  • Budgie - I have to say, I would be doing the same in your situation. Nothing is more important than your health and wellbeing. It is not worth the risk of suffering the allergic reaction again. Even without the reaction I would be chucking stuff out. Happiness and health are FAR more important than a few clothes and electrical bits. If DH doesn't understand .... stick some itching powder down his pants :D ... He might change his mind ;)

    Jo, was thinking the same as you regarding the thigh boots ;)

    Budgie, I can totally get where you are coming from, I suffer really badly with hay fever and have been told by doctors that if you get a bad allergy attack it affects your whole central nervous system which is pretty bloomin miserable....I hope you are including the cost to replace all those items in your compensation claim hun....Hope you start to feel better soon...it's amazing how you are still thinkingo of others when you have lots going on yourself you really are a :A

    My hayfever has often led me in the past to drink more to sort of 'numb' it but I have realised in the last couple of years that it actually makes it a whole lot worse :eek:

    My dd2 (2 by 45 mins) is still a bit poorly, she seems to have a chest problem and is worse when she goes to sleep, she keeps waking up and sort of retching, so I might have to take her to the docs tomorrow, she is sitting on my bed though at the moment not looking at all tired :eek: and is now passing me a 'pretend ice cream' which is making me fancy some nice treat.....

    Ok guys,

    A couple of things:

    My thigh boots were suede and looked nice with my leggings and my boho tops. May they sadly rest in peace :A Gone but not forgotten.

    Another point is that: I think that my dear 40sm, because we are of the same era, this is for you:

    You are all so wonderful, is it not strange that we set such store by people that we know only by a user name? I hope that I am always open and honest that is why I think I connect with certain members. Hey guys you know who you are, and that I think the world of you?

    I have had a pm with our lovely 40sm and would it not be great to meet up at some point? Hey in the future a nursing home or something? Only joking :rotfl:

    Ok so not that far away but even so ..................

    And just to share I was a massive Knots Landing fan back in the 80s, I just wondered if you were too? Ok guys if you remember then share the memories, if you are man?woman enough?

    Budgie lays down the dare ................................

    Budgie says love you guys xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi everyone,

    I seem to have spent the weekend under the wagon. Won't make my June target now but can get to 13 out of 14 if I have two more AFDs. 40SM, that's still 11/14 for me thanks.

    Jo, please can you put me down for 16 in June.

    Feel very hungover at the mo. Want to write profound thoughts on the last 5 pages of posts but I'm not up to it right now.
