Electric  Bill  up  for  the  4th  time  this  year!  Having  to
            organise  Grab  Rails  for  the  bathroom  post-accident  &
            start HRT - I’m officially OLD! Countless hours of my
            life  wasted  liaising  with  Redditch  Bollox  Council  AND
            trying to extract even a miniscule grain of sense from 3
            different  groups  of  Doctors  &  Consultants  none  of
            whom  seem  to  be  able  to  count,  use  a  calendar,
            understand  the  concept  of  time  or  ever  communicate
            with each other - at all - under any circumstances. Daily
            tasks  like  getting  to  the  Post  Orifice  and  the  Chemist
            seem  so  insurmountable  I  end  up  without  basic
            necessities,  late  getting  meds,  panicking  to  post  orders
            out on time... I’m seriously thinking of hiring a Helper or
            seeing if I can get a Support Worker (ironic as I used to
            BE one!)

           Who  does  the  prettiest,  smartest  comfy  pyjama  bottoms
            along  the  lines  of  Joules  /  Cath  Kidston?  Suggestions
            ladies please? I need soft, warm, comfy bottoms to wear
            at home on account of my Fibromyalgia etc. but I always
            want to look nice.

           WASHING / IRONING
           Does  anyone  know  a  good  place  OTHER  THAN
            Astwood  Bank  Ironing  Shop  that  does  laundry  and
            ironing?  I  am  really  struggling.  I  don’t  have  a  washing
            machine cos I physically can’t lift stuff up n down - in n
            out of a machine etc. - heavy, wet laundry is too arduous
            for me to heave up n down n in n out of a machine -
            even more so since the operation on my right arm, so I
