Morning Phylis

Hope you had a good night and got over yesterday what you up to today? I would love to get a knitting machine I love knitting and am doing some at the mo but my hands only let me do so much.

Just got back from walk in centre gp your right Joan got the start of glandular fever as you know I don't take medicines know so going to find herbal ways on net that keep me busy fir the day

Oh Dear sorry to hear that you be carefull what you take don't let yourself get to ill and do what you already do drink plenty to help flush it out.

If you need a good moan or just a chat im always here .Hope you feel better very soon. x

Feel ok imyself just aches and keep having to swallow and clear my throat doc said I literal just got it need to find something to help drinking honey water which seems to calm it but doing more research got BBQ tomoz so got 24 hrs to get myself together even if I stay for hour

aww bless you hope your daughter don't get it as well that's all you need. It is hard when you don't feel like drinking you could try some ice poles that what I have when mines sore it takes the swelling down as well .

Hello Joan & Kaz,

Re the knitting Joan, I have arthritis in my thumb joints so only use the machines now but haven't done through the summer because the garden and other things get in the way. Will get back to it as soon as the autumn kicks in, have to make sure that I have got warm woollies for the winter.

Poor Kaz, all, my three had glandular fever when they were young and it was awful. My daughter was about 12 and was taken into hospital in an ambulance as her throat swelled up so much. She was kept in for a while. The boys were in their teens and were quite bad. If I remember, I don't think that antibiotics help it but I am not sure if you can cope with it on your own, especially if you are going to a BBQ tomorrow. You will be better off in bed with a good book or watching TV and eating ice cream or something cold. I do hope that you will be better soon.

Hi girls honey drinks ok sucking loads of cough candy just had lavender bath and laying on bed throat still feels like I've burnt the inside of my mouth tonsils now red raw not looking good for tomoz tried all herbal cures with now effect but early days yet tempreture gone up to 100f so really think bed rest and loads if water only option now why me and now think I being punished for earlier teenage life

Chris got fan back down and Emma doing her nurse maid trick just thought chris cooking stand by this not looking good

Hi Kaz glad you got your temperature down now you may start to get better but it will take some time so take it easy I would say shame about bbq but there's always next week but the problem with our weather it changes so much lol

About food its funny I can do a dish where I put slimming world wedges only a few and baked beans bit of chop up bacon then melt some cheese on top no problem to me at all ' I can eat cheese on toast no problem but I have a slice of toast with butter and I can feel my tum turn not pain just yukky.
