  • I love that dress - those prices are amazing so it really is "step away from the computer!"

    Mum has rhuematoid and she does not get many colds, just hope the consultant is as amazing as hers. She leads a very full life and If she suddenly goes down hill and can hardly walk he soon has her back up and running, in fact she is much more active than my dad who has !!!!!! all wrong with him but takes to his bed each afternoon - mind you mum enjoys the peace and quiet so maybe she encourages him :D

    Lovely dress KC, you'll be the belle of the ball :)

    I think there's something in the air, have a bit of a throat thing starting which I must have caught off a sick colleague after chatting on MSN, lol. Must get rid of it asap, am going out to the flicks tomorrow with MrA, wouldn't want to miss that!!

    Ah, those virtual bugs! I don't think I'll be the belle of the ball - its a *very* posh do - but I don't want to be the poor rellie either .... I think it will be fine.

    As for the rheumatoid - one thing that stands out from the literature is how individual the symptoms are ... I'm really hoping I can get some help somewhere.

    Beautiful dress KC and bling will dress it up nicely too. I love it in the purple on the row above too. You are a bad influence. Stepping away from the keyboard now.:)

    Hope that you caught the lurgy in time. I too am sat at my work computer sniffling and feeling sorry for myself.

    Thanks Ellidee - I take echinacea all the time recently, its one of my supplements....

    Um KC I read somewhere that if you have a disease that suppresses your immune system you shouldn't take echinacea as it makes the disease worse
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    The purple's a bit too strong for my skin colour, but it is lovely, isn't it! Sorry you've got the lurgy too ...

    I've read that too - because it works by basically 'attacking' your immune system and spurring it into action, you are really only supposed to take it at the very start of a cold/ illness to kickstart your immune response.
