Well, list completed :j
I'm feeling pretty tired today so I'm going to try to get more sleep tonight, got another long list ready for tomorrow!

A bit of a quieter day today in 'to do' list terms. So far:
- Cleaned and tidied bedroom
- Went to pilates
- Posted letters
- Sorted washing
- Walked dog for 3.5 miles
When I got home from pilates I found three very happy dogs who had pulled all the stuffing out of mum's dog's bed and shredded it into 'snow' all over the living room :eek: So I've also vacuumed again! Pretty annoying as we'll have to replace it.

I wouldn't have minded if it was one of our cushions but that bed will cost us £40 :eek:"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry PratchettBought our house 2012 Married 2015 Started renovating 2015 :eek:

This afternoon was a complete write off as I spent it in bed in almost unbearable pain for the third time in the last 10 days. Thought it was indigestion but now pretty sure it's something else (if Dr Google is any help) so off the the doc's on Thursday. Pain has subsided now but I actually called OH home from work because I was so scared
. Feeling pretty upset about the whole thing and dreading another episode
Not MFW talk but OH has gone out, mum is 2500 miles away with phone switched off and I needed to offload

So sorry to read that. Unload all you want And really hope it is nothing serious. Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -
Dr Google is not half as clever as he thinks he is and should be struck off in my opinion
. Hope the proper doc puts your mind at rest - and Dr gallygirl wouldn't be at all surprised if it's stress related.
Take care xxA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

I was reading about your lovely weekend and all the lists you are getting done.
It was sounding great.... Then I read about what happened this afternoon:(
When I was having my problems last year, I forced myself to step away from Google. It just made me feel worse, and I found I couldn't stop searching - it wasn't healthy.
Hopefully the doc will be able to sort you out on ThursdayEarly retired - 18th December 2014

Thanks GG and GG
I totally agree with you about google, but when you're rolling around in pain on your own you get a bit desperate! I started by searching for indigestion remedies.
Feeling exhausted now, like I've been run over by a bus Dr is booked for Thursday so we shall see.
This evening I have:
- booked a hotel the night before our flight with airport parking
- updated the spreadsheets, juggling the 'pots' to cover the fact that we're slightly overdrawn
- tidied and cleaned the kitchen (had a bit of a soup related incident with a hand blender - soup everywhere :eek:)
- decluttered a bit from the sky box
Tomorrow I'm going to tackle the room of doom, wash towels, walk pups, and...relax!"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living." Terry PratchettBought our house 2012 Married 2015 Started renovating 2015 :eek:

Hi, a trip to the Dr sounds like a good idea. Learn from my mistake please and don't wait. I wouldn't have been anywhere near as ill if I'd gone straight away.
