We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

I didn’t fade away. he turned up at 9.30pm. I have been silent because I pinged my damned back. It will get better but its no fun.

Afternoon all
Dreary grey day here too.Raining on and off.I don't think it's quite as cold as it has been but cold enough.
Oh dear ,take it easy Woofy .I bought a machine from Lloyds recently for my back .One of those with little pads that you stick on that send an electric pulse .I've had it stuck down the back of my trousers on a daily basis and on the highest setting for nearly a fortnight now and it's useless. My back is completely boogered.
Endeavour is on tonight .

We nipped out for montaditos ( open toasted sandwiches) for lunch as neither of us fancy a big plate of food! Now all cuddled up on settees in the warm watching footie!! My hip has been aching all week and now it the front of my thigh! This getting old!!!!! Not good!

[jno]

phew, that was the sort of lunch that means you don't need any dinner and possibly no breakfast either. I am feeing very replete. It mostly didn't rain, either.

Sorry to hear people's vertebrae are disassembling. 600mg of nurofen all round.

I’ve got a magnetic anklet....which sounds a bit “specialist equipment for the discerning lady” I don’t tend to go in for crank medicine but some people I know have tried this on their dogs and they and their vets have seen results. My knees have been giving me gyp at night so I thought I would try it...they have got a tenner off until the end of january the make is streamz and the code is STRJAN10, but be aware that delivery is a fiver. It hasn’t done anything for my knee but my longstanding achey neck is much better, I mean REALLY better and I have had it for more than 40 years. Can’t say if its helped the back because it fixes itself very variably...so far I haven’t seen any unusual improvement. I have used tens and it managed the pain such that I could do stuff I needed to do, but I wouldn’t have called it successful pain relief.

I have a disassembling tooth!!

[netibiza]

Good morning. the sun has just put it's hat on but it's cold. Am wearing my full length (faux) Afghan coat today.
Hope you are all OK.

[Robinia]

Morning...dark, wet and cold. Apparently it's blue Monday. Oh good-o, it must be time to have my blue rinse redone.

I'd have magnetic jewellery from head to ankle if I though it would work but all that would probably happen to me is that I'd get stuck fast to the side of buses.

Hope you're all reassembled soon.

Morning all
Bright atm but still very cold .Colder here than the rest of the country according to the forecast.
We're all falling to bits. Lol, Robinia ,it's like tubes of voltarol or whatever it's called that you can rub in .I'd need ten tubes at a time.
A hwb stuffed down the back of my trousers is better than this waste of money machine .

[woofgang]

Good morning all. Woke up seized solid but I expected it. Very annoying as I was starting the big annual sort out and the house looks wrecked. Neti can you get your tooth fixed? The weather isn’t helping, its very gloomy here.
moan whine complain.........
well that’s that done with
The garden is waking up. I have got winter cherry, winter honeysuckle, scented camellia, and almost mimosa and forsythia. No snowdrops yet which is odd.
Robi, I have got a friend who tried one of those magnets you have in your knickers for PMS. She used to get stuck to the hoover at work which was bad enough but she gave it up altogether when she got stuck to a shopping trolley in tesco.

[Robinia]

Hahaha, hilarious woofy. We would be quite a spectacle on a shopping trip together, stuck to shopping trolleys, hwb's sloshing and wheat packs crunching. We could pay in £ s d and insist on giving them our divi numbers.

been down to the bank as the special introductory offers we got a year ago are expiring, and got the man to put the interest rates back up again. What a faff. He did tell us just to ring him in another year's time and he can do it over the phone; but of course he won't be there in a year, they never are.

[netibiza]

Santander have just informed me that my interest rate has gone down to 0.01°/o !
Just made and eaten cous cous, really tasty it was!

[Robinia]

Morning from a mizz Midlands.
I know neti, I think they're all the same. It actually costs money to have savings.

Ooooh, I don't 'alf ache. I went to bed at a ridiculously early hour and like woofy I had a dream that I kept going back into. I came home to find a man doing my garden, just mowing I thought although he was being particularly thorough. He actually completely revamped it all....to the tune of £3,000. It was rather lovely though with a raised seating area overlooking flowing water and a huge wildlife pond.

Dream on Robi.

Good morning from a freezing Ibiza! Don't care that temps say 14° that's complete rubbish! Everyone is trailing blankets and shawls! Not used to it! I am sitting outside a cafe and loving it! Only 2 others outside!
I had a weird dream that hundreds of all types of snake were living in my settee, huge ones and little ones.

[netibiza]

Actual temp here is 6° and it feels like it!
Got to the health centre ( ok only 5 mins walk from home) and had the wrong papers for blood test appointment! I had nose papers and not kidneys! So had to come home and go back!! Such a waste of energy although its a bit of excercise for me!

[woofgang]

What a lovely dream Robi. Mine are all very surreal at the mo. I hope they aren’t predicting the future. Back improving steadily. I am desperate to get the house a bit tidier but I know I mustn’t. I am able to shower again though which must be a relief to the dogs. Lol Neti. Snakes on a settee....the biddy version of the Samuel L Jackson film. KBO everybody

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
Lovely bright day today but very cold .
I've just come back from the medical I've dreaded attending for my disabilty allowance .I wound myself up unnecessarily having read many horror stories about how they treat people.
She was very nice and assured me that at my age and the state I'm in she was sure it would continue.Fingers crossed ,if I could cross them .
Nothing much else to report.Same old.
