Grunts - Groans - Moans

hi Caz numbers, anything I can do to help just ask. blackberries seem good this time of year, also elderberries make a good wine. sloe gin and sherry are a must and this year some places have really good crops of sloes but here in devon the frost got the blossom and the harvest is not very good. I do however have a supply from last year.he he

oh off I go with my shopping bag and raid the wild life larder already had a dust up with squirrels over hazel nuts

well i'm now full of cold, in fact have been for the last 2 days but now it's moving to my chest so coughing and feel like my lungs are being removed with a blunt instrument

oh and i can't sleep

feeling very sorry for myself too at the moment, nose looks like rudolph

sat up now drinking hot chocolate which is yummy

get well soon stay in bed and get waited on hand foot and finger hot toddy's might not cure a cold but you sure get some sleep

We've had colds for over 2 weeks now so as experts I can advise you to use tissues with aloe vera in them, they do stop your nose from chaffing. As for the cough we can't shift ours so can't offer any advise apart from not to go wading on flooded camp sites as it seems to prolong things. Hope you feel better soon Eilis

It seemed that I have just got to sleep and got woken up by my neighbour ( back off their holls thank god)very early this morning Dogs had escaped and playing with the Llamas got them in went to see were they got out whacking big hole were the fence was, don't understand it we are out on our adventures every day is that not enough but since back from the kennels the middle dog Jack is escaping only to come back half hour later odd so off to DIY store to get thick wire as he is eating through wood and with my staple gun attempt a repair or staple dog to wall

lol Caznumbers i'm beginning to think you have alien creatures - a dog eating through wood???

opposite our office at work there is a house where lots of different people go in and out, it seems like you rarely see the same person twice, men women old young babies, teenage boys so we have decided it's a portal to another univers

we refuse to think it's a drug dealers house lol

As always for this sort of thing I'd go for the old fashioned solution.

I'd rub Vick's on it.

And I'm quite sure Vick would feel better for that too! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

One of the other great reasons it's good to be a woman, we men have to suffer with "Man Flu".
You just don't realise how lucky you are.

We've had this cold too, it lingers for ages, leaves a very annoying cough and makes you feel exhausted when you do anything.

I started with ours whilst we were on holiday, after taking the dog for a push , I slept for a few hours. The germs this year are defo more lingering than usual.

i think for the past couple of years they have lingered for longer, or maybe it's just that i am getting wimpier lol

That they linger longer, or I'm getting wimpier too.

i used to be able to carry on working when i had a cold, now i sit on the sofa hurting all over and unable to think at all (i know i don't have many brain cells but they all vanish when i have a cold)

my whole body seems to hurt too although i'm getting over this one better than others i've had recently

Not nice.

How do they know
Sandra has a bad shoulder and can't drive so I had to take her to the sewing shop at the other side of town for some thread. On arriving back there on the mat was the dreaded Royal Mail card. My new struts were only posted yesterday with a forecast delivery of Friday. How do they know that you will be out
At least I can get them tomorrow, which is still pretty quick and I can't fit them until the wind drops anyway

went to the hospital last Wednesday, to visit my friends mother. We got there and was disinfected,aprons and gloved which I thought to stop our bugs causing infections not that we had been given masks to wear then bang I got hit on Thursday night up all night throwing up and the rest followed on Friday my friend got hit last night to only find out it was the hospital that is the problem now we are banded until mon if all is ok which is hard as his mother is dying.. why did they not say and restrict visitors although we did all the hand washing stuff it must be an air born virus so masks might have helped as can't afford my son getting it
Thursday I had the heating system changed all fine but Friday when the electricians came in to hook up the systems what a sight that greeted them

That's so sad Caz, hope your son stays well and your friend gets to see mum. x x x

thank's and hope it doesn't happen again

you'd think it would be really easy to find a jumper with rudolf on the front for a child at christmas - well it isn't!! quite hard to find something for children anyway as the cheesy jumpers tend to be for adults but it's so frustrating as my niece wants it for christmas day (she's dressing her daughter up as rudolf and her son as santa lol)


grump grump grump as i keep trying to find something that is actually what i am searching for ie children's jumpers not adults. honestly i'm getting fed up of this already lol

fab Shaun, thanks i'll get there asap before they all vanish

Went out tonight and 2 houses had Christmas lights up.
That is 2 houses not in sink estates but on reasonable main roads.
It's the 28th of November we have not even hit December yet. Bah Humbug!
