Night Night x

Hello ladies,
I haven't posted before and haven't read all your 120+ pages but I know what you're going through. I'm 47 and have taken to keeping spare nightware under my pillow.
I thought you might like to hear about a friend of mine who would get through her hot nights by sitting in the garden in her nighty, it was fairly secluded so all was fine, until one night... when the local police helicopter came over... with it's heat seeking equipment!!! Knowing she would stand out like a beacon she scurried indoors and spent the next hour worring about what to tell the policemen when they came hammering on her door searching for criminals. Thankfully they never did come but needless to say her nights in the garden have ceased!
Personally I just think about all the calories I must be burning to produce all that heat.

Morning ladies, oh dear, Woodpecker your poor friend...good idea though as our garden is very secluded!!

Went for a carvery yesterday evening with hubby and daughter and her boyfriend, felt quite tired and nearly didn't go but glad I did as it was lovely. Only £3.95 each...oh I'm getting mean. Is that an age thing as well do you think? They're all going on about going to charitty shops...I've been going to them for years! I don't need to now, but still watch the pennies, think it comes from years of being skint in the past!

Nice and sunny here and with a lovely light breeze....heaven.


Have a good day girls.

Pam.

Hi Woodpecker,It's good to see a new name here.
I too have sat out in my nightie or have laid on the floor next to the door where the air is cooler lol.If people could see us all they would really think we had lost the plot.I find my nightie on the floor most mornings (and It wasn't OH that took it off)

Hi All, I would like to say that I have read all 121 pages and it has helped me so much, I am going through the change too, thought I was cracking up till I read this , made me feel a lot better . Thankyou

Ebony eyes I still laugh as much as I did at the beginning when I read through some of the things we have said here.I wonder how we are still here LOL
Good job we can laugh and make light of the things we ladies have to put up with.Glad this has helped you.
Stay with us and you will stay laughing(at Pam)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pam I just saw the price of your carvery!!!!!! Was that a childs size LOL

Evening all
welcome Ebony Eyes and woodpecker.
Ladies , I haven't worn a nightie for ages normaly wear a strappy top or during these very warm nights nought!!!!
I can't stand to be all covered up it's just to warm, OH was away last night so it was much more comfortable, slept most of the night on top of the sheets.
another warm day today, I had a funny spell this morning had to go and lie down got over heated , drank lots of water and a couple of asprins as I had a rotten headache, by 12.00pm I was feeling much better and have been out baby shopping with daughter no 1, she's feeling the heat too ,so tired has 3 more weeks to go at work and then she's finnished will be 7 months pregnant on Sunday.

Evening girls, hope you've all ahd a good day...mine was okay until I pulled my bloody back earlier!! Taken a couple of painkillers...hope it feels better tomorrow!!

No Jane (Helen) it was an adult size alright...they call it the "Credit crunch carvery". Good name for it isn't it.

Yes new ladies we do have a laugh on here at times...in between sweats and aches and pains. We call Helen Jane...it's a long story!! Hope you stay with us on the thread or atleast look in now and then.

Tina...if you're looking in, hope all's well with you...we do miss your witty banter.

Going for a nice bath now, hope it eases my old back.

Night girls and speak soon.

Pam.xx

just popped back to say goodnight, supposed to be another warm day tomorrow, not got a lot on, Just got to take dad to the memory clinic for his 6 months check up,
Hope you all managed to survive todays heat and also have a comfortable night
BB tomorrow sometime.

Oooh Pam ! hope your back feels better in the morning.I use those heat patches that you slap straight on the skin on my lower back sometimes and think they are brilliant.

gosh Pam, that was a good price for a carvery. you couldn''t do it at home for that price could you.

Going to be another hot night tonight ladies apparently.

I heard from Tina and she is fine, I think she peeps in occasionally.

My floor standing fan is in place just a few feet from my side of the bed .it will go on as soon as I know OH is well away in the land of nod so he doesn't notice lol.I will just tuck the duvet closer around him.

Hi everyone
looks like were in for another warm day here a bit cloudy and very humid sun keeps popping in and out.
I have packed in drinking coffee while this weather is warm , it's just not helping the hot flushes at all, I now have a bottle of water with me every where I go, mind you I am haveing a few withdrawel symptoms, daughter no 2 says I should try a iced Mocha instead, I thing mochas are stronger than Latte, and I don't like strong coffee.

Morning ladies, hope you're all ok today. The back is still bad, taken another pain killer...i can remember doing it actually, it was Tuesday evenin g and it was when I got up off the sofa...and I felt a twinge and thought oh dear hope this doesn't play me up!! I'm supposed to be working tomorrow night...if this doesn't get any better i wont be! I've taken one of hubbys diclofenac tabs 50mg...will it make the pain go away Jane, you're the medical one? I know i shouldn't take his tablets but one wont hurt will it!!

Fiona I gave up the old coffee about 6 years ago, hope you dont get too bad 'Cold Turkey'.

Pam.

PS My back is so achey I can feel pain at the top of my buttocks when I walk!

Hi Pam ,That is Voltarol isn't it.They are pretty strong ,but when I had them and took them for a number of days they made me feel ill.I hope they work for your poor old back.

Deep Heat patches are brilliant Pam.I always keep some in the cupboard.

I'll go along with Jane ,Deep heat patches are good and I sometimes use Iburofen Gel, that helps my back alot. better than Ralgex and doesn't give off a funny smell.
just had an hour under the brolly in the back garden but it's getting to warm for me to sit out
so I'm going for a shower and a change of clothes and an Ice cream cornet out of the freezer.
off to the day centre at 3.15 to pick dad up for the memory clinic at the hospital, there's been a big change since December when they last saw him.
Try & BB later.

One thing about this hot weather , there are a lot of fit looking topless men lol
