  • Morning All :hello:

    Very quiet here last night. Only one lot of T or T-ers. :confused: I fell fast asleep on the sofa at about 8pm. Woke up at midnight, went straight to bed, straight back to sleep.... slept like a log, got up at 7am. Still could sleep now. :eek:
    Still feel like garbage. My throat feels like I've been gargling razor blades... nice.... These anti-biotics are hideous. Every time I take one I feel dreadful. My stomach cramps and my joints hurt. !!!!!!. I am so sick of being ill. I think if the children had been at school this week, I'd have been able to just curl up in bed and sleep it off. IFSWIM. Instead I've been in the half hearted no man's land of the sofa.

    Moan Moan Moan!!! Sorry everyone, I'll feel better when I start cracking my whip! ;)

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Morning all

    Embb and SarahS - hugs and hot water bottles and soothing honey and lemon drinks from me

    This is strange. I have a completely free weekend. (Apart from the hairdressser who's coming at 6pm tonight) and I've no idea what to do with it! I have about 1 washing machine load to do, the living room could probably do with a Dyson but that's it really. I shall probably end up doing some writing! Weather's a bit miserable but it's not actually raining, just grey and overcast.

    Hmmmm I can't even decide what to have for breakfast :rolleyes:

    I can't imagine having a free weekend. It sounds blissful. I've got about 12 years to go before I can reckon on a few of those!! ;)

    Hugs embb and SS - hope you're both feeling better soon.

    DH has just emptied the hoover all over the kitchen floor!! I only asked him to empty the hoover into the binbag so it could go with the rest of the rubbish being collected today - he couldn't work out how to do it!

    We've got a rubbish collection between 9 and 1 today so been making a pile on the pavement outside - saves going to the tip!

    Right I'll crack on.

    Morning all

    Thanks so much for all your hugs, I know it has been said before but it really means so much when life is tough. Things are alot better today so hoping to get back on the flying wagon - too much for catch ups but will do a list in a minute.

    Sarah - what ABs are you on? When about 10 years ago I had the evil T so many times that I became intollerant of the older/cheaper ABs ended up with terrible stomach pains - like labour pains. I can now only have certain ABs and my IBS has always been much worse since. Take care hun

    Embb hope you feel better soon

    Lefthanded - DS2 and 3 both are and they are my floppy joined kids. Podi said that floopy people feel the cold more and DS2 is permantently in thermals and has really cold feet.

    Soappie thanks so much for your mail, I'll reply in a minute
