hi Toni and toady
How are you both tonight?
A bit of a stressful one today again
mum is not feeling too well probably nothing serious, She says she’s feeling a bit shivery. I think she was feeling dizzy before which is a side-effect of one of her medicines I believe
Dad is being as inconsiderate as possible, which never helped of course
One online friend wanted to drag me in some emotionally draining conversation that has nothing to do with me directly, so I did not get involved👍👋toady you mentioned the cold and hot room combination I did get it right today but when I had my second sleep in the cold room I slept so well that I was quite late going out of the house plus of course the stuffiness of the house with the mum - controlled thermostat is another issue, but at least I did get out of the house.
Stomach is a bit ookey again unfortunatelyA house full of arguments in the morning never helps anyone’s mental health, but never mind
According to bin - terest the best part of being British is dunking a whole biscuit in a cup of tea for risky amount of time but the biscuit still emerges from the teacup whole 😂
I did start writing a mini poem, but only got this far as “God made the folic acid” haha
Please don’t share that sensitive information with “those pharmacists are all in cahoots” lol
You know The wedding that my parents attended? That was the marriage of some young woman I don’t really know, plus a young man who studied pharmacology - oh dear
it looks like these pharmacist types are everywhere. I’ve just have to be careful what I say as I will not be able to get any good legal representation if LA tell his mother that I’m a pharmacist insulter who ate all the cheese sandwiches, well more like jam sandwiches with my stomach haha
👋Have a good night Toni toady Joan JoJo SK and S knee tc xx
ps I would just like to say the floors in our house are very clean, but are not licked by children paid less than the minimum wage - apparently 🤥haha xx

Morning Joan I hope you and Pepper are ok and that the scrape went ok. I imagine it made you feel quite sick🤢 if it was along way back? Raining heavily here and we were going to a car show…..🙄 Typical ((())) xxx
Morning Skinny Keef I am about to try a new pain medication myself collected it yesterday after they stopped my anti-inflams had issues with most pain meds one way or another. Mind I read the side effects and they do look a bit scary so I'll try for the first time before bed on a serious pain day. Do you realise how close you came to starting the new page? A couple of lines away I reckon. Are you allowed anti-inflammatories? If so which do you take? I used to find them really helpful for pain management so wondered. Hope the family are well Keef. Look after yourself ((())) xxx
Morning Stuart good on your Mum. Was there a reason why the Dr wanted to reduce her meds? If a consultant has prescribed they really ought not to. Glad you were up a little later today. Me it was 5.45. Hope you have a good day and the cats are both well ((())) xxx
Morning Reshmi how are you? Are you over your MTX hangover? Think of me my friend today🙄 How is your Mum? I don't like the sound of sweating either. I think it's also a sign of a hypo so I can see why you were worried. I would have been too.
Your Mum does not like it if any of you are in pain or ill does she bless her. How is your sister doing? any better at all? Is the party today or tomorrow I am hoping for tomorrow more time for her to recover.
Oh dear your Mum keep stuff does she? That's not good they can be trip hazards, but as you say they are your mum's things you have to leave her to it I suppose. Just make your you are extra careful.
Old maids day? How very rude! Today is food safety day so i have cooked our breakfast with full brand new hazmat outfit on. Respect.
Have you ever tried frickles (sorry if I said this before)? battered pickled gherkins. I really like them good substitute for fish.
Riley's door mat!
We can wait for a new poem if it comes😊
Hope all goes well today ((())) xxx
Jojo it's so difficult with our meds trying to cut down/get it right so we have a quality of life with as few side effects as possible. I hope you have a good day off (it is today?) and the children behave well for you. Take care ((())) xxx
Morning Toady. I am exhausted too. I have to empty Tia's pet treadmill starting today as well as feed the cats morning and night (well about 5pm). Started on Tuesday, but they are having a wonderful holiday which they desperately need so it's worth it. She also helps with Sleek.
We were supposed to be going up to Congleton for a car show today we shall see how it turns out. Fingers crossed it settles, this rain.🙄
I hope you slept well and feel energised a bit today. Sleek seems keen on a duvet day and is on her way in her onesie.
Take care Toady ((())) xxx
A quick wave to Carol if you happen by I do hope all is well 👋 ((())) xxx

Hi all.
Toni, I was taking Naproxin but it made my depression bad, so I swapped over to Diclenofac (spelling) which is somewhat less effective but much less of a depressant. With the vit D and iron and folic acid and tramadol i am on so many pills, more on anMTX day. Only taking 4 tram a day now and although I am in more pain, I sleep much better till about 4 am when I get up. Me and Sucré are just chillin upstairs in my room watching Harry Potter (again) as it raining. Although the parts to repair my guitar arrived yesterday so we really ought to be doing that but I don't feel like it atm. He is banned from the bunker after the guitar breaking incident. I was very cross.0 -
what were the advisories on the MOT? Easily fixed??
