    I need some help if possible - does anybody know a good website for buying ready made curtains?
    I need curtains for the lounge and its going to cost an arm and 2 legs to get them made (funny size) and will take 4-6 weeks! I will be scouring ebay but just wondered if anybody had bought online.

    Hi all,

    Happy Birthday to Mozzy and Skintscotslass, hope you both have a lovely day.:j:j:j:j:j:bdaycake:


    Well unbelievably, I feel loads better. I'm on a cocktail of various vitamins and supplements but I truly feel the mega garlic pill AllicinMax is the one thats sorting me out and fighting the bacterial and viral infection. Loads of info on the internet about it. For those who don't know quick synopsis, been feeling dreadful for ages, months really. Had a bad virus and was off work for a couple of days a few weeks ago.

    Then a swift decline, nil energy, felt more dreadful than I could poossibly imagine. Doctor said Post Viral Fatigue which comes under the umbrella of CFS and M.E.

    Tests showed that I'd had Glandular fever and other virus's were present also.

    I was really scared, my body stopped working, I was bedbound for a week, couldn't stay up for long, felt unbelievably ill, almost poisoned, I knew my whole immune system was being attacked, it was awful. My elbows hurt unbelievably painful and I couldn't lift a cup for a drink.

    DR visit again, another doctor and to be frank not really helpful, she basically signed me off for 2 weeks and said if I was no better then she was going to put me on a course of steroids!!

    I read what I could online especially around PVF, CFS and M.E.

    I started taking a probiotic Multibionta with multivitamins, Yakult, Co enzyme Q10, Vit C, Echinacea, Siberian Ginseng, Aloe vera juice and AllicinMax.

    What can I say, today I have been up all day, I have washed, cooked, shifted some furniture about, swept, hoovered and generally tidied up. This is me who couldn't get out of bed on Sunday until late evening.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm aching especially in my knees and arms, but what a difference. I'm so happy and I won't lie, relieved and still a bit in shock.

    I feel guilty for saying how much better I feel when we have folks here who are really going through it but I wanted to let you flyladies know that I think I'm on the way to being on the mend. xx

    Thanks for your ongoing support both here and facebook.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi ladies

    First post this week so apologies I havent caught up with the thread. Thanks to pigpen for the thread and soappie for the stars. Toots a massive welcome back you have been sorely missed, hope you are well on the way to recovery from your infection.

    To pick up on rach's term I have decided to take 'flying leave' this week. I was getting far too stressed trying to keep on top of everything with all the plans - less than 2 weeks until we fly out now :eek: and I still have loads to do and OH is away this week. I have 2 more pairs of shoes coming this week and another pair to go back and then I'm calling it a day on those, the flowers and cake arent ordered yet - had a quote for £90 for a 10" sponge cake, errrr dont take the pi55, like I'm going to pay that. M&S only charge a third of that.

    Anyway I'm rambling, I will keep popping in just to see what you're all up to but might not post as I dont want to bore you with my rants.

    Hopefully will fly next week before we go.

    Kaz x

    ETA So glad you are improving Triker
