    Beautiful names chewy. Congratulations to you both.

    Gen, you sound much happier today. Glad to hear it went well yesterday.

    Well the prognosis I had was pretty bleak: you will spend the rest of your life in great pain that will get progressively worse and there's nothing you can do about it.

    We've moved from that to a situation where there is a possibility of a non-steroidal drug treatment potentially improving things and physio helping too. Also, if I need an operation in the future there is a very good chance it will be successful.

    We have a private room which is a bonus, but this chair is not comfortable!

    They are two girls, Ella 5lb 10oz and Sofia 6lb. Good size for twins. Both still eating successfully.

    They both have a decent head of hair. E appears to be "strawberry blonde" like OH and S has brown hair.

    They are bloody noisy sleepers!

    Lovely! Thanks for the info. They sound gorgeous. :)

    Excellent news. So pleased for you. :)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    I went to see the Rheumatologist and feel much more optimistic about the future as a result.

    That is good news.

    Very pretty names chewy.


    In other news, I have just given up my job.

    25 years, still really enjoyed it, respected in it. So, not going back.The only person who thought it a good idea to do so was me.
    It seems strange to think I will never be employed again.

    Moneywise I am likely to get illhealth retirement which will leave me financially secure, but I am stopping work even without ill health retirement as this is about life not money.

    My husband is delighted, I have had 4 months of psycho therapy to get me to this , so Iam Ok but not thrilled.

    Plan is for next year or two just rehab, then I will persue some voluntary work I think.

    Somehow I saw this and thought of PN

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/2-slice-toast-n-egg-n-beans-toaster-29-99-argos-2157942

    I wonder if you can do bacon in the toast slots?!

    I have never been a fan of Beanz on Toast. Don't like my bread being all soggy. In fact I like my beanz kept a long way from anything else I'm eating.

    I don't mind beans on toast but don't necessarily want them as part of a breakfast other wise, They ARE a meal really.


    spirit, you know, you are going to make one hell of a difference in the voluntary sector when you are ready. That sector needs people like you. Please remember though, workoholics always can find someway to burn out. When you are ready learn to balance :). You are too precious to so many.
