    Oh lulu you poor thing. :(

    Found 2p on the floor at Church on Sunday so snaffled that for my pot! :D I've also done the first payday food shop....hurray for food....and I have some shrapnel which I will deposit in my pot shortly.

    Hope everyone is enjoying/surviving the weather. Sports day one of three done....after a rather sweaty day (need to buy some summer jogging bottoms) DD informed me that I had a negative aroma lol!! Fortunately I've had a shower now and feel fresh as a daisy again!! :D
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    lulu 92 - sorry you are going through such a rough time - make sure you get every test there is done - leave no stone unturned until you get some help.
    £2.23 for the tin.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    lulu said herself that she has a history of gallstones a couple of posts ago. I was wondering if it could be pancreatitis. I hope the Dr's find outwhat's wrong soon!

    £2.88 potted.
    Ooops must have missed that, I blame the blonde moments :-)
    Lulu - i have had the same pains only mine are also in my back. They decided i had a bladder infection. Two different lots of antibiotics later and i'm still having the pains but not so much in my back any more but i am getting really bad indigestion even when i don't eat...
    Have you been checked for gallstones? Mine always start in my back, hurt like hell!!

    They haven't mentioned gallstones even though I told them my family history.

    Got sent home from work today for throwing up blood. Went to the doctor and she said it was probably a reaction to the tramadol. Still got the pain but everyone is clueless. My gp is waiting for the results from the hospital for my scans and such to see what action they need to take.
    I'm not a doctor, but after suffering for 5 years and taking somewhere in the region of 60 tablets a day (I'm 26) I'm finally having my gallbladder ripped out next week, and I honestly can't wait.
    I would push to be checked, both of you, it's such an easy thing to fix.

    Feel better both of you!!


    I am potting, but I couldn't tell you how much eeek!!
    I'll count it while I'm out of action lol

    After a desert of money (ie none in my purse, therefore nothing to pot!), I have a whole £1 coin making friends in my pot. :D

    Morning all.

    Mummy+2 - welcome to both this thread and MSE. Good luck with your savings.

    lulu 92 - hope you get to the bottom of your issue soon.

    I potted 3 x £1 coins and a 50p = £3.50 potted.
    Hoping to pot another £10 by Saturday - fingers crossed.
