Hello fluffies
Dizzy what a terrible time you’ve had I’m glad your home and recovering well xxx
Love and hugs to you all I’ll catch up later xxx
Was Evening Fluffs, but popped in for a quick edit due to major hot flush waking me up so a very early Morning Fluffs instead.
Dizzy - Hope you’ve had a good restful day and are holding together wound wise.
JaneyFlower - I think it must have been someone on “Benchland, have a good rant” then sorry, with ref to a nest cam. Think it’s a case of LOFMM - loss of a few more marbles!! Taa for tablet info. Hope your counselling sesh proved positive yesterday and you’re on the Up.
Rubes - lovely girl, I only too well understand your fumb difficulty. We don’t realise just how important “fumbs” are (and big toes as my friend’s discovered, long struggle to get back to walking after her op). I have probs opening packets, ok so now use scissors. Just holding veges to chop, opening tins, gripping/grasping things, tyeing shoe laces, fastening buttons, using screw drivers. I’m left handed but was persuaded as a kid to write right handed by my Mum. My left hand was the first to be affected, but my right hand has now got to the point that I’m struggling to write. It’s now scrawly and increasingly difficult. Think I now may have a great get out for Xmas cards. Think I’ll do them a few at a time from now onwards, if at all. So, I am so hoping your fumb recovers soon. Quite honestly, Ruby, I’d give up part of a leg to have my hand abilities back. Totally sucks, and been a massive contribution to my depression and despondency. I keep saying - you can carry on living quite easily without boobs!! But living without “hands” - that starts becoming a major “disability” to normal life.
Bit of a negative post on the whole, sorry. But. . . as much as I dislike all this modern techo stuff, I’d be lost without being at least able to still tap out stuff on a keyboard, so it’s a godsend really. Tho’ you lot may think differently from my ramblings.
Going back to bobies with a glass if iced water. Had we had snow, think I’d have gone for a morning roll around in the garden in the nuddy to cool off! That’d give the neighbours something to talk about, cos it would be a floodlit sight from setting off the security light.
Wishing you all a good day and lotsa love.

Delly, I think you and Ruby have fumbles, not fumbs. As you say, when your thumbs aren’t working everything becomes so much more difficult.
My mum has come here for a couple of days, while the OH is away in London. I feel like a child again, he wouldn’t go unless there was someone here with me. I’ve just taken the car to the shop, driving is okay and I didnt want to carry shopping. So the fitbit is on hold for a few more days.
Have a good day fluffies, catch you all later.
Evening wonderful flufies
Well it is a horrible horrible night here very windy and extremely wet.
Ruby - hope your thumbs better tonight
Dizzy - theres nothing like having your mum look after you even when you are older.
Janey - hopefully you have had a better night last night
xxxx
Evening glories - Ruby exercise that thumb we need it in full working pic posting order! A good day today, as another night’s sleep had thanks to drugs - going to try without tonight, as it does leave me groggy.
Clair how are you doing?
It’s rotten weather here, blowing a hooley here and watching the rain beat on the windows. Wishing you a peaceful evening xx
Evening Helena and everyone.
She wasn’t in pain Actually, just couldnt straighten them. I don’t know what caused yours, but in her case the sheath of the ligament ( or whatever it is that lets your thumb stretch) wouldn’t let a part of it pass through. Saying that it did hurt if she tried to make it open and made a big click noise.
Hope the exercises help .
Soooooo windy here too…but mild.
Morning all you lovely lot
hope everyone is doing ok. Weather is a bit mental where is sunny one minute and then monsoon conditions the next. There’s been some flooding around the area so roll on the next few days which should be dry. ?
all happening still. Mum was admitted to hospital middle of the night Tuesday, then discharged yesterday evening with a bag of antibiotics, telling her that her chest is stuffed due to the pneumonia and the cancer. Thanks for that. Like she didn’t know and needed reminding. She has respiratory clinic today so see how that goes.
I have managed to slice right through the nail on my forefinger on my left hand chopping an onion with clearly a very sharp knife. It bled like hell for ages. Thank god the nail was there or I think I’d have taken the tip of my finger off. But f*** it hurts like hell. How long this will take to grow out I have no idea ???
weigh in yesterday at fat club, and now lost 2 st 11. Very happy lady and I hope I’ll hit 3 st before Christmas. Perfect excuse to shop in the Christmas sales for new Clothes! Smaller ones??
sending you all much love and hugs xxx
Wow Beth it’s definitely still going on for you. I hope mum is as comfortable as she can be. Huge congratulations on weigh in. Your vibes still haven’t reached Devon but this time next year …
Ruby please can we have a thumbless review of your boy in tights? I bet you were bursting with pride.
I’m just in to Acupuncture. Something has to give on sleep soon. Tried no tablets last night and was still awake at 4! Xx
Beth, huge hugs to you, and congrats on the weight loss, that is amazing. Hope your Mum picks up, and your finger improves soon.
Janey, hugs to you too, and hope the acupuncture helps.
We have a lovely day here, though a bit wild and windy. I went for my first proper walk today with Daisy, not quite half an hour but it was lovely to see her chasing leaves like a puppy.
I’m still very swollen and moving carefully, and trussed up in the hospital compression bra thing, but generally feeling pretty good. The nights are still a bit difficult, sometimes I sleep straight through and other nights I can’t find any position that is comfortable. But it will all be better soon and I’m glad to get the healing done before it’s time to put the decorations up.
And talking of people who overdo it, how’s Helena this week? No more leaf blowers??
Dizzy
This is my favourite one

Hello fluffies I need some support please. I’m feeling so down and tired. I’m really struggling with work and home but I just don’t know why ?
I felt like giving up xx
I’m in 32 hours a week and we have ofsted in so in early and out late but I’m just generally struggling with myself and being tired. At home Paul is doing everything and it makes me feel inadequate and guilty … my daughter is having to work late nights now for Christmas and she’s upset that we won’t see much of each other as I’m asleep by 9 so that makes me upset and there’s nothing we can do she spoke to her boss already and she’s on strong tablets for her ache that can bring on depression. She cried the other morning because of her hours and it broke my heart . I used to be the strong one now I’m the one in tears or asleep all the time. Is it me or the tablets or just a bad day ? I try so hard to be happy and positive around everyone giving the impression I’m fine but I’m not . X
Xx
Sorry to hear how you’re feeling Clair, Janey & Helena have said it all really, do take care & sending hugs

Evening lovely fluffies
Well I have had a busy day with the slow cooker, done a huge batch of shin of beef casserole and currently got a dry lamb curry in there, I am just trying to work out now where all of this is going to go in my freezer 
Hope everyone is doing well this evening, looks as if it is going to be a cold night
