@Sandy_123 fingers crossed grand daughter gets seen its shocking people have to go to a&e because they can't see a gp especially today with nurse strikes 

Sandy_123

I know its rammed in there, I'm glad I've not had to take her. Mommy's had to have a day off work.

Hi @ada might be best to wait and see how you are incase you've taken them.

Mightvbe useful to get a Dosset box to put tablets in, then you have days on them.

@Ada I get brain fog too. I bought my planner to keep track of everything, diary, meds etc. I know it can be difficult to even pick up the thing and remember to record it but I am finding it easier than expected. Someone else on google said they turn their pill bottle/packet upside down when they have taken them so they remember. Big hugs, having a poor memory sucks.  

janer1967

@Ada could you work out how many you should have taken from the pack and how many you have left l

@Sandy_123 yes this time next week I will be up in the sky on my way

Hi,

I hope people are well.

I have had an awful cough today and now feel exhausted from all the coughing and my chest and stomach muscles ache.

I am going for a day out tomorrow, first outing for quite a few days so looking forward to that.

Does anyone know how the cold weather payment works? Does it have to be below 0 on every single day for a 7 day period, or is it just the average over 7 days? We have had -5 to -9 or so for the last 5 days and it's due to be around 5 degrees for the next 2 days. So averaged out it's still been freezing for a week but obviously we haven't had 7 days of freezing if that makes sense.

SueHeath

Hi @66Mustang lovely to hear from you, hope your trying some cough meds for your cough, you've been bad for a while now, perhaps you need to see if your chest is okay bab.
 Sorry afternoon/evening all you lovelys. Hope your all well and keeping warm.
Had a nice visit of my old manager this afternoon, she's made me a Christmas cake bless her, lovely surprise and a nice catch up.
Glad at least your Grand daughter got some meds @Sandy_123 awful how things are getting at the moment.
Little tip of me @Ada i have a piece of paper in my med box's and write day/time i take my meds, hopefully you'l be okay if you have missed one lot, bet we've all done it. x

Sandy_123

Hi @66Mustang hope your cough gets better soon 

I'm not sure how it works the cold payments, I think it has to be 7 days. 1 has been issued in my area as its been really cold. I'm so looking faward to Sunday when it warms up.

66Mustang

Thanks @SueHeath and @Sandy_123

I am just looking forward to the ice melting so I can go back out for walks and driving!! 

SueHeath

I know what you mean @66Mustang - fingers crossed the weather will be better next week, take care of that cough tho x

Sandy_123

SueHeath

You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or below over 7 consecutive days. A payment is activated even if the weather is forecasted to be that temperature. I've had 2 payments so far and my 2nd one is dated between 13th and 19th Decemeber and we haven't even reached that date yet.

@poppy123456 I've just checked the price for gas  I've had it on since about  8am, 10 hours, 6 pound it's cost so far that's because my house is a cold house

durhamjaide2001

Wow a lot to catch up on.

@66Mustang I'm sorry you have a cough. Where are you going tomorrow. 
@Ada I hope you want to look after the dogs and your landlord isn't making you.
