Those lines came from a song from the film My Fair Lady.. and it involved 'just a little bit, just a little bit of bloomin' luck'. She lost 'just a little bit' last week but hey, it was a loss, not a gain! She's lost 22lbs and has less than that to go to get down to her target wight.. yippee.
The numpty idiot arrived at 09.15am this morning, she saw his car outside, opened the door, went back into our bedroom and shut the door. She spent the day quietly in bed, last night our much beloved big cousin Bruce called, he had had the same proceedure and gave her an extremely good piece of advice on how to handle the pain, which strong pain killers were not touching.
So she slept well and just let numpty 'get on with it' or rather 'not get on with it'!
She read papers, answered emails, wrote emails to friends, cleared out in and out boxes, did some paper work, cleared out a cupboard. She had a stash of fruit and lots of water in the room and didn't see or speak to the men until just before 6.00pm.
She opened her door and went down the hall to where the front door was, of course, wide open, the floor littered with tools and saw dust (?) and said "What time are you finishing and what time will be you arrive tomorrow?"
The assistant who had never seen her before jumped as if she had shot him! God knows what numpty had told him about the 'dragon' who was behind the bedroom door and numpty was looking guilty, he knows that she is angry beyond belief.
"Would 8 o'clock be ok?" he asked, she replied "yes and shut the front door behind you when you leave please", she turned on her heel and went back into the bedroom shutting the door.
She sat on her bed and watched them go up the stairs. She waited a few minutes and went down to the bathroom to see what they had done, for these two grown men who had been here for 9 hours. Oh look, the time clock has been wired into the new boiler, then she opened the front door to see what they had done with reference to the flues. Oh look, they had boxed in the flue!
Well.. that's not very much work for two grown men to have done in nine hours, is it? Ceiling is gaping, not yet repaired, old flue in the old boiler room has not yet been blocked up, skirting board in the sitting room has not been replaced and the crumbly wall at the bottom of the new boiler cupboard has not been hacked out or resurfaced.
But never mind, because the surveyor is coming next Tuesday to measure for damp and she is going to show him this, for it is a party wall with the next door house and it is important that they are aware of the damage. So it truly was "just a little bit" of work that they had done!
And she ate 'just a little bit' today, after drinking a mug of hot water with the juice of a lemon, she chewed (many many times) a small amount of prunes for breakfast and had three beautiful pears for lunch, she drank lots of water but no tea. It is good to give your digestive system a rest now and again and she's does this frequently now.
Supper was a small bowl of various steamed vegetables and a handful of delicious prawns with lots of garlic and fresh ginger but to her shock.. horror.. she didn't finish it.. she ate.. just a little bit.
