Morning all, hope your foot gets better soon Faye. Carol I'm going to be cuddling my DGD today, poor little baby has a sore throat and bit of an ear infection and is on antibiotics. I'm so glad my DD got her to the doctors quickly, she's such a contented baby and really only cries when she's hungry so DD knew there was something wrong.
Hope the rest of you insomniacs get some sleep 
Butternut I think it is a spider bite. Imagine a spider biting me in the night...yuk. 
Carol your granddaughters look gorgeous. I have been enjoying my granddaughter every day and she smiles with her whole face...she is adorable. Next week I will be away for a whole month, she will have grown so much by the time I get back.
Good Morning - I'm up (and about time too did I hear echoing around GN!)
GA 
and 
. My eldest GS was 8 yesterday and I have spent less than a year in total with him in that time due to distance. At least I do see him and have lots of contact by phone and Skype - and with his younger bro and sis; I can't begin to understand how dreadful it must be to be totally out of contact with children and grandchildren.
Off to Ikea today
It's starting to get dark here and I am on my own so I thought I would watch a film while I rest my foot. The film I saw is called Red Dog and it's a true story set in the seventies. It was quite different, sad in places and very Australian, but worth watching.
I love time on my own jeni and for the next few days I am going to wallow in aloneness, bliss!!!
I still use Stardrops! Great for washing anything at all....though I haven't used it on the front step yet! (That's never on my 'to do' list!) I do know what you mean about not sitting down until everything's done - my mother had that instilled in me as well. It doesn't mean to say I'm doing anything worthwhile, though, in the meantime, apart from standing trying to remember what I was going to do! 
Faye Poor you. Might the pain be connected with gout? My late father had it and the symptoms sound similar. Take care.
JessM I had thought the site was quiet too and couldn't work out why, perhaps you are right Or we've all maybe got post Christmas/January blues!
supernana I do have arthritis in my hands and feet but I am very careful what I eat, no meat, no fish, I drink mainly green tea, eat lots of vegetables and greens etc, not very much alcohol, maybe a glass of wine or two ever couple of weeks. I am not over weight, I take no medication, I shouldn't have gout but my father had it and it was painful for him, far more painful than my swollen foot. If I do it's probably the freddo frogs that I love.
Faye I hope you go and see the Doc if it doesn't improve. My SIL was bitten by a spider at Christmas (his own fault) but went to the hospital as it was so painful and you never know with all those funnelbacks and hunters and heaven knows what else lurking about 
Gally I purchased some of that gubbins that spiders dislike so much. Since spraying some of the essence in the obvious places, lo and behold, we haven't seen any in house for yonks.
Faye.. I do hope the rest has helped your foot.
Thank you for the concern, my foot is still swollen and a bit sore, but my toes didn't have that burning sensation this morning. Hopefully it will improve, I wish it would go away. I have to go and check the cow's water, feed the chooks and should be moving some things to my renovating in progress cottage, which all means walking distances. Things to do and its getting very hot outside.
