    Morning all

    Hugs on your loss Greenbee

    Dusty - I know you're popping A-Hs but are you applying it to the bite as well? When I have a really bad bite, the nurse where I was working at the time put a load of cream on the bite then bandaged it up. And you'll be fine at the dentist xx

    I do hope Piggers and Toots are OK. Piggers hasn't posted at all yesterday and Toots didn't pop in in the evening - unlike her!

    I would suggest we do the living room again - but not what we did last week - I've taken this from a month ago - it was originally labelled for Thursday

    Morning all,

    Pigpen i hope you're ok.

    I think Ds2 is coming down with tonsilitis. He insists he's fine and wanted to go to nursery but i said no. He's got a temp, his glands are up and his tonsils look big. I'm also still not right i thought i'd be ok by now and am actually feeling worse than yesterday.:confused: As i'm off again i said i'd go to OH's house and wait for the windscreen repair man to come to save his friend doing it.

    I'm going to try and do some dailies before i leave.

    Soappie thanks i'm going to use your list .

    Moneysavinglaura, Pigpen usually updates the first post with the next days list every evening but she hasn't been very well lately. Soappie has found a list from a couple of weeks ago so she's posted that. If you use that one you can't go far wrong.

    Morning All

    I'm hoping by pigpen's silence that she's finally seen a Dr, if you haven't pigpen I agree with everyone else, you really need to (I know from experience! I ended up with 3 serious kidney infections in the space of 2 months which included a short time in hospital. I'm terrified of hospitals after my Poppa died from MRSA in intensive care. Dr's kindly waited till I was recovering to tell me the infections were as serious as pneumonia and I could of died or had serious damage if I hadn't got them treated! So please go see a Dr if you are still in pain. Take someone with you if you have to, I had my mum and a big fluffy dog with me when I went into hospital and I was 18 at the time!!! I got some strange looks but once the Dr's were aware of my fear they were very understanding, one even made a joke about my blood pressure as it was very high. Sorry to nag on my first post here, plenty of fluids like everyone suggests and try to use paracetamol instead of ibuprofen, apparently it can affect the kidneys)
