Marydoll, hope your antibiotic works extra fast and you feel better very soon.

Grammaretto, I hope you can maybe get something from your GP for the pain that is stopping you sleeping.

Must go - childminding in Brighton. Then going to see The Unthanks in the evening 😊

Great that you got through to the GP Marydoll
Hope the pills work and you are fit in time for Christmas.

Thanks Kalu for noticing my moaning post. My cold has gone, my eyes can see it's just the aching legs troubling this old crock.☹️

Happy Birthday Scapal πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸ₯‚ a very unusual β€˜present’!

Grandmabatty Mon 18-Dec-23 10:41:40

Scapa a very happy birthday to you! Would that begin with a C by any chance? Although the last time I passed, the name had changed. Have they changed hands?

Marydoll Mon 18-Dec-23 10:39:28

Happy birthday, Scalpal, enjoy your day! πŸŽ‚πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰

Glad to see you’ve managed to speak to your GP, Marydoll hope you feel better soon. Safe travels to those on the move and hope all poorlies feel better soon.
Our local Young Farmers organised a tractor run yesterday evening. It travelled through half a dozen villages, starting in our small town. 70+ illuminated farm vehicles!! It was an awesome sight.

Marydoll hope the antibiotics work quickly and you feel better for Christmas. A bit of a dreich day here in Stirlingshire although not too cold. It is my birthday today and as a present my Ds and Ddil have given us the two granddaughters for three days while they go to London with another couple isn’t that kind of them 🀣. At least they are at school during the day. It is a silly time of the year to have a birthday anyway, all the excitement for the year over in one week! Taking them out for pizza or pasta and ice cream at an Italian cafe in Causewayhead tonight an easy dinner!

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 12Β°C and drizzling.

Today I need to get on with the chores. No other plans. Hope all those suffering ill health at the moment have some relief, you are in my thoughts.

Happy Monday to all 🌻

Good morning from Glasgow. Fairy lights at least add some cheer to this awful dreich weather, raining and dull again.

The new kitchen dining chairs arrived ready to assemble, a few screws and job done. DH made a rare visit to the kitchen for a look at the finished result, a wink and a thumbs up was his seal of approval.

A day of this and that indoors but I may wrap up later for a look around the garden for some fresh air.

Enjoy your well deserved long lies Grandmabatty, although you may waken at your usual early morning, you have the choice whether to jump out of bed or not.
Sorry to hear you had another bad night Grammaretto. I hope your cold clears up quickly and the pain in your legs abate to allow you a much needed decent sleep. Enjoy your lunch.
You really are having such a tough time of it Marydoll. My best wishes that things calm down enough for you to notice an improvement. Look after yourself. πŸ’

Safe travels Ash and Brook

Hopefully a good day is ahead for all and a less troubled day for those going through difficult times.

Taichinan Mon 18-Dec-23 09:11:59

Well done Marydoll! Good to see you're back.

hollysteers Mon 18-Dec-23 09:06:35

Good morning Mick and all from a dull 11Β° C northwest coast.
I’m due to go into the city soon to meet up with old friend, lunch and exhibition but feel off colour. My war wound stomach making its presence felt. I went to bed around 9 last night but feel no better. I’m reluctant to cancel as I cancelled last time and I have a Christmas gift for him. Will struggle on but come home early.
I feel for you farview having gone through the same with my DHπŸ’
Thoughts to all with worries πŸŽ„πŸŒΊ

So glad to have news of Marydoll though sorry she is so unwell; hope the antibiotics do their job quickly.

Mince pie making, book group and carol service make for a full day so had better get it started. Looks like a busy week for most of us!

Great news, Cheers to you Marydoll!

Good morning Mick and everyone from a damp and still dark Carlisle. At least the wind has dropped. Yesterday was a reasonable morning weather-wise but was wet, wet, wet all afternoon and evening. I passed the time easily enough pottering through little jobs and training my brain. It needs a lot of work putting into keeping it in form these days! I'm trying improve my Spanish. I used to be fluent and even do a little verbal translating but it's got very rusty in the speaking and hearing department though I can still read novels.
I spent the evening binge watching 'The Crown". Some of this last series has been idiotic but I thought the last episode did well by our late Queen.
Today, the housework, I shall roar around with the vacuum cleaner and may even attend to my skirting boards, an area strangely neglected by me until they get desperately dusty!

Good to hear from you Marydoll, I do hope matters take a turn for the better and that you get some positive help from the medics.
And best wishes to you farview, that 'me' time with your dog is a very valuable thing in your situation. I hope you are getting some practical/moral support from others around you too?

Wishing you all the best possible day.

Marydoll Mon 18-Dec-23 08:42:39

How efficient is this? Telephone consultation with a GP, who knows me, rescue pack opened and first antibiotic taken! Antibiotics will be finished just in time for a glass of champers at Christmas. πŸ˜‰
