We have workmen in at the moment. I'm not sure exactly what they're doing because as usual I haven't been told much. What I do know is that they're putting a wood burning stove in and they will need the floorboards in my bedroom up at some point to get to some pipes.

So in the day when they're here I go into the spare bedroom. I take my laptop and a book and cross stitch to keep me busy and have my meds in there because my mum and stepdad only know one of these workmen and although leaving boxes of morphine around where he can get to them would apparently be ok they aren't sure about the others so it's best to move all my meds into my bedroom. I'm not that suspicious of people, I'd have put them a bit more out of the way than on top of the drawers right through the door but would never have even thought about people taking them but my mums rather suspicious and was annoyed with my stepdad when she found out that some of the workmen would be people neither of them would know, she doesn't really like anyone in the house never mind people she doesn't know.

Sounds a bit bad that I couldn't manage to carry all of my meds from my room into the spare room all at once!

Theirs 2 matresses on top of each as a bed for me in the spare room because I can't sit for very long particularly now after messing up my pelvis and I usually don't make it through the day without a nap. I need to sleep when I get really tired no matter what time it is because if I try to stay awake my body falls apart more than usual.

Once the workmen have gone for the day I go back to my bedroom because the beds comfier and I have a tv in my room. Also until the wood burning stove is put in we have no heating which means the usually cold draughty house is freezing especially on a night when the temperature drops but it's warmer in my bedroom than it is in the spare room.

I woke at 1.30am and when I were still wide awake at 4am thought it woud be a good idea to take my book and cross stitch and whatever else I thought I'd want or need into the spare bedroom and then go to sleep in there because I figured I'd probably be tired by about 5am and exhausted by 6am so when the workmen turned up at 8am I could well be out for the count and it would be virtually impossible to wake me for a couple of hours and of course if that happened it would be typical that they'd want to be in my bedroom taking the floorboards up to get at the pipes so I'd be in the way.

So I started moving stuff from my room into the spare bedroom because they won't need to be in there so I could sleep as long as I wanted. The first thng I took was a clock that also tells the temperature. I knew it was colder in the spare bedroom but didn't realise quite how cold until I went into the room with some more stuff and saw the clock said it wwas 9 celsius! I then changed my mind and went back to my bedroom until 7.30am where it was still too cold for my liking at 14 celsius
