Good Morning Early Bir

[emmie]

morning everyone, i hope today finds you well and that whatever your day brings you it's all good. I will be calling the GP today as my sciatica if that is what it is, isn't loosening up and perhaps need something else to ease the pain i am in. I have tried the codeine but that has unwanted side effects. Anyway let us not dwell on that, it will get sorted. Does anyone have anything planned for today? Isn't this week going quickly, we will soon be at the end of August, and a Bank Holiday next week, where does the time go...

[emmie]

don't know why the title missed a bit, sorry about that, so Good Morning Early Birds. Perhaps Ed can put it right....

Morning Emmie. I'm really thankful for the Bank Holiday as it gives us an extra day to get things done around here.

I also have Thurs / Fri off work next week and we're going to see Riverdance and have a nice restaurant booked.

Then the following week ... FINALLY ... the kitchen is being fitted (fingers crossed).

[emmie]

morning Lcg
sounds exciting to be doing all that. May you enjoy Riverdance, and that your kitchen goes according to plan.

[LadyCG]

Thank you, Emmie. I hope your sciatica gets sorted.

[emmie]

me too, its been excruciating at times, and no amount of stretching has helped. My right hip is the worst part of it, sitting still seems to make it stiffen up and that doesn't help. still i am sure it will go in time so no good getting all moody about it.
how is Miles doing....

i had to get the council plumber out to unblock the loo, yuck i thought, it took them 8 hours to get to me, not good standard of service, i was told and it turned out to be true, they have only one plumber on for emergency call outs, this is for the whole of the borough, so he turned up at 9 pm, then told me he had 11 other call outs to do - what a shambles.

He was tired and grumpy after Nursery yesterday. He still likes a 2-hour nap in the daytime but doesn't get this at Nursery so he's always grumpy when he gets home.

He's going to Nanny and granddad's today so he can have a little nap.

He's always slept like a trooper, right from birth.

I hope the Dr can optimise your pain control. Have you tried a hot water bottle? I found mine invaluable when I had the horrendous pleuritic pain from pneumonia. It helped more than the painkillers to be honest.

[emmie]

no i haven't tried a hot water bottle, perhaps i will see if the chemist has one.

[emmie]

poor wee man, lets hope he gets some sleep today....

[Bobbisox1]

To see if the Canaries are still on Amber

[emmie]

i could do with a holiday as i haven't been anywhere abroad for years sad to say. Last outing was to Kos with my brother, we had a great time.

Morning all, the moon is out again as the sun rises across this hallowed western side of the country....all peaceful out there for the moment, not even the birds squawking - which is a tad unusual.

Not sure what's planned for today - got to bash on with the admin side of things...

morning Dtc
