Well I suppose giving up pork and chocolate has to be easier than snorting all the stuff I am at the moment; I'll give it a go. I've nothing to lose except weight.

Dear Chantal, i bet Tigger's talk of surgical procedure, has cheered you up.

Hmm. One of the reasons I need to get rid of this poxy sinusitis is so that I can HAVE a surgical procedure. They're not keen on knocking you out cold when you have trouble breathing...

If I could just stay outside on my alloment all the time I'd be fine ; it's being inside that does for me.

Dear Chantal, sorry to have bought that up.
Have you tried Sinutab from the chemist, they realy did work for me a couple of years ago.

Sinutab don't even hit the spot for me unfortunately, so my chemist gave me ACTIFED, which worked wonders in the end...

That's OK OH, I'm only having my gall bladder out, it's nothing serious or embarassing

Decongestants and I don't get on. They're good when I take them and then the minute I stop things get worse than ever.

I still think James Martin, a large tub of Vick and ... that would sort me out. The trouble is I'd probably suffer some broken bones being trampled by Tigger.

Hi Chantal

I'm sorry you're not well.

I can sypathise. I've had severe sinusitis and I couldn't lift my head up off the pillow. It was horrible so I know how you feel. It's not pleasent.

Have you tried going in a sauna and lobbing a bit of Albas oil onto the coals? It might help. I did this the other day to try to stop a cold coming on. The 5 gentlemen in there were ok about it. Nice chappies.

Not stopped my cold but had a nice chat anyway in there

Watched the show for the first time yesterday and it was ok. I loved his greenhouse with the built in cold frames. Very nice. The garden was good too and, given time will be fab.

It made a nice change to see genuine enthusiasm. I'll try to remember when it's next on and try to catch it.

He does have lovely blue eyes though. Not as nice as my boys in the band though!!!!!

sounds like everyones caught man flu

If that's man flu Richard - It's an epidemic here.

One week today and I'll be in the front row of his (JM) Great Food Demo. Ah. Bliss. First seen in 1996..........If only I was as lithe as then.....

Chantal - I've broken my nose twice - before the age of 11 - but the memories live on and I would be happy to apply them to you.

As I love you to bits, I'll do a bit of research on broken bits, sinusitis, pork, chocolate, anything that might help. PM's on their way girl.......

Dear Chantal, i hope we find you in better health this morning.
Tigger how on earth have you managed to break your nose twice, you weren't a boxer when you were younger were you.
Lizzie, who are the boys in the band, have i missed something.

Nothing that interesting OH......Broke it the first time opening a sash window at junior school. Sash cord broke and window fell out onto my head. It was just healing when I was playing kiss chase in the playground. Went to hide in the girl's outside loos. Got into a push/shove routine with some (now forgotten) boy who closed the loo door wedging my nose in the latch.

Happy days!

Dear Tigger, that sounded very painful indeed, especially the second.
Glad it didn't put you off kissing the boy's in later life though.
If the window had done that now, you could have had a big claim.

Put a wheat bag (hot) or hotwater bottle on the back of your neck it will relieve your sinuses also try to massage your cheek bones works wonders I promise

Thanks Gilly, I have a wheat bag and it will be in the microwave shortly. I am definitely going to the doctor tomorrow; this is getting silly. I'm going deaf too and am thoroughly fed up with the whole thing.
