    Hopefully when I next login to the forum these ghastly colours will have gone and it will just have been a dream  :s

    The kids have passed on a stomach bug to us. Luckily a fairly mild one but there's only so long you can go without eating something substantial. :| 
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Don't do it @wild edges. Think of the consequences 😳.

    Sip boiled, cooled water only for at least 12 hrs, then if you must try some dry toast.  You need to starve it out.

    Probably not sensible advice but I'm a one for a red hot chilli to flush it out so to speak.

    I'm not sure whether you are masochist for doing it or a sadist for suggesting it :D  'Ring of Fire' by Johnny Cash comes to mind.

    Up to 2 months apparently.
    A doctor once told me to give my little girl flat lemonade for sever stomach upsets.

    I'm sorry to curmudge at this point, but has anyone seen the msn article about London cyclists carrying car-shaped frames to make sure that car owners (who actually pay for the roads) don't hog their space?
    Having been very nearly knocked over by a cyclist (with the silly hat and everything),  whilst walking my dog - I know that they really don't believe that the STOP signs apply to them - It's about time that cyclists paid for the privilege that they believe they already have.
    (Apologies - I just had to vent).

    P S - I apologise for the "silly hat" remark - it's just that he was in less danger than my dog and myself, and all his fault.

    I think I might have a killer instinct😕
    Lying on my bed in the twilight, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something scuttling beside me. I whacked it until it was dead and then I whacked it again to make sure. Totally instinctive.
    On inspecting the flattened remains, it was quite a small spider.
