So did I. They just popped into my mind! I savoured the walnut first before ‘going in’ to the whip! Ah, happy days! Enjoy your bath and a read, smartie. Much love

 

Me too!!! According to the wiki entry, one walnut whip is eaten every 2 seconds!! 

 

Don't think I could eat it that fast

Oh yes - they are still available all over, including Amazon, but are very expensive. Best is to buy bulk - 36 whips for £20!!

Did you know they no longer have the walnut on top??

Well it was all over the news a few months ago that the cost of walnuts has sky-rocketed, so nestle had stopped putting them on to reduce costs??

 

In a bit of a trap here today. Woke with horrible head pressure/fog/ache. Lovely weather and everyone outside enjoying it and I can't do squat. Now the hotel opposite is piping music onto their patio, and then Salvation Army has set up and the two are competing and I am getting this horrible mix of the two. It is really setting me on edge - I can't stand it. Got my plugs in, but the low frequencies travel. Arrrgghghhh - someone take me away from all this noise and illness!!!

Yeah - she has resigned!! No surprise really. Big waste of time and effort - we could all see this day coming.

 

Doing my best to hang in there. Shame about your weather. I wish it were raining here so it would put pay to all the noise! Och - I sound like a right grumpy git! Not by choice I tell you, if my head were better screwed on I would consider going to my parents garden for some respite...

 

Indeed these things pass - and thank you for reminding me sugar lump

Getting the hang of this "och" now!

 

The noise has stopped, so far less jittery, but head is still on the warpath. Really don't like it as I am still a prisoner and feel like I am letting life pass me by having been indoors all day. I frequently have these thoughts - the old perfectionism which leads to depression. Should be out visiting some National Trust site or something, having an afternoon tea or a picnic etc... 

 

Apologies - don't want to bring the mood down! Weekends can be difficult - not aided by the fact that I have no work tomorrow either, so a second day like this is concerning, but hope head will be better...

LOL - holiday to Bourneo!! 

 

I have just popped over to Malasia myself, and is a lovely visit! Completely got rid of my head fog! Breathing the fresh air and loving every minute of it!!

 

Yes - a visit to parents and maybe a walk in the surrounding countryside might be called for. It will be out of the way of the rat race. I'd like to give the car a much needed bath as well, but this will depend on physical goings-on. We'll see. What will be will be.

 

Very much looking forward to hearing how your bank holiday monday turns out

Malaysia is a nice place! And I know I only washed the car last week (well remembered!), but you are forgetting about the seagulls!!

Hurrah!!

 

So glad to hear this! Unfortunately I have got something very nasty going on in my head, so I am not sure what can help at the moment. Woke up with bad head pain/fog and then got really dizzy and dancing eyes. I got myself out and to a friend, but after a while something really bad hit and came home while I still could. Had something similar during Cymbalta withdrawal, but that was much earlier on, not 6 weeks after last dose. Very scared at the moment and doing my best to distract....

You really need a blood pressure cuff IUN.

NM - ocular myoclonus is the name for the eyes. Started - along with the seizures when I tapered off the Cymbalta. It is nasty. Been quite a few weeks since seizures, and around 3 weeks since the eyes. Not as bad as it was during Cym withdrawal, but I really do not want it all over again.

 

Hat - Had a quick look at what is available with some good reviews and think I will opt for this one;

Looks good IUN.

All I can say, dear friends, is thank God for the wonderful sanctuary that is Borneo xxx xxx

Too bad that we can't have that sanctuary in Canada yet! Enjoy!

[invalidusername]

We've already been down this route NM.... is a shame for our Gailage.

 

Thanks for your support - been a rotten day, and after such a good few days. Confidence had started to come back... so let's hope tomorrow brings something a bit more favourable.

 

Hat - thanks for opinion - I'm off to order it.

Bless you NM - sweet dreams!! x

My thoughts for you today NM - such anniversaries are days to remember the wonder that was the person. Glad to see you follow the same protocol. This is what those who have passed before want us to be doing!
