Sorry to hear you had a bad one too Jane, yeah you're right we're old crocks!!

We're away next Tuesday to Menorca for ten days...all inclusive so bound to come back double the size!!

I'm working a night shift tonight as i've swapped with one of the other girls 'cos of my holiday.

Back later i expect,

Pam.

Morning all
No Pam still no news yet. I have not been in touch with daughter today she tends to laze about in the mornings so I will phone her after lunch, her OH has the odd days holidays to take from work so plans to take tomorrow and Friday off so he can be near and go with her to the midwifes on Friday.

You and Jane will probably be both on holiday when this baby arrives so you will need to catch up on the news when you get back.

Hi Pam,hope your experience of H.R.T. is better than mine, I went from a size 10/12 in October to a 14/16 in January ,stuck it out 'til April as the doc said it wasn't the medication at fault but decided I had to come off it as I couldn't afford to put on any more weight. I'm only 5ft 2. Since I stopped the weight is slowly coming back off to O.H.'s relief ,the thought of buying a whole new wardrobe had him a bit concerned .Thats when I looked for alternatives ,the magnet that sits inside your pants, I dropped it down the loo more than once,herbal treatments and the only thing that had any effect ,serenity cream.I also had a go with hypnotism c.d's .So maybe I should have persevered with the H.R.T. although friends have told me it can take up to 2 years to find the right one I am too impatient to wait that long for a result.

Patricia ,I have never heard of a magnet that goes in pants!!!!!!!!The mind boggles lol.What is it supposed to do?

I't's called magnacare I think and its supposed to stop all menopausal symptoms .It's triangular and blue and has a part that you place inside your underwear and a little magnet that attaches outside your pants to hold it in place ,sounds bizarre I know ,but my late father in law used magnet therapy for circulation problems after his knee replacement surgery and claimed it had great results ,maybe it was called ladycare I'm not sure now. Anyway after dropping it down the loo several times I decided to give up on it.My friends all thought it was hilarious ,something else I maybe should have persevered with.

Just looked it out and it is ladycare, you can check it online to see if it's of interest ,try anything once lol

Morning girls, well that's work done until the 20th September.

Patricia I'm only 5ft 2" like you, so if I put on a bit of weight i'd look enormous. I'm going to try to avoid going on the HRT if possible...just think that some days it gets so bad you think f***k it I've had enough of this and would give anything a go!!

Well hopfully the baby should be here like you say Fiona when Jane and myself get back from our holidays. I'm really looking forward to it, we're going to a place we've been to many times, Menorca, so no nasty surprises!

Going to bed soon as the old eyes are getting heavy...so may sleep very well.

Speak lkater i expect...have a safe day everyone.

Pam.

Better late than never.Afternoon Ladies.
Busy chasing my tail today.Son and his girlfriend should be back soon,with more mess and bags etc.I need the suitcase as I lent mine to son to take to Nice.I hope is doesn't need fumigating before I pack my things lol
Pam I hope you have a wonderful holiday,at least you should have the good weather!!!

Christine ,it has been rather tame lately lol except for Patricia telling us about a magnet that you wear in your pants !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see you back.Pam and I are off on our hols soon so I hope you and the others give us some good stuff to read when we get home.
My sciatica was a real B****r this morning and it took me 10 minutes to get my right sock on lol

Christine google Serenity Cream,you will find it there.

Hi Ladies
Hi AB, good to have you back

I hate to say it but I'd rather have the hot flushes than the migraines. Touch wood I have tried to keep my self calm and controlled lately as not to start a migraine, mine come with stress, and the worst one was last new year eve when it lasted all night with sickness to ,it turned out I had a urine infection and that had made the headaches worse.
I hate the zig zag patterns and the flashing lights. and after taking the pills and going to bed in a dark room the next day I am like a zombie.

I'm off to make some tea now catch up later.

I used to suffer from migraines until I had a hysterectomy, since then, 22yrs ago, I have only had one. Lucky me! I was given soluble aspirin, a lemon flavoured one, and if I took them as soon as I felt any sign of one coming on, it usually stopped it. My OH could tell I was starting one by my eyes, which apparently took on a strange look.

Migraines.....a small shot of brandy just as you feel it coming on,mine start with visual disturbance,the brandy helps with the blood flow to the head and ,honest,lifts the migraine within 20 minutes.I was advised to try this by a homeopath about 30 years ago and it works for me.Serenity cream can only be bought online from the channel islands.I've got a ladycare magnet going spare if anyone wants to try it,thats if the thought of it being inside my knickers doesn't put you off,,and if you can remember to remove it before using the loo!

Thanks for the offer Patricia,but no thanks .lol I think I will give the magnet a miss!!!!

Still no baby!!!! . off to bed and here's hoping the phone don't ring in the middle of the night and give us all a shock.
night night

Morning girls, I've got this vision of myself walking round with my drawers clanking...with regard to the magnet!! So don't think it's for me.

AB glad to have you back!

That serenity cream sounds good, I'm tempted to by some when I get back from our break.

Bit cooler here today but the sun is shinning, so that's good.

Be back later I expect ladies.

Pam.xx

Morning Ladies,Can't stop.Have just taken the dog on his hols and am now off to get that grey coloured.Back later I expect.

Hi Jane, enjoy a bit of relaxation at the hairdressers.

I got some sleep last night and without phone calls. just takes a long time to relax.
I'm off to do some housework Yuck!!! keep putting off the ironing not a job I like, but do like to see the empty basket.

Hi AB
My pills are called Migraleve, I was first prescribed them from the doctor, but now I buy them over the counter, as the last time I saw my doctor about the migraines she wanted to change my pills and I didn't as I am not very good with different medications and usually have side effects quite often. apart from feeling like a zombie they help the headaches.
I take two pink pills at the sight of the flashing lights and then four hours later & can take two yellow ones if there's no improvement , normally I don't need the yellow ones.

Hi everybody.
WE HAVE A PLAN!!!!

Daughter no 1 just got back from the midwife and there is still no sign of this baby being anywhere near ready to come. so if nothing happens before next Tuesday, my daughter will go into hospital on Tuesday evening about 8 and will be given an examination and a pessery to get her in a prepared state for this baby, if she goes into labour great, if not they will then make arrangements for an induction some time on the Thursday depending on the availability of a bed, so hopefully I will be a granny this time next week. SO WE STILL PERHAPS HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER WEEK.
