    Thanks everyone....I really don't know how I feel at the moment except that I'm in a sorting things out and needing to know what to do in the worst case scenario mode.
    Have remembered that we have critical illness cover as well....so worst comes to worst thats some finances sorted.....
    DHs said I am not allowed to worry or go to work if worst comes to worst but with all fingers crossed etc etc I'm hoping for good result and life will carry on and I'll change my ways..lol...
    It takes stuff like this to make me rejig things .


    Thanks everyone for being here as don't know where I'd be without you lot xxx

    *Saunters in carrying a shamrock with the look of a Pickle who has just been away for a few days*

    Why hello Taxi! :D I picked this up on my travels. *Hands over shamrock* I was thinking of you while I was away. At least it's one more day down until the results cos waiting is horrible.

    *Gives Taxi a big vinegary kiss*

    TTFN! x

    Am fine thanks...no point in worrying as what will be will be and will be dealt with accordingly at that time.
    Didn't sleep well last night but am feeling quite calm at the moment.
    The money I took so that the bills are definitely covered has arrived in my account today.
    I had a drive to the farms armed with my cool box with the frozen blocks in and picked up loads of packs of gloucesthershire old spot sausages reduced to £1 per pack..I have a few different varieties as well such as wild mushroom and garlic,black pepper,chilli,pork,etc etc also picked up a leg of lamb,bacon,some pies and other stuff...then had a stem ginger ice cream....then had a wander around their farm shop and their garden centre....
    Then went to the next farm and bought my organic free range eggs, a litre tub of organic honey buzz ice creamand some scrummy biscuits reduced to 99p....
    Then onto the next farm where I picked my potatoes up....
    Am happy to drive out to get them as they are only about 15 miles away and i am supporting local businesses and know where everything has been slaughtered and reared.


    I am going to try and grow some organic vegetables and fruit in my garden this year(well tubs as it's only a yard...lol).

    Tomorrow is DHs day off so I'll let him have a lie in and he was saying that we may go out somewhere nice for lunch....and then we have archery tomorrow night.

    I'm going to have a fun weekend with JJ this weekend.....he's staying from friday night until sunday tea time....we are going to the farm,the play barn...and maybe a country house...he doesn't know where we are going yet ..he's excited thinking he's going to the park and said that he's really excited to be staying at Grandmas....he says the nicest things and I can't wait for some big cuddles from him....he always gives me lovely cuddles.

    So this will get me motivated to get off my backside and clean/tidy the house before friday teatime.
    Think that's about it for now.
