    WELL DONE BARBEDUK!!! I need to get back to work asap if I'm going to be in the top 5!

    Hugs to each and every one of you.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow JakesMum!

    Avogirly - maybe it's time to part with it (I'm happy to take care of it for you ;) )

    I'll upload pic of tasty ginger cookies later, not the yukky twinks tho. Thanks for the help about soda/powder... I will just add SR to my shopping list as much easier!

    I was supposed to be spending the day with my sortofmum but I accidentally got really drunk last night and am so hungover it's ridiculous! Daren't drive just yet, as it's a 2 hour drive and I don't think I'd cope with it just yet as well as being over the limit. Had a great night but annoyed with myself for not being able to spend the afternoon with sortofmum.

    Oh afford my life, Know that feeling. Been to the docs on 4 antibiotics a day but due to painkillers now on 18 tablets a day. Bad days are normal. Families will always be a nightmare.

    Kerri if we every getting to clothing please tell me I'd love a suit I'll never find anywhere again. A next suit with integral waistcoat. Can't bear to but it to pieces and petrified of getting the material might be next step to cheer me up!

    Hurray Jakes mum. We are hoping to book disneyland later this year if everything happens

    Avo - I'd be tempted to sell it

    Fallenwiccan - lucky you I'd love to see kelly clarkson

    Hurray Bongle a new milestone coming up

    Maddie well done

    His misses can't tell you how many times I've fallen out with the scales!

    Quick hello from me. Went to the doctors to pick up prescription which they got wrong after operating on no sleep promptly burst into tears, then went straight through to get another prescription, gotta go back on wednesday and another bunch of tablets for after the antibiotics.

    Did some research last night and the doctor was happy I knew the two drugs I wanted but can't prescribe them as its at consultant level and they are worried about putting me on them. Spoke with husband as part of the condition is changing my depo to combined which I don't want to happen but must and he's all fine about that.

    My research on the internet found the following complications as well:

    General malaise (feeling unwell and tired). Depression.
    Chronic infection leading to problems such as anaemia, kidney failure and low levels of protein in the blood.
    Joint pains and inflammation (arthropathy).


    Plus it flares up with stress. Bingo! Anyway doped to the eyeballs on painkillers now. Good news from overseas

    Oh hun, you really are going through the wars with this. Is there nothing they can do to finally sort things out for you? It's so unfair that you're having all this stress. It makes it even more amazing that you've paid off so much off your debt :A xxx

    Its part of hidradenitis suppurativa. Its taken 8 years to get this far. Its not a greatly recognised condition. Previously when I was down I would have gone out and spent to cheer up.

    Did have a good email but daren't count any chickens dead or alive. I'm hoping things are going to turn a corner soon! Just had a mass more drugs so feeling shattered. Payday next wednesday and looking to a doctors appointment next wednesday. Fingers crossed
