    6 days! My word, you must be knackered! Strange as this may sound, a Doctor once told my FIL that the best food to eat whilst in your condition is beans on toast :eek: Apparently the vegetable protein and sugar in the beans and the carbs in the bread will give your body what it needs to keep ticking over whilst you are depleted, whilst pushing through double-quick what is upsetting the balance. Sort of makes sense, however the thought of beans is :eek: Hope you feel back to yourself soon.

    Curtains are now chopped - done rather a good job if I do say so myself. Will refrain from wonder-webbing them until they've been through the washer and shrunk slightly.

    Bathroom next - need to find a junior hacksaw to trim the bath beading, something to stick it to the bath (no more nails/tacks) and a sanding block to do a bit of rubbing down. Reckon I can do this just in time for the school run if I crack on.

    Another HHC anyone?

    I've been told that too tmd, although the last time DD2 had the squits I just starved her! (The previous episode she kept on trying to eat and it made things worse)

    I knew she was on the road to recovery when she sneaked downstairs for a bread roll and a packet of crisps (she's inclined to be lazy - so if she could be bothered to get them then she was going the right way!)

    Have been to the paid stuff and come home via Iceland. DD2 decluttered to her proper job! Have done washing up and have a load of towels to hang out - and then I can snooze in front of the cricket/tennis. I am still very tired after Saturday - I need to shut my eyes...

    spent morning packing bags for new food bank, had to leave for work as soon as packing was done but friend who organised it has just told me they got rid of all 50 bags we packed and sadly had to turn 5 people away as they came once all the bags had gone. she thought no one would come first week and it would build up slowly. she said well need to do more bags next time as word will spread.
    been work, eaten with DH and hes gone back to work so im sorting some stuff in attic got a box to put up and a few to throw down
    HHC at 2.30 anyone?
    going to set a timer for 3pm so i know to come out of attic by then or ill still be up there where DH comes home at 6!!

    Well I tried the starving - no change

    the I tried the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce and toast) diet as recommended by webMD- a bit better

    but I'll see what my quack has to say, it's happened once before a few months ago and I ended up excluding lactose so I've done that again (had gradually reintroduced it)

    I'm just hype anxious about bowel ailments as there's a history of bowel cancer in the family and it makes me edgy!!

  • Posi vibes that the Doctor allays your fears.

    Beading cut and bath panel rubbed down. Can't find the sticky stuff so will have to ask OH when he gets in.

    I'm not inspired with anything we've got in the cupboards for dinner - I didn't meal plan and it shows.

    Going to do some dusting in the lounge now and start the sparkling process. I could be some time :o

    Not much done here, seem to have lost hours somewhere today. Washing all up to date, now have a load of ironing to do. Been to the garden centre and got a few bits, even planted out some stuff.

    Got my paint so i'll start that soon. DD's friends mum rang to ask if DD can go to a sleep over on Saturday so DD has been told bedroom would need to be spotless. At minute she's tidying, I think she's just having a rave party in there.

    Boys are suppose to be tidying their bedroom but are just carrying on. I swear i'll remove all yet. :mad:

    DD is to get her loop system fixed tomorrow so her room will need gutted and things moved. Think I need a coffee if i'm to get all done tonight. :(

    msgnomey hope your feeling better soon.
