Hi mimii, hi all,

Well last night I had to get up, as I couldn't breathe very well, its was only for 2 hrs, then I managed to get back to some sleep 2am till 4am.

So if there's any coffee mimii, I hope its decaf :-) as that might be part of the problem. If you feel anything like I do at the moment, I would suggest taking it slow today as I've already walked into a wall, lol.

I was wondering how you were grog last night, as I hung my head out the window having a ciggy.

Hi Bertty, what a wonderful name, its what we called our son "Bertie" he's off school today, as he says he keeps feeling sick. Not sure if there's a bug going round.

Morning whywhy :-)

Now off to Canterbury to try and sell our old mobile phones, so we have some money for my daughters birthday.

I feel like a zombie

haha,

I just fell up the stairs too, my bath went without a hitch, so I might be waking up now. Now did I do that.

I was going to say, when I couldn't sleep last night, and the health anxiety came up for me, I just let all the thoughts come, and did some meditation, it wasn't easy by any means, but I know where the panic goes if I dont, and that scares me more. So I did it, with some walking about slowly, cups of decaf coffee, and one cup of tea, but I just kept doing it, and I did manage to get back to sleep.

I know the intensity of your sleepless anxious nights, is more than what mine are at the moment, but even a liittle of the practise helps.

Hope you all having a restfull sleep or day.

Sleepy accident prone Baylien :-)

Hello Mr B

If you are really short of cash for your daughters' birthday I can give you a fiver and a packet of fags in exchange for your car.

Fair deal?

in reply to

I got £75 for the phones and a migrane lol. Straight into my daughters hands, and she was off into the clothes shops. I didn't even have enough for a blooming coffee.

Its my dads car, but he cant drive so he gave it to me, its a gunmetal silver honda civic 05 plate and its lovely :-)

Keep your fags, I'm giving up, lol, well trying too.

All the best

Now your showing your age grog, and I remember the rockers and teddy boys.

I also remember trying to start a 500cc single pot, i think it was an AJS or norton, and it nearly took my leg off.

I got banned from driving motorbikes early lol, I think i was 18. I sold my bikes and went to Sweden for the summer, oh what a summer :-)

Thanks ;-)

in reply to

I kid you not but when my daughter moved out she left behind 21 mobile phones.Just the old type,nothing fancy,but I cannot find a charger for one of them.Otherwise I would have attached some to my trusty carrier pigeon and sent him over to drop a little packet off to you

in reply to mimii

Well done mimii,

Cosy up, on that sofa

You deserve it.

I'm sitting here in agony with a migraine, and a hot water bottle strapped to my head.

I tried to sleep, but got woken up by the headache.

I haven't had a migrane since I started meditating 9 months ago, I must be slacking......

Glad you made it

Hi poor you, Im lucky never to have experienced a migraine, perha ps you need some coffee I drink gallons of the stuff lol !!!

Hope the hot water bottle works, do you take any painkillers think theres some you can get specifically for migraines.

Mimii x

in reply to mimii

Hi mimii,

I do take painkillers and guess what my wife used them all, and as I've not needed them for so long, I forgot to replace them.

So all I had was 2 paracetamol which lasted 30 minutes.

I do like a coffee too, I have the decaf these days, with soya, its ok, once you get used to it, and a roll up, hanging out the window.

I used to smoke Camel cigarettes in the old days, god I hate to think how much they would cost these days.

Glad your home safe and sound

Bxxx
