    I'm back from the hospital. It was all a bit of a nightmare - I had to wait over an hour and then she had trouble getting the blood out and ended up hurting me a bit :(. Shook me up a bit so I took myself for a coffee and cake, had a little cry whilst I was there. Not sure what's wrong with me at the moment; everything seems to really get to me! I guess there's a fair bit going on with my issues at work, DH's exams looming etc. Not a patch on what a lot of you are dealing with I know!
    Hi rach honey - dont knock what you went through - its all relative - getting blood taken can be quite a traumatic experience - I have been there too! Its a shame the nurse hurt you but I am so delighted you gave yourself the correct medicine - cake:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: its good you dont have to go back to work you can chill a bit this afternoon and evening. I hope the blood tests give the doctors some indication of whats troubling you and get you back on top form - preferably in time for your new job!!!!
    love n hugs

    The address is in the small print on the form, found an envelope too, and I'm just about to write it all out and seal it. :T

    I know it's only a small thing but to me it's mega, I'm irritated every time I phone up to pay my rent a: by her annoying voice, and B: at myself for not filling in the form I've had for months :o will post it tomorrow.

    Crafty you inspired me... thanks :cool:

    How you feeling, Toots?

    T-gel shampoo for OH with poorly scalp

    Afternoon again all,

    Just had a lovely chat and tea with LadyLiberty - thanks for the biscuits, and hope that you hear the results of your tests soon. Keeping my fingers, toes and everything I can crossed for you! You know where I am if ever you need anything!

    Glad your treatment is going well toots - only 2 left to go! Yay! We've all been thinking of you, and your name did come up at the meet too!

    I managed to get all of the washing up done before LadyL arrived, and also wiped over the hob and sides, so have done a few things off the kitchen list. As the rain seems to have eased off a little, I'm going to rush out to the TD in a minute (once I've put a load of clean washing away to free up the basket), then I'm going to find and update my list.

    Hugs to rach, and well done for being brave when the nurse couldn't get the blood. I hope that they find out what's wrong soon and are able to help you. Glad the talk with the nice manager went well, and that you don't have to see the nasty one for a bit too. I use this for our stained cups (got it on QVC a while back) and it works really well, as OH uses his cups over and over and the stain builds up during the day.

    Off to sort out that washing.
