Ours is now about 10 years old but still looks good and we have to keep it tht way as we can't afford another one.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-4561583399853578112014-04-15T09:05:38.579+08:002014-04-15T09:05:38.579+08:00Kitchen should be done before Easter...hopefully.

I use it minimally as weight gain is my issue. <br /><br />Stemetil can aggravate blood conditions AND breathing troubles.... so I am curious as to it's continued use if you have been diagnosed with asthma and why only ventolin without a backup preventative such as Symbicort... I am assuming you had a bout of vertigo/nausea to have been prxd Stemetil in the first instance. I strongly advise a drug review Mimsie. I talk as a health professional.<br /><br />Your 'rights' this week though are heartening. Mine is mainly that the sun is shining and I have finally allowed myself to take a few days of doing not a lot. Here's to kitchen and flooring success!!

I no longer have the instruction sheet and the Ventolin canister doesn't have ingredients on it. I almost never use it anyway.<br />We had quite a lot of rain here last night, it was lovely to hear it on the roofs.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-14349704790000126452014-04-10T16:48:09.805+08:002014-04-10T16:48:09.805+08:00Yes, great news re kitchen and hopefully he will b...Yes, great news re kitchen and hopefully he will be true to his word.<br />Thanks for the good wishes re health - Phil will know CT results tomorrow afternoon (I will go with him to doctor's).<br />Seems it's difficult to win with tradesmen these days. So many rules and regulations but after all, although it is a part of your entire home it is only a driveway.<br />You are so lucky to have had rain which I right now would choose over nearly everything else. Days this week all about 30ºC. They keep promising rain but I thin they are just trying to keep us from becoming too depressed. Right now our skies are bright blue.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-36737333706945545772014-04-10T10:19:02.393+08:002014-04-10T10:19:02.393+08:00I am so happy that your kitchen will be done befor...I am so happy that your kitchen will be done before Easter. Wonderful news. And yes, it was lovely to see a new post from Kakka. I have missed her.<br />Fingers and toes crossed on the health front for both you and Phil.<br />We had some irritating news yesterday. The paver (finally came) to repair our driveway. He started. And stopped. And came inside to tell us that it was laid without regard to due standards originally. He could fix it - but there would be noooo guarantees. Or he could do it properly - which will triple the cost of the work. And his high and skinniness had plumped for the expensive option. Which will now start some time after Easter (weather permitting). And it is raining again today. Mind you, I will take rain over no rain any day.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
