Thanks so much Valerie!

I've come down with a cold....ugh, I hate colds. I wonder if cough medicine is synned...? I'll check the SW website....I need to be medicated!

EDIT: Drat! 2 tsp of cold medicine is 1.5 syns...I've used up 3 syns on cough meds already.....

 

[sarah83]

Yuk - I had a cold a couple of weeks ago and it was horrible.
Had some sneaky unsynned honey and lemon drinks homemade by my hubby - seemed to do the trick. And I don't agree with synning medication - if you need it you need it

 

[Kenco]

How are you today?.It's really miserable isnt it when you don't feel well.My son had a stinking cold last week bless him and felt really rotten.Hope you feel better soon.x

 

[Christiana]

Thanks guys, I feel much better today. Swapped the cough syrup for some "fast-acting" tablets...I don't agree with synning meds either, no fair! I hate having colds as I can never seem to shake them for ages....I'm hoping that's changed since I'm somewhat healthier.

Thanks guys! Your support truly means the world to me :hug99:

Harry Potter was awesome! I feel sad it's all coming to an end now...this was my "go to" franchise after LotR...

 

[why_d]

HP was indeed awesome! just wish they'd split the half blood prince in half also as it was a great book that lost out on loads when translated to the movie... this new half book format really really worked! so cant wait for the last instalment!

I agree on Half Blood Prince why-d, feels like it should've been "fleshier". The last one is due July of next year...then it'll all really be over for good!

Awwww Sarah, I was close to tears on a few occasions myself! A Voldemort "prequel" sounds like an excellent idea!

 

[sarah83]

Well done on your loss!
OMG - wasn't Harry P AMAZING!! I still managed to cry my eyes out on two particularly sad occassions (won't say in case spoiler!!) even though I knew they were coming. Particularly on the second where the whole cinema was sobbing.
I loved it loved it loved it and really don't want it to come to an end.
Although my recommendation to JK is that she rights a sequel - about Voldemort first coming into power... hmm food for thought

I'm a bit worried.....I've been pretty good this week, but I feel "heavy". I really hope this week isn't one of those unexplained gains...

It gets worse! Weighed myself this morning (ore-brekkie) and my scales are saying I've gained 9lbs...how is this even possible? Granted, I don't like my scales on a good day...I guess I'll just have to weigh in tomorrow and see... :fingerscrossed:

 

[sarah83]

Naughty naughty - you shouldn't be having sneaky weighs. Wait to see what the scales say tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be fine.
