    Has Katie been around today? I don't think I've seen her.
    I hope she's okay.

    I did laugh and it was painful...but not as painful as when I bent down to pick a cup off of the floor earlier. OUCH!

    Although, my ribs do funny things when I laugh. It's like my whole bottom ribcage moves up and then down again. Very weird. :o

    Are you having to roll out of bed instead of sitting up? I broke a couple of ribs when I was a student at uni playing british bulldogs whilst drunk (not to be recommended) and I couldn't sit up in bed or cough or laugh or lift anything or go up and down stairs without pain for a few weeks. It wasn't really bad pain, but it hurt enough for it to be a real nuisance for a while and there's nothing you can do except as the doc says, take it easy and take paracetamol or ibuprofen. You can't really have a plaster cast on your whole body!

    Can't you practice some indoor photography whilst you're laid up?

    Yes I am! I'm also having to sleep with three pillows to make it easier! :rotfl:

    Indoor photography is what I'm doing at the moment. :) Going to see if Kay wants to come here to do some. ;)

    (((HUGS))) teapartymum, could the sleepless nights be the reason for feeling up and down?

  • Something that raises seratonin levels quite well is sex. very good for you in fact but men often snore after that too so is it a case of shes in the spare room before which is bad or after which is good as you get the whole bed to yourself:D

    Edit to say this was an answer to Ssssss post about snoring that has vanished
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    Morning everyone :D

    Randomly woke up about 2.30am and couldn't work out why, was really restless for about an hour, tried getting up for a bit, went back to sleep eventually but meant we all slept a bit later this morning.

    Going to try and make playgroup with DD2 this morning after taken DD1 to school, it's only a couple of hours but she really enjoys it. Think today is going to be a looong day - I am half thinking of asking parents to have DD2 for a couple of days but going to see how this morning goes first.

    Hope everyone has had a good (or at least okay) start to the day today xxx
