WOYWW #585 - Surgery Next Week!

In a bit of a whirl here as got a date for my surgery for my frozen shoulder on Monday for NEXT Monday! Eeeeekkkk! Had two days trying to sort it all out as the anaesthetist's fees weren't all covered by the insurance so haggled with her directly on the phone yesterday! Oh my! It has all suddenly become so real. I go for my Covid-19 SWAB this afternoon, hence reminder on desk, and will need to self isolate from household after that till Monday too.

Did finish off my LO from last week and added secret journalling on the tag behind my photo.

Did one of my jigsaws but the picture was all cracked so I have sent it back for a refund. I'd say it was diecut before the glue on the picture was dry. Glad it was just the 500 piece one.

Can't believe it takes 6 clicks of buttons to upload a photo and then one to add it. You can't upload a few and go back to add each one where you want as they disappear from upload and you can't just drag and drop them in anymore either. Then how on earth do you move them to the right place!!! It's doing my head in. 


Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #584 - Drastic Times - Drastic Measures

Well here I am back on the Computer (Long Story) and automatically straight to the new blogger and can't spot the legacy button here either (like tablet last week) so I'm going to go with it!!!

Managed to add photo but no idea how to move it, deleted it by accident but really glad of "Ctrl Z - Undo" on the PC!



I'm really struggling with this heat and go to sleep naked under a damp tea towel. Yes you heard it right. 

I saw a consultant about my shoulder yesterday (apparently Frozen Shoulder) and on entry to the hospital my temp was 39 C the highest the guy had ever recorded. I had to wait until it came down before I could enter! I sat with cool pad and mini fan - LOL. Question is, do I opt for the surgery as I've had this for over a year now??? Tried Osteopath, Steroid Injection and Physio over the past year btw.

Anyway, here's the draft of the scrapbook page on my desk. I know now it marks my LMP as it was 18 months ago. I'd struggled with extremely heavy and prolonged periods for quite a few years and had to resort to taking Northisterone once a year to just stop it all for a while. This was the last time days before I turned 55yrs.

It's left me with Frozen Shoulder loads of aches and pains and generally HOT with hot flashes on top. Even in the Winter I don't have heating on in my bedroom and the window open! I am SO struggling right now!

I have managed some scrapping in the slightly cooler times.

My Friend's live streamed wedding from the USA, back in January 2019, who knew this would be the new norm? My son's return to Uni in Year 2, I took him as my hubby was recovering from surgery.

Some stuff with hubby whilst son away. Some geocaching when we popped into a garden centre and I got this fairy half price in the January sale. The last time we actually ate out, so quite a moment for us!

Here's the  pile of goodies I got from The Works delivered yesterday. I used my loyalty voucher on-line but the reduction didn't show up despite clicking the button. Hence emails ensue only to find out it doesn't show online but is actually counted so I was charged less than it says - curious.



Think I best stop whilst the going is good (blogger speaking) and go for a walk in the relative cool as now hubby is up so I won't have to close all the doors and windows.

Happy WOYWW Everyone.

WOYWW #583 - On Tablet!

Our broadband went down yesterday at 9.55am and the BT engineer isn't due till 14th August (10 days!!!). As usual they blame it on our set up and will be sending a replacement hub today despite the fact that we've tried two already to the same effect!

Our backup wifi 4G mini hub is unreliable and extremely slow so using my PC is out of the question as it doesn't have WiFi, so I've tethered my tablet to my phone, with the backup unlimited data and attempting to write my page from there.

Add to that the new blogger interface seems to be the default now, and I have no idea how to add my photos...... Had to use Help as I didn't realise the options bar scrolled!!!

Oh looks like I've managed it, but this is so not easy. So let's just say I've actually scraped a bit. The end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, yup still a fare bit behind.

Can't seem to move second photo now and can't delete it either to place it differently aaarrrrhhhh. Oh my just deleted it by accident!!!! So added in a better place now! Phew

Best stop while the going is good.

Happy WOYWW Everyone
