Hi Pam,hope your experience of H.R.T. is better than mine, I went from a size 10/12 in October to a 14/16 in January ,stuck it out 'til April as the doc said it wasn't the medication at fault but decided I had to come off it as I couldn't afford to put on any more weight. I'm only 5ft 2. Since I stopped the weight is slowly coming back off to O.H.'s relief ,the thought of buying a whole new wardrobe had him a bit concerned .Thats when I looked for alternatives ,the magnet that sits inside your pants, I dropped it down the loo more than once,herbal treatments and the only thing that had any effect ,serenity cream.I also had a go with hypnotism c.d's .So maybe I should have persevered with the H.R.T. although friends have told me it can take up to 2 years to find the right one I am too impatient to wait that long for a result.

Morning all
No Pam still no news yet. I have not been in touch with daughter today she tends to laze about in the mornings so I will phone her after lunch, her OH has the odd days holidays to take from work so plans to take tomorrow and Friday off so he can be near and go with her to the midwifes on Friday.

You and Jane will probably be both on holiday when this baby arrives so you will need to catch up on the news when you get back.

Sorry to hear you had a bad one too Jane, yeah you're right we're old crocks!!

We're away next Tuesday to Menorca for ten days...all inclusive so bound to come back double the size!!

I'm working a night shift tonight as i've swapped with one of the other girls 'cos of my holiday.

Back later i expect,

Pam.

Morning everyone .
Never mind us being the Hot Totties,maybe we should be the Old Crocks lol
Bad night too last night Pam,but mine was this blasted sciatica waking me ,and then having a sweat.The fan was on at 1 30am.

Jean,I wish I felt a bit cold sometimes.Good to hear your BP is down now.
Must get off to the cobblers,as my leather boots are leaking and I want to take them on holiday next week.I hope they can be fixed as they are so comfortable.

Morning ladies

Hope that you're all keeping okay...been a bit cooler thank goodness. Had a bad night last night and the one before that, sweats!! Seriously thinking about going on HRT or atleast having a chat to my doctor about it...yes I feel that bad!! These aches and pains don't help either, feel like I've been runover by a steamroller most mornings.

Sorry to moan...Fiona are you a gran yet?

Tina if you're looking in, hope you're okay.

Back later I expect

Pam.xxx

I, on the other hand, am cold and have fished out a knitted waistcoat! Have been cold since I changed my medication 10 days ago. My blood pressure is down from the danger levels though.

I used to have an Airedale Terrier push along that I think you could sit on lol.
I loved it as did my sister after me.
I have the fan blowing,have whipped my bra off and put on strappy top.I think I overheated changing my bed linen lol.The sun is still shining but the wind seems to be picking up and I'm not sure about those clouds!!

Hi All
It's hard work this baby lark isn't Patricia , all this waiting for these children to be born , harder than when I was having my daughter 28 years ago, now she's haveing her own baby, Oooooo !!!!!!
If you get any help on the restless legs problem please pass it on and the nervous feeling in the pit of the stomach too. lol

We used to have an airedale terrier called Guinness and as I have always been a poor sleeper I could be found walking her in the middle of the night quite regularly,I won't walk some places in the daytime on my own now,maybe we need another dog.

that's us on a baby countdown too ,6 days to due date and no decision on a name.I remember we had names picked right at the start of the pregnancy with our daughter and 3 full years before our son was born.I keep txting them names in the hope they might make a choice, we know it's a girl,and I've got a friend on standby to embroider her name on a pram blanket. I had thought it would be ready to bring her home in.Anyone out there have ideas on how to stop restless legs ?

Think I will say Night Night too.I m just waiting up to let the dog out for a wee .
OH and daughter have taken themselves off to bed.So just me and the Mutt at the mo.Even he is snoring his head off in his bed lol

Just popping in to say goodnight I'm off to watch the new wuthering Heights drama , it was on last night but didn't get a chance to see it, so i will watch it on catch up TV.
Hope you all had a good bank holiday Monday.
night night.

Hi all
still no sign of a baby yet , daughter say's she feels like a waddling Penguin, she's really fed up carrying all this weight

Bought a new top today for the 2 parties that I have go coming up this weekend. well If I get to them ,not really worried as it will always come in handy for another occasion
it's still raining and it's only 7.20pm and it's going quite dark outside.
we had lunch out this afternoon so no one is hungry for a big tea , going to make a sandwhich or some toast instead.

I do miss her,she was a hoot lol

Hi Jane - she told me she looks in occasionally, so I am sure she will pick this up, shes around today on and off I think.

Is Tina still reading our posts?
HI TINA,hope you are well and mastering your harp.You should be an expert when you come back
PS I changed my name from Helen to my proper name,just in case you wonder who Jane is lol

Firstly, I am lucky enough not to have reached this stage yet ...... but Tina (Harpy / Harpstrings) - who used to be on GR a lot asked me to pop on and say Hi on this thread - hopefully when the winter draws in she will be less busy and join again, I am sure we all miss her wit.

I hope baby arrives before saturday Fiona as I will off the boards for a week on holiday.Tell her to get a move on LOL

Hi everybody
Hope you all enjoy your holiday Monday, it's not a bank holiday up here in Scotland, Daughter no 1 & SIL have just left and daughter is really tired & fed up waiting for this baby now, due date was Friday gone and even though it's only been a few days she says it's seem like it's been forever.
Hopefully it will decide to come before next week end as I have a wedding evening reception next Friday and an 18th birthday party on the Saturday. I have told the hosts I am coming but might have to back out at the last minute

Patricia,psyhcolgical !!!!!!!!!!!!!! .If men had our symptoms they would change their tune lol.I just wish they could experience the hot flushes a few times.I have had the boiling sweaty face thing today which goes on for hours,and then I feel quite drained.
We have has visitors since yesterday and at lunch today I was there with a bunch of kitchen roll moping my face every couple of minutes lol
It is a pretty miserable afternoon but am hoping for a good day tomorrow.
I hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday w/e.
