Hi All,

Just got back from Somerset, lovely change of scenery, shame about the weather, but hey,

we are English and can cope. That’s one reason to be cheerful, now let me think.

  1. It’s not raining here today.

  2. Got a lovely family, friends, my little dog, and my sense of humour.

  3. Still alive!

Take care everyone, hope today is good for you.

Hi All,

Should have kept me mouth shut about not raining…chucking it down here

That’ll teach me!

Sometimes I get that feeling like M about doing some housework…but it passes.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi - I’m a bit of a spy in here as I don’t have PPMS but this post itself has made me very cheerful! What a lovely bunch you are

15

Lovely post from friendly spy debc… another reason to be cheerful,

Hi Pat Glad to know that I am not the only one. Amytriptiline gave me the most terrible insomnia when it is supposed to help you sleep! Had to take Gabapentin instead! Am hoping the summer holidays will ensure my 7-year-old wakes up later. Atm it is still 6:30 ish. Yuk! Another reason to be cheerful - yet another sunny day! Teresa xx

Hi all,

I am another spy and don’t belong here!!

Teresa - my 8yr old son is still getting up early even though they have broken up from school but how can i be grumpy when he woke me this morning with a big hug and a kiss.

A really good reason to be cheerful - unconditional love!

I let him down so many times and feel really guilty about it but he doesn’t seem to mind as we have ‘our special bond’

My teenage daughter however has still not got out of bed yet! LOL!

What a lovely way to be woken up Teresa. You can’t really complain about the time, can you? My other 3 would sleep for England if allowed! Teresa xx

And mine is still sleeping…! Still, 'tis quiet - another reason to be cheerful!

Went with friend in her car to lovely old house in Highgate with huge gardens and lovely restaurant.

Was very good and had the home-made fish cakes and salad… and then not so good with apple crumble and ice cream…

Sat on a bench in the shade and just watched all the people stroll by with lovely dogs and kids.

Very good reason to be cheerful…

HOT in London!

Hoping everyone had a good Sunday,
