Looking after myself

It's that time again, my new poo test kit came in the post. A nice surprise when I opened it. The format for taking samples has been revised, it is now so much easier than three samples over three days. Only one sample is needed. There is a small plastic case with a wand inside, a bit like a mascara wand, from what I can remember, haven't used any for a heck of a long time. 

Wipe the wand over the poo, put it back in the case, insert in secure envelope provided, and pop it in the post box. Couldn't be easier. Those that have been put off by the faff of it all in the past, why don't you give this a go. It's a free check up, might as well, no excuses now. A letter is sent in two weeks with the result. Don't even need to go to the doctors. 

I have been known to forget dates in the past. The NHS send texts now, so that's helpful. But as an extra reminder I have devised this system. Write a note, pin it on the curtain, at eye level in front of where I am often sat, can hardly fail to notice it.

I have a desk calendar in front of me, but important stuff can often get lost in all the scribbling I do. Recording my walking miles, jotting down phone numbers, and keeping track of what I am busy with on a day to day basis. I am more likely to see these notes about one off important dates if they are not surrounded by clutter. What do you do to remind yourself of what you should be doing, and where you should be going?

Countdown time to 4pm, what little jobs can I fit in before I have to walk across the road to the surgery. Toodle pip.  ilona
