    Thank crunchie its friday!!
    Munchki I hope you survived your day. Sounds like you have been having a tough time hun.
    Is the doc doing any tests to confirm his ulcer diagnosis.
    My friend was diagnosed the same was on the medication for a lot longer than you are supposed to be and finally they did some tests and she had no ulcer. she had an inflamed oesophagus from acid reflux and a small hernia. of course the reflux could make an ulcer more likely but she didn't actually have one. The pain was really intense though. So worth making sure.
    Big hugs to everyone as it seems we all need them at the moment.
    Will probably be around again later.

    Oh no Jo, sorry hun. busy yesterday with PR work and trying to out Avon ..... struggling to find cheap bags to put the books in, I didn't order off ebay as I wanted to be able to go, pick some up and get going, but if I HAD ordered from ebay on Thursday I would probably have had them by now.... and saved myself the petrol and time trying to find the right size...grrrrr. Looks like it is a trip to pundland, but it is a 10min plus drive and I was trying to save the time and petrol cost... oh well, live and learn!! Also need to thin about the bags I will use to deliver orders to customers (assuming I get some!!) thinking brown paper bag with handles .... but no idea if/where to get them cheap..... back to reading the Avon thread ........

    How are you feeling Jo? Have you managed to fit the job in with everything else? are you still working on the cafe as well?

    sorry jo missed last night was busy knitting, have been asked by girls at work to knit fancy scarfs and have 6 to do! Nixi our avon lady uses zip lock bags to keep her books in, i get bags and boxes from a website called the bag n box man - is this what your looking for http://www.bagnboxman.co.uk/acatalog/brown-paper-carrier-bags.html found them to be the cheapest and also the delivery was really quuick - am needing to put another order in as have run out of most things.

    hehe!
    nice to see you both. Skint you wear me out just reading what you do. and Lol about being too heavy for the bike. that is definitely soooo NOT true.
    Nixi sounds like you are motivated for the Avon stuff and that link from Skint looks great.
    Looking forward to the carp that is X-factor in an hour!! My guilty pleasure. haha.
