Oh Tina

Bless, am so luvin your name Katrina, tis so pretty. :))

How kind to help others ... not only do we meet friends through our trees but here too.

So pleased we're friends, wishing you such a good day at work.

xxx Shimms xxx

Joanie ... remember those splinters lol!

No seriously, well done ... and you know what, you're trying and that's what counts.

Had forgotten about Vicks, tis good isn't it. I use a Sudafed plug-in to help me breathe at night, it circulates a menthol aroma which truly helps; also Carvol on my pillow.

Who's Vick?! Sorry, couldn't resist, norti Shimms! roflol

Morning all~~~~
OOOOHHHH! I just remembered something on here a while back, about remedies to stop you coughing at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rub Vicks into the soles of your feet, put on an old pair of socks before you go to bed.
Loads said it worked!!, I havent had the need to try it myself(touch wood),
But anythings worth a go?

Morning All,

Was doing my ironing at 5.30 SA time! I like to do it
before the day warms up.
We are 2 hours ahead of you Shimms.

Have cleaned the fridge and then the grocery
cupboards, been a real busy little bee(not so sure about the little)
this morning!

I remember my Mom always telling me to rub
Vicks on the soles of my daugher's feet
when she was a baby.

Val..

Morning Val

I'm the same in the Summer, like to have it done and out of the way before the heat rises.

I've washed up ... my son was supposed to last night and didn't, done other things too.

Off to do things, try to have the energy to wash my hair, twill be your lunchtime now. xxx

Taff, Vicks on the feet ... was there a thread once, Old Fashioned Remedies .. think so, can't remember. Vicks and more, things you forget, seem to work the best sometimes.

Lunch over, dishes done.

Took what I thought was savoury mince from
the freezer, unlabelled, and after I had
thawed it in the microwave, it turned out to
be..... Gravy!!!! Teach me to label things!

Hi Blue Moon

Oh hun, makes sense if you're chest is really bad ... has he given you anything to help?

I've just slept for 3 hours, thought I was feeling better then suddenly, such fatigue ...

ShimmsRedRoseAndMistletoe Report 20 Jan 2009 16:51

Alko, what you like lol?!

Was wondering ...

So many of us are not well, others missing from the boards, not sure whether to put a thread up where we can just come and chat, check up on those who are ill ...

Good that you had a nice long sleep Shimms,
you need to rest. Over here too those who
have had the flu are taking some time to get over it.

You too, take care Blue Moon.

Oh bless, Val ... thank you.

Is it like the Russian Flu from years ago, seems to have many different strains. A close friend can hardly speak, is shivering and aguey, another is like me ...

SuperGranAlko,you Cheeky beggar.....lol


Shimms,although a lot of rubbish,theirs no infection so its just time really,
last week i was told to take paracetamol and ibuprofen alternately every 2 hours,I must admit Ive taken some each day but not every 2 hours, that would have been 18 tablets a day + my regular ones,making it up to 25 a day,i don't think so.....I'd have been back to the doctors to get something for my upset stomach.......lol


You must sleep if your tired,let your body repair its self
