New thread. We're picking up speed!

Night night!

Firefly you have done well m'dear that is a great start to the sorting .
The candles smell nice Nero, not strong but pleasant enough l must say. l was totally surprised how good it was for £4. You are dead right they won't do a thing about your toe but they can be incredibly painful, ouch indeedy!
Wreck that is fabulous! That millionaires shortbread sounds delish!

Morning!

I've been awake ages. For no reason. Sigh!

We're going to the park today, then I'm tidying the garden (might even be able to mow the lawn this afternoon) while the kids help DH with washing the car.

Then they can do their homework while I cook dinner.

Hello fellow counterparts. I have been mia for a while. I'm in Turkey very nice you say I was taken ill on the plane straight to hospital. Emergency pneurothormax then a couple of days later a repair and a big blood filled cyst removed so far I have no idea how long it'll take I'm keep in my busy with virtual Christmas planning lots of sleep and I now contain more medicine than boots the chemist .I might be a stone lighter too...

Oh my god, 70. How awful. Get well soon!

How is the hospital? Do they speak English or are you having a Turkish crash course?

Has your DH had to go home for work?

OMG 70 how awful! Hope you are well enough to come home soon.

70 I'm pleased you're ok how scary for you all.

I've got the worst sore throat and have been awake most the night. The dc slept in until 8 though and dh is just making an appearance

My kids slept in til 8 too. I woke at 6.15. Sodding typical! (Glad they slept though!)

Wreck, gargle salt water; it should help!

Wreck, I've got this too, have had for the last couple of days, horrendous. I did try gargling salt water last night as Fluffy recommended and it is much better today.

Morning everyone 😀
Bloody hell 70 you poor thing you have been through such an awful time 💐.Hope you are much better very soon and have a quick recovery bless you .

Wreck I hope you get better soon.
I still have a dry cough - been going for over 2 weeks now 🙄

70! When did all this happen? I'm sending you get well thoughts.

MrsMad we are watching the rugby. Count yourself lucky you're avoiding it, it's a very frustrating watch!

It's half time now, DH has just put sausages on so we're going to have a sausage sandwich for breakfast then properly start our day.

Thank you all. I'm not in pain now thankfully after the second op. Once the drain was out and the cyst plus some of my lung (collapsed hopefully recovered). Im knackered and vomitous. Could be 3-4 weeks then medical flight . They use a translation app on the phone so ok there dh is with me but we don,t know what's happening at the moment . I'll see if th ed booths book has been emailed ..I keep reminding him how fast the countdown is going..!

Mrs I thought I was getting a cold before but it didn't amount to anything now dh has given me his sore throat

70 I can't imagine being in hospital in a country I don't know. You sound very positive I hope you're being well looked after

Goodness 70 I agree with Wreck you sound very positive. Sending swift healing vibes your way. Thank goodness for modern technology and modern medicine.

For everyone else feeling under the weather I hope the bugs bugger off soon.

I'm in beautiful North Wales at a big house rented to celebrate SILs birthday. It my turn to cook this evening and I've volunteered to cook a roast dinner shoot me now!

Thank goodness for travel insurance and translation apps 70!

I'm just checking back in while my heart calms down after the rugby. I love it but I don't know why I watch, the tension makes my heart race when it's a close game

Crazy the troops here have been ecstatic 😂
DD and Dh shouting their heads off 😁

Woolly it sounds idyllic to have lovely kind family around you . Well done on taking one for the team re the roast yummy 😋

Wreck that spray is good for the throat pain , hope it goes away soon💐

Jeez 70. I hope you are as ok as you can be.

I was up all last night but the pain in my toe. How can such a small bone cause so much pain. Thankfully dh is off today so I can put my feet up a bit.

Fanny you need a Aeropress m'dear 😁 they areravingabout them on the bargain thread 😂

Nero cold compress m'dear, ibuprofen and paracetamol. Elevate , sometimes it helps to put an elastic foot support on too , hope it is better soon 😊💐
