Goat? What goat is this Mel? My youngest granddaughter’s birthday is today. She’s 20. She’ll be delighted to know she is sharing it with your goat :-D

It rained heavily in the night. Now it’s showers on and off but it is very grey and muggy

We have a busy day today. Got to sort out a load of books and other stuff that’s going up to my son’s tomorrow, plus do some admin that must be done before we go. I also need to sort out what we are taking. Clothes are easy, we’re only away for 3 days but it’s all the.medical supplies, washing and shaving gear etc that take the time. I have to go to a Ladies Club meeting tonight as well as I keep missing them and haven’t paid my annual subscription yet.

Will try and get back later if time permits.

I ordered Timeout by mistake instead of Twirl, anyone want a time out? They are not as nice as they used to be, they used to have a flake type layer of chocolate at the top they were thinner and they had more chocolate coating them. Now they are just a wafer biscuit with a very thin layer of chocolate.

Shoppings been I think I must have lost some hearing as I don't hear them come down now.

It would have been my goats birthday today.

Suns out at the moment and there's quite a bit of blue sky and huge white clouds but it been raining most of the morning.

Had my shower just have to get the box out for the shopping and thats a few jobs done.

Good morning all. Not raining but Misty and dull. We are heading to another garden centre for coffee further south. Not much else we can do but we don’t mind. If it gets brighter there is plenty to see around there and here.

Morning Mel , we posted at the sams time .

Morning all,

Very overcast this morning but not cold ,it's quire muggy indoors we have the back door open to let the fresh air in
We did have some rain in the night as the canopy on the gazebo had puddles on it ,I put a couple of tubs at the side got the broom and if poured off into the tubs ,so there's a bit extra water for watering

Hope those with aches and pains feel a little better today .

Morning lushous ladies,

14 degrees and light rain with patchy sun.

Shopping arrives today with one sub and thats my cheese coleslaw. I usually have the dearer one but they have sent Asda's cheese coleslaw and if I remember rightly it has corser cabbage in it which my teeth don't like.

Hope you all slept well and that Annx back is now getting back to normal.

Anng no it was a male doctor and mine is usually a lady doctor who told me to stop taking those capsules.

I managed to get a doctor to call this morning by ringing early. Also they did say I could have the doc ring me on Friday or it may be Monday so I don't know which worked but at least I got a call. I have not done a thing today just slobbed around but feeling better it was nice to have a day free of pain.

Hope our Annx is a bit better today but these back problems can take quite a while to get back to normal.

Still raining here but lightly now. There's even puddles on the road!!!!!!! I hope last week was'nt our summer!

Afternoon all ,we thought we heard thunder a while ago, we did have a few spots of rain but it didn't last long .

Mel thats good you've got that problem sorted out with the doctor ,indegestion pain can be very uncomfortable, you were lucky to get to talk with a doctor,we have a heck of a job here .


Katie's has tonsillitis and had some antibiotics from the pharmacist but it's still bad dil rang the doctors this morning and was told by the receptionist to go back to the pharmacy which she did but they then said no she needs to see a doctor as we can't give another lot of antibiotics so back to the doctors to be told no you need to go on line and fill the form in ,luckily they got an appointment for this afternoon, I haven't heard yet how she got on .

Ann hope your back and side are a bit easier today just keeping resting and don't do to much ro soon .

Glad you have got that sorted Mel. How did you manage to suddenly speak to a doctor when it was to be 10 days? And was it the same doctor who told you to stop taking it?

its stopped

Thunder now rumbling around for a long time.

Its just started to rain here as I was going to go out and do a bit of strimming.
Is'nt it always the same and its coming down really hard.

Thanks for all your advice girls and I feel much better now after talking to a doctor. He told me that it can cause the stomach lining to thicken which could cause cancer but there again stopping taking it can cause the indigestion to come back two fold which is probably what has happened to me. Anyway I am much happier knowing I can carry on with it but I am cross I was'nt told I should ease them off and not just cut them out altogether. Now I just need to stop eating as much and lose a bit of weight.

Twenty three weeks on Thursday not smoking. :-D

I have just spoken to a doctor on the phone and explained everything and he has told me I can stay on my Omeprazole. I am so relieved as they do work and I can get back to eating what I like now.

Mel, I would follow AnnG's advice and ask the pharmacist if he thinks it would be OK for you to go back on Omeprazole just till you see the doctor. If he thinks it would be OK you can buy it over the counter. You only get a week's supply (7 tabs) and it's not cheap but it might be worth it just till you see the doctor. Check with the pharmacist first though.

Mel,
You do really need to speak to someone rather than have to wait into next week.

There was an article on the Morning Live TV programme last week about what happens if you stop that medication too suddenly, as it causes even worse problems than previously, because the stomach goes into overdrive and produces more secretions than the body can cope with.
Please ask for help rather than suffer more <3

There are six apartments in the house Mel, two large (2 and 3 bed), and a couple of cottages.

I think that your next move is to go and speak to your pharmacist and explain that you were not told to stop your other meds gradually and that violent indigestion is making you feel I’ll. tell them you can’t speak to a doctor for ten days. They should be able to help you. At least at home I had a list sent out with the info on pharmacists being qualified to help in cases like this.
