loobie Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sorry I havent been posting but I have been keeping up to date on my phone, but it is so hard to post on there - I have actually managed to get on the pc today! Snow and Amy thanks so much I may just take you up on your offers. Well the news here is that I am moving :cheer: to say I am happy is an understatement. Only thing is that I am moving before Christmas so things are a bit hectic here lol Had my delivery from Dogstar and I must admit the quality of items is amazing - thank you so much Sam and Mark Im not sure if I have posted this but I now have an up to date photo of my boys (although their dad is in the photo too ) if I have posted it before sorry but here it is sorry for the size but I dont understand the new photobucket and cant resize it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Aw Loobie, your boys are all growed up. Handsome lads Kittycat that dress is gorgeous Be careful in the snow Jazz. We have no snow - tis damp and misty and cold here. Glad you had a good night out with workmates Alex. Sounds like being made redundant from your old job was the best thing to happen to you.

blackmagic Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Tip for waking up with muscle cramps: keep a large ceramic tile by your bed. If you get cramp, swing over into sitting position and get foot of affected limb on to the cold tile and keep there until cramp has gone. My father was prone to cramp in his leg after he had a DVT in it. The bedroom had lino in the window bay, beside the bed, and he used to dive across the bed and put his foot on the cold lino.

collies r best Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow love the dress! Over here fatal road accidents are rare and we've just had 2 in under a week. Last thursday a seven year old was killed and just this morning a 'young man' has also died. Really feel like crying for the families , its so devastating. The little girl was my Jodies friend sister, Jodie was upset as the sister was still sent to school the next day and just cried all day.A couple of times she dozed off and the teachers told them to leave her and let her sleep but it really upset Jodie seeing her friend like that.

Yantan Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Snow are you on BP meds? Some can cause cramping. I was on some once and a really severe cramp came on whilst I was out walking the dogs in the back of beyond. It left my calf so sore that I had trouble getting back to the car.

gooster Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Such a shame CRB when any life is lost in a road accident, but a 7 year old is just tragic Have logged on here on my work computer - loving the Christmas skin Glad everything is getting sorted for you Loobie I hope I haven't hurt myself too Griff - for the first time in my life, I am enjoying exercise, and seeing results too, which is really motivating, not good if I have to take time out from it all. Have bought some multi vitamins to help balance my diet a bit, just in case I am lacking any essential minerals that my body needs to cope with the extra work it is doing.

snow Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I am on BP meds and HRT - however I haven't taken any for a couple of weeks - keep forgetting *ooops* not on anything else I do wake up quite dehydrated in this house, problem is I am used to sleeping with the window open at night but can't do that here as the bedroom is at the front of the bungalow and I would feel a bit vulnerable, though now I've written that I feel a bit daft as I have both Rob & Nog in the room with me and I doubt anyone would be daft enough to try climbing in a front window in full view of the street. I don't think thats the cause of the cramps though as I got them in Lyneham too from time to time - this morning I just dived out of bed and did the heel down toes up stretch and then stood on tippy toes for a bit, but thats no fun at all when you also have a very full bladder ... fingers crossed I have managed not to actually tear the muscle this time.

Collies - who would send a little girl to school when her sister has just died? Loobie, your boys are all growed up - hasn't time flown?! Yay for own desk. I got sent to school when my baby sister died, I was 6 at the time. Think it was because my dad still had to go to work (we are talking over 40 years ago) and my mum wasn't in any fit state to look after me and my sister.

suzeanna Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I was sent to school the day after my dad died...it was horrible. I don't know what the thinking was behind it but it certainly upset me, at nearly seven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Too much for a child to cope with, and how is a teacher supposed to deal with a traumatised child as well as teach the rest of the class? We went tracking and I got really chilled, and not in the laid back sense either, which is odd as I was well wrapped and moving at Wispa's forced march speed. Spent a few hours in bed with elec blanket on, have mostly warmed up. Doglet in question is running a circuit which includes her home area, we think she is sleeping at a derelict farm which has barns with straw in.
