    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:mad:
    Well, lots of phone calls later...to GPs, MRI dept and gastro dept, I find out that the radiologist cancelled my scan, said I need to see my Gastroenterologist doc 1st - my GP hadn't heard about this tho:confused: I ring Gastro doc, they've not received the request from my doc from yesterday yet (I asked to be referred to my gastro doc as not seen him in ages) - so finally I get the GP to fax gastro doc with my urgent request and they'll get me in to see him asap next week.

    It's all mad - they're all hopeless!! But....I think I've got the best solution in the end - I wondered why i was having a scan anyway, they say it's the Crohn's, I know I have Crohn's - don't need a scan to prove it! I always just wanted to get to hospital andsee the Gastroenterologist, as he's the one that's always fixed me!!!:p

    COnfused?:confused: I am....!! But hopefully I'll see him ext week, and with more steroids in me, I'll be feeling a lot better.

    God, could do without all that tho - I need a lie down now....;)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Good for you putting your foot down and demanding answers. Just imagine if you weren't the sort of person to do that, how long would a person be expected to wait.

    My to do list isn't getting much shorter either and am trying to get as much done as i can before going away tomorrow. Am resigning myself to the fact that i need to prioritise and get the work completed that is the most important, the garden will have to wait! Family won't be pleased though as i am bringing a load of work back with me.

    Have been tied up with massage business today though, with more enquiries and anothe pamper party booking. People must be getting more money:D

    This is the site I made for him back in 2001!!! Man I loved/love him. Please note before you click thru to view that its an old site made on a freebie so a few adds pop up. Its also so long since I did it that I cant remember how to get in and edit it all now LOL Bless him for finally getting his own official site last year. Been a great day at work as sat most of the afternoon watching you tube versions of animal progs :rotfl:

    Evening All,

    Sophiesmum – wondered what had happened to you, hope you are ok. If you need me to do the thread at anytime, PM me as I am always up early.

    Millyscarlet – hope you feel better soon

    Urg – hope your back feels better soon

    Hampsterpoo and Lillian 1977 – congrats on the debt paying offness

    Dawnw – good luck with the scary application

    Andan – how can you do a massive list every day? Hope you have a good Easter

    Cleosmum – hope the funeral went as well as could be expected



    Yay, its Thursday (I’ve got the Friday feeling), I am no longer at work! (I feel really relieved)

    I wrote this list before going to work this morning!

    Today I have/will
    • Searched for jobs online
    • Phone agencies to chase up emails sent earlier this week
    • Checked online banking, and moved money to higher interest rated account
    • Will check on ISA – I might need the money if I can not find a job
    • Do as much as humanly possible at work today (I really feel sorry for the guy taking over from me)
    • Print off wage slips from my last job and find recent pay slips to sort out my tax (I am currently on BR tax code)
    • Make lunch
    • Have my hair cut – I’ve not had it done for such a long time, and it is only £15
    • Daily scratch card – 10p
    • Retail eyes have sent a payment – will keep an eye out for it
    • Look for another MS job
    • Check if our syndicate won any money on last night lottery
    • Enter online comps
    • Will have dinner at home rather than going for a curry in town (Wetherspoons)

    Think that is about it on the MSE front, really quick question about veggies: I have the following veg which has grown to be really big, when can I plant them out into the garden?
    • Courgettes
    • Beans
    • Peas
    • Radishes
    • Sprouts

    Any advice would be welcomed.

    Take care,
    Candy xxx
