  • The Cupboard of Donewithworrying sounds good to me!

    Well done LIR! It has worked out perfectly, reward yourself!

    Erm, anyone have a cure for a bloated tummy? MIL gave WaSp some money for us to have a take away yesterday as it's been over a year since we did so we opted for curry. I really should have considered my IBS before that. I have finally stopped running to the bathroom but now I can't lie down, my stomach immediately feels like it has a painful bowling ball in it so I haven't been to sleep yet. It was an extremely nice curry though!

    I have all 3 of those! I didn't think of yoghurt, though. Thank you!

    PS. That wasn't asking for medical advice because I am not ill, just greedy. Plus it saves me a job of looking at Doctor Google and boring everyone to tears with the fact I have some obscure strain of rare tropical bug disease for the next 3 weeks.

    PPS. Doctor Google said ovarian cancer. Nope, not believing it! Go away doctor Google! why is he always so pessimistic?

    Not remotely on topic but just interesting - there's a new Johnny Depp film being filmed in Gloucester Docks today, there are four tall ships there & you can get an idea of what's happening here, complete with occasional billows of smoke -

    I never knew you could get ovarian cancer from takeaways! Perhaps it is just Delhi belly after all. I seem to remember the symptoms!

    I now have 2 grazed knees and a bleeding toe to add to my collection of injuries. Fell over a hole in the pavement so just need to make the council aware. I am fine though, and someone did stop their car to check I am okay.

    .

    On the contrary, turmeric is one of the currently fashionable superfoods. I know because found in rates likes it and because my clients all want their horses to have it since fir and I were feeding ours with it a couple of years ago.

    ( interestingly horses seem to love turmeric)

    :D

    WaS you'd freak if you were me. One of my cysts or a fibroid or something is huge, I can see it and feel it. :D. I've grown sort of friendly with it, its like a little chum. :rotfl:.

    Penguin moment...

    Out of interest, WaS, and not because I am expecting the answer to be 'yes', I wondered if you had ever had any kind of genetic testing?

    And if you did, what it was testing for or what the outcome was?

    I imagine you were diagnosed anyway for most stuff before DNA testing was as advanced as it is now.

    I really wish mh problems were as simple as test the DNA and rule things out or in, even if you can't get a definite yes or no from DNA alone.

    Yes, in fact all the spices in curry are chock full of anti-oxidants.

    Hello everyone. I'm back, but pretty brain dead! I wrote a long post this morning, and the internet went down and swallowed it :( I know I had sent special greetings to LiR (I think when I posted this morning I had forgotten I'd posted yesterday. Yes, I am THAT brain dead!) Anyway, LiR, I think you ought to take your fibroid/cyst on a little outing to the doctor's so that your Dr can enjoy feeling it as well - I don't think you ought to keep all the fun to yourself!

    Hope the curry was worth it, WaS - I expect it was (curry! Yum! And here's me on a fast day! :( )

    I went into London today for a meeting and had a serious wardrobe malfunction. My shoes, which I swear I have worn without tights before, ganged up on my feet and decided to rip the skin off them. By the time I arrived at Marylebone I was in such pain I popped my shoes in my bag and walked from the station to Church Street (about 3/4 mile) in bare feet. So if you saw someone walking through central London in bare feet today, that was probably me. Fortunately I managed to buy some sandals and clean my feet up reasonably before the meeting :eek:

    I haven't even had a nap.

    I wouldn't say I feel like running a marathon, but is am awake, and ok. I didn't just scrape through today on the basics, dogs had better day time walks, I put a wash on, but before that, I cleaned to detergent drawer for it and the seals and front, so ...just doing those little bits extra that aren't 'arduous' but are beyond basic scraping through.
