    Okay now don't panic they were only looking for cancer in me because I have a history of stomach cancer, if her appointment isn't til the 14th of July don't panic it means they are not concerned. I know it's no fun for her but they put me through as an emergency appointment.I had 10 days between seeing the GP and having the endoscopy, is she taking medication?

    Please don't worry, but tell her she wants to be sedated. It really is the way.



    she will be sedated thank god cos i dont fancy their chances otherwise .lol
    she does take meds but is sick almost everytime she has something which is causing havoc with her epilepsy meds.

    We're watching White Christmas. :xmassign:

    DD's just watched "Hans Christian Anderson" so wants to see Danny Kaye in another film. This is the first time she's seen it. I've been feeling Christmasy (I blame decorating the window for the World Cup lol) so I'm happy as well. :snow_grin:snow_grin

    Evening everyone,

    OMO thankyou, oh i bet you cant wait to get started, how exciting! Oh dear i was so mad yesterday as soon as i heard on the news that we were out, i took my flag down and ripped up my world cup chart :mad: i was so angry, they are a load of overpaid pra*s, i dont just watch it for England i love watching the other countries but to not even get out of the groups is pretty bl**dy shameful. Oh will keep fingers crossed for DS and Chile :) ooh i am going to remember that quote :rotfl:

    DROPSOFJUPITER oh theres nothing like visitors to make you get up and clean is there!! My house is minging at the moment :(

    NICKI haha love it :xmassmile

    CHRISSYG oh your poor DD thats a long time to be sick all the time, i hope they find whats causing it, because they didnt find anything nasty on my DD1s endoscopy, i cant remember what the name of it is but they pretty much just fobbed her off with meds :(

    JJ thankyou, hope you are still keeping well :)

    NEWTHRIFT thankyou :)

    GETTINGTHEREQUICKLY haha yes i do agree with that :), oh what a lot of stress for your brother to go through, but karma got there in the end!! What a relief for you both. Can i just ask you, do you need a visa to go to Egypt? DD1 is going in October and is travelling around, she has been told by some people yes she needs to get one here and some people say she can get one at the airport in Cairo, she has even had conflicting advice from who she is travelling with and i thought you would know. TIA

    DropsofJuptier Happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely day.

    Have some :bdaycake: to celebrate. Does anyone want a bit? :D
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    You can get the visa at the airport in Cairo, if she hands in £20 she will be given the change in EGP, so she can have an extra bit of loose change. Just before she gets to passport control, there are banks, just walk up to any, hand in the money and ask for the visa. Passport control will put it in her passport and stamp, they seem to be quite fussy about them now, visa used to be about the size of a stamp, now it is half a page. Do u get the impression I have been there before?:D Actually booked my flight last night, was shocked at the increase in last week, but suddenly heard on Wednesday that my uncle was planning on flying with me, so had to wait until I saw him, he is going to Aus instead now but my flight has cost me about an extra £80:mad:
    A smile costs little but creates much :)
  • Is it wrong of me to have lots of winter stuff on the line? May as well as the weather is so nice and it will need to be done before the winter:D

    :bdaycake: HAPPY BIRTHDAY dropsofjupiter :bdaycake:

    I have just primed the signs, so must now wait 4 hours to paint them :eek: then it will another 4 hours before I can decorate them. Today has just flown by. I had hoped to prime them first thing this morning but live got in the way. A couple of people I have spoken to on the selling site have shown an interest, so fingers crossed they sell.

    I still have to go to WHSmiths to get the Sharpie pens and I need to go food shopping :(

    Hope the sun is shining where ever you are today :D
