Hi skinny keef I'm sorry you are struggling with the pains I know that feeling well I'm trying to cut codeine down but it's a struggle take care.

Hi all, bit of a long day and got a bit tied up with things, only ordinary things parcels and stuff to do, so best call it a night as (for once) I don't have to get up so am hoping for a decent night. Lots of solid rain setting in from the early hours am not looking forward to that.

Love to all and will be in tomorrow, Joan will be in then too hopefully so hello in advance & hope everyone has as good a night as poss, especially anyone whose day has been a bit trying, look forward to catching up properly 😘 take care all 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

Good morning everyone

Toady (()) sorry about your problems I hope the parcels behave them selves. Have a good day.

Toni (()) i hope you get dry weather for the car show. Have a good day. I hope Tia and her husband have a good holiday (())

Jojo (()) have a good day has your pain calmed down.

Reshmi (()) have a good day love to your mum (()) I hope she feels better soon.

Stuart (()) sorry you have problems sleeping. I use Lavender spray you can spay it around the bedroom on your pillow any where it relaxes you. Have a good day love to your mum (()))

Skinny Keef (()) how are you love to Loanda (()) and Sucr’e (()) have a good day.

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.

hello my lovely Reshmi

With a poem I wish you would bless me

It must be that time

For a lovely rhyme

Go on just write a line, or three

😬

hi Toni

Good afternoon

how are you?

Mums ok 👍

in the blood sugar sense that is

I think she’s feeling a little bit better when it comes to the shivering and so on (not actually sweating)

the party is tomorrow
My sister is slightly better,

but she’s not the type of person to rest properly unfortunately

I’m okay thanks. Just having a bit of a sluggish day energy wise but that happens sometimes.
I didn’t walk today

also my stomach is a little bit ookey so I’m praying to the gastric gods again

MXT day for you I see I hope it goes as well as it can do

bye for now take care xx

Ps I bought an eye - door only £10,000 lol xx

hi Toni toady and SK

How are you all?

I’m finally starting to feel a bit more human after sleeping for limitless hours lol

a little poem by me as promised 🙏

VC poem called “A VC dwellers’ ode, To SK, Toni and the toad(y)”
God made the Folic acid
I forgot one dose in Parental - Tantrum Central
But I am not placid
One dose missed plus someone poured strong coffee in my weak cup of tea
But I found out it was just innocent Skinny Keef of the VC family
So I let this antic slide, as I know he’s been awake since the very early hours
Then I looked out of the window and saw a toady hiding from phantom neighbours amongst the flowers
Meanwhile Toni had bought a new hat in a most suitable frog-like green
And Mima was praying to the stomach gods in preparation for attending Sunday’s party scene

I’m Trying to do things bit by bit today otherwise I will not get anything constructive done at all ha ha

so bye for now all take care xx

Hi toady yeah its tigger he loves being with me yeah I've had a mostly relaxing day today ready for work tomorrow. I hope your afternoon is going well and you have a decent Sunday.
