  • Glad you sold the phone.

    Keep an eye on that cough. Take care.

    Horrendous night, well it felt like it! Coughing my lungs up! Not pleasant , coupled with razor blades in the throat.,
    Anyhow I have a GP appt this afternoon, just to be on the safe side.

    Very naughty today and used a credit card, by accident . Bought something off a site and my cc details were still on it . Will pay it off as soon as it lands on credit card bill. Just shows how easy it is to do and then just forget it's there and carry on spending.

    My Christmas lunch has been eaten by a pregnant colleague who has sent me a photo of said lunch. I missed it last year as well, through being ill. Think there is a message in there somewhere.

    Have got £160 for my phone this morning , half to savings , half to smallest cc . Just waiting for the new owner to let me know they are happy with it before doing this.

    Have a good day everyone.

    I did get dressed and went to the docs again, twice in 8 days unheard off. Anyhow I have a bout of septic tonsillitis, my chest is clear which is good. I am now £8.60 lighter from the antibiotics. The coughing is just a cold. Some of the stomach tests have come back fine, so think it's IBS.

    Anyway on to MSE things, I need to get some flowers for ex MIL to take at the weekend, normally get a hand tied bouquet costing about £20 this year going to Aldi.
    Plus need a plant for another friend , about £5 .

    I am trying to formulate some plans for 2018 as well but haven't come up with all yet.

    Glad you have the meds. if you can get a course of probiotics too to put back the good bacteria when you are finished the course. It may help you to feel better after as antibiotics can leave you feeling a bit wiped out too.

    Take care.

    I swear by them Cumbria. Make sure they are kept in the fridge and get one with different cultures all together. I use one by viridian as it is gluten free, doesn't have fillers etc. It isn't cheap but I rarely take antibiotics so it is worth it for me. You can get much cheaper...
