@Oioiqueen the dykes are overflowing in Lincolnshire and we've had unrelenting gloom for weeks! A bit brighter today but probably not for long.

It's belting down still here. V gloomy but I'm in bed and just dozed again. Shame Saturday seems to have gone so fast as I've dozed a lot.

You are recharging your batteries!

Haha yes...like an ancient Nokia phone.v v slowly and needs doing often 😁

You appear to be thrashing us in the football though.

Ha ha yes

Surely more like Seven of Nine in Star Trek Voyager, not a hair out of place!

Pitiful. We gave up!

Well it's only a game! Better luck next time.

(Not a bit interested in football btw)

I'm not interested either, but for the parking issues and I can hear the cheers from my back garden!

Home Park? Driven past there loads. DH is a janner and his family all used to live in the city 🌊

I can understand that! Years ago we rented a house near Lincoln City stadium and it was mayhem on match days.

@TeaAndStrumpets @TodayIsatrickyone She doesn't really like the nappies and will try and wriggle out of them but found some brilliant braces! https://amzn.eu/d/0el14Rp5
Washable pants with pads. Can use MIL nappy bin and then throw the pants in with her wet stuff.

Brilliant! Braces sound rather cute.

Yoga was so hard. A lot of sitting on my mat and child's pose while everyone else did the hard stuff.
Meh. I tried.

@Stressybetty what a fab idea the braces are!

@Hedjwitch you did brilliantly to go and do what you could do. Think of not managing the tricky bits more in terms of it excellent pacing!

Ha...not a Trekkie but if you say so .. sounds good 😊

Sorry for the disappearing act - so much pain. The filling I got done was mercury in a back tooth right next to a gold crown and the two metals are galvanising in my mouth - actual electrical current shocks, never known pain like it and the tension of bracing for it because it comes in a flash out of nowhere rather than being a consistent predictable pain - urghhh. On top of my usual pain. It's been a fucking week.

My apologies I haven't read the other posts, just so tired ladies. Hope everyone is coping okay.

Blimey that sounds awful. Is it sorted out now? Dental stuff can be stressful (and expensive)

@Realisation14 that sounds awful, could they not have used an alternative filling?

@Realisation14 that is horrifying. Hope you get it sorted soon.

@Realisation14 that's dreadful. I hope you get relief from it very soon.

Morning all!

A bit of sunshine here.

Does anyone else with me/cfs get sensitive joints during a flare? I've hurt my knuckles emptying the dishwasher, picking up 3 or 4 dinner plates at a time between my fingers. It is absolutely ridiculous!

DH birthday part 2 today. We have DS, his GF and my parents coming for Sunday lunch. And DD will facetime in 😁

DH will do all the cooking so I just have to sit and chat, which will be quite enough as I'm tired from yesterday 🥱

Have a restful day all 💕

Sounds lovely @Swanhilde . Enjoy your day!
