    I have spoken to her husband and she is fine. In a private room in Broomfields. Her DH had popped out for an hour and when he got home she didn't feel well, had a pain in her back and left arm. As per normal she didn't want to make a fuss but her DH dialled 999 anyway.
    At least I can get my own back now. She is forever going on about how when I had kidney stones it took me 4 hours to phone for help. And there she was having a heart attack telling her DH to stop fussing.

    Murie as you know I post a quick reply too! Ha. Wow you've done so well on SW :) I totally agree with what you've said. I have never dieted before and looked at a plan for life rather than a quick fix as I've seen friends yoyo which isn't for me (I hope) I do save enough syns each day for a treat in the evening think that helps too. Funnily enough my DD doesn't think I should be let out alone either haha (we have so much in common) which makes me giggle considering I'm fit to look after DGD2 ! xxx
    Quidsy thank you for the invite :) xxx
    Nic well done you! that's a fab weight loss. Go girl, my friend (afore mentioned yoyo) has been doing hebalife for the same times and she's only lost 2lb extra (so obviously yours is much better and sustainable)
    Woo hoo. We are turning into the Christmas lovers SW appreciation society. It's great that we can share what works and help spur each other one xxx
    Arthein wowzer your MiL to be has done fantastically. Think that's in the same time scale as me but I've only lost 3.5stone. (Say only I am delighted with that ) You will have to join our merry band xxx
    his missus I really can't believe how much you've managed to do. Hope you get time for a bit of me time this weekend. No body deserves it more xxx
    Freespirit you are such a clever clogs. I'm so blooming proud of you xxx
    Linky I'm glad you've had news. What is she like (friend) can just imagine, luckily her DH was on the case :) wishing her a very speedy recovery xxx

    I've not heard from Festive Princess aka JJ today but will certainly pass on all our best wishes Mandco xxx

    BBTHREE sleep well my lovely! fabulous news xxx

    Well I actually managed to do well in a sale today. Fanfare please:

    Christmas cards 20/30p pack x2
    Gift Tags 5p pack x3
    Fill your own crackers silver £1 x1
    Tea light holders 60p x3 (posh ones like the Yankee range)
    Frame/quote thing x £1.50 (love it, must take a photo see if Feisty could share the idea)
    Gazebo £99 x1

    Obviously the gazebo wasn't a Christmas bargain but it's fab and it means I can sit in the garden and angle the sides so I don't have to see neighbour from hell and she can't see me!

    We were at a garden centre in Knutsford, had gone specially to buy an occasions rose tree for the elderly neighbour (who we used to do an awful lot for but I've managed to ween her off us-almost) who is 80 tomorrow. I'd like to think karma led us there :) As she's not been very nice (since weening) but had started to take advantage :( so it had to be done. Anyhow she was delighted with the rose tree and I'm delighted with my bargains.

    Ruth finished "Fireside Dreams" I loved it. Thank you again for the recommendation. Hadn't realised that the author had also written the Christmas bake off that I'd loved last year. Ah I'm such a dumbo, will start "Meet me under the mistletoe" tonight and let you and Springdreams know how I'm getting on xxx

    News from our. Festive Princess

    I'm afraid news isn't brilliant but there's room for improvement (I am ever the optimist) they done a lumbar puncture and the pressure in my brain was over double the maximum amount it should be in a normal person! I'm on day 9 of vomiting and and surgeons have now adjusted my shunt and are hoping this works or else its more surgery or another bolt in my head! Feel free to copy and paste this to the board to keep people updated nan
