    Hi all, the vet said that, apart from worms, the pups are just fine. You wouldn't believe the difference in them since Saturday, they actually look like dogs now instead of refugees from a prison camp. The people we had them off said they were 9 weeks old, they're more like 6 or 7 weeks. Got an appointment for them to have their shots on Friday so that will be a spend day. Lucy and Star send best wishes to everyone.
    Have a good day and hugs to all. :D

    Awwww, that's great news Modesty!:D

    I have the gastro clinic today thankfully, so I will be able to discuss things with the doc today. I have a feeling that the balance of the meds I am on for my skin is not quite right. I am worried my (newish) supervisor thinks I am swinging the lead, so I am going to have a chat with her today and put her in the picture as to what having Crohn's can entail. I always feel really guilty about being off work!

    Hope the GI clinic went well - I've got Crohn's too and most people don't "get" how difficult it can be to manage. Even when my tummy's "settled", I really struggle with total exhaustion which many people just don't understand. My meds were changed a while ago which has really helped my tummy:) but my skin's now terrible:( so need to try to find something to sort that out now!

    *creeps in very quietly looking very sheepish*.... well I think i have totally fallen off the NSD wagon this month, spent 28p at lunchtime on some ibuprofen (then discovered half a pack in my draw still) but I also kind of, somehow, managed to order some boots from TKM website :o Well 3 pairs to be totally honest but just to see which i prefer (if any) and if I'm taking one pair back to store i might as well take two, plus i got free delivery.

    Home made dinner tonight though, canneloni (not the best but edible) and more crumble - deff the best and very moreish :D

    Got back into work today (after a couple of days off) to find the xmas presents i ordered have arrived :j so that's friend in oz sorted (might get something to go with it), friend at work 1/2 sorted and OH has something stashed away now too (bit of a risk if he doesn't like it but I don't think I'd have got it nearer the time) What's more, I haven't broken into my xmas budget yet so going well.

    elfen, your gig job sounds like exactly what I wanted to do before I went to uni, had dreams of writing for the NME. Oh well, at least I can get excitied about the Stone Roses reforming, debating trying to get tickets but bet they will be extortinate :eek:
