    Morning NL, hope the hospital visit goes well and you don't have to hang round too long.

    I haven't got my tree up yet, not sure if I can be bothered, I'm afraid to say...

    Hope today went well honey. No tree for me as yet, I was going to put it up this weekend, (honest) but as I'm now away all weekend it'll have to wait another week. Will get OH to bring all the things down from the attic whilst I'm away and see if he gets on and does some of the decorating too.

    Oops just seen a pig flying right past my nose.

    granny I saw a silver pig with wings in a shop window the other day and I thought of yours and my situation!

    Piq and Chev, I am not sure I can muster it up to decorate, I was thinking maybe one of those little tabletop trees.

    So the gories: I went in, They took out 60mL of seroma, bandaged me up and sent me home. Thankfully they used a local!

    The budget meeting has been all over the news and how awful it all is. The whole thing is depressing bu makes me even more determined to be debt free.

    sending you all hugs and love for caring about me. xx

    Hope you're ok when the injection wears off. Itried to bargain with the children on not having a tree, they won.

    Hi everyone, down with a nasty cold now too. GP tomorrow at 8:40, and breast area filling up with fluid again so that is Wednesday (he will probably put a pigtail drain in, which doesnt sound great) and urologist on Thursday.

    I am supposed to be going back to work on Monday 17 December which I really don't feel up to but I am scared that my boss is going to freak if I take any further sick leave. Maybe get sacked, etc. He calls me almost every day and asks me to run reports for him that he doesn't know how to do which I do, not sure if that is even legal but I feel like if I do it, he will see that I am not just taking the mick.

    Thanks for letting me vent all this here and you gals (and guy) never judge me and I am so grateful xx

    Sounds like you are pretty run down at the moment, hope you are wrapping up warm and taking care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon x

    Re the boss, as long as your health isn't suffering I would continue trying to help out and point this out if you need to stay off until the New Year. If you are able to do a few hours from home now and again, I'm sure it'll give you something to focus on.

    Always here to listen to your woes.

    Love Granny x
