Hi Hazel 

noticed you put link on blog so thanks for that and a  couple have already been in touch

I like your new hairstyle btw and it suits you - looking all glam now and supermodel ish

So we now have Superdave and HotHazel..Great characters in this little club !

Sorry to hear of your appointment drama but glad you sorted.

And yup do you know what, I have taken some inspiration from Superdave and forced myself out this morning. Went into other village and got hair cut, then picked up medications then went shopping.
Will force myself out tomorrow again.Gave myself a slap in the face with a wet fish this morning and determined to up the ensures again ( i've been slipping, me bad) and getting out more. Even if Im tired im tired anyways. Think im short of a game of football but I do actually feel I should do more and I can honestly say it was a little wake up after reading how well Dave is doing ( so thanks Dave)
Will see how I get on but probably not helping myself by not  taking all my ensures and meals so what can I expect and just needed a little wake up call. Hopefully next week will have me on better terms

If I picked you up correctly do you still struggle with getting prescriptions from your GP?
Mine does not bat an eyelid and ive just picked up 168 bottles Ensure. As for mouthwash I get Caphasol tablets and 4 bottles of Difflam every 4 weeks so they give me a bottle a week to use.I noticed in the chemist Difflam mouthwash is about £8.60 a bottle ! but in anycase strange no chemist around you stocks as its on shelf in mine. Even so,can you not get an alternative prescribed?

At least you have some sunshine to look worward to and hope you really enjoy ( AGAIN LOL )

That’s the spirit Ian push yourself more if your body will allow it..do it and stay positive.

Dave

My sweet tooth is hit and miss now I used to be snacking between meals all the time biscuits crisps and nuts..now I have the odd desert or small cake the urge just isnt there now, maybe it will come back? 

Dave

Hi Dave

Im having the camera up the nose next thursday Hazel Iv had it twice already the first time the doc sprayed my nose with numbing spray the second time my now regular doc just shoved it up without any spray like he was clearing the chimney and it made my eyes water a bit but it wasnt that bad, its just something they need to do. 

Im not looking forward to the Chelsea game we dont ususally come away from there with anything, maybe Ole can change all that though.
