It's STILL tough and not getting better - so how are we coping?

Lambanana - I do hope the IVA works for you, my cousin had a little boy by it years ago - 1 try worked - so you never know. Then it kick started his wifes system and she had twins naturally. Just thought a positive story might help. And cricket obviously understands how you feel so its good to have an understanding friend.

Cricket I sympathise with the shoulder, Im in agony with frozen shoulder aided and abetted with a broken collar bone. It doesnt help when you are struggling with life and get an injury on top does it. Its always when you are fired up - like your swimming- then something stops you in your tracks. Hope its better soon hugs to all ginny

Thanks ginnyknit! Annoyingly it's hubby's system as much as mine that is the problem and they can't kick start his BUT we're going to use natural supplements and diet to attempt to at least help before the treatment starts. It's very strange to think of (and makes me angry for all the hormones I took to prevent it for years before we were married) but I suppose these things happen and you have to find ways to deal with it.

Thanks everyone who responded, I just had to get it out and really didn't know where to complain about it

In other news I get paid on Monday and I can't wait, I'm absolutely skint :eek: I saw these all in one giant baby grow type fleece PJs in Primark and was seriously considering a pair for winter (to save on heating) but I'm not sure...

Those adult babygro's sound good Dh looked at them yesterday. I just hope the locals don't go to Tesco's in them like they do their PJ's :rotfl:

Feel free to talk about it on here, it does help and everyone is so supportive as I have found out. They send hugs when you need them and cheer along with you when you have a triumph.

Tiger bread has a coating of peanut oil on it, that gives it it's colour & distinctive smell (had a friend who used to be a baker at AS*A)

Just want to say huge thank you for those you suggested farmfoods our nearest one is 15mins up ring road.
Hubby loved it reminded him of iceland used to be 10years ago and it was so cheap.
Milks practically buy one get one free at 2 for 1.50 75peach as we been paying 1.56 in sainsburys and that lasts us a day.
The hovis was for quid so 50p a loaf seen as hubby not keen on my bricks.
The silverspoon sugar 59p brought 6 as intend to do baking as well.
Did stock up freezer as it handy to have few things to go with chips when you dont fancy cooking.
Spent 70quid farmfood but brought tonnes.weird they dont sell booze.

We also went to farmshop we never tried before thinking might be cheap.
As akid farmshops used to be cheap direct from farmer now they ripoff joints with overpriced wild fruit. Jams , chuteys and sauces were 3quid makes me appreciate how nice my stuff is making them and hopefully people will appreciate as presents.
All I wanted was big bag of cheap potatoes shes said they not ready yet in few weeks time god nows how much she charge me.
There is a veg man on van i see going about and one at bath carboot I might try next sunday all I want is lot of spuds.

I a new shopper at Farmfoods aswell, I love it. Its so reasonable.

I always find farmshops very expensive. Cant afford to shop at them I'm afraid.

OH came to Aldi with me in the week, I was amazed, he was walking around looking at the prices so we could compare. I'm normally a Morrisons shopper but when you start looking around they can be expensive on the basics.

Still more rain in the Stockport, we had the flash floods yesterday. I'm now starting to think about planting rice!!!

Oh yes, going to the supermarket in PJs is bad enough, doing it in an adult baby gro...horrific!

Does anyone know if you can freeze Philidelphia (sp?) cream cheese, as 1 of my favourite quick dinners is spaghetti with a spoonful of garlic & herb philly with a handful of frozen peas, but cos' I only use a small amount it always seems to go off before I can use it all. :mad:

Right I really need to stop playing on the computer and get my bum in gear. I have to sort out all the laundary that I've done, pack for our little holiday with the in-laws and write up my reports for the mystery shops I've done today. Just do not have the enthusiasm to do anything today.

Sadly, I for one am very pleased it's raining as it's kept the troublesome family indoors all week which means for the first time since they moved in at Easter my car hasn't been damaged, my garden hasn't been trespassed or bits destroyed and my daughter has managed to sleep without hearing their very colourful language outside her window. The situation is really getting me down and I'm really worried about leaving the house for 7 days as I dread to think about what will happen whilst we're away. I have spoken to a few neighbours and they said they will keep an eye out. Also spoken to our local PC and he is going to swing by every so often and he has asked the PCSO to do the same. It's ridiculous really that I should be so worried about leaving my house and I should be really looking forward to going away.:mad:

Anyway, as my daughter would say big squeezy hugs for all those who need it.
