    evening all!!:j
    Morning all:D
    (I've looked up 'pelvic scan' on google - am not looking forward to it:rolleyes: )
    I had one a few years ago, exactly the same things you have been describing, they did the pelvic scan like a pregnancy scan but then they used a camera internally as well, a bit strange but fine!! in the end i was diagnosed with IBS but to dairy products!!

    hope everyone is ok!! failed at my NSD but it was a for a good cause as i bought a huge chocolate cake for one of the girls who is leaving work!!

    So far i ahve done
    daily scratch cards/clicks
    moved the last remaining pennies from account to debt account! managed £40 left over this month
    doing the washing now on 30 and heating is back off again!!

    anyway better go, pizza in the oven

    I feel for you - I really want to buy tickets for U2 when they go to Cardiff in August, haven't even had the courage to find out how much they are.

    Change of plan, I am going down with another cold so don't think I will make it to work tomorrow so tomorrow will tackle all the essentials and ONLY the essentials that I am not going to be able to complete today.

    SM: Thanks, piggy bit sleepy but when wants can move really fast, check up on Friday so think that he can move residence over the weekend if all clear.
    Nutmeg :love: Ginger

  • coins in piggy as well tonight - more dotty potty lovely cash

    store cupboard tea with wonderful two egg lovley cheesey pasta -
    very dfw -
    1 250g packet hot pasta cooked and just drained
    - put off the stove, return pasta pot to stove (now off)
    - add 2-3oz cheese and two beaten eggs, stirring until its all melted and til glossy
    - and lovely and shiney sauce appears as if by magic (!)
    - kids love it and a sneaky way to get some egg into them.

    my pal taught it to me when kidlets were little and they still love it - nutthead calls it shiney pasta cheesy loveliness.

    Need to do some sums tonight - pretty unsure about the lodger bloke coming - tbh not sure I want him to come now its all a bit odd.

    Will have a think, its not like I will never rent the room, but I also have a few pals coming over the summer for a couple weeks here and there and its lovely to just have the space to enjoy folk (and they help and bring food so its kinda like renting it - sort of - ahem)

    waves to all - doing some work tonight on computer so will lurk about the place creating mischeif..................

    Hey everyone, I was a naughty DFW today. I've coveted a gorgous red dotty Cath Kidston bathmat for the last couple of years. Anyway, today I saw it in TK Maxx for £7.82! I had to have it ...... it was £28 originally:eek: So I feel naughty, but very pleased with myself.

    1) Scratch x 10p
    2) Checked banking
    3) Went to work
    4) Bought a clearance NO7 exfoliator for £3,80 and got a £10 NO7 face powder free. :j I told the lady in front of me in the queue who was buying something NO7 that she could get a free powder, and she said 'thanks, but I can't be bothered" !!!!!!!:rolleyes:
    5) Gave Mum her bday present, and she was very pleased.
    6) B called me from school, asking if I could go and buy her some cat ears for a dance she is doing tonight! I said no way was I going out to buy them for a two minute dance, and on such short notice, so I cobbled some together with felt for free.
    7) Did two surveys. Also got picked to trial a food product, which will come tomorrow.

    Can't think of much else. Have a good evening,

    Hiya,
    I already have Crohn's disease, this doesn't feel anything like the Crohn's pains but you never know. Doc said it could be ovaries....nice;) It's not as painful at all today, but I'll be releived to get the scan done, see what's going on (even if the internal one does sound a bit funny!!:p )

    Thanks for replying:D
    I really need to sort out a new signature!
