LIR - really must look after yourself & get the test done - I think.

I couldn't get any meds, course of treatment until I had a diagnosis so had to undergo as fast as I could the tests as was getting worse.
Know what you mean about the sitting back or being stubborn, but if you were in hospital for test then I hope you had it? I hope you ain't putting this off LIR?
Do we all have to group nag or just be all :kisses3::kisses3::kisses3:group hug:kisses3::kisses3::kisses3::kisses3::kisses3: and support your descision as anything else would be disrespectful?........dilemma

Rhiwfield - many thanks for the hi-res tin house ad - so very interesting.

The thing seems to be that they were bought off the peg, flat packed & assembled on-site prefabricated I think. Would have been a fast, cheap solution. Also explains the similar designs.

Alfie - Hope it all goes well on Monday. Your new friends sound errrr handy chaps - nowt wrong with a bit of eye candy. Ooooooeeeeeeerrrrrr.

I wonder how maggie is?[/QUOTE]

Hi LiR, we finally made it back from Wales last Wednesday. Called on MiL to find she had dreadful diarrhoea so OH cleaned up and we contacted out of hours doc but they couldn't come for maybe several hours, so then we got in touch with MiL's friend Pat who came over to stay the night. It wasn't an option for us as car stuffed full of a summer's worth of stuff and I was knackered after the drive and needed bed. As it was we didn't get home till after 10pm and were by then too wired to either eat or sleep, so sat by kitchen bifold and had a few drinks...

Needless to say I got midged, egg shaped swelling on forehead next morning. Since then OH has been visiting MiL fairly regularly, and today has taken her to hospital for GI consultant to see her as has very low Hb and may be bleeding (she had a load of her gut removed a few years ago due to blockage) followed by New Joint School, but until they sort out her anaemia I suspect the hip replacement will be on hold.

Had 2 further rotten insect bites since then, leg swole up alarmingly and turned multi-coloured, arm just swole up and itched like fury. Found mozzie in bedroom the other night too, so may have got bitten while in bed - I'm a restless sleeper, tend to spend all night tossing quilt off then grabbing it back!

Garden was a mess when we came back, with lawn not mowed for over 6 weeks! :eek: OH has now scalped it, but it needs mowing again already to try and even it off a bit. Just need a dry day - typically it's lovely here today when he isn't here, prob will chuck it down the rest of the week!

Harvested a few tomatoes yesterday, some still on plants ripening. Broad beans well and truly over, runners just about to start. Found 1 courgetted and a squash and a couple of patty pan squashes, but I think that's more or less the most of our harvest now. We've had hardly anything from the back garden - all we have had came from pots in the south facing front garden. Oh, there's some cos violette beans in the back, but they're too big for eating so will dry them for the beans inside for stews maybe.

All in all it's been a bloody depressing summer. And to add insult to injury every day we were in Abersoch (once the kids had gone home) the TV presenter were going on about how hot and gorgeous the weather was in London :mad: while we were in grey skies and wind and cold and barely managed one barbie in the whole of that time. :mad:

Oh, and OH managed to get boat washed up onto beach yet again so I didn't get any sailing again. (centre plate got trapped up, then half way down, now fixed but it was a bit worrying at the time) So all in all not the best of hols, but at least I read a few books!

rhiwfield

Maggie, I sympathise for many reasons. Must be very embarrassing for Mil and gut problems can really drag you down.

Re midges it might just be worth taking an anti allergy pill over the main mossie months if you dont already. I take loretadine (1 a day as prescribed by doctor during horsefly season to reduce reaction to bites)

And the London-centric National (!) weather forecasters make me mad as well. As long as its sunny in London it must be wonderful weather :mad:

New chair has arrived so will be in lounge tonight lying down for first time since Sunday :j. QWERTYUIOP bye bye

rozeepozee

I'm still here everybody. Very frustrated that I can't read or often. Currently restricted to spare moments between nursery runs.

The good news is our new Argentinian tenant has paid his annumal rent upfront (commercia let) so I'm feel flush - so we bought a.... trampoline! :j

It's coming tomorrow.It was either than or an iPad and methinks it'l make us fitter.

I'm sorry peeps aren't feeling well, I haven't managed to read enough to work out the istory (sorry) but lumbar puncture sounds like no fun, LIR....

My keyboard is still playing up despite new batteries so I think I'm deffo gonna have to buy a new one.

I'll tr and catch up on the missed posts on my iphone nce the kids are in bed. I am here, moreof a lurker than a poster due to time contrainst and problematic equipment

choille

Maggie - poor you. Don't fret about the garden - mines a disaster zone, but it'll wait. Sorry you have the bite thing too - doubt midgie, probably a mozzie? Cleg thing? I have used Anti-histimine, but it has to be the drowzie one - the one that makes you feel zonked - so best to take at bedtime, can help you sleep. But have been told to take them full time during bite season, but never could cope with that zonked out of it feeling for a season - a few days maybe.

Well they say the change is as good as a rest, but the hols sounded a bit crap for you all really. Poor MIL - know how she feels too. Poor OH having to cope with that. You all need a holi.......well maybe not.
I can't grow toms, so you beat me there.
Ate some carrots this evening - they are allowed as long as peeled. Lovely, really good - nowt better than roasted carrots that are so fresh they scream when you shove em in t'oven. Mmmmmmm.

Poor Rhiwfield too - great the chair's here - we all sound a bit desperate, a bit jiggered for all this self sufficiency, outdoor, healthy life style lark - a bit like a cross between Emerdale Farm and Causualty on acid really.
For any lurkers I'm sure you realise that TV dinners in your cosy city flat is far safer, healthier & cheaper life style & probably a lot less stressful. Anyone up for a life style swop?

Hello Rozee - good news re the rent. Hope the laptop survives a while.

More torrential rain here so being crap is okayish. It's when it's fit weather that is harder to sit out on.

Hi All,

Alfie, sorry didnt ring you last night,( will ring you tonight) came home from work, and just totally crashed out, still bl00dy cold..

well this is a first in a very long time I am in work early:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

got up to have a cuppa, and the electric is off:mad:. so I thought i'd come to work and have a cuppa, guess what? forgot the milk

:rotfl:

so sitting in office ( shed) with the heater on full blast ( heat is under hte table)

hubby just arrived with milk, better put kettle on

rhiwfield

Alf, hoover a newly laid carpet :eek: May be late at night, you may be kernackered, but its far better to use an extremely small handbrush, or even eyebrow tweezers to pick up the fluff, to avoid damage to the pile

Choille, does seem a bit like House/ER on here lately. FWIW I'm now the owner of a Restwell Lars riser/recliner and I've just had the first nights sleep for 5 days, and without adverse back reaction, so touch wood, I'm on the up again.

CTC, yes, getting cold in the mornings, had the woodburner going last night, lovely toasty lounge.

Will pop out today and get some seeds, feel some sowing coming on, thats what GDs are for ...and collecting eggs...handfeeding leaves to the chooks...demolishing plates of pasta every 5 mins....:D.
