    Kids are going to the twins' house later so that I can attempt to sort out the LR ready for the new settee coming on Saturday. Tomorrow we are going to Alton Towers - kids don't know so Miss A shush! - so everything needs doing today.

  • I dont usually do doctors but i thought i'd better go this time. Phoned NHS24 yesterday because i felt dreadful - Vomiting, diarrhoea, kidney pain, cold sweats. The nurse listened to all my symptoms and said ' i think you have a backache - take some paracetemol.':confused: Ehh, how do you figure that then?

    Anyway, need to go pick up my prescription and go to uni.

    G&B Hope you're feeling better today, that 'bad back' sounded awful... (:confused: sometimes it's best not to ask eh!) are the tablets working? sounds to me like you will need a bit more than anti-sickness tablets and imodium?

    Tooch - sorry I missed your birthday, hope you had a great day...:T

    Just catching up with all the goss, (only 10 pages to go...:eek: ) as didn't manage to get on here at all last night when I got home... Not really flying, more waddling this week for me, but able to stay on top of most of it as been doing so well other weeks, boy does that help...

    And sorry, my thanks button is either working, or I have to hit it about 50 times for it to work, so while catching up, please excuse if I don't stay and thank if it doesn't work that time...:o
