Hello Everyone

 Apologies Ladies. Mouse is playing up this morning and also hands and cannot get colour or size in your post Jean amd finding it difficult to even get my own post on here.  Hope you all have a good day and will have to leave it until tomorrow and hope everything is working properly in the morning.

   On and off all day I have been trying to sort out this computer problem and earlier this evening I found that Mozilla Firefox, which is the browser I use mainly, had been deactivated (probably one of the Windows updates drawing attention to its own browsers)- growllll....  Anyway now reactivated this browser with new password, so hopefully I should find it easier to get on here, post and catch up tomorrow.

Wishing you Ladies a restful and peaceful evening and night.

 Hello All.

Dian looking back to Monday I see you lost a post, so just wasn't me having trouble and it was a wild and wet day for you.  Yes, shame about Margaret and that fall, because she too has trouble with her knees and does a lot to keep the club running, but with bank holiday next week, it gives her a couple of weeks off.  Yes we enjoyed seeing Kylian and Hunter and spent a pleasant hour with them. One of the presents was a Sea Life ticket to visit the one in Birmingham, at a date of their choosing, plus his Superman bedding. On Tuesday more rain forecast for you.  Hope your club visit has gone well today.

Jean, new shoes to buy and I know there are only a few places you like to buy them because of the size and fit.  Hope you will be okay after your jab on Friday.  Unusually I did get affected when I had mine, but soon over it. Sorry I cannot alter fonts or colour for you at the moment - my hands won't work well doing that at the monent.

Barbara, but better weather your way yesterday with lovely sunshine.  Hope the prescription from Moorfields has arrived for you and good job you phoned them directly.

Still keeping posts shorter than usual because it is the lack of feeling in the fingers that keeps my posting really bad and hope you all enjoy the rest of the day  

I hsd to take car to garage for a tyre senser today and it cost £140 this after paying out £250 on Friday for MOT do not know how much longer I will keep it
so sorry your have been ill Pauline and hjope the jab only gives me a sore arm

the weather is horrible again been out with dog and it feels like rain now.l off for the dreaded jab later

  At last some sunshine and I have been really fed up with the amount of rain over the last week and this morning I have managed to get colour and fonts in that post of yours Jean (and there is a reason for that and will explain that later) and see you got the covid jab and now got a sore arm, but expect that wlll soon wear off for you.

The reaaon for having hands I can use this morninig, is that yesterday after such a bad day and not being able to do much at all because of the aches and pains, I got to 7.30 in the evening and was dreading the night to come, no longer having the confidence (because of the pain) to get a bath or even try the shower and still having to have wash downs, so did that and shampooed  my hair and rinsed it off with jugs of water and just towel dried it - no perm left in it and I cannot feel to get rollers in to set it, which doesn't last without a perm.  After going through all of that I just knew that drastic action was needed.

Instead of taking two Zappain, I took three and was careful to sit for a while until the unsteady feelings wore off and found that the relief from those 3 together, lasted until at least 9.30 this morning, from 8 the previous evening. Have taken another 3, waited for a while and now able to get on with things nearly pain free.  Normally would be taking 2 three times a day, but with this process, that is working, over the course of 24 hour am taking just under the 6 a day and doing it my way it is working.  I cannot describe to you the awful burning pins and needles in the fingers, yet strangely the lack of feeling also.  Anyway with this post am making the most of using my hands this morning.

Dian, I have had a talk with Susi and on Tuesday she will be here and she is going to use the home perm on me.  She has never done this before, but I said to her that the directions are so clear and with Aimie's advice (who does a lot of home colouring, etc., on her own hair and her Mum's) she will be okay and so willl  I be so relieved at getting that done.  I have used those perms on my hair for years and also did my Mum's and always been happy with  them and even if I have to leave a couple of sets into a towel dry jobs, I will at least be able to get it up in my flexi combs again. I know when you had your perm the other day it leaves you feeling so much better.  See you have blossom on both of your apple trees and your granddaughter took you shopping this week as your daughter is at the caravan. Weather not looking promising your way today and you still have a sore arm from the covid jab..

Barbara, certainly such a saga with regard to the eyedrops and different information from the pharmacy and Moorfields and I do hope you get help from your GP.  After shopping and going to the pharmacy, David got to the terrain and you have got your full exercises done and I am off to do mine next while thankfully free of pain.  Enjoy the time with Andrew over this Bank Holiday weekend.

Jean, I expect by now you have enjoyed the walk with Peanut in the lovely sunshine we have here.

Enjoy  your Saturday Ladies.

Hi Ladies.  My posts must seem like a medical diary, but keeping to this new regime with the tablets and it seems to be working and the tablets taken at just after 10 last evening, were still working when I woke up again at 9 this morning.  At 4 this morning, after sleeping from midnight, I did wake up and did an hour's reading and a bit of paperwork and then back to sleep until just after 9 this morning and did some physio and stripped the bed again (as still free from pain).   Got up and washed, had breakfast and got the laundry in washing machine and didn't take any further tablets until 11.30 this morning.  

At midday Susi arrived and cleared all of the bagged rubbish into her car. I managed to help clear another load of rubbish, which was mainly the old rotting bamboo edging and Susi cut up some of the larger branches of ivy and cleared that all off of the bench where that had been left - that went into another couple of sacks and she took that off down to the recycling centre (or civic tip as we call it).  She will be back on Tuesday to continue with the cutting back in the garden and Aimie will be here to do the perm.

I have just vacuumed the already dusted lounge and after this will get back upstairs to remake the bed and search out the old towels needed when using the perming lotion on Monday.  If I am still going okay after that and free from pain, then more physio and then back downstairs to vacuum through the dining room and kitchen.

Dian, I am gradually getting sorted and as you have said, once the perm has been done then everything will feel a whole lot better.  Shame the  weather still isn't that good your way, but we have been lucky today with plenty of sunshine - hope it improves for you, so you can get back to your gardening.

Jean hope the arm is better now after the jab.

Barbara, expect you are making the most of the weekend as Andrew is with you.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon Ladies and have a good evening.

 Hi Ladies.  

Probably did too much yesterday and when it came to taking tablets at gone midnight last night, well that didn't work out too good.  I think I fell asleep too quickly and was laying  awkwardly, so woke up a bit later with awful cramp and was awake for quite a while before that wore off and I got to sleep agaln.

Awake before 7 this morning and still didn't feel too good, so got a light breakfast and went back to bed to catch up on some recorded t v.  Haven't taken any further tablets until 2 and that was only 2 of them.  Rested for a while and have now sorted out all of the perming items and old towels for tomorrow. Yesterday my bed got remade and lounge finished, dusted and cleaned dining room and kitchen, plus did a lot of laundry, so probably did a bit too much, so being careful today. I still need to vacuum around the already dusted and cleaned dining room and kitchen and my bedroom and bathroom still need doing but need to make sure I don't overdo things.

Jean, I do hope the painful arm wore off and you were able to go to your bowls, which you enjoy  Not long to wait for your B12 injection and sounds as if you need it.

Expect the weekend is still going well for Barbara and David, with Andrew staying with them.

Dian, well the timing of my tablets didn't work out too well over night, but hopefully back on track with them now and so looking forward to the perm tomorrow.  Always the same, no sooner that the blossom is on the trees, then the wind has it away again and weather not improving your way.

Enjoy your evening Ladies and wishing you a peaceful nght.
