    Good morning:hello:
    Up and showered, hair washed - nice and early! DD2 and I are off out shopping....just Asda, so I'm buying her McDs breakfast first - that wont cost me much as I cant eat any of it today:( Not to worry, I'll have a coffee and she can stuff her face with pancakes!

    I have a top to return to Ne*t and a new, sealed razor to Bo*ts, bought the wrong one. I need a few cheap tops for work...stop me wearing my decent ones - so hope Asda have some. I've written my meal plan and shopping list - it's not huge so will do my very best to stick to it!! The huge Asda is too tempting tho;)

    Yesterday was a quiet day, just what I like. Played on the Wii with dd2 in the evening and was in bed by 11.

    I got a few things on ebay yesterday - about 5 I think...if a few sell I'll be really pleased. One is a jacket of dd2's that cost me over £50...now she doesnt wear it, she has an old bodywarmer of mine she loves! So thought I'd sell it while they're going for about £40ish...fingers crossed:D I've still not listed the ipod touches - maybe I'll do it later...but I need to do some more of my assignment ready to hand in on Wed.

    Ok, better get my face on:)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Just thought I'd drop on to wish you all the best for tomorrow and congratulate you on being up, showered, dressed and face done so early on a Sunday morning.:T With a positive outlook like that you'll do brilliantly!

    Thanks for the good wishes ladies...I'll be glad when it's over, I am so thirsty:( Getting up early is not the same without a cuppa, grrrr. I'll be off in about an hour, hopefully it'll get done quickly so I can buy some lunch and get home:D

    I sold an old ipod nano this morning - £60, so pleased with that:beer: DD2 and I sorted all her old Build a Bears and clothes and made a big bundle to list - hope it makes her some cash, she's very excited! We have 2 watchers already, only went on last night...and at £75 starting bid it's not cheap - but have put loads of stuff in. I've still not done the ipod touches...must do that soon, it's my money when I sell them:D

    We had a good morning shopping yesterday - oops, spent £79 in Asda....dont think this month's grocery budget will last:o I'm looking forward to roast chicken tonight - after a pasta'n'sauce dish Sat and egg on toast last night, I reckon I deserve a big, fat meal:rotfl:

    Is everything OK Millie?

    Hiya ladies:D
    The scan itself was fine - not exactly fun but ok:o I just felt awful last night - with the scan I had, I had to drink a load of stuff, that made me so bloated and they inject a couple of things during the scan...one was a muscle relaxant and the other a contrast to show up the stuff inside me - nice. I felt really woozy when I came out (prob the relaxant doing that) - fell asleep when I got home:o Then all evening I had a dreadfully upset tum - was painfully bloated and just going round and round...horrid:(

    I do feel better now but was still rough at school. My insides are too delicate post-op to cope with anything unusual inside me;)

    So...home now...yesterdays roast is on, I couldnt face doing it last nite - girls had oven chips and fish...I nibbled some chips. Im still very bloated but have hardly eaten much today, my trousers are tight...pjs will go on soon:rotfl:

    But, it's all done now - and I will see the results tomorrow at my appointment with my doc back at the hospital tomorrow. So, will see if there's any active Crohns again.

    I must crack on and tidy up and get dinner sorted - girls both out so have a quiet house. Letting agents doing a check tomorrow so need to be in order here! I doubt I'll go to college in the morning, I could do with the time to work, plus we had some prep for a discussion to do - which I forgot about...didnt help that I was off work yesterday and have spent all of today making pancakes at school;)

    And hooray - I transferred £122 out of Paypal to the bank today from ebay sales:beer::beer: Sold a coat of dd2s - £50...I'm sure I paid £55 for it, so thats not bad. So I posted that along with the ipod and a pair of new shoes that went for nearly £8 (I paid £6 for them...people are funny;))

    Very pleased with my ebay sales! I have a very old ipod nano ending tonight, a 1st gen one - its on £16 with 2hrs to go, so wooohooo to that too:T

    Ooh sounds nasty. I have had similar procedures done and have felt rotten afterwards. Just try to rest up - don't rush yourself. Good decision to save the roast until tonight :)

    Take care now...
