Morning all,
I'm staying home today and trying to get rid of my cough!
I feel a bit feeble though!
Catch you all this evening x

Good morning Linda.
It's a cold wet morning here, and it's still pitch black outside.
If it's raining out I would stay indoors if I was you, you don't want that cough getting any worse.
Right breakfast this morning is.
Cereals, Porridge, grapefruit segments,fresh orange juice.
Eggs, fried, poached or boiled.
Bacon, sausage,beans or tomato's, fried mushrooms, fried slice.
Toast, with fresh preserves.
Tea, coffee. Enjoy.

Have a good day one and all, and those who have to go out to work, try not to overdo it.
Take care.

Morning all
Damp outside, but at least it's not too cold. Hubby has left for his course.
Well house tidying today and more of the dreaded paperwork. I hope to walk out to the postbox too. Need to get some fresh air, but I won't go out if it is still wet.
I'm still coughing, but it's not as bad as before, just lingering. How are all you others who have been unwell, Rita, Maddieand Pat? Hope you are all better than yesterday.
Take care and have a good day
Linda :o) XXX

I hope you all are feeling better by tomorow. get rid of all these nasty old bugs that are going around..
Pat sleep is a good thing when you have that flu. get your self into bed in the warm and snuggle down,

I am up as I have been emailing the family as my son has his operation date come through for 17th February. so I have let them all know they keep emailing me and asking me if he had heard.

I will say Good night to you all now have a good nights sleep.

Rita

Good Evening everyone, hope you are well and warm.

Bits of ice coming down as I was walking home from work. I HATE IT.

Get well Patricia, and welcome back Cathy.

I am off work next week, so will look forward to doing a few things that I dont usually do. I do hope it will be a bit warmer, I am fed up swathing myself in scarves, gloves and a big thick coat. I am convinced I am a Summer Person, even though I was born in the Winter.

See you later people.

Hi Rita,
I think I've got Maddie's cough.! I use all my energy to go to work and i get Home and I fall asleep on the settee!
I've stayed up longer than I did last night!
Going to make myself a drink of my magic portion and beddy byes x

Pat those powders are wonderful.
I used them till I was put onto Warfarin but if I take anything that has asprin in those powders do I can be very ill.
That is why I have fresh squeezed Lemon and honey. I know I am safe with those.
I hope you are feeling better now.?

Stephen when they showed the iciles on the guttering I was amazed at how the guttering stood up to the weight those icicles must have weighted they hung from the guttering to almost touching the ground.
they looked like spears I wondered if they would cause any acciidents if they thawed and someone was underneath one of them


Rita

When I got my cold powders they asked me if i was on any blood pressure tablets.I'm not which is just as well because I swear my these powders. They're magic!

Mo I had fresh l;emon and honey all the time I had the flu. I have to be careful as when you are on Warfarin your not allowed anything that has asprin in so those brought Lem sips I cannot have the same as pain killers I have to show my warfarin card to the chemist she know what I can and cannot have.
what an end of the year and start of another year this has been with all these flu cases.
They showed you Scotland on the news and those icicles hanging from the roof were like spears. they said it was he worse weather since 1910.and those poor people didnt have central heating in those days or the things we have no wonder so many of them died.

mo although some of my chilren have had the MMR the younger ones im not that much in faver of it well i wasent at the time when it first came out
to me it had not been out long enuth to see the (whats it caled LOL carnt think of the word) eny way ill use the word research in the problems that it called in children and it still seem a miff if it is the cals of given somew children altisam

now i should of pulled up a stink as when i had my 3rd child that is when it seem to of came out and i did say to the health vititer that she was not to have it done but with out telling me thay gave it to her well bite to late then wasent it so i just had a moan to them


LOL think im haveing a moany day to day

Mo,The sore throat worse of all. i've got a cough but I don't think it's as bad as Maddies.
I stocked up on powders etc.
i feel a bit like a zombie because I didn't get to sleep until late!

Well done Rita, on sticking to your diet. The temptation to cheat is so great isn't it.
I know what you mean about that mum not getting the childs flu jab done.
They were talking about it yesterday,on our local T.V, and there was a woman on there saying the same thing. How selfish can they be, as long as they are protected, why worry about the child, huh.
Mind you, the same thing has been happening with the M.M.R injections, parents decided not to get their childre innoculated against it, because of the scares that were going on at the time.
All my children had every jab that was going, and the same with all my grandchildren.
Still next year I will be able to get my flu jab done with no problems. It sounds stupid when you ask if you can have one done, and they say no you are not old enough, and because you suffer from no other ailments, you are not allowed it.

Good to see you back Cath. I hope you had a nice time, perhaps you will fill us all in on your break away when you get home tonight.

Linda, hurry up and get rid of that couch of yours, it's been hanging around for long enough.
I hope you enjoy your day with the little one.
Have you only got the one to look after now.?Mind you one can be enough cant it.

The same goes for you Maddie, get that cough mixture down your throat girl, and get rid of it soon.
We can't have you croaking away at the meet, we need you in your best singing voice that day.
I don't know about your net crashing last night, but I have had to try several times today, to get into this particular site. There was nothing to say they were doing work on the site, so I don't know what was happening.

Pat, my OH had a stinking sore throat yesterday,and was complaining of feeling rough. He had a hot lemon and honey drink, and a couple of paracetamol, and touch wood, he feels a lot better today.
I was starting to panic, thinking I was going to have to become a nurse again, amongst my other jobs around here. lol

Stephen, hows the ice situation now. Did you manage to get the salt laid
on the drive and paths.
We have got a bitterly cold wind blowing here at the moment, no snow as yet, but nothing would surprise me.

Good afternoon Jean, I hope you didn't get to wet this morning when you went out.
Are you still coming to the Victoria meet love.

Now where has our Pauline got to again. I hope all is well with you all Pauline.
I bet Brent is enjoying being back at his day centre, but I bet you miss having him at home.

Jean
Thank you for the offer of that lovely breakfast you have done. but as much as I would like to dig in I am on a diet. and I have been very good for three days. the only sweet thing I had was a coffee eclair yesterday when my sister was here..
no bikkies, no chochie and no cakes.

I wonder how long I will be able to keep this up. Lol

Rita

standing in a queue today in shop. I overheard three women talk.they were complaining their children had not been able to get a flu vacine from their doctors (not my doctors. ) they were told they had run out and the supliers had none left in stock at that moment.. One said I could have had her done but did.nt realise it would be an outbreak like this of flu. ? she was going on and on.saying doctors should not run out of these things
.Then one of the others said she had , had hers done but didnt want to upset her child by getting his done.
I wanted to say something but kept quiet. fancy a mother getting a vacine done for herself and not her child. ?

I didnt get mine done that was my fault as I didnt want the swine flu jab which was with the flu one. I regret it now after how ill I have been.

I hope those women learn there lesson and get their children done next year even . if they cannot get it done this year.

Rita

Good morning everyone.

Hope you are all well and warm.

The sun is up, the sky is blue
Theres not a cloud to spoil the view ..........................
tra la la.

The sun is shining hurrah. Still coughing though.

Passion apparently, Stephen, works up a sweat so raises the temperature and fights off a cold. So we know what to do girls. lol

Wiv me socks and evil smelling potions to shift me congestion - no chance.

Decorations coming down today, they will be gone and packed away by the time I come home, so will be bare I suppose. The room, not Kevin.

See you later.
