Welcome to the buddy bench, we look forward to meeting you all

Oh and don't forget, last one to leave polishes bench and locks up!

Cheerful . My dh refuses to put ours up until two weeks before Christmas

Glad you are feeling better go but that sicky hangover feeling after one is horrible.

I have started a thread in food about family meals - PLEASE go and post meal suggestions as I am in such a rut...

Added a few Valium, hope they are not duplicates as I didn't read the whole thread . Had to go and make myself a snack, LOL!

Thanks! All ideas really appreciated. I have realised I am not bored it's just I can't stand cooking savoury foods - if I could cook cakes and muffins all day I would be very happy!

I have ANOTHER bad headache, not quite enough to make me need to go and lie down but enough to make me feel sick and queasy urrrrgggggggggh.

Looking forward to X Factor tonight!

Ugh Valium, sorry to hear that. Do you have anything that helps? Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry Valium . :( Caffeine always helps me but then I run the risk of a rebound headache.

I went to see the new Footloose last night and really liked it! I was surprised because I loved the old one.

That's about all I'm up to. :)

Morning! :)

I ended up having an early night and feel better this morning, just ever so slightly frail and queasy iykwim? I find it hard to take pain killers as they end up making me feel sick - this is a new thing so don't know if they are putting different ingredients in them...

I don't drink caffeine at all yanky, maybe I should try!

I remember Footloose, sounds fab!

Oh you poor thing valium I find Nurofen plus tablets are the only thing that helps my headaches . I had a headache last week that lasted 3 days until i took the Nurofen . Does anyone else's head feel sore to even brush their hair after a bad headache or am i just weird ?

I watched "The Orphanage" before bed last night and scared the pants off myself

It's the Nurofen that has been making me feel sick elmo which is a shame because it does work. I ended up taking some of ds's Calpol last night

Not heard of The Orphanage - have seen Orphan, that was good in a totally unbelievable way

OOh i loved Orphan Another good film is Case 39 Renee Zellweger is in it . You can see the trailer here www.imdb.com/title/tt0795351/

Could you try take Motilium tablets for the sickness ? They are great .

Not heard of Motilium, I will look out for them next time I'm in Boots, thanks.

Motilium is something i always keep in stock for upset tummies It stops D&V bugs almost instantly . Hope your feeling better soon xxx

It's a miserable day here , non stop rain

I think DH and I are going to work on the hardwood floor today. I just want it to be done ! :)

Ew, Orphan! I cannot watch scary movies at all! They make me cry

No scary movies for me either, but I loved the original Footloose! Must have watched it fifty times, lol!

Hope you're feeling better by now Valium, I know exactly what you mean about that next day yuckiness. No pills that help for me, but I do take Gravol when I take my injections as they make me feel queasy as well. Probably called something else there though. Oh and you're not weird Elmo, I can't stand the hairbrush either when I have a migraine. Something about the blood vessels in your head dialating, makes your scalp really sensitive?

Good luck with the hardwood Fearful, I'm sure it will be beautiful when you're done! :)

I had that hair thing while I was at the hairdresser's yesterday - made me nearly throw up I felt so sick every time they put foils in

Pork chops, roast potatoes and veg anyone?

I bet you'll like the new one GoMummy . They stayed true to the feeling of the original. :)

I hate the hungover thing. My bad migraines are a three day affair...Day One is head-splitting pain, Day 2 is the hangover pukey feeling, and Day 3 is absolute, been-hit-by-a-train exhaustion. Yuck!

Mmm, that sounds good Valley !

Sounds lovely Valium, do you deliver?

I will be impressed by it then, Cheerful, I was thinking that the new one couldn't possibly touch it!

Really good description of the migraine progression. I get the aura beforehand so am "fortunate" to have some warning, but the horrible pain usually lasts longer than a day or two. Just gets worse and worse until I am basically a non-functional wreck, get sick, sleep heavily, then wake up with the pain gone but hangover/exhaustion here. That part only lasts about 12 hours for me though.

Do you all know your triggers? Mine (all four) are unfortunately unavoidable. Ah well, at least I am not affected by lovely aged cheeses! :)

Mine seems to be on the last day of my period (TMI!) so wondering if it is hormonal...

Have heard of lots of people with a hormonal trigger Valium. Hard to avoid though!

With me it's mostly stress and high blood pressure that causes them although sometimes i get them after sex strenuous activities (TMI sorry)

Cheerful please post a pic of the floors when they are finished

LOL

Elmo!

:o

Not enough sleep, too much sugar or sugary stuff. Those seem to be the main ones. Oh, and not following my GF diet of course, though it's been years so I forget about that one.

Are you totally GF Fearful? I'd love to find some tasty GF recipes. There's such poor selection in the stores here and it costs a fortune.
