MF by the time I'm 50?

That's great news! And now I'm dreaming of holidays.........think I might need OH to confiscate my laptop so I can't look. Good luck at the doctors, being in the office when you feel rubbish is ....well rubbish!

Ah yes, just remembered I need to save for DD's birthday party d'oh! £82.50 - but will have everything in the account by mid-month as - taa daa - called the nursery head office this morning to complain that my 3 requests to the actual nursery have not yet resulted in any deposit / credit note refund and the woman I spoke to was initially a bit snotty but when I told her DD's name, she changed her tune and has told me that a cheque for £100 is on its way to the nursery (not sure why, but will be calling the nursery to get them to let me know the moment they receive it, with all the post strikes, I want my money asap, not languishing in the system somewhere), and she is going to raise a cheque for the day's credit today. At long last! I was beginning to despair...

Anyway, in exciting news, I have moved 18p over to the pot as current account interest and have the grand sum of 75p on its way from Qu!dco, so I'll have hit my targets before I know it

My lurverly new saucepans have arrived already! What a bonus it is to be sat around at home - I'm feeling guilty now, feel like I should be doing *something* but then again, driving DD to school this morning (would normally walk but didn't want to kn*cker myself out in case it's too far to go there and back at the moment, lol) hurt my back, so have been taking it nice and easy (aka daytime rubbish telly and internet) from the comfort of the sofa.

Hope my new duvets come soon - I'm hoping someone at work who helps out at a monkey sanctuary will probably be pleased to get our castoffs as the poor monkeys like to cuddle up in the winter as we all do

Have moved £10.75 into the savings pot - Qu*dco 75p and £10 worth of 50ps in my not so sealed pot

Need far less for the holidays/DD's birthday party fund now but can't be bothered to work it out.

Am awake at stupid o'clock as DD and I went up to my bed last night at 7ish and both eventually went to sleep. My back was killing me yesterday, think seeing the osteopath had something to do with it.....and the wonder painkillers didn't really do the trick. I woke up a while back, came downstairs for more drugs and got sucked in to this site, the twilight zone if you will

I think I let my base level of codeine slip a bit over the last couple of days, or am doing too much now we're back on our own at home Can't bear to think of being in pain for another 6-8 weeks though!! The osteopath told me that this is the minimum length of time I've got to take it easy for

Driving to the next village to see her wiped me out back-wise, good job I'm off sick this week. Not sure how I'll manage next week when I could/should be back at work! *sigh*

Right, must stop whining and go back upstairs to give DD a sleepy cuddle I think!

Oh poor you, sounds rubbish The day after the osteopath is always worst as everything is tender so hopefully it will get better. My doctor recommended taking codine, paracetamol and ibuprofen together to kill the pain - apparently as they are different drugs they can be taken together but you do need to watch that your codine tablets don't already contain paracetamol. It made me feel a bit yucky but it did dull the pain. The other thing that did work was cold compresses but the pain I had was more muscular so not sure if this would work for you.

Hope you're feeling better today

Hope you don't mind me correcting but when your doc says you can take the tablets together, I don't think they mean at the same time. My doctor told me you can take paracetamol every 4 hours and ibuprofen every four but take them two hours apart eg, at 0800 2 x paracetamol, 10.00 2 x ibuprofen, 1200 2 x paracetamol etc so you keep your pain under control as you get pain relief every two hours.
Taking them all together might be why you felt a bit icky!
Hope this helps!

I'm on paracetamol/codeine mix and then bump up a couple of hours later with some ibuprofen if I feel I need it. Feeling a bit better now, took DD to school, only forgetting one thing (grrr) and am chilling out on the sofa

Hope your back gets better soon
