First off I am sorry that I have not been around much. As you know Peter has gone away to work in Australia leaving me with a house that needed a thorough cleaning. This cleaning is about 90% complete now. Every room has a floor, almost all surfaces are clutter free and hopefully there will not be a huge amount more to do to get things finished.
As well as cleaning myself I have been paying someone to help me and he has done a brilliant job. Going to try again to claim PIP (the new DLA), for those of you who are not British there are many different benefits for people who are disabled. I currently have one (ESA) and can also potentially claim another (PIP) but we will see how that goes. If I hurry up and claim it then I may well get the wages for Nick that way rather than directly from the bank.
I do however apologise for being so busy all the time... I am trying to get on and have been reading everything that has been sent. I have not yet replied to it however simply because I am exhausted. I have a kidney infection that is playing hell with me at the moment... especially when the cold hits my kidney area... so realistically I need to be inside and resting but am not able to do this. I have too much to get done!
The labrador has been falling in love with Nick, following him everywhere and rolling over for tummy tickles etc... this is lovely to watch; however when he ends up rubbing up against a painted radiator there is clearly something wrong with him being such a stalker lol. He has also been taken for walks by Nina, another friend who has a Weimaraner (one of these). Rossi is getting on very well. On my birthday (7th) we will be having another friend's dog come to stay whilst he visits Amsterdam... Rossi best be on his best behaviour.
Now my exam is on the 8th October so I am ALSO busy revising (or trying to) so after this date I will likely be more able to spend time on here communicating with people. I am working on cards to send out... Hopefully these will soon be done, but again they are likely to be sent after my exam.
Hope you are all well... take care. I would post this as a blog post BUT I prefer the way the comments work on discussions.
Love for you all, and *hugs* too
