Linda I was given antibiotics but as I am on warfarin they have a problem on what to give me Marilyn is right it is the inner ear that causes that. My doctor told me it takes time for it to go. sometimes you think it has gone and it comes back. Dr Kelly said when I replied I dont think I will every get rid of this. she replied O yea of little faith it goes and comes back with me. but as I suffer from Tinitus as well it is aloud noise all the time sometimes it gets so bad I have a constant headache.other times I get a white moment that is quiet no noise at all.

Maddie are you refering to my Cabbages ? lol

Evening all,
Linda hope you soon feel a lot better :-)
Stephen, Marilyn is now un-armed and definitely not dangerous so please come back :-(
Dermot thats funny, needed a laugh so more would be welcome.
I'm spitting feathers (not pheasant ones, lol). The blinds I ordered and paid for 2 days ago are not coming :-P Apparently they don't deliver to Channel Islands -no mention of that on their advert-. It's not exactly Outer Mongolia is it? I am so cross :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P Have to start searching again :-S

Just a quickie [as the actress said to the Bishop] ;-)

Yes I was referring to your cabbages Rita. ;-) Heard the Marie Lloyd song, She Sits Amongs the Cabbages and Peas? :-D

Mo I will be a good girl and slap on the cream tomorrow. I have quite fair skin and I burn before I go brown, so will be Factor 15 at least.

Big waves to the rest of the Friendlies.

Pauline.....Failed MOT......'Fluffy Paws' is a great wee mechanic, can fix anything.

My wee Grandaughters are away camping this weekend. Hope it stays good for them.

Morning everyone, looks like we are going to have another hot, sunny day here.
Linda, glad you slept well last night, hope you take it easy today and soon feel much better.
Stephen, just tea and toast for me please. I was so sorry to read about your friends death, nothing anyone says can make it easier for you, but at least she will be at peace now and not suffering. What lucky children your Grandchildren are to have a Grandad who spends so much time doing things with them, bet they love you to bits.
Rita, it was my pleasure to put Steve's birthday on, such a lot has happened to him in just 1 short year, hope he is able to enjoy his day today.
Hope everyone is ok, have a good day.
Take care and stay safe.
Jean xx :-) :-) :-)

Morning all hope you all have a good day.

Jean, Steve has the hospital for a check up on Tuesday 7th the same day as me but not the same hospital or time I hope he gets no hitch. He is getting on well at the moment he had a fainting spell and what upsets him is he cannot go for long walks like he used, too. him and my daughter walked for miles.but this time last year we didnt think he would make it but prayers and positvie thought pulled him through that. He is 61 years old today.
I am off to Norfolk with them next sunday week, if my check up goes OK ? I cannot wait to see all my old firends and neighbours.sometimes I feel quiet homesick for Norfolk.

Stephen I was going to have porriaget this morning, then I remembered my mother in Law used to put salt in hers so changed my mind she said porriage needs salt in.

Grapefruit is out cannot eat that due to my warfarin so I will have the poached egg please. with toast.

Linda hope your tablets start working soon .

Rita <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D

Rita,

Porridge and salt..........that's the norm in Scotland. And , of course , milk.

But you can add what you want to it.

In the mountains or Arctic with no milk I used to add a knob of butter to mine.

I have often made my own Muesli (Spl) with the dry porridge oats.

I know folk who add sugar and others who use jam.

It's all down to taste. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning all, we've got the same weather as you Stephen, it was mad hot yesterday with not a breath of wind but today it's windy and a bit nippy.

Rita, Steve was born just a couple or weeks before me, hope he has a lovely day and hope his health improves.

Glad you're feeling a bit better now Linda, maybe the tablets are working already.

Marilyn, I've never heard of having chocolate and porridge together.

Jean, can you send some of that hot sun up here please?

Mo, it was nothing serious........... just high cholesterol, I was a bit surprised though because it's always been low before.


Edit: Stephen, I don't think Marilyn was talking about going to the store, I think food cooked outside was what she had in mind............ LOL
