ahh well an 11yo is pretty good for fetching and carrying ribena drinks and jaffa cakes

KatyMac · 14/11/2008 23:44

No worries. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

KatyMac · 15/11/2008 14:33

Felt better

Went shopping (against my better judgement) ended up really poorly again

You said it.....rest woman....and get that hair off your face before slubbers see's you...she is a hard task manager ...but showed exceptional perserverance in nusing me back to health when I had a bad chest infection.

Honestly...even if the infection disappears tomorrow you will still feel like you have been hit by a bus for a couple of weeks

Am I allowed to keep my eyebrows & lashes?

OP posts:
DoNotAsfinishedXmasshopping · 15/11/2008 14:50

well I did (but don't tell slubbers in case she did mean elye lashes and eyebrows and top lip hair too in my case .

No go and rest and send your 11yo to fetch a nice ribena.

SlubberOverTheYardArm · 16/11/2008 18:46

tut tut shopping indeed.

How's the chest today Katy?

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 18:50

It hurts when I breath
The dry cough has stopped
The gurgling through custard has increased
The tiredness has increased
I have actally coughed up (a bit)

My urine infection ha gone berserk & I am running to the loo every 15 mins

But I spent most of today in bed/settee

You can leave your facial hair, so long as you have tidy eyebrows.

Oh dear, back to the GP tomorrow I think. Glad to hear that you are expectorating now though.

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 18:54

I thought I was getting better

OP posts:
SlubberOverTheYardArm · 16/11/2008 19:07

well, quite apart from your chest your on-going UTI sound shite.

poor you

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 19:09

My Chest thanks you for the ribena

My UTI says thanks very much but ribena is a well-documented bladder irritant

Seriously tho' anything with colour in is a bad idea

OP posts:
SlubberOverTheYardArm · 16/11/2008 19:17

oh yes

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 19:24

I'm on dilute peach juice

Thanks for the gesture

SlubberOverTheYardArm · 16/11/2008 19:26

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 19:31
