went for the allergy testing clinic, took my chicken tikka ingredients, and tic tacs, still waiting for Mr T to get back to me with the bread ingredients.

The doc thinks it could be a chemical reaction as the food is one extreme to another, so he sent me up to the hospital for blood tests - they had 2 vials...... apparently be 3 weeks or so for the results as the blood has to be sent to Wolverhampton for indepth testing, he's put some herbs down on the to be tested list, but give him his due he said that the letter they write to the GP, they also send me a copy. So its wait and see........ But apparently my naproxen and morphine can desentisitve the body, that might help explain, he's suggested avoiding any curry dish.

Got my paperwork through from OU for my resubmission of my assisgnment, - thats a can of worms - they want £91 to remark the new assisgnment. but then the course was £360 so in comparison I guess its fair, but the OU in their wisdom class a resit as the full points, and as I'm already over my points I have to ring and beg to re-do it. Just wait till next week.

Can't believe how this holiday has flown past so quick, so many plans and nothing gets done. takng dd to get her feet measured 2mor, she said her shoes are tight... then a quiet day. xx

I nearly had a heart attack. just opened by bank statement for A+L, and how I don't know but my account went overdrawn by 1p, - so they have charged £25.00 for the pleasure of paying that cheque, (this was back in Nov), and £5.00 a day daily charge - so on 12th jan they wanted £125.00, and in Feb - so far another £50, - just ramg them it was the way I wrote the cheque, done it for £20.98, but they have cashed it as £28.99, apparently it was what it looked like...... but good news - as a good will gesture, if I would be prepared to pay the £25.00 chq fee in by Tuesday, then they will take all the charges off the account...... I burst into tears , the poor lad didn't know what to do..... just once a miracle happened, they were so nice about it,guessing that if it did go further they would have to produce the cheque, and the writing would of been spelt as £20.98, so they wouldn't of been aboe to of got away with it, but never mind. I'm just so plzed.

My 2nd batch of good news, the insurance company have finally paid up from not going on holday in July, - taken since Aug to get it sorted, the general claim form and one filled in from gp, then they wanted more info, they were trying to wriggle out based on the fact that the accident when I bashed my knee after slipping wet toilet floor was in May, didn't cancel the hol till July, in all honestly I was under physio, so never took a 2nd thought as to I wouldn't be able to go, then another letter from the GP, still not good enough for the insurance company, - then letter no2 from the GP, very strongly worded, posted it special delievery - so they couldn't argue and the cheque arrived this morning, - which go in bank Tues, should clear by Friday and then can pay Dom Rep - it was originally from compo money from falling on bag of sugar in Mr m. I wouldn't of claimed even thou I damaged hip, neck, shoulder etc. but the cashier said - oh yes I saw it but I couldn't be bothered to clear it up..... too late when i was hanging onto the convevoyer belt as such an angle and was 6in off being flat on the floor.
My GP was brilliant, the form to be filled in was £15 standard fee, but he didn't charge me for the letters.

They say everything comes in 3s..... just waiting for good news no 3.

Beat the debt - I keep really awful hrs at the mo, for some reason my body clock just doesn't like bedtime till 3am, but I can't get up in the morning, or have to go back for 40 winks, it triggered off when I got the court letter from ex -- my GP gave me a months supply of sleeping tablets - didn't want them but as there a last resort, and if I can get a month of good sleep the body should re-adjust - trouble is they knock me out in the morning, even if I took them at 6pm - they don't kick to about 3am....xx

That's a great lot you've done off the list...great news on holiday refund as well and getting the charges dropped.

On the allergy testing ..it was naproxen that caused my anaphylactic shock ...as every allergy test came back as anegative.There is no test for naproxen but I'm not allowed those or any anti inflammatories.
