    Today, I will also take my Very stuff to the Post Office to be returned.
    I a big debate with myself whether or not to take those shoes back to next or not. I do like them. I will wear them over the summer.. but do I like them that much? And how much will I wear them? £36 worth? Dunno :I-miss-the-shoulder-shrugging-smiley:

    Hi Laura,

    Well done on controlling the spends on a new outfit - I'm not sure I would have been so sensible!! Any luck with getting a docs appt?
    Thank you for asking, my appointment is not until 3.40, so I should be able to update later.

    I am 100% certain I have IBS. My symptoms are classic IBS, my only concern is that it could be coeliacs disease and that would mean a major lifestyle change, rather than just a bit of lifestyle tweaking to deal with IBS. *sigh* If it's not coeliacs diseas (gluten allergy) then wheat is definitely one of my triggers so possibly I'm just intolerent rather than allergic. Anyway, I must stop self-diagnosing and wait and see what the doc thinks :)

    And as for controlling the spending- it wasn't entirely by choice! I just got to a point where if I had gone into one more shop and tried on one more outfit which looked carp then I would have cried! It seemed much more sensible to wear the dress I only bought a few weeks ago, and spend £59 on and have worn once. But at least now I have a little 'spare' cash i can blow on some fancy makeup! :p

    Right- I am back from the doctors and I'm not going bonkers! He thinks I probably do habe IBS. He is going to do blood tests to be sure it's not coeliac disease or inflammatory bowel disease and I have to bring him a food diary to try to figure out triggers but basically, it is probably IBS.
    So, food diary from tomorrow!
