           I  think  I'm  loooong  overdue  totally  redesigning  my
            lifestyle. Sketchy plans at the moment but it'll definitely
            involve a tartan blanket and lots of sensible things out of
            the Better ware booklet. I might have to hire some staff
            and Damien Hurst it this year!

           I'm  too  ill  and  weak  to  even  put  my  Christmas  tree
            up! That's a ball ache. So "here's one I made earlier". I
            could have done a different fashion era this year. I was
            going  to  do  a  Cinderella  one.  Even  could  have  done  a
            dress tree for a pub or a club or whatever in keeping with

            to even pick up any of the materials and decorations you
            have  a  huge  pile  of  feels  rather  like  being  a  child  with
            your hands tied behind your back whilst looking round a
            candy shop.

           I reckon I ought to film myself struggling with day to day
            tasks sometime, so people can see how an ordinary chore
            can  transform  into  a  gargantuan  nightmare  battle  from
            The  Crystal  Maze  when  it  has  to  be done  by  someone
            with a chronic disability. I just managed to put a frozen
            dinner on. (Yay an achievement)

           However, it took me nearly half an hour, I stubbed my toe,
            tripped over twice, sprained my wrist, dropped two bags
            of frozen veg, (on my foot) got the freezer drawer stuck
            half way in n out and it took 3 separate efforts, (which
