First ever blog on the bog
Honest, I'm not joking, had no idea my wireless...
... extended thus far.
The tummy bug has been having fun all night, though I suspect running out of steam now. The shooting pain has very slowly been moving down from my tummy, almost in layers and closer and closer towards the exit point. It feels almost as if the whole thing has been on the move. Is this what happens ? Is it like having a child ? I'm joking of course.
Now haven't eaten a thing for over twenty four hours, so am absolutely starving but don't know what to do.
Took a well known solidifier yesterday, after which every person I came into contact with told me I'd done the wrong thing with most docs highly disapproving of the drug. What are you gonna do ?
Photo shoot now not until next week either, so will have to keep the lard down with real proper excercise and sweaty stuff.
Dr. Footlights did the trick during the show last night coming to my rescue. Dr. Footlights is an invisible force that gets you through your business but guarantees you'll want to die at the end of it, which is pretty much what happened after the we came off the air.
In bed for nine, sweating buckets by ten past. Uhmm lovely.
Love the tip about the flat coke, will give it a try next time, for now I think I'm almost out the other side. I may evevn treat myself to a bacon butty. Is that wrong ?

Any time this happens to me, I start off with trying to eat a slice of toast - no butter, nothing on it. If that goes ok, I would then give it a go with some scrambled eggs. Bacon butty might be a bit adventurous!
I can testify that the flat coke works like magic - you have to try this, even now, it will help!

Rosieposie you're right, it was me looking for the Tuscan spelt soup. They don't sell it online but they did email me back to let me know I could order it over the phone. Thanks for the offer though!!
Nicki-noos, that's awful to do it over the phone! Hope you and Mr N find something better soon x
Deev - yes!! Start working on the CV now, because even if it isn't you next time, morale will be in the sewer and life's too short (can you tell I've just got out of a situation like that??).

1 Pint Semi Skimmed Milk - Calcium

22 Pints Guinness!!!
Not sure in which order though!
I think the "hardening" medication is permissible for short term i.e. get through important meeting etc. but really you have something in your digestive system that needs out!

Sorry to hear that you're still a poorly bunny. I know it's been a long old journey back to full health for me so I wish you a speedy recovery (I can also endorse the benefits of flat cola).
The walk round the woods this morning was gawjus! Sun out, sky blue, ducks by the canal in fine form and Booboo pretending to be very brave by chasing them into the water, though if the truth be known it would only take one of them to turn and quack at her for her to come rushing back to me with her tail between her legs (what a wimp!).

Sorry to hear about the tum - and as well as the plain toast or rich tea biscuits suggested by others I find that plain cream crackers help. They add a bit of salt back into the system but are easy to digest.
Go slowly and don't overdo it!
New website is very retro - always takes me a while to adjust to changes but I'm sure I'll soon remember where to click.
I've been catching up on post-blog meet comments and am very glad it went well - and intrigued to know what Bingo looks like!But still not persuaded that FB is a good idea, so I'll have to use my imagination.......... shouldn't be too difficult.

Just remembered about you going to Brooklands, we went last year, it's brilliant.
We got a good last minute cheap deal at the H!lton in Cobham, which is 5 mins down the road, same price as some of the inns/lodges. Worth a check, they sometimes have really cheap deals if you pay in advance.
Also, make sure you pop into Merc world next door as well, it's free and you can sit in all the new cars and see a lot of their historic ones. You can also watch the people who have paid to have the track-day experience as well.

During an earlier period of no jobness I had the idea of maybe working for myself, preparing invoices, letters etc. for self employed bods, the ex-was self employed and absolutely cr*p at any paperwork, I thought they could drop off/post any scrappy bits of paper, I would then prepare and post invoice within 24hrs.
I could also chase payments etc.
I didn't get round to putting this plan into action as found a new job. Perhaps I'll start thinking of doing it again - never know I might get another job!
SweetPeaShe, thanks for your kind words.
Derbyfi - no,I wasn't really ill well apart from the tummy ache from hell, It was me appendix, all gone now and well on the road to wherever it is you go when you're feeling a bit better.
We had planned a nice light lunch - crackers and cheese, then whilst nipping to papershop the wiff of the new chippy grabbed us an we were powerless to resist, so have just scoffed massive pile of real nice crispy chips covered in mayo. I don't think it would have been possible to have got any more calories on the plate. I don't care, I need to put on a few pounds. Sorry Chris I don't think you should indulge in this culinary delight until things have settled down a bit.

Bingo - given all these positive comments what on earth have the women of scouseland been thinking all these years? Are they all too busy trying to bag Stevie G or Rooney (rather them than me there!) and the like? More fool them..........

I've also heard that ginger is good for upset tummies (the grow your own drugs chappie said so) so you could maybe try that.
The sun is shining here in the 'burgh (for now anyway), had a successful shopping trip this morning, have got a nice flowery frock to wear for the hen night on Thursday

At 7th Apr 2009, Aries-girl wrote:Hi Chris,
Love the show!
Soz to hear you have a touch of the intestinal jives going on but there's only one sure fire post evacuation fix known to man and that's mash. Mash, mash and mash. I'm a mash lover and think that the healing qualities of the humble mash is well overlooked as people love to throw money at exotic fruit, flora and fauna, native to neither our land nor our intestines. Potatoes is where it's at. As long as the mash is prepared with love - as all food should be. Apple mash......now there's an idea.......
It's my 46th birthday today and if am so lucky as to get a shout out by yer good self then I'd like to hear There Ain't No Pleasing You by the hugely underrated (like the potato) Chas and Dave who're playing the 100 Club on Friday night. The best gig in town I'd say. Ooops - sorry - that would be my son's band, The Bimmys.
Dilemma: The Bimmys have been offered£20K by my brother to promote them as he's looking for an investment and thinks they're made of the right stuff to hit the big time. They are really good but I want £20K to start my own mash restaurant and don'rt know if I should approach my brother to invest in me. Now I have a moral dilemma here because I could be robbing my son of a chance to make it with his band. So as you have fingers in both these investment pies I'd like to know what you're opinion is and I will abide by your decision. Should I take the £20K and start my restaurant because most bands just don't make it anyway or should I hand the opportunity to my son as not everyone loves mash. After all bands can make much bigger money than restaurants but the risk is higher.......I think. Please purvey me of your wisdom oh great one.
Debsx
PS I am known as Dilemma Debs for helping people out of such quandries but this one really has me stumped.
PPS I am an Aries and my son is Aquarius.
PPPS Why not have an astrology based dilemma surgery on the show! Maybe let's see how you get on with this one first.......

Hurrah!
I have been a mizzog auld moose today for no reason whatsoever other than being in need of a good bout of cheering up.
Spoke to a good friend at 5ish (ooops - missed the start of the show - sorry ... but it was worth it ...) and a mini smile is now planted on Deev chops.
Now off home to cook some divinely divalicious sticky ribs (Beezer's recipe - Mr Deev's fave), open a bottle of full bodied yet fruity red and watch The Arsenal triumph in Spain over Villareal.
Oh yes.
Come up and see me .... make me smile!

It being over happened so rarely, the boss and his son had keys to the petty cash tin, so 9 times out of 10 it was under after a while I stopped panicing (that don't look right) and would just go straight into accuse mode - always worked.
BUT on the rare times that it was over - secret the extra funds at bottom of tin - leave for a few months, so you would know if you'd coc*ed up, then, well it must be mine surely!!
In five years I think I made about 50p
I don't think I'd be suited to a life of crime!
