No, because I have had since last Thursday, or that was when the burning pain started, it is too late to treat with aclivar so just have to let it run its course. Go back if it feels worse. At least I got him to take me off dispersable aspirin.

Awww sorry to hear you have shingles Ann, and hope it is not too distressing. I had it years ago and the lovely doctor gave me daily injections of B12 and I felt on top of the world! Told me to avoid sunshine.

Just going to have some lunch now. Nice to see Daff is back with us:)) lol BC XX

My arm is painful which makes me fed up but I feel fine in myself, been out in the sun the past four days, didn't know I had it then. But I don't have a bad rash, don't think it will develop any more so hopefully it will be a short session.

Ann so glad your not pregnant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am really sorry that you have shingles, look after yourself, need you better before you go on holiday.
Hi Daff, well not sure what to say to you, wmsl.
Night everyone, sleep well, x

O Lookee a PB free zone

~~~~~~~~~~~~


Susan :-)))))))))))))))))))))

morning
Ann hope your arm will get more comfortable soon
it is grey again here yesterday it turned into a lovely day so am hopeful again that it will do the same i have got washing in so will see

Hopefully it is just time before the arm is comfortable. I don't suppose I help because I don't stop doing things, never was one for 'resting', still it doesn't feel quite so painful this morning. See what the day brings.

Susan, long may it last!!!!

Good Morning Good Morning., and how are you today!!

Beautiful morning, R about to leave for work, I have just finished my breakfast, and then I am off out, on my own, lolol I might have lunch out, even.

I am going somewhere really exciting..... the timber yard! lolol I have ordered topsoil for next week, so now need to get the beds made up.... B says he will do them,,,, but his measuring was a bit hit and miss, lolol.... so not sure I am going to let him loose. But the timber will be cut to size for me, so no room for error. I have just re-measured to be absolutely certain.... and I can do collect that myself, as they will load the car for me, and B can unload it the other end... simples, lolol

Wmsl @ Susan and Mummo, lolol

Maz, do you want my washing as well, lolol!!

Off for my shower now, and then out to play... see you all later, Have a brilliant day!

Love

Daff xxxx

~~~~~~~~ good morning to Ann as well.... glad it feels a bit better this morning!! xxxx

Daff no thanks as its raining lol

Hope you have enjoyed your day out Daff, we went to tesco and, of course, by the time I had loaded the conveyor (T was packing) and put away at home my arm now hurts again .

~~~~~~ quickly.... dropped off some of my purchases... off to the Garden Centre now.... Yeh!!!

See you all later, lolol!!

Maz, it is still beautiful here!!

Love

Daff xxxx

you can have mine lol then its drying up here slowly so i may be lucky

morning all
it is a gey start again here just looking at the forcast it should be better today though .the painting is done just tidying up and curtains too wash etc now

Morning Maz, Daff and all:) Grey misty day here too, Maz. Have been observing a pigeon (my favourite birds NOT!) and she appears to be nesting in my jasmine! The cheek! She is doing it from spite I am sure...lol...

Am off to garden centre when I get back from the park, and then have a friend coming but am being taken out for a Lebanese meal tonight so I dont have to bother cooking. Good!

Hope Ann's arm is a bit better today. BC XX

Absolutely freezing here!!!

Morning all,
l'm not a happy bunny today :(((
Rehab let us know last week that a flat had come up ( rehab had to see it also to see if it was suitable) and was ours if we wanted it, was in Southsea looking over the sea., so l spoke to the lady from housing yesterday and couldn't believe what they had offered us.
Eddie needs to be able to get into the building with no steps...........this flat had 8 steps to get to the main door.
The flat was on the second floor..........yes it had a lift she said but it keeps breaking down.
No parking but can park on the road with residents permit so you don't have to pay.................went there yesterday at 3.00pm and no parking places what soever.
Bath only.............Ed needs a shower.
The council knows our needs thats why we are at the top of the list so why does a housing association offer us the complete opposite.
Rant over, lol.
Weather is dull here so not going out today.
Having my hair done tomorrow, its been driving me mad so will feel better tomorrow when it cut and not such a mess.
Well ladies hope you all have a good day. x

Brrrrrr it is very cold here, too, Julia, but the forecast for here is brighter later. So fingers xxx'd

Don't care though.... the heating has just gone back on!! lolol

I have to go for a medical later.... so that the DWP can pay me...... zilch, zero, nothing!! lol I am hoping I will at least qualify for my NI stamp to be paid now. However, if they decide that I am fit enough to work, then I shall throw a wobbly, and not bother.... I get a letter from them once a month saying I am still not entitled to benefits.

The reason I have done it is so that my stamp is eventually paid, and also, I wouldn't be added to any statistics otherwise... I would be a non person. I wanted to be counted, leading up to an election. I am one of those who slip through loopholes, you see. I am good at that!!

The garden is looking a little better every day, as more and more plants wake up and start stretching in the sunshine. We could do with a spot of rain, actually.... we have needed to water all the pots the last couple of days.

BC your Jasmine is doing lovely, lolol I can see it from my desk, here. Taff presented me with beautiful lilies for my birthday, and they are also showing their heads... they are in a tub at the back, and Ann gave me a stunning patio rose for my birthday too... it flowererd right up until just before Christmas.... and it now has masses of new leaves, and I think there were a couple of tiny buds on it yesterday, too. That I have put so that I can see it every time I look out of the hall or kitchen windows... and Daffodils! I have tubs and tubs full of them, and the flowerbeds as well..... beautiful!

~~~~~~ to everyone... Maz, you are far too energetic!! However, I am inspired... I might get some wallpaper and paint for our bedroom when I am out today........ maybe, lolol!!

I am finding it difficult to balance garden/swearing/craftwork/sprucing and tarting the house up.... not enough stamina to do it all, and if I was a bit more organised I am sure I would do better! lol

Must go and start getting ready for this medical... not until 1.20, but it is awkward to park there, so I'll need to be there early, and I can't remember where I put the paperwork... thought it was on the fridge door, but it isn't.

*sighs* see what I mean about getting organised???

Have a lovely day, everyone.

Love

Daff xxxx

Aw Mummo..... it's because they employ people with degrees in Pluto or Tom Jones, who are still wet behind the ears and have no conception or perception.... that's how it should be at their age, but then, they shouldn't be in the sorts of jobs that the requested qualifications rule out people like me, lolol Now that is a job I could do!!

Love

Daff xxxx

Morning Daff, yes they have said it is going to brighten up here, this afternoon. I hope so. I have started to Cuprinol my trellis arches around the patio, and want to carry on whilst I am in the mood, and before the Clematis put on too much growth. The down side is that trellis has a back and a front, and insides, and I sometimes think it is a 'Forth Road Bridge' job. Didn't get done last year because of my illness, so I want to persever, while I can.
I meant to tell you, I bought a hanging signe in the gatdrn centre the other day, which I have hung on my back door. It says "Old gardeners never die, they just SPADE away". Really made me laugh.
Have a good day, and give'm grief if you have to. LOLOL

Good day Daff and All
Geting a little brighter here,with patches of blue sky so fingers crossed for a nice afternoon. We've certainly had some beautiful days,I've been feeling bit better so have been out visiting.

Hope your medical goes wel Daff. and you go from strength to strength! xx

Have a lovely day BC and enjoy your meal out,don't think I've had a Lebanese.xx

Maz you wear me out lol....(i'm remembering the days when I was like you,don't forget your Me time xx)

I'm not surprised you're ranting Mummo,you've every right! hope you and Eddie are offered something better suited for your needs. Hope Eddie is getting stronger now.xx

I like that quote Julia,lots of them isn't there? I always chuckle at " Genealogists never die they just lost their Census!" xx
