    Smartie just watch that headache and nose, its why Ive been in A & E so much this past month and at least I was okay to have amoxicillin-I cant see that being good for you with all the other stuff. Start steaming now.

    Allergic to penicillin. Got to steam the wallpaper off... steam myself at same time??;):p I would say that's multitasking:D

    Oooo stick blender... I want one too!

    grateful... good luck with scan!! 3 scans and I still haven't seen bean.... EEEK my big tummy must be all that chocolate, cakes etc:eek::rotfl:

    HI all,
    please can i have a Monday and tuesday star.

    I wont be able to get a a bedroom star yet as i have half of DS1s stuff in there whilst we decorate his room.

    Not sure if i can ask ( so just delete my post if there is a problem-after i have got my stars , mind you!) but does stuff last from the shop where you buy everything 'flat packed'?. DS1 needs a new bed etc.

    Also for those who have chickens, has anyone got one of those posh plastic hen houses and are they ok and is the run big enough? Our wooden coop is coming to the end of its life and poor Mildred will be having to wear wellies soon!

    Thanks and love to all.

    Am catching up from Tuesday so apologies, I have had to go back and amend bits due to some revelations last night.

    Greenbee you are good with herbally/natural things, wondering if there is anything you can recommend. I am having terrible trouble sleeping just now, I have turned off my radiator in my room and only have a light duvet cover on, I never put my light out until 2.20 am and was back up at 6.15 :eek: I am the sort of person who can get by on 6 hours sleep, I really don’t need a lot of sleep, I am always up before the kids and DH when they are off school/work/childminders etc but the tossing and turning and waking every 15 minutes is really annoying and I know that it can’t be good for my body, last night I had a diet pepsi with my dinner around 6 then not another thing passed my lips. Maybe I should go back to drinking a bottle of wine at night, that way I slept fine :rotfl:

    Lady-L – Properly catching up, you must be totally drained, look after yourself x
    Greenbee – Hugs to you as well x
    Diva – Hope you are feeling a bit better now
    Toots – Well done on going to Concorde (I have no idea what it is though) and don’t anyone dare say it’s a big aeroplane!! OR is it, :confused: did you visit a concorde aeroplane??
    Soappie – Hope your not sneezing snot all over the screen. I am posting from work so cannot see your 3-bird roast but will have a nose later.
    tyadog – Welcome back, glad you are getting your life back on track.
    Dusty – Aww hugs for your DS hope he is a bit better now x
    Pigpen – Hope you enjoyed your stay
    Natty – Glad you are getting sorted with your lump x
    Toots 3 is still on holiday – I think I know who it is then
    Valli – Glad you had a nice break away
    HelenJelly – Good on you reacting so quickly, hopefully they will get him, poor wee woman.
