hard workers and are doing well is testament to their determination to succeed, and I also like to think that Rich and I have been a big part of that! The other thing that pleases me is that they are both very happy, something that makes me happy too! This is the link to the house that Aaron is buying:

As for the Fibro, that has taken a more sinister turn in the last few days, mainly because the headache and the 'Fibrofog' seem to have taken away my memory! Yesterday I decided to make a concerted effort to have the tea done for when the men came in (or as much as I can manage, lifting heavy items in and out of the oven is a no no!!) so I decided to make a cottage pie! I cooked the meat, put in the vegetables, cut the potatoes and put them on to boil (doesn't sound much but to me that is a major achievement) and then promptly went and started doing something else and forgot all about them being on the hob!!! Enter Jess, my ever faithful companion, my wonderful black Labrador, who kept coming in to me and was, it seemed quite agitated, and was padding between the kitchen and the lounge. In the end I got up and she led me straight to the cooker! I could not quite believe it, she was letting me know that the potatoes had boiled dry and the pan was 'popping' because the water had all gone - so Jess, my faithful friend, had saved not only the tea, but possibly me too! I have now decided that if I put something on the stove again, I will set the timer on the oven and then I can't forget! Oh and Jess, she had a nice big chew as a reward, and I gave her a little bit of the cottage pie too!
