    Susan - OH NO!!! What a Day!!! I couldn't make out if you were having us on at first. ;) Are you having the op or you putting it off until after hols?

    Bunbun - well done on your sales. 10/11 is fab. :) I chenged my password. I should really have phoned them up but it's a premium rate number, and last time I was on hold for 20 mins, so I just have my fingers crossed extra tight, that the only thing they got was my 'old' password.

    Legend - night night. I hope Connor (and you) get's a better night's sleep.

    Another person paid just, so another visit to PO in the morning. I just wish the other two would pay so I can get it all done.

    The straighteners I had spare I sold on - Mum had one and an MSE friend (Waves) had another. Both sold at cost price. :) Have you seen the things people have been buying on the grabbit? One person must have spent nearly £1,000 today. I'm all for getting a bargain but leave some for everyone else. :mad:

    Oh Susan, could anything else go wrong! Hugs to you
    Pablo's Mum - congrats, so glad you managed to find out - do I take it you already have a boy and may therefore be quite well equipped? If so think of all the money you will save!
    Legend - are they going to take DS tonsils out if he gets it again?
    Both my 2 have runny noses at the moment, but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere, whereas I have a full blown snotfest going on that is making me cough, I know I'm not sleeping and am pretty run down so its not surprising. I have booked myself in to see the doc on Friday - I think a month with 4 hours max sleep a night is enough! Still having some bad days - not so many as before, yesterday was quite a bad one, don't know what triggered it, but really didn't sleep and felt very anxious again...
    Got a couple of ebay parcels to post, and have bought a couple of presents on ebay to put away too - got to start getting into the Christmas spirit soon or it will have completely passed me by before I know it!
    To everyone else who is suffering or who has family with illness, my thoughts are with you all xx

    Hi pinky and welcome

    Pablos glad you found out eventually, I couldn't wait to know with either of mine

    susan42 - poor you at least tomorrow can only be better

    Skiergirl thanks, sorry bout your Ohs job

    My ohs had the scan and now they haven't given him the results - so annoying and even more so i read his notes whilst I was up there tonight and it says if anything found on scan refer to eurology and if not refer back to Lyndsey (his crohns nurse) he said this is nothing like his crohns so sounds like they are just going to fob him off if the answer isn't staring straight at them.

    Elysia - Thanks again for giving me the push with reviews, I have posted 2 already this week and have another 2 ready, not my best work what with everything going on but the pennies add up so still worth it.

    Emma - that's the spirit. ;) Don't worry about it - just get those reviews posted. :) Let us know when OH get's his results, and don't let them fob you off.

    Foxy - Well done on getting the Doc's appoitment. Make sure you go now. ;) Even if they give you something for a short while - it'll just take the edge off the anxiety and help you sleep better.

  • susan I am tempted to print that one off for when I think my day is bad, as that one sounds as bad as it gets. Hope tomorrow is much better.

    foxy definitely go to the DRs. I think as the nights draw in, you are likely to be more anxious if you don't try and sort it now, and it could get you ever so run down not sleeping. Make an appointment and let us know how you go.

    Fairly productive day.

    Got £3 PC, and redeemed £5 amazon on SB. I also got some feedback from Chacha which means I did not qualify for this weeks promotion, but I have queried it, as I am not sure it is right. If it is right, then further clarification will stop me doing it again, and if it wrong then the competition is back on. Not worth me killing myself otherwise.

    I still have not found any motivation for reviews. Must try and do another couple for the travel promotion. And sooner rather than later. I think I need to add one, so I will go do that now.

    Michelle - don't get pushing yourself too much either! I hope you manage to get your review done, but don't worry too much about it.

    That reminds me - I need to boot up DD's comp so I can get my review off it. I'll post it now too :)

    It tends to hit the bank around the 15th of the month as they only do one payment run a month, doesn't matter what date in the month you request it it still hits the same day, I usually request my payment on the second last day of the month so it is as high as it can be but still have an extra day left if something wrong and have to contact them.
