HS:MS - Bedroom

Do you have a fave spot or piece of furniture in your bedroom?



I love the curtain rail in our bedroom!

Not a happy bunny today as I have been awake with a sore throat most of the night which started half way through Doc Martin last night. Last time I had a really sore throat I ended up with acute gutate psoriasis which lasted for months and months and covered me in horrible red patches. Apparently it was as a result of having severe tonsillitis so now every time I get a sore throat I panic. Hopefully this is just a cold as I can't see white blotches yet.

The boys choose their pumpkins at the weekend and cut them out ready for Halloween. Kyle's is the grim reaper, he had a little bit of help but Matt did the other one all by himself.

A good tip for keeping them from shrivelling before the big day is to put them in water over night or rub Vaseline round all the cut out bits to stop it loosing moisture. We've gone for the water method as it's less messy and we are not sure how flammable Vaseline is?

I do like your curtain rail, its unusual and I like unusual.

Im sorry to hear you have a sore throat, I suffered over the weekend but now its gone just leaving me a complete snot pile.

Dont you feel the urge to try the vaseline just as a scientific experiment? I mean, surely an exploding pumpkin, with a tripod and low shutter speed could make some very interesting photos. Where's your sense of adventure?? :o)

Awww Rach, you cant be ill on Halloween, you have pumpkins to detonate for a start.

Wrap up and eat unhealthy foods like cake and stuff and hope you feel better very soon xx

Hi rach!

Oh! Sending you ((hugs)). Whisky/Brandy are best. If it makes you feel better put the tot in a Hot Lemon but don't be fooled . . . it's the tot that works not the other stuff!!

I'm afraid DH has had something similar for a fortnight! Very sore throat and coughing. Very much man flu but to be fair he has suffered . . . even I can see that.

LOL at Suzyb's remark re the experiment!! Powerful Pumpkin Pieces Everywhere!!
