    Don't think hubby will be coming, think he has to work! It's all slightly complicated by the fact gf is constantly looking for the next place to have a smoke, and walks so incredibly slow it would do DH's head in! I think we might just go there or Hampton court anyway and just stop lots. Am just worried as i struggled to even stand in the shower this morning :mad:

    Get a wheelchair - you can hire them at all such places and be pushed around. Have you seen the GP if you are struggling that much.

    AF hasn't visited since May, and I'm defo NOT pregnant; is it possible to 'have' a menopause without any hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings? Or is it possible that the fluoxetine has been paving the way for me without me knowing?? Any wise words appreciated on that one!:o

    Have a nice day y'all

    Peri menopause happens before the real thing for about 10 years when the cycle changes. Often visits get more frequent and then less frequent. How old are you (if you don't mind me asking). A quick trip to the GP to rule out anything else maybe a good idea. Sometimes they will do a hormone blood test to check your levels.

    Back to the kitchen flying for me.

    That is very tempting! Yes have seen GP, got physio referral, first appointment they could give me was 10th Sept (about 7 weeks from referral) and said they'd let me know of any cancellation, but I phoned up yesterday and ended up almost crying down the phone, said could someone at least not phone me as it was getting too much to live with. I didn't think it was SPD so didn't really take seriously early enough I think, now think it probably is - I know I wasn't the slimmest person in the world before I got pg but was walking fit! At 20 weeks I managed some 10 mile walks on holiday but it was all downhill from there!

    Apparently I should've been referred from the start given my history (born with dodgy hips!). Oh well, friend is in hosp with pre-eclampsia and at the end of the day this may be a pain but it's manageable! Have been sitting at desk on my gym ball this am :D

  • Morning everyone
    Didnt have a very good night - several very urgent trips to the loo:eek: so have had to cancel the cleaner and Ann because i wouldnt want to give them anything!!!
    Also wet and miserable here so not very enthusiatic at the moment!
    DN has been and dressed the wound.
    DW was filled up and its been on - I think its drying just now

    Dusty glad you all had a good time - the wound is healing but very slowly. xx
    rach - why not get a wheelchair while you are there? that way you can enjoy it and I am sure your Dad will push you - maybe GF will wander off! ETA I see Dusty has beaten me too it!
    holly I think its brilliant that your size is changing - the weight loss will show soon but just to measure less is brilliant - you are obviously doing something right angel so dont be hard on yourself.
    Natty its lovely yo see you posting again - you will be fine at the therapy - just remember everyone is scared rigid too and that it is going to help you. (((hugs))))
    cycling does tefal have a website with parts ordering?
    roundtuit would you manage to print off the list at work - then you could update us on your progress the next day? I bet you could actually achieve more without the internet access - its very distracting!!!

    must go and think of lunch next.

    I hope I wont have to be flinging any mules today - there seems to be a bit of CBA going about - its not allowed you know:rotfl::rotfl:

    Dusty - I'll be 50 next month:cool: and have been as regular as clockwork and then....nothing. I'm not complaining, it's just a bit weird.

    Toots - I only work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...and have already reached the conclusion that I need to 'amend' the list to suit my Saturday-Tuesday at home routine....as in 'Saturday is the new Monday'; I'm thinking I could work a week 'behind', following this week's list next week etc until I can access Broadband at home again. Where there's a will .... Hope you're feeling better soon.

    Rx

    ETA cycling - I'll wait and see what happens, if anything. Thankyou x
