    Ha Ha...I often feel like Im in a dream...or (nightmare)!..:eek:..
    I haven't felt too bad for the last week really, which is good.....I feel much more 'together' and stronger. I just hope this feeling lasts.

    One of my daughters is coming to visit this weekend, which will be nice as I dont get to see her very much now. So Im looking forward to that.

    The sky here looks dreadful, really dark...and we've had a little rain,.......no snow at the moment though...although my youngest daughter would love some.:D

    Keep warm everyone...although not too warm.;)

    Morning all :)

    No snow yet but very cold. Just got back from walking the dog, good job i did not fall over that many layers on don't think i would have been able to get up.

    Quilt on and off last night lots of sweats, going to get a soya supplement at the weekend. The tablet i have been on had been working fine until the last 2 weeks then who flushes back. Had been on dong qua for two yrs so think i need to change tabs.

    Hope you all have a good day.

    I thought there was snow on the car roof this morning but it was just frost. It's proper cold though I've broken out the chunky woollies. :eek::D

    Have a great day all, look after yourselves, I'm off to hoover the stairs!

    (I know how to live on my day off!) :p

    Very cold again here - so stove on since getting up.

    Hope everyone's well.

    Bronnie I know that trance like feel, I get that a lot & have to watch if I'm doing out dangerous, anything that could be dangerous if I'm not aware. Not nice being ignored in a shop though - grrrrrr.
    Hi Chatbug let's know how the supplements go. A homeopath always said that your body does adapt to stuff & can end up not working after a while so it's always best to have holidays from supplements, homeopathic remedies etc.
    I still haven't had any more sweats - night or day, so I'm really happy about that.
    Hope your daughter's visit goes well dogcat & she can get there - we always look at weather forecasts at his time of year & plan our going out around them.
    Jacks - don't do too much, enjoy yourself too - you deserve to - working an all.

    Keep warm eveyone.

    No danger hon - I'm just blitzing through it all as fast as I can so that I can sit on my bottom and watch the new Lovefilm the postie just brought me - guilt free!

    I'm feeling a bit weirdly tearful today (the cat being cute just made me well up!) so I shall do what I have to then coddle myself a little bit until the ravenous hordes come home.

    why do we get treated like numpties when we get to a certain age? last week I rang gps - spoke to nurse who diagnosed (over the phone) a sinus infection - I told her that I felt dreadful (like walking about to save on funeral expense). Nurse said I should wait 2 weeks for infection to go and I needed to "strongly consider" ringing up about such things!! This week still ill, doctor at walk in centre tells me I have fluid on lung and need antibiotics.

    Why are women treated like neurotic mard asses or feeble minded numpties??

    Ooh got that off my chest

    vwelsh - I think I'd lodge a complaint about the nurse, really they shouldn't diagnose as that is not their job. What a power trip, but not good when it comes to health.

    Hope you start feeling a lot better really soon as that doesn't sound nice at all. Keep warm.

    I'm off out to check the animals & get myself moving before the day's away.
