  • Wow that is a much more positive post Mrs. Good for you. I really hope they do buy the house and let you get into a better financial position. You would just beed to make sure you resisted spending a fortune on bits for the new house. Your house must be lovely for people to say that. I have a friend who has a great 'eye' for putting rooms together. Her house is the cleanest I have ever seen and I think she just despairs when she comes into mine :rotfl:.Don't get me wrong, mine is fine but not fab.

    What are we like healthwise just now :eek:. Don't know about you but it is really starting to p*ss me off. I am used to being the healthy one in my family and it's starnge for everyone to be so worried about me. I'm sure I'll be fine. I just need to know what is going on so I can fix it once and for all.

    Let us know how you get on with the house xx

  • Am so happy things are starting to look more positive.

    Your house sounds divine! perhaps like gargrave you have a future in television, a kind of changing rooms guru... omg... you could give people a makeover, and make over their houses, and then all have a sweetie buffet!

    Am so excited with my Jelly Telly idea. I think this is prime time viewing!

    omg skint you so funny, i really need a night on the tiles with you!!!!

    First lot of tests showed carpel tunnel in both hands and left sided fibromyalgia. Have to wait til 15 may for next tests as now i have carpel tunnel in both hands i have a 1 in 2 chance of having nephews hereditary problem as apposed to 1 in 100,000 if i didnt have symptons.

    Hopefully fingers crossed that it isnt. If electrode tests positive will haev to push for gentetic testing as ops with people with hnpp could cause parlsysis as it similar to ms as the mylein sheath gets scar tissue.

    House we wanted has sold but no offer on ours as yest so keep hoping.


    Oh also does anyone know how i can get interest ona cc reduced. Since barlacard took over egg and we requested paper statements we have realised we are paying near on 27pc interest instead of the 16 we thought anu ideas?
    Hope you all well xxxxx

    What a day and it started so well!

    Just spent the afternoon attached to heart monitors. Bought some trousers in next and needed to change the size. Poor sat girlserving me and I decided I needed asleep and decided to have a little lay down on the counter followed by a snooze on the floor. Have never fainted before felt a right idiot. Think it was a drop in blood pressure caused by pain in my neck nd maybe stress. Not that I'm stressed! Never, anyway feeling ok now . Rest this weekend ,do have a very big bruise on arm must have hit counter on way down,
    So no debt busting this weekend I'm having it off x sys x

  • Take care Jellybean - sounds like you need to have total rest for a few days.

    Don't want to sound like a nana but remember to eat and drink - it helps you from not fainting lol!!

    Take care and I hope you back to firing on all cylinders soon xxx

  • Feeling better today apart from massive bruise from when I went down, on my arm.
    Thank you for your wishes x

    Does anyone know if there is anyway bc would drop an interst rte that egg put up without us knowing? My egg card I was informed and closed the account and paid it off, hubby saying he didn't get a letter. Bc saying egg emailed him is that sufficient? Interst went p to 27 from 16.9 pc. Any help would be good.
    Found this out day before so think I go stressed over it, funny how the body tells ou when enough is enough

  • Hope you managed to sort your interest out - ask them if they will reduce it, worth a shot.

    How you feeling now? x

    Just been back to doc silly me thought I could go to work yesterday and nearly passed out again.

    Bit of awake up call one of my staff came round last night and told my husband about my vacant moments. Sort of forgot to mention them!
    Doc says I got bad vertigo but can't rule out epilepsy , even though it seems a mild form. Started on some pills today so hopefully feel better soon. They going to send me to a neurologist to as well as tests on my arm as he thinks it might have been a fit as I have a strange taste before I went which undont get just fainiting. Also said it just felt like it was one side, as I didn't feel like I went completely just felt confused.

    so not much debt busing going on and going to put the sweet bar on hold for now, even doc said I need time out.

    Told hubby he got to start dealing with debts and stop leaving it all to me!

    Hope you all well xxxx
