Spent 4 years pretending it's all OK

Omeprazole Puzz?

Hope you are ok NOAh - I've been missing for a while but just checking back in and slowly catching up. I am fighting with my own weight and have been on this low carb diet to stop my migraines. It is working on that front but I found that when I blew it all out for the first time in weeks on some serious carbs (Pizza, garlic bread, nachos, cookie dough and ice cream :o:o) I got the worst reflux of my life, far worse than when I was pregnant and it controlled me for 9 months in fact! Have you thought about cutting the carbs out of your evening meals?

Big hugs xxx

That's the one!
Hey Lilty, sorry haven't been around much - thanks for popping by. I eat really early 6.6.30pm ish and don't go to bed til after 11, and only eat small meals in the evening. Haven't cut out carbs totally, but may need to try at some point.
What I really need to cut out is stress.


Hoe all OK at your end?
Hugs

Morning Everyone:)
Last few weeks have been packed to the brim and I can't believe we nearly half way through the year. Pulled in all directions but don't seem to have got any thinner:p
Working full time so pretty exhausted, but it feels nice not to have to be spending time every evening juggling money between accounts to make sure everything stayed within limits. Still haven't managed to summarise/catch up with budget, there are piles and piles of receipts everywhere. Have run a pretty tight ship though, with only a few little slips, most on long overdue essentials. Enough in bank to cover everything till end June mid July, with a couple of new enquiries in the pipeline, fingers crossed.
Half term now, DD home and is working so should be able to pay for her own things and hopefully save some for next year at uni. I do have to drive her there and back though as public transport not good. she's earning 9.50 an hour so she's happy.
DS revising, starts GCSEs in Sept, and he's done well keeping on top of the mowing with me, so am very pleased with him.
Have also coordinated refit of parents bathroom to replace n=bath with shower as Dad can't get into a bath any more. Lovely DH is down there this week doing it all for them. Much as I moan about him he has always been good to my parents when stuff needs doing on the house. They didn't want to move for the week while without the bath, so are making do with just flannel washing, but are getting impatient now, and whilst I make every allowance and would do anything for them, mum has annoyed me this week because she listens to what others say and gets swayed:mad: despite the fact I have explained everything of what we are doing and why. Has made me feel a bit resentful and unappreciated this week, even though I know how stressful everything is for them.
Stayed down there early part of the week despite DS needing to revise. Reason they are like that is that Dad is on a steady decline and losing mobility week by week. Got up at 4,30 this am as couldn't sleep. Three loads washing out drying, shower room cleaned, kitchen just awaiting a good mop, letters to clients done and dry cleaning for DH dropped off when I took DD to work. Made calls to source bariatric shower stool from disability product companies - just need to place order.
Need to update SC I&E this week so can send update to creditors that have been on reduced payments for a year nearly. Just paid £300 for DS language exchange in Sept.
ALso need to help parents sort out a will , they have been nagging me for a while. It s simple so think will get one of those packs form WH*Sm*th?
Loads of own paperwork to catch up on. when Time allows. So sorry haven't managed to catch up with dairies, much on my mind.


Lots of Love n Hugs

Great to read your update. Lots going on its seems.

Hi Bobarella,
Thanks for popping in There is lots going on - I feel like I'm on that hamster wheel thing that just gets faster and faster, and all I want to do is stop! A couple of days ago I got into the car. Greenhouse effect meant it was really hot inside, and it felt l-o-v-e-l-y. I closed my eyes and imagined I was in Spain on the beach, the heat felt so nice and relaxing. I just wanted to stay there and sleep, but instead I drove off and bought some radiator thermostatic valve fittings for parents so they can turn off rads upstairs and save some money:D.
