    Hi all

    Am in office today and left before 7 so no flying yet, but hoping to be home about 3ish so I can do a little before collecting the kiddies.
    It's mega busy here again, which I suppose is down to me being off for a week.

    Q - so I have started these new meds, for anxiety, and I feel nauseous, a bit "spacey" and a bit jittery in my chest, is that usual? It's nothing ott, but I notice it more if I move my head suddenly? Could be coincidence, of course...

    We aren't allowed to give medical advice.. but if you read the enclosed leaflet it will say these are normal symptoms and they do pass after a few days/weeks.. just stick with it. If in doubt speak to your pharmacist xx

    With your newly washed ironing board cover and descaled iron? :rotfl:

    Dustykitten, we won't let you forget this week's tasks in a hurry :D
    :p this is a money saving tip, a descaled iron will last longer and a washed cover will not need replacing so soon because it is dirty :p

    Peony welcome aboard

    Washing blowing wildly on the line. Been to the dump. Need to walk friends dog now (ha not walked a dog since I was a teenager, pray I don't loose it - they love it)

    LW would it be possible to twist their arm by saying that by a certain date you WILL be stopping doing some of the paperwork so that they HAVE to sort themselves out and find someone. not sure how desperate you are to give it to someone else so wondered if this would be an option with the extra amount you got landed with
    Unfortunately, all that would happen is that the District Manager would have to do it all, plus her own role as well, as there are simply no volunteers coming forward. Sadly the DM's had quite a lot of bad luck in her life lately resulting in her dashing about looking after family, as well as a health scare of her own, and I can't bring myself to do that to her; she's as anxious as I am to at least get someone who lives in the OX postcode to take on that region.

    I second what Piggers says; some of them can make you feel quite weird til your system settles down to them.

    I am so tired; I just want to lie down and sleep, and I don't have any good reason for feeling like this.:( I have to try and at least dust the lounge and hall today, whatever else doesn't get done.

    Just realised, I should have had an appointment from the hospital by now; it's a year since I last went, and they said I'd be sent an appointment "nearer the time" which was supposed to be in time for me to get a blood test done and the results back before going - but I've heard zilch. I'm betting they've quietly dropped me off the Consultant's list and not bothered to tell me.:mad: Originally I was told I would see either the consultant or the specialist nurse every six months to keep tabs on the illness, then it stretched to nine months when they kept changing the appointment date, then a year, and now.... nothing.:cool:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
  • Not sure Tuesdays list will get done today, but did clean the bathroom on Saturday so its not too bad. Didn't actually get to sit down until gone 9.00 last night. This week is totally manic not enough hours in the day. Got to go to T-sco when I finish work tonight, then take the dogs out and when I eventually get in I'm having a LARGE glass of wine. :) Feeling really down with some family and so called friends at the moment so might have two LARGE glasses to cheer me up.

  • :mad: I've been up in the attic and cannot find the playgroup sweatshirt.. it is just a mase of bin bags up there and a load of rubbish. I think i'll have to have a proper good clear out and start doing a tip run each day DS3 is away to playgroup. Hopefully get it cleared before christmas, ebay stuff and all.

    Flying wise boys bedroom is looking loads better so I'll do anther HHC in there and then it should be done. Loads of washing to get done this evening and clean clothes need put away.

    Its so lovely to be doing this again. Though i thought the place was reasonably tidy, it really was not as clean as i thought. Am really going to try and just stick to the rooms posted, and do them as good as i can, knowing the place will be looking cleaner in a week. Hopefully, by not running ahead. I will not run out of steam and enthusiasm.
