General Chat

Morning all, yes it's been another hot night, sorry to see some of you and yours are under the weather in this heat!

Not a bad shift last night, but the heat isn't nice for the elderly is it, many were waking and feeling very hot so we were giving plenty of drinks.

I'm off to bed in a little while and hope you all have a lovely day...

Pam.

I want to be cool to Jane, it's roasting tonight.
Night night

I keep the birdbath full of water,and it is always the big pidgeons that use it .Haven't seen too much of the Robins although they are around.
If I could fit in the Birdbath I would be there in a second lol
I JUST WANT TO FEEL COOL

Thanks FamilySearcher.
Even though i was only off for a few days I missed having a chat to all my pals on here.
we have a lot of empty snail shells in the garden at the moment the birds must be having a real feast.
I saw two litle birds on the bird bath yesterday a mother and her baby , the baby was flapping it's wings and squaking like mad " probably saying "feed me feed me" they were so cute.

Won't ask what kind of strange noises Jane lol!!! I'm to polite
Just had a bath , feel less sticky now but have got the fans on already cooling down the bedrooms.
We have just had a good rain fall so I won't need to water the garden. mind you I broke the hose pipe last night ,( the jet bit where the water comes out) you can still use the hose but the water shoots out in every direction and soaks all your clothes.

I'm glad you are feeling better Fiona.My daughter used to be very bad at night with Hayfever with coughing.Her eyes were terrible during the day.But she seems to have grown out of it.I tend to get a really claggy throat and itchy roof of my mouth.I spend a lot of time making some very strange noises lol

Hi ladies, working a night shift tonight so will be back on here tomorrow afternoon I exppect...keep coool and sleep well.

Pam.x

It's clammy here too Jane
Daughter no 2 has decided to stay another night and go back to Gala tomorrow. that means we'll have to share the fans tonight and as I can't leave any windows open. and I think it's going to be a warm night again.

I have just been up to put a clean top sheet on the bed ,and the bed actually feels as though we have just got out of it.It is blooming hot.Not a good sign for tonight.

Hi Everyone,

1976....yes that was hot!! I was working in the DHSS then in an old shoe factory building. Only tiny windows to open with a long pole and hook and no curtains or blinds and I sat near the window. As the sun came round we stuck A4 sheets of paper on the glass to stop the sun glare in our eyes. The walls were painted brick and the chairs had plastic covers you stuck to with the heat.....horrid. Luckily we could work flexitime and I would arrive at 7.00am and finish at 3.30pm......we were so glad when it got cooler again.

We went on holiday in 1976 in a caravan the week before the heatwave started and it snowed!! Nobody believes me but its true.

Back to being hot. Lay on top of the bed with nothing on last night and was still far too hot to sleep, so went downstairs, got both hot water bottles, filled them with freezing cold water then went back to bed and put one under my feet and cuddled the other one. Definitely helped

Hi Folks
I'm here, I stopped taking those pills on Monday and am feeling back to my self again. going back to see the doctor again on the 24th July to talk once again and see what can be done about this pill lark.
Have started to eat more food like Pro Active yogarts and drinks and using pro Active Flora. Also went for a long walk round our local park with OH on Sunday was shattered when we got back mainly because it was very warm & sunny, I will try and keep the walking up more at the weekends.

Daughter no 2 has been home the last few days but is suffering really bad with her hay fever. I feel helpless , can't do much to help her apart from holding her over the toilet when she coughing so much and being sick
she was so hot last night poor wee soul didn't get much sleep. mind you nither did I as it was very warm.

Daughter no 2 has packed in work as 2 weeks eairler as there is a scare with swine flu in her office, so she is now on holiday for 2 weeks then starts maternity leave
she only has about 8 weeks to go before the baby is due.
Getting very stuffy now , I amm off for adrink and going to do some shopping.

Fiona has just posted on memories thread and says she is feeling much better now since stopping her tablets.At least we know she is OK

Hi All,
1976 ,I was working in a garage for the summer.My job was mainly to pick up and deliver parts to different garages.The car I drove was an ex hearse lol
No air con in those days and I remember hating the thought of having to spend most of that HOT HOT weather in a flipping car everyday.

I hope Fiona is ok too Lorraine,I know she said she wasn't feeling great the other day.

Hello ladies, another hot one! I was thinking about hot summers and the one that always comes to mind is the summer of 1976, phew it was a real scorcher wasn't it? I was married in the October of 1975 and so we we're still in that 'honeymoon phase' and so in love...all we did was have sex all through the heatwave of 1976............ah they were the days!! I do still love him but we don't show it in quite the same way...ha ha!

Back later ladies,

Pam.x

I hope you all have a good nights sleep.I don't think you will if you if you live where I am lol...I still have 2 big fans on in the lounge.I will leave one on for the dog.The one in my bedroom will be on full blast tonight,and i will not be wearing my nightie .That will be on the floor!!! I hope OH doesn't think that is a signal.........He will be out of luck lol.I just want a good nights sleep.
Night Night All xx

Luckily I don't have to have my passport photo taken.(not for a few years ) lol I looked pretty grim in the last one so Gawd knows how I will look in the next!!!!!!!!!.I don't think I will wear my birthday suit lol.

Jane, I was just mentioning birthday suits too on the other thread and here you are already in yours!! lol

I have never liked any passport photo I have had done Pam....just not photogenic.....OH's usually look good, not fair is it.

Jane you flasher you!!!

Our passports run out the end of August so myself and hubby (it's his day off on Tuesdays) been up to get fresh passport photos done in Tesco's photos booths...oh what a sight we both look...the hottest day so far and we go and get photos done that have got to last ten years!!! They are awful, sweaty faced!! Well atleast we can't look much worse in ten years time!! Thank god not many people will see them!!

Back later girls...

From sweaty Pam..............

Well I hope they weren't looking for me lol ......I got out of the shower a few minutes ago and heard what sounded like a very low helicopter.So I went to the window in my birthday suit to have a look(not that I'm nosy or anything) and there was a police helicopter right above my garden !!! Good job I have curtains and not a blind to grab in front of me.They have moved over the fields now.
I'm glad I wasn't over there with the dog as I may have been caught up in a police chase LOL
