Ibrophen for DD.

Do not use this stuff. When I had my endoscopy at Easter, I was shown the trace it leaves after taking just one eight days earlier. It was like a volcano going off. It travels unhindered through the stomach until it lays to waste in the intestine. That was just one. Imagine if you take two or three in a day.l

Use soluable aspirin.

Rants over.

Bed imminent. Spits demain. Virtually nil done to stock since last week - not weather for hauling stuff out and sorting through. Added vintage bits: Angelica guitar, Burberry bag and blazer, 2 hats, Hermes scarves, wonderful old heart-shaped spade with elm/iron cross handle, 2 oil ptgs after the Norwich School-Listed, by Royal Worcester's E A Whiting, 2 unusual vintage TG Green breakfast sets ....no super-zapping arm-prickling finds this week, but decent moderate potential. On verra.

1. This NZer loves her lamb, donc, little w8rs rtc cutlets, spring cabbage chopped with apple, baby taties have just been delicious.

2. Guttering up and working already, into new water butt - horrendous sleety rain this afternoon. Many stormy downpours and so, so cold.

3. Mr T for Spits petrol, 3 bags of apples and new nailbrushes[lgourmande, sophisticate: such is my Life] The 99p half price Galas are excellent atm - recommended. Found another '36p off next shop' tillslip in my trolley. Thankyou to whoever disdained it. Kept spend below £5.

4. Put the heating on today. Will go and turn it off now. I've been rugged up and wanting to do nothing all day but snuggle. Couldn't though.

5. Sutherland tartan wool braces ordered for beloved NZ Uncle's 89th birthday - mto, 3wks, so they'll be late for 26 May, but I'll ring. Still dallying with thought of somehow getting there post-Dublin. Bonkers woman.

6. As I dashed final sorting to car, made yet another instinctive apology for disturbance of birdy dinner hour as I came back through gate. Down on grass was the fattest little fledgey thrush chap, getting the hang of survival. I told him to wait as I slo-mo'd to a new bag of peanuts. He watched me, head cocked, came towards me as I kept speaking low. I gently tossed out one handful, then another. Encouraged, maybe, by swooping arrival of sparrow and green finch, he tucked in, too. I came in and watched from kitchen. Live long little fella! Just make it to adulthood for a start.

7. Another St Martin of Lewis moment: bagsied 3x£5 Red Spotted Hanky vouchers/Tesco Perks, for future train journeys. Did mine this afternoon:
see update-
'FREE £15 RedSpottedHanky train credit*
Anyone can get three free £5 vouchers via Tesco perks
Go quick
MSE update 5.30pm Wed 15 May: Tesco says it's had huge demand on this offer and although originally there was no end date, it could be pulled at any time, so GO QUICK if you want them.
'

pk - if you see bruising where pain was severe enough to wake you, please go to your GP. This is not trivial. It's important.
kittikins - re:your dissatisfaction with house particulars, I wondered if you'd kept the set which you had when you moved in. Could these be your template?
tealady - echoing pk. Thanks for link. Like you, I'm not sufficiently motivated to spend £1 for 1 serving. I eat unsweetened basic stuff of a morning.

At least it didn't snow here today, as it did nearby and around a lot of the country, I hear.

Au lit for me, up in 6 hours.
Nighty-night.

Totally agree with bop re:ibuprofen.

I guess I've 'ad it then.... I take 1800mg a day :rotfl:

(under doctor advice with 2 x omeprazole to counteract any side effects)

(edit - Tealady you may want to seek pharmacy advice, not sure how old your DD is but you cant give soluble aspirin to under 16's and they can have side effects... they give me stomach ache and can cause Dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting. Less commonly irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa may lead to erosion, ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding and can cause asthma attacks in people with asthma)

Pleasures

1. nice lunch jacket potato & coronation chicken (ald!) with salad

2. long chat on phone to friend

3. juggled money around to pay for DS new bike

4. sunny this evening and its warmed up a bit. Lovely sunset and no need to put heating on tonight... but have to admit I put it on for half an hour last night cos it was freezing ! (can't believe its mid may)

5. nice dinner of chicken kiev and savoury rice.... an old favourite.... thanks Frith for the reminder

Ooooh, which site are you going to near Reading, CCP? Is it a/the Roman one I'm thinking of? Have a great time

Yes, it is - it's Silchester I'm going to. (hopefully, anyway!)

A late pleasure for today - the first swifts of the summer have arrived! I love watching / listening to them shrieking around the roof tops.

(edit - Tealady you may want to seek pharmacy advice, not sure how old your DD is but you cant give soluble aspirin to under 16's up a bit.

Its rare but you can end up with Reye's Syndrome (if you're under 16)

Ok, ons the ibrufon front. I may just go and see the consultant and get the photo he took. When I first took it, I was asked what tablets I was prescribed. I said fobarn 500. The physio said I could walk with my leg missing on that amount. It seems since 1986, it has been dispensed ad hoc and at I'll. Freely avaialable!

No one talks of the side effects.

Yes, and foe, king of the Nora's I am in pain, but I do not succumb to sucking them.

Choice. Shifted up intestine, rotting under the undilluted poison pill, or easement through therapy, relaxation and get on with it.

The Beard has supped ale, quaffed and ranted.

No educationalists were subjected to a torrent in this freely available article.

My pleasures for today

1) Not a bad sleep. :-)

2) Went to town to see one of my school friends and her 2 youngest children.

3) Popped in to Sainsburys with no children.

4) Smaller son quite chatty today and he offered to do the washing up then started off the bread maker for me!

5) Had some lovely salmon for tea. Had it with a sort of broccoli and pasta cheese bake thing.

6) Going to listen to Down the Line in bed now. 2 hwb - when I drove to town at 8.30 this morning it was only 3 degrees.

Had a phone call from the county council this afternoon which was not a pleasure. Previously, I was told they would look through smaller son's reports including his very recent diagnosis report then decide if he can go to a school with an autism base. But now I have been told they will send their specialist into his school to assess him there. Well, obviously he is OK in his present school because he has specialist teachers looking after him in a class of 4. But this assessor won't see him in a class of 32, getting so stressed he walks out and hides. Just a few more hoops for us to jump through. :-(

2 more!

7) Getting all the sheets and other washing dried on the line today, between showers.

8) Listening to bigger son having a conversation with smaller son in his sleep just now. It went something like "C, we only have 2 days left, the men will have finished that thing by Friday" :-D

Chickenopolis
