Morning all...Yesterday was very busy, I got my appointment time wrong but was self righteous about it until I got home and felt like a fool, cooked for hours, put furniture together, tidied up etc, so today is shred the pork, make cornbread for my gluten free friend, get rolls, take soft plastic and water filters to sm, put up a gazebo, get a fire started in the bbq and then relax and get drunk...And hope my foot plays along because so far I've had to descend the stairs on my bum....:) OH will clean the kitchen floor, hoover and any other jobs I can think of...or he'd better The washing can wait until Sunday, wafting my pants in front of friends is not a good look

Anyway...

Coxy, that's one of my favourites, it never gets old for me...mehefin, have you got a wood fire burning? I find I am worse when we have if I'm even the least little bit careless about smoke coming into the room. It does seem to start the phlegm going. Scarlet, stay safe...no falls allowed this year sorry.... Gers, safe drive! camelot,  it gets like that, but nothing is that urgent [ok, ok, it's not like I listen either...] Izzy, hope you're doing ok, and an admonishing don't do too much finger...Nels, shame I don't live closer, I could come and do it. I mean, I'm still quite shocked, lifting the damn thing in would have taken more oomph. Take care all , baileys for the poorly, you can get drunk and not feel a thing..

Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the Earth! The Saviour reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Mehifin Have you tried propping your bed up at the head end with a brick so all the yuk flows down instead of up ?

Morning all

Had a really bad night with big pup as she has another ear infection she seems to be prone to them so I have been up with her in the night, DD was at a friends wedding and away in a hotel for the night so I had big pup, dd has booked her in for the vets later so I hope they can help.

Very cold and frosty here will wrap up warm and take the dogs out this morning, will do a little bit of housework and then have a nana nap this afternoon.

Nels thats apalling re AO and your wm, if we were nearer OH could do it for you, I too had a bad experience with AO and will never use them again, I bought a new fridge freezer from them it was very wet inside from the start like pouring with water which sent all the food mouldy and I was having to mop the water up from underneath constantly, it took me about 8 months to get them to replace it, I had two seperate days off work  to have an engineer come to see it, one didnt turn up, I was constantly on the phone to them and on FB and Twitter, eventually they replaced it but what a fight I had, I would never use them again ! 

Dinner tonight will be breaded chicken and chips with coleslaw and salad, I have put a wash on this morning but it will have to go on the airer.

Camelot come down ! it would be great to see you xx

Have good days all and keep warm xxx

I'm sleeping sitting up so it has the same effect. The problem is the copious amounts which are being produced.
Asthma nurse has just cancelled. Going to try the local pharmacy and get some sudafed or similar and see if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestion though

@mehefin I hope you don’t mind my suggestion, but do you have someone who could help you bring it up before going to bed? I used to do a physio (pat) with cupped hands on my mum as she lay over the edge on the settee. 

I’m not sure what the thing is called but it brought up the phlegm.

Update. Blood test results in and another dr's visit. Iron deficiency, reduced liver function etc etc. However this dr was clued up and after extensive examination given another different AB's which target respitory tract inflamation , and ferrous fumarate tablets to address the iron problem. More bloods next week!
Thanks for all the suggestions and support. Never felt so ill
