    piggers are you anaemic then?

    Dunno..but I usually vary between 10-12 so probably.. Not that it makes any difference because I can't take artificial iron as it makes me incredibly ill.. so I just get monitored.. if I can be bothered with the faff.

    Decluttered children to school and food down throat.. going to guzzle my cuppa then sort a B&Q shopping list.

    Pigpen do you drink alot of tea? My iron levels like to drop every so often and I was told by the nurse that i drink far too much tea and it stops the iron being taken in properly but i would drink 10 cups in a day no problem.:o
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Thanks for all you birthday messages! And the cakes......mmmmmmm, cake *drool*

    Well, wrapping paper has been decluttered, along with envelopes and I now have a nice collection of cards and pressies on my bedside table:T. Am wearing my new Team Jasper shirt (I'm a twilight fan *hangs head in shame* I just love alice and jasper).

    Am going out shortly to pick up a missed 'packet' at the royal mail depot, if we can find it, then into Town for comics and lunch, maybe. Pub quiz tonight:j!

    Flying today will mostly consist of ordering oh to do stuff, well, its only once a year:p

    Happy birthday to any other fab peoples, and hugs to those not feeling so great, whatever the reason!
