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.

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?

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

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

SlubberOverTheYardArm · 16/11/2008 19:17

KatyMac · 16/11/2008 19:24

Thanks for the gesture
