I know moonie, I keep telling myself to have a pj day but then I think of things that need doing... I'm doing sweet FA when I finish work for christmas though

What have you been up to today?

When do you finish work Sweet? and I agree you deserve rest time

I haven't really done a lot tbh. Shopped a little. Put me lotto on and ate a lot

Just to let you know that I'm back home safely. It was very wet driving to the client. When I walked from the car to their front door I could see that the rain was nearly horizontal. They took some time before they opened the door as it is a big house and the noise of the rain against the windows made it hard for them to realise their was someone at the door. They were having problems as the rain was coming through their windows into the house.

The rain had stopped by the time I drove home. There was a lot of surface water where I suspected there would be so I drove slowly and carefully through it.

 

Very glad you made it home safely El

Night owl El!! I'm glad you got home safely and hope you weren't too cold & wet

Moonie I'm working on Christmas Eve it's a very busy time for us so I have to turn in
Eating a lot sounds good! any good snacks? I bought some cheese today and put it on crackers, something I rarely do

No yogi tonight?

Leaving hugs for yogi and churchilling ;ninja: night night all

Awww sorry to hear that Sweet

No snacks I like cheese on crackers though

Sorry I wasn't around was chatting on the phone to my sister

I don't know what's happened to Yogi. I hope her back isn't playing up to much

 

Nite nite Sweet. Sleep well and I hope your head cold is feeling a lot better now. Sweet dreams

    

 

For my Night Owl friends

Sorry to have disappeared on you Moonie and Summer, I was so tired, I fell asleep. However, as you can see, I am awake in the middle of the night, as my back is in agony. Lying down in bed seems to make it worse, so I am sitting downstairs with a hot water bottle, and I've taken some painkillers and rubbed in some Voltarol and hope the pain eases soon.

El, I am glad you got home safely, that rain sounds awful.

Good morning everyone

 

OK weather here at present, dry and much less windy than yesterday.

 

Yogi, I hope your back is less painful now but I think you may need to see your doctor if you need stronger painkillers

Awww poor Yogi

Bad backs are terrible. I speak from experience so I know what you are going through I hope you are feeling a lot better this morning

Take care of yourself and I hope you feel well enough to pop on later

 

El, the sun is shining in through my bedroom window as I type. Blue sky and little breeze

 

Sweet, I hope your head cold is much better today

 

Squiggle, I hope your day goes well

 

Skylark, I hope are feeling better to and have a good day

 

I'm off out to shop for my sister because she is poorly and cant do it for herself

Have a great day everyone and will see you later

I am glad it worked out well EL, and thank you for letting us know and putting our minds at rest.

 

That sounds like a happy and very productive day Summer, thank goodness for Sudafed. 

 

Oh no Yogi, as EL says please do pop along to the docs before Christmas itself actually starts and it gets harder to see the doctor, you can't go on like that.  I hope the family will rally round and take the load off you this year it will be too much for you.  I hope your cold is better moonie and that Skylark's painting is going well.

 

Have a happy day everyone

 

Aw those trees are lovely makes me smile

Good morning! I feel much better today, my little remedies have worked very well I slept like a (Yule) log last night!

Aw yogi I too think a trip to the doctor might be called for do you have to be careful what painkillers you take?

Moonie, lovely owls last night- the winged one especially, it's very clever.
Hope you but yourself something yummy when out shopping, you're very kind to help your sister

Good morning Hagatha(Sweet)

Those trees are nice, aren't they?

I'm so pleased you are feeling better this morning maybe you should start selling your remedy commercially

I shall see what I fancy and my sister can pay for, when I go out Sweet

 

Have a great day

Squiggle, lovely Christmassy trees

 

Summer, I'm glad you are feeling better today though I'm concerned that if you look like a Yule log you'll get eaten or put on the fire

 

Moonie, it's blue sky here as well

Hi everyone. The pain in my back has eased off a bit. It seems to be at its worst during the night and early morning. Tbh, I doubt there is very much the doctor could do, even if I could get an appointment. I can't take strong painkillers, as they upset my already dodgy digestive system, so rest and analgesic cream would be all they'd recommend. 

Glad you are feeling better today, Summer. 

Beautiful trees, Squiggle.

Moonie, the carved owls are brilliant. Good luck with your sister's shopping.

Pleased the rain has stopped for you, El. It's still pretty windy and showery, up here.

 

Yogi, I really hope your back improves by Christmas Are you able to sleep in a different position? For instance if you generally sleep on your back, sleeping sideways with legs bent might help.

 

Thanks El.

My normal sleeping position is on my side with my knees bent, and I have tried putting a pillow between my knees (which the physio recommended last time my back was playing up) but it doesn't seem to be helping this time. I am almost pain free when I am sitting down, so I might try to sleep in a sitting position tonight and see if that helps.

Good afternoon everyone

 

I'm pleased your painful back has eased a little Yogi I could come and jump on it, gently, of course if you think that would help

 

My sisters shopping is all done and delivered now also managed some of my own too I am now officially shattered

 

See you all later

 Moonie, I'd let you jump on my back, if I thought it would help.

well done on getting your own shopping as well as your sisters.

Time to put your feet up and have a cuppa now.

Awwww

You better get well soon or I shall

I have just had me a cuppa fankoo and feel better for it too. Had a custard tart too

 Hope you enjoyed your tea and tart, catch up later.

Yogi, you will be pleased to know that I won't come and jump on your back

 

 

 I'm glad, El.

Hope all goes well in the MM thread tonight - I'll catch up in the morning.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer and Moonie.

I did enjoy them both fankoo Yogi

Goodnight. Sleep well and hopefully your back will be a lot better tomorrow. Sweet dreams

*night owls* check me out- I'm awake! Actually I'm a bit too awake, but mr summer has finished work for the holidays now so I don't need to get up early to walk bramble. I get an extra hour in bed in the morning

Yogi I was going to suggest the pillow between the knees thing, your back must be really uncomfortable you poor thing maybe a PB visit might bring a smile to you

Moonie I hope you had a restful afternoon

Well done for remaining awake Sweet but i'm sure churchill will kick in in a while

Tell Mr Summer not to slam the door when he takes Bramble out tomorrow morning

 

My afernoon was fine fanks Sweet

Lol moonie, probably!

Bramble will go sleep next to mr summer after I've gone to work in the morning, she loves a cosy lay in
I might still need a walk though, my sweet mince pie habit continues

How's your sister?

For moonie...

I think Churchill will be arriving shortly!

Yes, very shortly!

Night night moonie

Hope skylark is back tomorrow

Aww bless Bramble

you have a mince pie habit?

 

She is on antibiotics now for her chest infection Sweet

Awww love that owl Sweet. Fankoo

Awwww. Nite nite Sweet sleep well. I hope your head cold is much better now. Sweet dreams

  

 

For all night owls

Good morning everyone

 

Dry here and some blue sky.

 

Yogi, I hope you were able to get a better night's sleep and your back didn't keep you awake

 

Nice owls, Summer & Moonie

Good morning everyone. Rain has stopped atm but it's still windy.

Yay Summer, an extra hour in bed.

I haven't eaten a single mince pie yet. I'll make up for it over Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

I am minding PB tomorrow. Hubby will be on main minding duties unless my back is a lot better, but I can still get lots of cuddles (and I'm certain I'll still be on nappy duties).

I did sleep a bit better, thanks El. The back pain woke me around 1am but I took some painkillers, rubbed on more gel and reheated the hot water bottle, and was able to get a few more hours sleep.

Moonie, I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly and your sister is fully recovered before Christmas.

I hope Skylark manages to pop in today.

Squiggle, will your grandsons be with you for Christmas? Will your chef grandson be working over the Christmas period?

Have a good day, everyone.

 

Morning

A frosty start here today! I like it. I feel full of beans- mostly because I'm over the cold

Yogi I'm glad you got some sleep last night, lets hope each day gets a little better and a bit easier for you when will you see PB over christmas?

I've just finished sorted out the cards/gifts for the girls at work, now we can concentrate on the work
