    Hi all:j:j
    Well i can not belive that i only had to wait 5mins before i went in to see my consultant.:T:T its the qickest that iv ever been.

    Anyway my consultant was pleased with my scans. The tumor has not changes much so he wont be giving me any treatment for it just yet.
    But he thinks that iv been haveing Temporal lobe seizures.:eek:
    So he is going to book me in for a EEG to cheak. And he wonts to see me in three months time to chat about what the EEG says.
    and thats about it really.

    So not too bad all in all.

    All the best everyone:j:j
    :jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j

    Morning all!

    Happy anniversary sister cas, hope your meal is delicious tonight x

    Catznine and niclou - hope your dd's are better soon and to anyone else with the dreaded piggy flu, get well soon x

    Halight - I hope that it goes well this morning x

    N9eav - we too are inundated with holiday makers, anything to do indoors is horribly busy here at the mo, and it's absolutely chucking it down today so I think me and the kids will just stay at home!

    Redruby - hope that one of the houses turns out to be your dream home x

    Well wet and wild here today, going to have a day pottering indoors I think. House isn't looking too bad, will get kids to do their rooms, as far easier if they keep on top of things after the palaver getting them to tidy them in the first place! I shall have a S&S round the kitchen and bathrooms and do some hoovering and mopping.

    Lunch will be pasta, as have some leftovers from last night! Dinner will be burgers and wedges and salad, will make some rolls in a bit!

    Work was miserable last night, everyone seems so down, which just makes it all worse! Still at least I have a job - small blessing to count! In again tonight, and have warned dd3 that if she wakes me early again tomorrow then I won't be responsible for my actions - how come she decides to wake up early this week, she never ever gets up early!

    Have a good day all xx

    Morning all,

    Happy anniversary to the Sistercases(??), have a good day.

    Windy here but not too cold, no rain yet but at this stage I expect it every day. Have some clothes to check that I left on line last night, more to go out when they come in.

    Get well soon to all suffering from swine flu, still not many cases here but we are warned that it is only a matter of time, so lots of paracetemol, lemons and honey in store to be prepared.

    Halight....that seems to be good news from your consultant, hope that scan will help to find solution to your headaches.

    We have had to separate the kittens....Sile has come into oestrus and we really do not want incest....very difficult as with the grandchildren here the doors in the house are never closed....getting fit in the process of chasing one or other of them!

    Doing beef stir-fry for dinner to-night, have peppers, onions, garlic, carrots and turnips so think that should be enough, not anxious to buy any more than I absolutely need, seem to have lost track a bit last month, not keen to do the same this month.

    DD4 still not got her keys, so is starting to get a bit anxious...she was hoping to move in and be all sorted before school starts at end of August and has nowhere to store large furniture if she buys any so is caught between a rock and a hard place at the moment.

    Hugs to all in need or want, congratulations to all who are celebrating,

    Hello all!!

    Should have done that washing yesterday as it is yukky weather here today!! But, now load is full and needs doing so have bunged it in with hopes it will get nicer later!!

    Contemplating making my own rolls for going away with on Friday - I've got the flour with bits in, could I out some oats on top of each roll to make them look like the posh ones in the supermarket that they want in excess of £1 for 3 for??

    Tea tonight is left over roast from sunday either as a roast or curried..... Probably roasted.....

    Glad all was well at Hosp halight
    Redruby we secured the deal on our house at the weekend - hope your house hunting was as successful as ours - both parties not in a chain so we should eb moving quitew quickly (everything crossed)

    Owl - congrats on your house, and yes you can just sprinkle oats on your rolls - you can put some in the mix too for a slightly softer taste ifykwim?!

    Marie - hope your dd gets her keys soon! Will you be turning into Bethebee and whizzing about decorating and rebuilding and all sorts?! btw how is Beth, have I missed her or has she not been around?

    dd3 has decided we are making fudge today from a recipe in a fairy cooking book she has! So off we trotted to buy marshmallows, as my secret stash in the cupboard seems to have been discovered and eaten! Anyhoo, having been reading Gill Holcombe and another budgeting book we went armed with a list, and reader, we only bought the stuff on the list! Also whizzed into Lidl's to grab some of their mozzarella as it's 27p at the mo, and it can be frozen, we use lots on pizzas! Thanks to the gc people who mentioned it! Whilst in Lidl's we grabbed a few other bits off our list as they were far cheaper - dd then did price comparison as we went round Mr T's and has decided that I'm not insane for shopping around as the amount we saved on a tiny shop was quite considerable!

    Plums were 29p v 89p
    Branston beans £1 for 4 pack v £2.36 or 2 for £3
    mozzarella 27p v 74p
    red peppers 20p each v 60p each or 2 for £1
    aubergine 39p v £1.13 per lb (so about 90p)
    icing sugar 75p v 94p

    Bought 15 packs of mozzarella, bunged all but 4 in freezer, and bought 7 red peppers, some will go on pizzas, some as snacks and will prob take a couple round to oh's and fill with toms, garlic, basil and olive oil, bake and have as a snack with french bread and a baked camembert.

    Feeling very please and virtuous now! Right fudge making calls - well dd3 is yelling actually.......

    Afternoon all.

    Happy Anniversary Mr & Mrs Sistercas.

    Congratulations on finalising the house deal Owl.

    Soggy day today - and I have a soggy Molly-Dog to prove it! Not that she minds the wet; she'd go in the brook if I let her!:eek:

    Her tennis ball disintegrated yesterday, so that meant Mr LW and me doing a quick dash to Pets At Home for replacements. Well, she'd be so disappointed if she didn't get her game of Fetch the Ball.:D

    Spiders seem to be on overtime at the moment - I found no end of very fine webs in the bathroom that weren't there yesterday. Haven't they ever heard of planning permission?:D

    I hope everyone's having a reasonable day, horrible weather notwithstanding, and those with piggy flu are starting to feel better.

    ((((HUGS)))) to all who want/need one today.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Well, my children came home and it was so lovely to have them back. House looks like a bomb has hit it, and I have dirty washing galore, but I don't care!!

    Cat has had yet another operation today, they managed to leave a root in when they took all her teeth out a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully this will finally put an end to all her mouth problems and she'll be able to eat normally.

    Halight - glad consultants appointment went well.

    Mummysaver - yum, fudge, can I come to yours?!! :D

    N9eav - know exactly where you are coming from about trying to get a half day and something coming in. Same thing happens to me all the time.

    No idea what is for tea, possibly quorn spag bol. Need to get the kids to start tidying all the "stuff" they have so considerately unpacked and left lying around! :rolleyes:

    Hi everyone
    Well very wet and windy here in Cheltenham today, even gone mad and paid for my 3 dongle to connect, tried going out this morning but got soaked just getting from PC World door to car. Typical August weather looks like October or December, but is warmer.

    :hello: to all newbies. and :wave: to all

    Definitely looks like the DIY wore H-J out :rotfl: ;)

    No fun sightseeing in this weather, so having a lazy day reading, and surfing. Too we to BBQ so will see what I can throw together in here.

    Take care - DG
