    Hi Dizzy

    Bit of a sore throat today and headache now.

    I'm wondering if a tipple of Amaretto may cure it?!:rotfl:

    Hope you get all sorted tomorrow.

    My house is a most dreadful mess so I'm hoping I get that done tomorrow.

    Will need a few supermarket bits and hopefully will have a swim.

    I'm happy to have got some mistletoe from the Market and also a bit of veg, the mistletoe was half the price of the florist I'm sure.

    Oh Ruby. Hugs to make you feel better 31899.gif

    Oh I say that is a big hug :D
    I'm the same throat wise. D'ya know Ruby I'm sure I read somewhere that Ameretto actually is a well known cure for sore throats but only if taken in large quantities so...cheers :beer: (didn't really read that but sshhhhh it might be) ;)
    Take care with the swim if you're coming down with something though. Wrap up warm huni.

    Wow Dizzy yes that is a big hug! Thanks!

    I'm hoping it will pass as it's rare for sore throats and colds etc to turn into anything much with me although I do sometimes get coughs.

    By the way are other folk posting on the new thread? X

  • There's a lot of posts on the 2012 thread now Ruby . I'm posting odd ones and a fair few of our friends on here are posting now and again too. It is getting a bit quiet on here isn't it Ruby? (she says as tumbleweed rolls by)

    A friend of mine swears that vodka cures the common cold.

    I suspect the hangover makes her forget the sore throat :D

    Ooh damn natnat I forgot about that - I really wanted to watch that as those programmes always make me feel good about my place!:rotfl:

    Ooh I hope I don't end up on here on my own - I don't feel I can post on the new one until 2012!:rotfl:

    my understanding is that the new thread should only be used for posts about our preparation for 2012 - and setting of budgets

    anything we're doing now that impacts 2011 budgets should still be posted on here

    I'm watching and reading both threads to get back into the swing of things for 1st Jan, but not posting much as I kind of gave up keeping my records up to date months ago (due to a lot of personal stuff going on)

    Ooh hope you are well Cheryl.

    I gave up keeping records too in the end but I think it was more laziness - I will try again in 2012.

    Anyway night folks - I'm away to my bed!

    I said that sometime ago on another thread but am still here!
