    so far today i have electrocuted myself and spilled acid over my legs. Both through my own stupidity.

    "Thiiiinnnnggggs can only get bettttteeeerrrrrr"

    Its only the fact we have just had our electrics updated with RCDs that means I didn't do myself proper damage.

    Oh and the sofa covers have gone a comedy cerise colour.

    What exactly have you been up to? :confused:

    And can you change your colour scheme to work with the cerise (what colour was it supposed to be)?

    I can't find the ISA transfer form on my bank website, and I have one last ISA that I need to move :mad:

    I nearly filled in the passport renewal form, but have decided to wait until I get back as I'm terrified that they'll cancel the current one while I'm away if I fill it in online!

    Suffering from severe attack of CBA at the moment, but I really must get on and get myself sorted for tomorrow...

    thanks kazm i didn't know you had it. I certainly have some wheat/yeast intolerance and don't eat bread or pasta at all as I get so bloated and windy and uncomfortable/in pain, but i'd never considered it actually being coeliac until I happened to mention to the dietician that I avoided wheat and she jumped on it!! Hopefully as you say it won't be that!! I had always thought it was super severe and therefore I didn't have it, but now I udnerstand it can be more mild
    Mine was diagnosed after years and years of anaemia when finally 1 GP decided to try and find the cause rather than just treat it, but other than that I had no symptoms, just was very thin due to malabsorbtion. Its surprising how many things gluten is hidden in and thats what I struggle with. Have you jkust had the blood test at this stage or the biopsy?

    Evening all

    Coursework all check, one feedback (History) given but not the other (English) as he is learning SURDS - that is so outside of my radar. He is struggling and decided that teaching me how to do it would help him, right good luck with that!

    Off to watch UB now. I could do the ironing whilst watching but I think I'll have a glass of wine instead.

    Grateful - hope you are ok sweetie
    Rach - hugs for you
    Frodders - hugs for you
    Sexy - hope your return to school was ok

    It's a pity it took so long for you kazm - as far as I was aware (based on overhearing stuff at home, obviously) anaemia is a pretty common indicator.

    Rach - just out of interest, are you shorter than the rest of your family or did you stop growing earlier than normal?

    Right... I really MUST go and do something!

    I had anaemia from the age of 15 - diagnosed when I was 35 and my HB was down to 6.9 instead of somewhere between 12 - 14 :eek:.

    But enough of that go do something :rotfl:

    Wel my hip has given up working.. I jarred it getting some stuff out of the car (bag of christmas beads and baubles so not heavy) and I can barely walk now and am in absolute agony. In fact drugs may well be called for.

    Girls threatened with being sent to dogs home, charity shop and heaven if they didn't go to sleep. They are being absolute barstewards at bedtime lately!

    OH erecting drawers for DD2.. :D... and I'm making him a cuppa.. can you tell?

    Kaz.. I may love you lol... :D

So i can safely say that level one has been achieved today (even pulled the computer out) Thanks for all the encouragement.
