    Am wearing a sweatshirt and a thick fleece gilet and it is still cold - may put the heater on again in a little while:rolleyes:

    I have a feeling that the guineapig rescue by the M54 was a fake - there has been no mention of it in local shropshire papers, the beeb or anything else.

    Oh I have news..I have been asked to enter my business to win a start up business award with Women on Their Way:cool: Have booked a couple of free courses with businesslink too - one is very apt, Marketing & PR on a shoestring budget:D

    The christmas tree was put up today, I even dusted:eek: - well I could see the dust and could write my name in it:eek:. My tree looks quite pretty - I have gone for the less is more look and this year have put my best baubles on it including the vintage ones that I got from freecycle and the one my mum made for me and the 3 that I bought at the German market this year.

    Were you still eating all the foods that could have caused a problem when you had the tests?

    The morons tested me for coeliac and said negative but since another med professional has told me that you have to be eating gluten regularly leading up to the test for it to show - well I'd been off it four months already as they knew :rolleyes:

    Hi G

    I was "exposing myself" to a little bit when the bloods were taken but not to the same quantities as previously so take your point about coeliac - however my mum also has similar and hasn;t changed her diet - she also came back negative. :confused::confused:

    Gorgeous sunny day again today but no melting going on - Still covered in snow here - car needs digging out (but I won;t be doing that til tomorrow :D)

    And the postman this morning has trashed my pristine white front drive which hasn;t had a footprint on it for 24 hours (Looks like he has a wooden leg from the dragging/skid marks :rotfl:)

    Been holed up all yesterday with Mount Kilimanjironing and Harry Potter - Base camp 4 now reached :j....Christmas tree brought in from the cold and now needs to be put up

    Shower unit behaving :T............as is Beechies bottom ;).....but my fuel bills certainly won;t be - still hasn;t risen above freezing here and both the house and Piggie Palace have been on 24/7 since tuesday :eek::eek:....

    M54 isn;t a fake :(- RSPCA have been in contact and apparently been mounting regularly forays and have seen at least three other piggies but not in the last two weeks. None caught as yet - Hopefully they are in an old burrow somewhere keeping warm and that this will have a happy ending for some - more people up there this weekend with traps etc.

    Right - time now for more Harry Potter and a last ditch attempt to reach the summit :rotfl::rotfl:
