Morning all,

Rose - the doctor told me to take extra precautions for the whole course of the AB's and for 7 days after. Definitely get a test, particularly as you've been feeling nauseous recently. Fingers crossed that the result is the right one for you both.

Sunnygirl that kitten is really cute. Makes me wish my furbaby were small again, although he has been very affectionate and been looking after me since I've been off ill. He's completely black, but in the sunshine you can see the stripes on his forehead too.

xxJoxx - glad to hear your little one had such a good birthday. Hope things settle down with the ex. PM me if you want to.

Triker I'm glad to hear that your blood results were promising.

Sorry to hear that your blood results weren't good pigpen. Hope you're on the mend soon. Pleased that you hug your OH frequently.

Serena - hope the weather is nice on your day out.

Good news is that both my charity bags were picked up yesterday, so a little bit of clutter gone. My wardrobe doesn't seem much clearer though. I'm airing the bedroom again now that OH has gone to work (he doesn't like it when I open the windows as he gets cold) as although I had a reasonable night's sleep last night (took paracetamol before bed for the temp and slept sitting up against the headboard), I want to try and freeze any bugs out of the room. I may go around with the hoover later, although lots of things are setting my cough off at the moment, so may put it off til I'm better, or make OH do it when I'm not in the room.

Well I'm off to find some breakfast before my friend calls (not sure what time she's calling, so better not have my mouth full of cereal) - suppose I'd better get dressed too so I don't get cold sitting still.

Hugs to all,

sexymouse xx

off to catch up.

Pigpen sorry you are feeling so down and that your blood tests aren’t looking too good

Thanks everyone for your comments on AB’s - I guess I’d better get a test. I’m not worrying about it, if it’s happened, it’s happened.

Triker glad your results were good

Hugs Jo xx

Toots, you are right about having help to sort the place out, I have been listening to you, it just takes me a while to get my head round new ideas

Embb glad you’ve got a current account, well done!

Jinks are you alright?

The annoying thing is that she did check that the AB's would be ok with the pill I'm on, but when I had to go back two days later, I mentioned that I'd had diarrhea and neither of us thought about the effects it may have on the pill. I really wish I'd thought to ask. Anyway, not going to worry, will pop down to the village tmrw and get a test.

I got up early today (well early for me!) and have walked down to the post box and back. I was planning a slightly longer walk but DH warned me not to overdo it as I'm determined to go to our Bible meeting this evening.
Going to find DH's work diary in a mo and do some of his accounts. Also need to do some of my own work online. And wash up and a few other bits and bobs. I've cleaned the window sill by the bathroom sink, need to clean the sink as well later.

I hate to worry you but even taking AB's can affect the pill, Ds2 is here because of them. I had an absess on my tooth and was taking AB's, Neveah told me to be careful because they affected the pill, i told OH just before who said " what does she know, it'll be ok ". :cool:

Ha ha when his mental control had switched from his brain to somewhere else?!:rotfl:

I'm not worn out.. I just got some blood results back and they aren't looking pretty..

Bad news, hope doc gets it sorted.

triker do you have Lyme's ? Was it from a tick? My uncle has that.

eta rosepink I think you would make a fabby mummy, and DH may surprise you with how good he is.

He will make a brilliant Dad, he's lovely with kids, he really loves them. Thanks, I hope I would be a good mum, I've always wanted to have babies! It's just that at the moment, we can barely pay our bills and want to be a bit more sorted financially before we start a family. We were joking a couple of months ago (when someone asked us if we were going to have kids) that I'd have to spend the day holdng the baby over the loo as we wouldn't be able to afford nappies for it!
Anyway, enough of this, I'm sure I'm not preggers, and I'm going to stop talking about it until I know either way.

Going to go and do some work now, see you later xx
