    On a thrifty note I am sure most of you prob get Martin's email but just in case anyone has missed it there is a family railcard promotion on whereby you can get one for free then purchase one for 50% off!! I have just applied for one and thought it might be of interest to someone here.

    Rusty - hope you've managed to see the dr today for some different pain killers

    Rainmac - so pleased for you that your mum has finished her treatment, the flowers are beautiful

    For anyone that does TAB bingo, there's a discussion on the DFW 'Make £10 a day' board, that winnings from free bingo are now paid as a bonus and are non withdrawable. Lets hope BP don't change their system :eek:

    Evening ladies, not much change here, well apart from the pain has worsened and has now spread down to my calf, so now my whole leg is painful! I haven't called the doctors today, I have however started on some co codamol last night which seem to be doing something as all of a sudden after a couple hours the pain comes back with avengeance so that would say they are good lol haven't had any ibruprofen today either just the co codamol.

    Rainmac - Fantastic news about your mum, really nice to hear how well she has done ;) must be a relief for you aswell. The flowers are beautiful :)

    Happy birthday to Sylphraven ;) Hope you have a fab day (I did leave a message on facebook for you this morning)

    Sorry to everyone else I can't remember half of the replies, I don't mean to be ignorant :rotfl:

    :bdaycake:Happy Birthday Sylphraven

    You must be a lovely taurean like me :D

    Choccy Thanks for your good wishes...I have had a bad day today but am feeling a bit better now....I even rang nhs direct to enquire about swine flu :o as I had been away in London at the weekend and spent a fair bit of time on the crowded tube, I thought it was worth checking, especialy as I spent the latter part of the weekend cuddling up to my new niece who is only 2 weeks old! anyway I have probably just picked something else up, but they did say that they are only checking on people who have been to mexico/usa or have been in contact with anyone with the virus (I am not really a hypercondriac (sp?) but I just thought I would check it out what with my littluns etc.)

    Rusty, glad your co-codamol are working, only problem I have is anything with codeine in sort of 'bungs me up' sorry for the tmi :o..

    Rainmac - Great news that your Mum has finished her treatment :j and the flowers are really special...

    Hope everyone is having a good evening, am waiting for dh to get out of the bath to make me some beans on toast (am a bit peckish now but can't face making them only eating them lol!!)

    Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes :) :beer:
    OH took me out for lunch & an afternoon of shopping, poor thing isnt used to a good shopping trip. Picked up some crafty items, couple of books, new pair of jeans & a few other lil bits n bobs. I have received 6 pink cards!! I think people are getting revenge for me being sarcastic as they know that I'm not keen on pink, lol. ANyone for some choccy cake?

    Orchid, I am a true tauren, I rarely read any descriptions of taurens without thinking its fairly accurate, though I'm sceptical of horoscopes in mags etc. Hope you have fun on your last night of being 39.

    Glad the tablets are working a bit more for you Rusty, & I did notice the message on facebook, tq :)

    Aghhhhhhh, I hope they dont do that with Bingoport as well Skiergirl.

    Thanks for the link Furry, I seem to be getting my mse email a day late, if it does arrive, shall have to look into it.

    Now the radiotherapys all over Rainmac, I hope that your Mum is fully recovered & has the best of health.

    Get a megaphone Mhagster, cant have you not being able to yell at the kids,lol, hope your throat improves.

    I dont use auctivia Paddington, I use this site to do the html & list multiple piccies for me in conjunction with photobucket, very easy to use.

    Lunar, your welcome here whenever you wanna join in :hello:

    Awww, Hayley, sure your new wires cheaper than a new laptop, & having a break from it is good for you, though I am very impressed with you typing all that on your phone! mine just annoys me when I try it, lol.

    YOu sound like your very busy Jordan, always nice to hear your plans.

    Choccy, you crazy lady, I keep finding b'day messages from you, lol.
    You cant take a step forward with both feet on the ground

    Not too busy, i should be doing a lot more lol.:rolleyes:
    Was meant to go to the gym tonight for a two week free trial but couldn't do it as mum has high bp and they want me to get tested too. So instead we did Rebbecca Wheatley's Fitness DVD and had chicken and pasta bake for dindins lol was yummy.

    Now i'm going to put some more ebay items online as i need to pay for my dresses and then some for this holiday i'm meant to be going away in a few months but it depends. :D

    Glad you had a good birthday sylphy:jI am off to do some ebay research and some other bits and bobs before i list my items properly, i've done mock ups of them but need pics etc.

    Hows everyone today?? Waiting for my ebay items to arrive, i'm SO excited :D

    Love and Hugs
    ..xx
    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A
