...is killing me! It's so hot and muggy. I can feel my face sweating and I'm all sticky. It feels like this past week or so even in the room the whole atomosphere is a lot more warmer and muggy. I don't mind a bit of good weather but I hate it when it starts to affect the air indoors which is your only escape route. I cannot believe how muggy it actually is. I'm having to re-apply de-ordrant on the hour and even with the window open it still feels stuffy. I'm dying a death at the hands of the weather here! It's like a desert in this room honestly. I keep expecting to feel sand between my toes and turn round and see some kinda giant cactus looming. Oh my god, it's getting worse. And before anybody says maybe you've got too much clothes on, I haven't got any! I've taken them all off as a result of this unpleasant atmosphere. I'm glad I'm now back on in-def sick leave from work because I wouldn't be working in this heat one bit! I'm lazy as it is without having to work in these appalling conditions! Gimme rain anyday and I'll thank you for it! OMG this is just awful. I've never felt so horrendous. It's giving me an headache. God knows what it's going to be like when I turn in for bed in about half an hour. I'm going to have to leave the window wide open for starters otherwise I'll combust or something in my sleep. This is astonishing. I feel dreadful. It's so muggy and sticky...BAHHHHH I hate it! :mad:

I know exactly what you mean. I suffer really bad from hayfever and so far have only been taking homeopathic tablets, which don't appear to be doing much, so all of the windows are closed!!! My lovely hubby bought me an air conditioning unit yesterday though, but as soon as I turn it off, I am dripping, and I don't even want to think about my electric bill!!!!!! Can't sleep, can't breathe, can't see anything - not good combinations!!!!

Yeah i agree with the weather most of the time we are deprived from warm weather and we get sick of the rain and we like why cant we have a bit of sun

But then we get stuck with this disgusting muggy heat we are not prepared for i like warm weather it nice but with a cool breeze not to the extent of not being able to sleep :lol:

It's the whole atomosphere indoors that I hate! I don't mind it outside as long as it's got a refreshing breeze but it gets so muggy indoors. I've had to leave about 5 windows open to let some fresh air in.

Have just dropped of little 'un for pre-school, come home and had a massive hayfever attack, couldn't see, sneezing etc. Now sat indoors, air con unit going and still can't move.

Its a sign of dehydration. In hot weather you should be drinking plenty of water frequently. Try a big glass of water every 30 mins.

lol i dont think you'll be too dehydrated if you keep the orange juice thing up.

Depends on the frequency you drink the orange juice.

Jojo
20-06-2005, 14:24
Depends on the frequency you drink the orange juice.Unfortunately for my stomach, a glass every 1/2 hour or so!!! :rotfl:

Meh

Try water only then. Could be a reaction to the contents of the orange juice.

Jojo
20-06-2005, 14:32
That certainly wouldn't surprise me, though I have suffered with hayfever since I was 5 (a long time ago!!) and this is the first year that I have only taken homeopathic stuff, because of being pregnant. So that doesn't help either.

Treacle
20-06-2005, 14:44
I don't know whether what I have is classed as hayfever or not (I'm not allergic to pollen or anything) but the dogs fur makes me sneeze a lot and my eyes puff up. I don't think a reaction to dogs fur is classed as hayfever though is it?

Jojo
20-06-2005, 14:46
Its certainly an allergy but as you say, hayfever is the general term given to allergic reactions to grass pollen, flower pollen and tree pollen

Treacle

I have 4 dogs as well lol. Glutton for punishment :)

Jojo

I've got 2 guinea pigs and what has to go in their cage - hay!!! How sensible am I (not!!!!)

Treacle
20-06-2005, 15:01
I couldn't have guinea pigs due to the cats, they'd probably eat them or something. Not to mention my dogs! I had an hamster once and the dogs used to go crazy to get hold of it.

Luna
20-06-2005, 15:17
My dogs always been brilliant with all my other animals She loves playing with the hamster in it's ball and plays with all the bunnies when they are running about the house........although she does lick her lips when the budgie is flying about......think i'll have to watch that one

Treacle
20-06-2005, 15:18
I had one of them hamster balls and it rolled down a flight of stairs once :lol: My hamster was okay though!
My son kicked it once though at the radiator when he was in a mood. The hamster survived that as well.

Luna
20-06-2005, 15:24
My step dad thinks it's funny the play "spin the ball" the poor hamster gets all dizzy but he's conviced that the hamster likes it.......

Treacle
20-06-2005, 15:30
LOL. It's horrible when they die. I went to clean the cage and it wouldn't come out of it's straw so I lifted it out and it was shaking then it snuffed it.

Luna
20-06-2005, 15:31
My second one died because it swallowed it's teeth after breaking them swinging from the top bars



I dread when any of my wabbit's die though.....they're my babies

Treacle
20-06-2005, 15:47
I had 2 rabbits, one died and I sold the other for a fiver. There was a greedy one that ate all the food so the other one died so we sold the greedy one.

Luna
20-06-2005, 15:53
aaaaawwww....

My new one just had babies( we think between six and eight)....even though i was told it was a boy when i bought it....got a hell of a shock on Saturday when i went in to feed them. Neeed to think of a new name for him/ Her now

We were in Germany and they served us up this weird meat and it had spiky bits in it and we typed what we ordered off the menu into my friends translator and it came up as hedgehog!

My brother owns (wait for it) 2 rats, 1 chinchilla, 5 guinea pigs, 2 ferrets, 2 dogs, 1 cat, hundreds of giant african land snails (cause they had babies), 3 hamsters and 5 or 6 frogs!!!!! The chinchilla is really cute and the rats aren't too bad - I wasn't a great lover of them but when I had to look after them they have these treats, almost like chocolate drops, which they were really gentle with. The problem is that the only animals which are kept outdoors are the guinea pigs, the frogs and snails are in the kitchen/hallway, and the rest in the front room, apart from the dogs and cat which obviously go where ever they want!!! I don't see them that often!!!! :lol:

Its really hot here but we get coastal breezes. But they aint that strong!! It's still boiling, but a bit early for going in the sea!!

Treacle
21-06-2005, 17:26
I would never go in sea water anyways, it's dirty :)

Jojo
22-06-2005, 10:15
I would never go in sea water anyways, it's dirty :)Nor me, I'm 1/2 hour away from 3 different beaches and although they might have this blue flag thing, I know what I have seen floating around in the water!! :sick: No way would you get me in there.

We have no breeze here again - not going to get any let up until Fri according to local weather

Luna
22-06-2005, 10:25
I never go in the sea i think about it too much all the wee fishes doing there business in there and us swimming about in it yuk

Debs
22-06-2005, 10:35
i wouldnt swim in the sea either just dont know what your gonna see bobbing aroumnd in the water

Jojo
22-06-2005, 10:47
And the scum and foaming that happens when the tide breaks, and the colour too - not nice or inviting.

You won't catch me going near a British beach. Last time I saw the beach at Blackpool it looked nasty. I have heard that Tourqay (sp?) has nice beaches with blue water.

It's absolutely dire. It never used to be though. It used to be packed out on a British bank holiday with donkeys and everything and people swimming in the water but it's disgusting now.

Treacle
22-06-2005, 12:59
I'm also allergic to salty water. I suppose what I'm really annoyed about is the weather, it's still far too muggy. That skinhead is becoming more of an attractive option everyday.

Luna
22-06-2005, 13:00
No need to shave your head i'll swap with you it's been pouring down for days here

Treacle

Lucky you! We need more of a breeze, it seems to feel more muggy at night time :)

Dawlish (another one close by) had to be closed last season due to illnesses being cause from bathing in the water too, had a rash everywhere was called impetigo (sp?) or something!! :sick:

British beach's are declining rapidly.

Luna
22-06-2005, 20:39
The cleanest beach i've ever seen was in Gumbet, Turkey. They had all the guys out at night cleaning up at night and even cleaned and disinfected the sunloungers. If anyone dropped something during the day they were right over either picking it up themselves or asking the person to pick it up

di marco
22-06-2005, 21:00
the cleanest beach ive ever seen was in cairns in australia, the sand was just so white and the water was so clear, me and my sis couldnt believe it!

Treacle
22-06-2005, 21:06
I'm defo going there then lol :)

di marco
22-06-2005, 21:08
I'm defo going there then lol :)

and it wasnt even the little island beach either. we sort of could understand that maybe the island one would be clean but the main beaches that everyone uses were so clean as well, we couldnt believe it that loads of people use it and it looked like that

Treacle
22-06-2005, 21:22
When I go on holiday. I'm not really a beach person though. I prefer to lounge around by the pool at the hotel rather than sunbathe on the beach.

don't get me wrong i love the summer but it is soooo hot!! i work in s mall shop with 3 fridges in it, they give off loads of heat and some joker keeps turning our air con off at night. it hit 35 degrees in there today and now the fridges are not cooling properly due to the excessive heat in the shop!! why did my manager decide to have this week off and leave me in charge!!!!

Treacle
22-06-2005, 22:57

I pegged the washing out in almost nuddy earlier. I had to do it! Too hot.
I have 9 Pc's in this room and it's not very big so it's like a sauna you walk into this room and the heat nearly knocks you back out again, it's so strong.

Normally when I sleep naked it's after sex because I can never be bothered to hop out of bed and put one of my silk nighties on.

Jojo
24-06-2005, 12:12
It would be a "funny" scene if we were unlucky to have a fire or anything, cause we'd all be outside with no clothes on!! :lol: Though we always make sure there is something quick to put on next to the bed in order that we can jump into them if anything happened. Done it for years so feels weird wearing anything to bed now!

Luna
24-06-2005, 13:34
Oh no i couldn't sleep naked, need something to keep me warm at night

Jojo

we had lots of rumbles of thunder i am not sure about lighening as i was at work all day but the lights in the shop flashed a few times, i thought it was going to go dark!!! i always get a horrible headache when ever there is a thunder storm i have been in pain all dayWe had thunder storms from 1am till and it was still rumbling at 5pm!! At one point I was counting from lightening (as you do) and didn't get to one so it was right over us. Loads of strikes all over and power lost to 16,000 round us, though we were really lucky. It was pretty scary when it was right above us and really loud!! I just kept repeating a story I heard on Balamory, that its like popcorn popping in the sky to try and calm down. Sad eh?! And at my age too!! :rotfl:

i had it here too
it went from the hottest day of the week to the coldest and stormiest
i was ready for a hot day, iced my drink, left my blazer at school, wore a skirt
lol it ended up being horrible
but i did enjoy the rain it was different

Jojo
24-06-2005, 22:38
We went out and bought an 8ft paddling pool as my eldest had the day off today, just he could have fun in the garden and keep cool!! Thats probably why we had the thunder storm!! :lol:

Anyone else had storms today? We had one about 1ish and we've got another one coming now...

we didnt really have it that bad, the rain in total only lasted for about 20mins at about 1.30 and there was a few bits of thunder but thats it, though after the rain it was still boiling. im really glad its cooler today though, yesterday i thought i was going to die when i was at school, it was so hot, we tried everything all the windows open but it didnt make any difference as there was no breeze, the school needs to invest in fans or air con!

Treacle
25-06-2005, 14:04
I have a clothes horse thing in the front room dying some of my bits and bobs but it always takes forever. This weather is good for something - getting some stuff out on the line. I've been washing the bedding this weekend and it's murder waiting for it to try on the clothes maiden but if I stick it out on the line it gets lots of fresh air on it and drys faster.

willow

I handwash my towels and hang them over a radiator but in this weather, radiators would kill me!

not too bad at work though as we have air con, but i am home now and can really feel it!!!

11-07-2005, 16:29
i walked round the local shop for an hour because it had air con.

Treacle
11-07-2005, 16:34
It doesn't help with the PC because it gives off heat. You walk into my study and it's like a sauna. It just hits you. I can't even go and sit outside because it's still burning out there. I know we complain about our poor weather and I love a bit of sunshine but you can't beat a cool breeze to accompany it. The fact of the matter is we're not used to conditions that're too hot and this for me is scorching. We're really lucky though to have hot weather I know and I just wish I could enjoy it but I just can't be doing with it. I'm all sticky. There's just no air atall in the room.

willow
11-07-2005, 16:34
i sometimes sit in the cellar at work as it is so nice and cool, better than the air con!!!

Treacle

Have to get it fixed but it's not the room I spend most time in.

I get bad sunburn too. I don't peel as much but my skin is inflamed inside and flames up.

I have a darker skin tone anyways, like a golden tan. It seems the more white you are the more likely you'll go pink or peel or even both.

My cousin peels all the way across her back and shoulders.

willow
11-07-2005, 16:42
i am really lucky i don't really burn i just go brown, so does my son he is really brown (and its not dirt i gave him a bath yesterday!!) and he has got dark blond hair too so it makes him look even more tanned!!

It was 33oC in my office when I got to work this morning, and I had a migraine starting anyway. I had to go home at lunch time, pick up the kids from sports camp and get home vomiting while driving. I feel like death, i am still sweaty at home and I have been in bed all afternoon. My kids had to make their own lunch and my hubby is in the states.

Thankfully my friend is now home from work and she is feeding my kids tonight and getting me some pills.

I much prefer the cold... You can add more layers! Unfortuantly, there's only so much you can do when it's hot.

The problem is when we have our cooler weather you can actually sit indoors and be able to breathe properly without going all sticky.

Put us in the freezer puhhhlease.

Treacle
11-07-2005, 22:11
The problem is you cannot get any air. We're not used to it.

When it's colder we can actually breathe and go about our daily buisness indoors normally.

The problem is even outside it's far too hot to be lounging around. It makes it worse that I'm in the sauna room with the computers although it's still muggy allover the house. The kids are in bed asleep, the heat has knocked them out. And trust me my two are never in bed before 11 so it is bad.

See i'm a ginger and i think it affects me more I go out for five minutes and my skin is on fire!!!1 I sit in the house and have to try and find the wee tiny space that isn't getting any sun for fear that i am going to get burnt. I ahd factor 50 on yesterday and still managed to get burnt!!!! I want a skin transplant!!!!

Yes but it was still too hot to be in the garden today though. I honestly had to go inside again.

Well atleast it's something we're all used to and we can actually breathe indoors in our own homes and know we've had a nice cold satisfying breath of fresh air. Not humid, warm short gasps for air where it doesn't exist at the moment. If it wasn't for the window being open. I'm convinced I'd be dead by now!

My weekend was spent in our 8ft paddling pool with the boys, looking like a beached whale, but hey, I was cool!!!! Got my aircon in the front room, and windows all open now as pollen season is starting to change, so not so badly affected - have naughtily indulged in a very small glass of ice cold beer over the weekend - bliss!!

Treacle
13-07-2005, 11:45
It seems to be a bit cooler at the moment. I went and got a big fan from Argos a stand up one. I've had it right next to me and I've had it on all night in the bedroom.

We had about 5 mins rain today then the sun came back out again but there is still a nice breeze around here so the weather is perfect now!
