Location? It's your call. NOT SOCHI or doctor's waiting room. :P :P

up hill walk, with ball and chain on both ankles?

How about crawling upstairs to get something and then forgetting completely what it was you went up for.......

Instead of a medal leader board how about a pill leader board :P :P

Cant be serious tonight. Too tired :(

What about puddle splashing, or even how far your undies blow off the line before you get them from the neighbours garden :)

then there is the fun game of who is first to turn the thermostat up and then stand by an open door with a hot flush, (no contest, I would win every time) :)

An interesting competition would be for those going upstairs and forgetting why...

There would be lots of entrants for going to bed and staying awake the longest, and another for the number of times you get up in the night.

oohh... I could go on and on....

Fibrofoggiest profile image
Fibrofoggiest in reply tobluebell99

Methinks I'm going for gold on the staying awake longest after going to bed, and a close second on number of times up in the night.......ooooowwww bring on the contest :D :D

fenbadger in reply toFibrofoggiest

If I don't do my PMR etc I'll take you on. :P :P

fenbadger in reply tobluebell99

please do I like some of those. But no cheating. Stannah turbo stairlifts are banned. The ones that get you upstairs BEFORE you forget why you went. :P :P

How about a contest for those who live with us, it could be the number of times they say, "yes, you have told me that already".... or another with a slightly different slant when we say to them ",,,, when did you tell me that?,,, I don't remember...!"

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply tobluebell99

Or when they say "I've just told you that" or "just answered that" :P :P

Nite -nite all

The number of time you get up in the night with belly pains, only to pass wind. but gotta get up in case....Got to practice that one last night and my bathrooms down stairs :( sue

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply to

I challenge you to that one :P :P Only trouble is I live in a flat so its not a level playing field.

Oh, actually it is. . . . :P :P

bluebell99 profile image

There would have to be automatic disqualification for forgetting when you last took your tablets and "surely you must be overdue," (dangerous!) Also for doing jobs around the house when you know you have been warned not to, like going up a step ladder or carrying a saucepan of boiling potatoes. Penalty points for forgetting doctors appointments or blood tests. Naughty!

Extra points to be awarded for patience to those who are still waiting for an outcome from an appeal or tribunal. And for sticking to that diet!

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply tobluebell99

That's me out of the pill race. I lost count of the number of times I look at the pot and say,

it's not Monday . . .OH SH . . . . :P :P :P

I am good at remembering doc and hospi appoints but terrible with blood tests. :)

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply to

Ah! in that case I'm entering the least blood given! When I was able to donate I sometimes came home with 3 bruises and once failed the time limit. Even with tests they occasionally have to find another vein - and I have hypertension so they should be bulging :(

:P :P

I`m doing my best to win all events on my own this morning, spent ages searching for a jumper that I was wearing. put joint pork in tin ,forgot it. put a bit of washing up away.and oh whats that meat doing there? oh yes it`s got to go in the oven. turned oven on then went to tidy bathroom .thats enough for now. time for a cuppa. Whats that meat doing there? Oh yes Iv`e got to put it in the oven. Meat finally in oven. looks up a low sugar low fat choccy cake on the net. write it down. Why isn`t this pen working?..Because you idiot it`s a crochet hook Who think that i should go back to bed before I do some thing silly?....sue

Fibrofoggiest in reply to

Love it, I've been doing similar with trying to round up washing, and forgetting what I was doing, distracted by SOMETHING IMPORTANT........... Can I remember what it was.....nope........lalalalala........I'm not called Foggy for nothing :D :D

wildwoman in reply tofenbadger

I so agree, I can just see an out of control wheelchair careering along and bouncing off the sides! Slapped wrist for inappropriate laughter!

wildwoman profile image

Glad everyone is having fun with this! What about a medal for smiling and saying 'I,m fine', when that,s not true, or, when they say 'you don,t look ill, ' NOT saying ' and you don,t look stupid, strange isn,t it? '. Xxxxx

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply towildwoman

Well you started it :D

I'll go with that. And how about one for the most "you look shattered!" :) :)

As to location it's either Craggy Island or Fraggle Rock for me. :P :P

I've looked up the ferry times for both.

wildwoman profile image
wildwoman in reply tofenbadger

Oh craggy island wins, then someone could go in for wheelchair racing with carrot ahead, and I,m in for falling off the windowsill! xxx

Fibrofoggiest profile image
Fibrofoggiest in reply towildwoman

Cooooeeee methinks I'd get a medal nearly every day of the week on that one,, love your retort at the end though wildwoman I must try and remember that for next time.....knowing me though it will be cast into the eternal sea of Fogginess which encapsulates my world lalalalala :o :D

Iam always OK even when I don`t have enough energy to walk from chair to bathroom.Would anyone like to challenge me to walk up the ramp into an ambulance.? xxx

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger

Just for fun, an ambulance ramp a horsebox ramp and a speed ramp side by side with extra points for getting the right one. :D :D

Failed need a shuv up. OOps thats the horse box AND you forgot to take the horse out. I is scared of big animals.... :(

Fibrofoggiest profile image
Fibrofoggiest

How about going into the doctors with an URGENT appointment and then sitting there when you at long last get called, and all the things you REALLY needed to ask are immediately encompassed by thick fog and the doctor, (quite rightly - not ) thinks you're just one of those hypochondriacal bods who just go to waste the poor GP's time. You bailout giving upon everything, and just as he calls th next patient in........##ping## you remember the URGENT matter. You then enter another Olympic event, called 'Getting past the Receptionist, who has magically been transferred into a fully qualified doctor (not) to make another appointment . Gold medal goes to the person who lasts the longest time before leaning over the counter to grab the receptionist and shaking her into realising it's the flippin doctor you need to see, not someone whose prime qualification for the position is that of being unstintingly nosey, and knowing nothing of which she speaks about......... Bahhhhh my favourite subject....... :D :D

wildwoman profile image
wildwoman in reply toFibrofoggiest

Hi foggy, I think you should get a medal and stand on the podium with flowers just for perseverance! Xxxxx

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply towildwoman

Agreed. I have a script clerk who actually said "I'm not letting you have that". I put the fone down and made an appointment with the doctor. Cheek. Go Foggy go.

I'll just add beating Father Jack to the drink then sign off. 'nite all It's been a great day :D :D

fenbadger profile image
fenbadger in reply towildwoman

Oh Wildwoman, thanks for suggesting the fibrolympics. It's been a delightful ramble down Lunacy Lane. :P :P :P

Next contest, drinking Mrs Doyle's tea. Go on.

Aww Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on. Go on.

wildwoman profile image
wildwoman in reply tofenbadger
