Done so far:

* slept in (annoying because I had plans for this morning, but I really needed it) yeah
* read the Sat paper to see what's on this weekend (markets tomorrow!! yeah )
* showered and dressed
* planned Christmas menu
* made shopping list for Christmas
* a small load of washing

More must dos for today:

* take antihistamine and inject Humira

More options for today:

* go shopping once it cools down and start on the Christmas pantry list
* TIDYING!!!
* clean up after plumbers (why do they always leave a mess, and bits of equipment here, as well as have something fall apart after they'd "fixed" it? All three have happened this time).
* make bed
* exercise (walk outside and post letters?)
* more washing?
* grooming - my hands want some tlc.
* plant more begonias, in a vain attempt to rebuild a floral border - fine in theory, but the cats keep sleeping there and crushing the plants. tongue
* paperwork & accounts
* prep more things for posting
* tidy garden?
* watch video and do ironing?
* put dates in diary?

We;re having Paddy cremated and his ashes returned. Mum chose a light wooden box for his ashes to be put in. We're not going to scatter his ashes cos he just wanted to be near mum all the time so he's going to live in her room once we get him back next week.

NCOT - wow i'm impressed at building a computer, i heard its much cheaper to buy the parts and build them than to buy one ready made. Mum thinks i'm really techy but i'm seriously not! I can fix basic stuff and i can google then follow instructions, other than that not a clue!

My bedroom window currently has loads of icicles hanging down, one is almost as long as the window! Its all starting to melt now, but its turning to ice overnight so loads of danger! I am not planning on leaving the house till its gone. I can't run the risk of falling over. Big news!! We had mail today!! 1st time since monday!!

Saturday TLC

* knock icicles off drain pipes
* have lunch
* finish wrapping presents

Choc-That is nice that you are having him cremated, when the time comes for mine that is the way I will go too. It may not be for a few years yet but I wanted the decision reached way before anything happens because I know I will be incapable of thinking straight then.
It is so much cheaper to build your own computer and you get exactly what you want for your needs(or so I am told :) ) Personally I wouldn't have a clue but ds frequently upgrades his(as in choosing the parts he wants) and when dh home they do the business. (9 times out of 10 when he is home one of the cases will be spread out on the table in bits lol.)
We got some mail today too although I am still waiting on xmas parcels to be delivered!
I am getting so lethargic and irritable being stuck at home. Gonna have to venture out soon but the car we got in April is an automatic(first one- usually have manual) and I am a little wary of how it is going to react on the ice. Have been doing lots of online research re driving automatics in snow/ice...I think I want my manual back!!

Yeah i'm still waiting on christmas presents coming through, i did get one this morning but still have a few in the mail somewhere! Plus i'm waiting for my Twilight Eclipse dvd arriving as well. Didnt get to see it in the cinema so rather eager to get that one, might try to have some popcorn while watching it. Been trying 'new' foods, apple juice is ok, but apples arent. I'm going to make a stew, and i'm putting all the veg in at the start so hopefully by the time its ready, the veg will have disintegrated. At least thats the plan anyway!!

@Choc - well, my dad will be doing most of it, really... <_<. But I'll watch and help. I do feel like, with a bit of practice, I could build a computer by myself, but not just yet. The trouble is getting the practice. Not many computers in bits come my way very often, to put it mildly.

As for it being cheaper, it is. I've saved about £100-150 this way. If I'd bought a pre-built computer, I'd have ended up paying £500 - this way I've got a slightly better computer for £400. Mind, I've just realised I forgot to add any speakers - whoops :-/ Those aren't an essential really. I'm not that fussed about audio quality and listen to most things through my earphones anyhow. But at some point I'll pick up a pair of £20 Logitech speakers, or whatever <_<.

Phew. I'm feeling rather tired all of a sudden. And I have to give my mum a lift to the station in half an hour. Think I'm gonna get a cup of tea as I'm also feeling a bit thirsty. Btw, it sounds like you folks (Choc and Vixen) have been far more affected by the snow than I have. In fact the snow's almost all gone now.

Anyhow, back later. Take care :p

Ending Saturday feeling morbid. Had a weird anxiety attack, which has partly faded but only partly.

Basically, for the last half hour I have been feeling as though the Crohn's has something bad in store one of these weeks/months/years. It probably hasn't, but I just have literally no idea what to expect in the next 5 years. I've lost more weight and have zero idea if it's down to the Crohn's or me just not eating enough - was at 90lb a few weeks ago, the scale read 85.4lb (6st, 1.5lb) today. I just can't tell. I don't feel like I'm acutely flaring at all, yet I wonder if I'm going to end up a walking, talking skeleton at this rate. I have visions in my head of an actual skeleton walking about.

Oh whatever. I'm finally over it now... :-/
