you could do easily 10 years ago ?

With me it is going up and down a ladder painting , and getting down to the skirting boards ( well I can get down , it's getting up again thats the problem lol). My knees are just crocked.

xx

Flutter my eyelashes and get what I want LOLOL

(except with OH) xx

i dont know about 10 years ago

but my dog benson refused to have a bath today
and i coudnt lift him in

Rose, can only do decorating jobs these days, that I can sit down for, ie.floor cupboards and skirting boards. Can't stand on anything to do higher jobs. Lost me sense of balance going through the change LOLOL

snap it realy get,s to me as i was a painter and decorater for 25 yrs . still like to think i can do it but cant.

Muffy I don't think I could ever do that lol

Joy is he big? I used to put my neighbours dog in my shower , couldn't lift into a bath .

I'm not good on heights anyway Julia...lol I am ok going up but nervous coming down :)

msc, very frustrating isn't it...the legs and back just won't hack it now .

xx

I know what you mean about the knee's Rose :~{

Oh ( Doctors orders ) I'm not allowed to lift anything you have to hold your breath to lift...if you understand what I mean ,so upper body strength isn't as good as it used to be.

i find it difficult to get up on a morning haha, but littlun sleeps till 9/10 so its ok lol, but i think its more the winter morning putting me of i have no trouble int he summer lol xxx

clean right through the house in one day and do the garden...lol
..
can't do that now..i feel worn out thinking about it.. lol

Run, do hill walking, climb over a stile, curl up in a ball to stretch my back muscles when they go into spasm, swing my grandkids round like I used to swing my kids...

But there's still a lot I CAN do...

When I get down on my knees I could be left like that forever if I don't have something to winch me up again! XX

dance on tables lol xx

err excuse me muffy was that before your pther way pmsl xx

Knees!!!! lol.I won't say what I find more difficult now.It would be whooshed !!!!
Kneeling down to clean the grate out is also a nightmare.There is nothing nearby to grab to pull myself back up.The dog thinks I'm just down there to play lol

Haha Jane I have often tried to lean on my dog to get up but she gets a bit miffed....lol

The* other way* is generally a last attempt Puss lol xx
