    P.s. I'm very glad that wee Charlie is now with you Kass as i'm sure he's in much better hands and will be nursed back to proper growing health properly now :) Keep us updated!

    P.p.s. For some reason I seem to picture kittens as little ginger coloured things.... I was actually surprised when Charlie wasn't! Very cute though :)

  • Mouth is a dirty place, but your piercing is healed, eh? Is the bar a one piece? What about taking it out for an hour or so every day and sterilising it Milton Fluid or sommat?
    I do hope that this course of antiflybotics gets on top of it this time so you can start to feel "well". Maybe get hold of some rehydration stuff too?
    Hope you get some decent sleep tonight too and don't worry too much about the invites; you still have time on your side.

    If I've told everyone what I think they ought to be doing, then my work here is done and it's time for bed :D

    Awww sorry to hear that Tria! You have my complete sympathies!!

    I'd send you a hug...if we had anything but dodgy emoticons for them! ;)

    What's the gig?

    Thanks. Non-dodgy virtual hugs are just fine... because *now* the sinus headache that's been hanging around for days has decided it wants to try to be The Little Migraine That Could, if y'know what I mean. *clings to DHC box* Do Not Want!

    Not so much a gig. Choir performance at the Good Friday service over at Ainsworth Presbyterian (Unitarian) Chapel... I'm mezzo-soprano singing alto, as I may have mentioned before and forgotten, and I'm really hoping to be back in commission for that...

    Trialia, is it IBS cramps?! If they're that bad do you need to call a doc??
    Idk. I've never had an official diagnosis of IBS, just symptoms of it off and on, and I'm thinking that after hours for the doctor's surgery, if 60mg of dihydrocodeine wouldn't make a dent - they're off and on, mostly on today - then there's not going to be much A&E could do for me, since they wouldn't give me anything stronger than morphine when I was having conscious seizures in there last time (and it was the damn morphine that caused them)! *sighs* Anyway, the oncoming migraine's more of an issue right this second. I don't need this now. *facepalm*

  • Trialia, I hope you're feeling a bit better this morning and you managed to get some sleep. Any chance you can get to the docs today - maybe no painkillers, but anti-spasmodics may be of some assistance. Do you still have an appendix??!

    bz, it's typical that I'm sure you're snoozing away whilst I am wide awake and knackered. Today was the first day this week that I didn't have to get up for one reason or another and I'm up *sigh*

    Still, I can get out early for the local papers and start looking for somewhere else to live. I think that's a definite decision now.

    No sleep yet :( the cramps have come back and a condition more personally girly is also flaring. What fun! And yeah, I still have my appendix, but the cramps aren't really in that area but all across. Been trying not to throw up for the last couple of hours, urgh. :P I'm going to try to get an appointment with my doctor when the surgery opens, at half-eight.

    Thanks for the good wishes, hon. I hope you find somewhere else to live soonish <3

  • Thank you. Hope you can get an appointment, even if it's an emergency one, it sounds like you really need to be seen. In the meantime, have a seat on a hot water bottle!
    Come back and let us know how you are, eh?

    Me, too! I may also have to change my GP in the near future - I really hope not, as my current one is the best I've ever had treating me, but I just moved out of their official practice area, so... we'll see. I hope I can keep her. *g*

    Thanks, hon. I'll come back and post later to let you know, and since I found my HWB while raiding my room to distract myself, that I can do!

    tria they argued that i didnt have appendicits because my pain had started over the appendix and not as general all over abdo pain so dont discount it. pain that bad is not good. good luck getting an appointment, and yes if they only have emergency appointments left you do need to take one so dont say no.

    kass thanks for letting us know how charlie got on, poor little mite. im also really glad he is now with you and will be cared for properly. enjoy having your neice over today too.

    bz hope this lot of ab's to the trick, its way past time you got rid of the infections.

    careful did you get anywhere with sorting the water bill problem yet? its alwasy days you dont have to get up that you wake up far to early, stinks in my opinion. sounds like your pharmacy are a whole level of imcompetent then. do you have to have them dispense or can you go elsewhere?
  • pcl, am going to send both waterboard and bailiff company a recorded template letter from here with landlord's address in Australia.
    It's more convenient for the pharmacy to dispense, but if a letter doesn't sort things out with them, then I'll make sure in future I pick up a prescription rather than the meds - they can always get the prescription wrong though!

    I've phoned a letting agent just now about a nice two-bed house that's only 5 mins away from Dad (given that I have to look after him more than his wife does *sigh*). It's £190 more a month than here, but I'm paying well below market rent at the moment. There are maybe two other places that might be suitable at a similar price.
    It's a real emotional hangup I have about a need for a secure, stable place to live. Where I am now I've lived for 7 years and it's probably the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my life, so I find moving very traumatic. Scary stuff.
