Carole, sending my love to you and your Dad,

Ann, the night I was looking for her Grandparents and found her Grandad is most probably dead,and her Dad didnt care to say, she was with her friends and an adult got them alcohol, three of them got drunk, caused a problem and were locked in the cells over night,


She knows she was silly, but it has caused massive problems here, I am dreading tommorow, the person who supplied the drink , will get away with it,

Night all,


Caz xxxxxxxxxx

Well Dad stayed awake longer today and seemed to look a good bit better. Still not eating or drinking much. The doctor even talked about him going home next week. I didn't ever expect that. Just hope Mum can cope. She refuses to have help as it will not be when she needs it at six in the morning, if Dad needs the loo. Or if he wants to stay up later to watch Holby City or something.

Rach, oh dear did your mum not get good news? x

C Caz good luck tomorrow x

Y Caz how did you get on today? Joyce will be writing that book about you and your falls. We are all telling you to take care, and what do you do? x

Deanna where were you when I was bleeding? I forgive you, but be there next time xx How are you?

Gail we have to laugh at or pains or we would cry xx

Elaine thanks for pm.Take care xx

Eileen I'll be first to put in an order for the jam. Hope
your daughter soon gets rid of the migraine xx

Kathy pleased J has gone to do his retakes. Hope he gets good grades. Shame he just missed your visitor. Lovely to hear you had a good time talking together xx

My first washing machine was a twin tub. But the pump didn't work in the spinner. So I had to take the machine out into the yard and turn it upside down to empty the water. The clothes were spun in old spin dryer that jumped all over the kitchen! It's funny now when I look back. I used to sit on it to try to stop it jumping.

Caz ((((((hugs)))))) to you and hope all goes well tomorrow. Hope they are lenient with her whatever she has done. She is not a bad lass, just a bit off track at the moment. Maybe this will set her straight.

Hello all,

I am sending YCaz my love, as I cant find her thread, surely someone has not been nasty to her?


Can I ask for a hug for tommorow, I dont feel I can say why,because I worry people will judge, not you wonderful people of course. But I have a very difficult situation to face, Thanks all,

Message from YCaz, she is not sulking because of the remarks by our Sphinx friend. She has had another fall and is resting because she is in pain.

Please send her your thoughts.

I only had a washing machine - a twin tub which I loved, when my youngest was 7. So had two children with all the terry square nappies to wash. had a baby burco and a spin drier before the washing machine though.

Hi all, I had 4 children and only got my first washing machine AFTER my last one was out of nappies!

What a wonder I thought it was.... and it was.

God bless the man who designed them, and the man who bought me my first... and every one after that. ;-0)

see you all tomorrow. Not much to say today.
Just hope you are all doing well and feeling happy.

love Deanna XXX

Hi everyone, hope you do not mind me poking fun at my boil/carbuncle, but you just gotta laugh sometimes, yes they are uncomfortable, but nearly WMSL. Well if I am honest I did.

Hope everyone is okay, the boards have been very quite today. I decided to put some poetry on Ron in Wales thread, and enjoyed doing that. Very Ozzie stuff though.

Kathy I would moan and moan having to hand wash as well. I remember once when the kids were little and the same thing happened with my machine. I put all the washing in the bath with warm water and Lux Flakes, then got the kids to stamp on it, did the same for rinsing, the kids had a great time, and did not have to bath them that night. Got any kids nearby??

I have been really good today, actually did some sleuthing for my tree. I am waiting on some certificates I ordered. Havn't told OH yet, so will have to get to the VISA statement before he does.

love and hugs

Gail

You could try asking your local pharmacist what to do re the boils/carbuncles.
When I went away in May I noticed a red area at the side of my nail on my big toe, it looked unpleasant and hurt, so i asked at the chemist and he told me to use some magnesium sulphate paste which draws anything like a bump with pus in it.
Worked for my toe, it was the start of an ingrowing toenail so helped stop it getting really inflamed and painful. Don't think I would put it on open wound but might work on a spot or boil, google and check first.

I am so sorry Gail but it works for me! I hope it gets better soon? There are terrible things :¬(
Take care

Gail, I was just about to suggest that your 'boil' was a carbuncle. My aunt used to get a lot of these on the back of her neck. Have not heard of anyone having these things for yonks. It must be very painful! How can a doctor give a dianosis if he can't look at the 'nether regions'.?
As for St. John's Wort, well, you have all said it.Great if it works for those with a mild depression.

My youngest phoned me a couple of hours ago, when I was in the middle of making nectarine jam, to ask if I would go there tomorrow, stay with her this time, (partner will go to a hotel, to try catch up on some sleep)and go back friday afternoon, late-ish. Of course I will, but it is indeed short notice.She has had a very bad migraine since last week, can''t shake it off, because she is still breat-feeding baby Anna, so can't take her 'heavies' for this migraine.I had planned to make even more jam tomrrow. Couldn't resist buying 7 kilos of them yesterday, seeing as they were only 7 euros for the lot.Have now put the rest in the fridge to see to when I get back.
Phew, tiring work.
Hope everyone manages to get a good night's sleep, and wake up feeling refreshed enough to deal with another day.

Love to all.

Eileen xx

Oh NO, my boil is now a carbuncle. See I told you all it was like a pumpkin.

So looks like a trip to the doctor for antibiotics. Do not get me wrong, doctor is a lovely chap, but will not look at it there as is a devout Muslim.

Oh my bum :<((((((

You are right Lady Rose it did sting.

Gail

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!

I have just had a lovely time reading all the last two pages.
Have I missed something nasty then?
I did join in on a thread which said something about moaning... but pointed out how supported we all feel on here.
And we do.
Thank you for that Carole... I agree with you Joy, she did us all a favour.
and BLOOD???? You were bleeding and I was not here to hug you in your hour of need?
I'm sorry Carole... X

Betty, ST JOHNS WORT... what a helpful lady that EG must be.
I heard a doctor on TV a while ago, saying that St Johns Wort should NOT be taken without first speaking to your doctor.
I can't remember why, but it does seem that even herbal medicines can react against other things we may take.
For instance if we are on WARFARIN we cannot have CRANBERRY JUICE.
Now who would believe something like that could kill us?

Gail, I too can't see the point in knocking a thread which hurts no one and helps so many of us.

Ann... a boil? Laugh? ME? Never. tee hee.
But do go to the doctors all of you with boils... it is a sign that you are run down.
Run down.... us? not at all. ;-0)

Elaine, hang on in there love, they will fix him up and find out why he is not on his feet yet.
Do you think that he may have tried to push himself too hard at the beginning?
I know what men are like, they do not make good patients do they?

Mac Anne.... nice to see yah... to see yah nice! X ;-0)

Ann g.. I am freezing here. I am sleeping so very well these days... unusual lately.. so perhaps I slept through and it is October??? Certainly cold enough.

Anita and Gill and Joyce p.. thinking of you.xxx

And who was it, oh Gail I think ... who mentioned bread poultices?
My granny used to swear by them, as most grannies did then, and she used to amaze me by showing me how a piece of white bread would stop me bleeding if I fell!
What an amazing granny she was in my eyes.

Well my lovely pals, Allan is home now so I had better go and speak to him.
What a wife I am... he comes in I say hello, and leave him on his own in the room!! Don't know why he stays with me?? ;-0)

Have a great day, and look after yourselves.

Oh yes... and I'm fine today... or did you notice? ha ha ha

lots of love to all,
Deanna XXX

Well it is supposed to be good for you but I think that is internally!!!

My mum used to use bread poultices, white bread. I only have whole grain, would that work better??

Gail

OOh! Mine isn't that big, more of a marble. do tell me if you find a remedy!!
