Awake and up all night

I'm ok thanks, Shimmers. My condition and symptoms have been similar since late 2018. 2022 to the present day has only seen a very gradual increase in haematuria frequency but not severity. Physically, most of my decline results from poor motivation to exercise. Perhaps foolishly, I kid myself that I could claw some fitness back with a couple of months effort.  xxx 

Aw Shimmers  Like I said to Ray earlier, I really dislike my mates feeling rough as I care a lot about you all. Get well soon hon

There is one part of town I don't fancy as a murder happened a few years ago and another attempted one a couple of years after that one. Besides which it's too long a walk to the main shops.

With monster-in-law living within spitting distance now, murder central would be preferable! There's another town only a couple of miles away we'd consider so options open xxx

Well now you have got me thinking...what would be suitable exertion for a man of refined attitude resplendent in a smoking jacket and brylcreem?

Oh yeah, surprising development of the day, the floor peddling gadget I got for Scoots, rejected out of hand by Stressy, is being kept! They were even more thrilled to be told that the buttons lift out as they are actually a separate remote control.

My bargain was £6 in charity shop, looks as new and is £100 to buy.

Cheers 

Hmmmm so how many bathrooms does madam prefer and will the staff be living in or commuting?

Don't worry about me, fibromyalgia means there's probably something playing up and variety is the spice of life.

It's only 'new' stuff that worries me.

Cheers

That is a bargain!  The remote control is confusing me. Does this enable you to lounge in an armchair but have the peddling gadget whirring away exercising on your behalf?  I can't use any peddling or treadmill devices. Legs are too inflexible at the hips to allow raising my feet with any speed. If I exercise, it is by walking (slowly) or by waving dumb bells around. My top half still works fairly well. xxx

I didn't try the gadget out as stupidly I walked from town with it in a huge bag on my shoulder!! So when Stressy rejected it sight unseen, it stayed in the bag. I then looked it up on line to see if the buttons would be too complicated for Scoots.

It basically is a set of pedals.that sit on the floor in front of your chair. It promotes circulation so presumably it does whir the pedals at various speeds, maybe with various resistance as it works out distance and calories!

I think you do after all have to be involved a bit.

Cheers

Sorry Shims, just got kicked out again.

Madame's shopping list requirements are one bathroom and as few other rooms as possible - less cleaning for this old wreck. I've actually found the perfect place already but just a tad too soon as I've got a whole house to sort out first. I'm actually wondering how long they'd be prepared to hold it for a fee?  hmmm

Delighted to inform I've had a right laugh tonight and now got visions of Ray looking dapper pomaded to perfection xxx

When you say 'sort' do you mean downsize and declutter? Or sell? 

Hold for a fee? You buying or renting?

Nosey? Moi?

Cheers 

Do your ankles work? There are inexpensive gadgets that involve just pushing a plate with the ball of each foot 

Cheers

Well I've never rented before but decided to do it as OH and me aren't getting any younger and think it would be easier than going through the buying process again.

Yeh, I'll need to declutter first but think that's manageable, and then I'll get the house up for auction as it's much quicker. I know we'll probably make less than on the open market but we're not bothered as we'll be fine financially. I'm very good with money and know to stick to limits.

It's not like we're doing any offspring out of an inheritance as OH hasn't got any and my two are already secure. They're both my nominees for my private pension so they'll both get a decent wedge when I croak, and the sale of our house will inject a good amount into our account. It sounds simple but I'm always prepared for setbacks and think of ways round them. I don't panic xxx
