    Hello

    Just thought I would post a quick update. I've still got my IV line in. They finally sorted my drugs out. We discovered that the reason I was feeling so ill was that I was overdosing thanks to the instructions given to me by the pharmacy!! It does make you think, I just take drugs without thinking of the dosage. Had to have a load of tests done to check that it hadn't done any permanent damage but it hasn't thank goodness!!

    I've got 2 more mystery shopping jobs lined up so that will bring my total tally to 5 jobs and about £50 earnt!! I've also started on AQA today. It's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be but I'll hopefully get the hang of it eventually. I've earnt £9.00 from it tonight but I've got to stop now for a beginners review. I think I can start officially on Friday so we all know what I'll be doing at the weekend!!

    Trying to get back into my competitions too, if I can find the time! I got a text today saying that I've won a £10 Morrisons voucher so that's a good start. I'm trying to win my fortune!! ;)

    Anyway, must go and put my drugs in so I can got to bed at a reasonable hour (they take an hour to do!!).

    Take care everyone.

    Good for you - hope you're feeling much better now.
  • Hey Emily,

    Lots of love to you - I hope the IV and drugs are doing the trick - you be careful with those dosages.

    Quick question - did you ever start on that card making venture for the neo-natal unit or have you got too much on just now?

    Emily - I am going to vote for you now! How on earth you have managed to stay so positive and active throughout everything you have been through I am not quite sure. It sure stopped me feeling sorry for myself!!!

    Don't wear yourself out though!

    Emily I'm off to vote for you too. You're so busy and active, or should that be pro-active? Both actually! I'm full of admiration for you. Well done and thanks for posting despite having so much else to cope with.

    Thanks for your message. I am sorry I didn't email you to thank you for all of the lovely items you sent me. I have been raising money for the baby unit. I am up to £220 so far which is fantastic!! I'm still selling some cards at work and other places (am selling some in my local hairdressers) and I am taking orders of cards from a lot of people so it's doing really well. I think Bliss (The premature baby charity) have had in excess of £500 from my family and friends as we asked for donations to go to them instead of flowers for Joshua and my dad. It feels like we have done something useful on behalf of my little Joshua. I know my dad would have like to feel that he has helped too.

    Thank you to everyone for your very kind messages too. They really cheer me up and keep me going when I feel a bit down.

    Emily xx

    Hi Emily.

    Just had a quick read of this thread - managed to miss it which is unlike me :D !! (hope my boss isnt reading this.....). I think you are doing amazingly well and it sounds as though you have had a real tough few months!! It is definately humbling and it makes me think that I do not know how lucky I am most of the time!!

    You are doing so so well & I wish you all the best in your debt free ness & hope things get better for you!!

    Big hugs.

    xx
