Fran always has new slippers and a smart cardigan that will fit in for work but still has some colour and a touch of pizazz. James gets a pair of pj bottoms with super heroes on and honeycomb covered with chocolate, and that is about all that I buy. If it were not for Fran coming home for Christmas I would not put the decs up, she loves it all.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-51022512915677790492014-12-05T22:12:12.638+00:002014-12-05T22:12:12.638+00:00Sorry to hear about your UTI, Pam, I know from exp...Sorry to hear about your UTI, Pam, I know from experience how miserable they can make you feel.

Every so often they put me on a six week course of strong antibiotics and that seems to work for a few mths thank goodness. I also use barley water when it's really bad my grandmother started me on homemade and I still make it. I can't have cysterpurin or that type of meds because it affects my BP meds! My daughters dr suggested she drink cranberry juice daily but I find it soooo sour. I hope it clears up for you soon, keep those hottie bottles at the ready.<br />What can I say about your cushions.........they are simply gorgeous! I love the fabrics you've used they will certainly brighten up any room. I also love the trees you've made they are so pretty. Thank you for brightening up a grey, cold Friday.<br />Feel better soon.<br /><br />Peg xPeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316654845669641549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-72080322584881691842014-12-05T19:44:26.186+00:002014-12-05T19:44:26.186+00:00Oh dear, sorry to hear you have been poorly, glad ...Oh dear, sorry to hear you have been poorly, glad you are feeling better xChickpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010543012720394937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-60534902834764088192014-12-05T17:46:26.733+00:002014-12-05T17:46:26.733+00:00Hope you're soon fighting fit gain Pam.

Mine was chronic ear infection. Dreadful pains from Thurs. last week. I then ended up having to see the doctor the second time around on the following Monday and had to go to hospital for further treatment on the Tuesday. The ear had to be hovered out and some antibiotic drops were given. I`m still not over the hill yet and have another hospital appointment next Friday to check that the infection is actually going away. Pains have lessened but not gone all together yet. I`m hoping to be fit again for work on Monday as I already have lost out on one week`s pay and can`t afford to loose any more. <br />Glad you are on the mend, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-90625070873065427032014-12-05T12:28:09.767+00:002014-12-05T12:28:09.767+00:00Sorry to hear you have been ill, glad you are bett...Sorry to hear you have been ill, glad you are better now.
