Glad you're feeling better Keiss :j Just another thought, you said you use Paracetamol as pain-killer of choice. Do you ever use Ibrufen/Ibroprufen? I can't use them as they set my asthma off terribly, so just thought I would mention that too, as it is a known side-effect. Have you tried a nasal spray for the catarrh? I get one prescribed for my hayfever and it helps when I'm blocked up with catarrh

Nope...I can't take Ibuprofen any more. It didn't affect my asthma, but I did develop a stomach ulcer last year due to the Naproxen (stronger version of Ibuprofen) I was taking for my back pain, so I am off all these kind of things forever! Might investigate a nasal spray for the catarrh if I succumb next time. I probably should have gone to see the doctor...but have developed an aversion to them lately as I was seeing some health practitioner every week for most of last year.

Keiss 21: yayyyyy... glad you’re feeling better.:j:j I love the socks, they’re brilliant,:T:T which wool did you use?

Thanks Spoon, and everyone else...the wool is Sirdar Crofter Double Knitting (Bracken)...got it from Black Sheep Wools. Took less than 1.5 balls to make, so have enough for another pair...guess what everyone is getting for Christmas (that and hats/gloves/mittens!!)

Keiss - love those socks, well done.:T Is that crofter wool? I'm knitting a top in that ATM, it's brilliant!

Yup, you guessed correcty...great isn't it! I love the way it knits up in a lovely pattern Discovered that 4-ply is probably better for socks...and ofcourse sock wool...now making a fancier set of 4-ply socks...I do love knitting!!

Right, off to make some bread...we have had to resort to buying bread this week (:eek:), as I wasn't fit to make any...then a bit of gardening...or rather composting...the frost has done for the last of the courgettes plants now...thankfully I rescued the last fruits yesterday! It will be great to clear away a lot of the going-over plants from the veggie plots. Then we can spread some of our home-made compost over the free beds. DH and DS2 will be doing this..honest!!

Enjoy the lovely sunny day (if you have one)...still chilly here...only 6 degrees in the shade :eek:...so need to wrap up warm! Got down to 1.2 degrees last night...winter is on it's way!!!

Sunnylooloo

Jinty, any more jokes like that and you'll be banished to the naughty step:D:D:D

Have a lovely day - enjoy your lunch:)


Good questions, Nargle, we need to put our thinking caps on, I guess. The world's our oyster, the tardis can go anywhere, so... ideas anyone?

Hi all

Well I didnt manage a NSD on Friday we needed a few bits and pieces around the house and I did manage to get my cousin's xmas present which was a bargain as I had a £10 Argos voucher (thanks to a certain survey site!) and his item was £14.99 so I'm pretty chuffed with my bargain buy!

Yesterday wasn't a NSD either but I treated my soon to be here daughter to a cot mobile and I treated myself to 2 new items of clothes for my wardrobe which were both reduced so it wasn't that bad! Anyway I felt like treating myself! And my OH then treated me to a few new yummy mummy clothes :T

Today however is NSD so I am declaring this my No. 11 NSD as me and the OH are sorting the house out, cleaning, hoovering, washing, drying you name it we are doing it.

Hope everyone has a good NSD!!!

Ooooh, oooh, I forgot to declare today as NSD no 9! :j

LadyfromVenice

What day is it?

Sunday you say?

Where have I been?

Can't really say...........this whole time thing is just going waaaaayyy too fast. Spoon, can I borrow the Tardis and go back to last week. There was so much I needed to do and I don't seem to have done much of it.

NSDs? I think so, will come back later if I get the chance and let you know!

Anyways, I am now the proud owner of a blue belt in karate (with a distinction if you please *insert smug smiley here*) and DS2 is now a purple belt :T. DD has her first kickboxing grading this afternoon, DS1 will be going for his karate brown belt in the next few weeks when he's got his kata right (not bad for a 7 year old).

SIL went back to New Zealand this morning so tears all round again. Will probably see them again in a couple of years. Have promised to keep my FB page up to date (oh, just realised where all the time has gone ) and will see about getting Skype sorted.

Will go back through posts later.
