    Ouch to gall bladder problems. My friend had that, and it was hard to manage. Good luck with sorting you out so that you can sort it out!

    thanks Chev, both my mum and sister have had their gall bladders removed so i've seen what they went through. It's certainly not fun but so far, touch wood etc it's not happening constantly just on odd occasions.

    Take it easy LT, a low fat diet is the best to follow. Be careful of too much starch as well.

  • hi LT - hope you had a fab crimbo - ouch to gallstones though! Take some time to look after yourself or packing and indeed moving will be even less fun! (Am I the only one who hates moving?) x

    today i paid a visit it to Homebase, my second in two days hmmmm i wonder if that requires hospitalisation.

    anyway i was going for practical things in their 20% off sale - things such as a paint stripping heat gun and a wallpaper stripper thingie. anyway i fell in love with a red shiney kettle (had a matching toaster but that wasn't calling to me as much as the kettle!) i walked around and around the shop picking up mega practical things for the new house including shiney new cat flap, smoke alarm & c.o. alarm with the kettle in my trolley but in the end i asked Martin's questions about did i need or want it...... i came to the conclusion that it was a want so put it back. I still miss that kettle even though it was only on loan whilst i was walking around. lol it was a bargain as it was reduced by £40 and then would have had another 20% off but we have a kettle so i don't 'need' another one.

    i do feel that i need kettle loss counselling.


    how is everyone? we're ticking along, i have a day off tomorrow with Mr LT and the only thing i have to do is go to the bank to sort out some 6% regular saver accounts for my neices & nephews. other than that i think we'll be taking it easy and starting the packing.... and Nat you're not the only one, i've not moved very often but the stress is already getting to me and this is only the first time i have ever had to sell and buy somewhere at the same time.
