    Thanks everyone! Nicky 9 months maternity leave gone already :eek:. Beanie :rotfl: it'll be less than grand heh heh.

    Yesterday was a NSD :T. Great start to the month and has helped us get through to tomorrow when we get more funds. We are going out for a meal for MiL's birthday tonight, but she's agreed to pay and we can give her our share back tomorrow. It's happy hour so hopefully not too expensive. We are taking a cake for her too which cost £4.50 with my discount.

    I've been to docs this morning but nothing has been done. GP thinks that as my pain has settled it's not worth poking around, but if it flares up again I'm to go back immediately. My inflammatory markers have reduced so seems that whatever it was is going and that makes sense based on my pain going too. She also said my white blood cells were raised when in hospital which points to a bacterial infection. No one had said that thus far.

    Hopefully that's the end of the pain but annoying that you still haven't got to the bottom of it.

    Thanks all. Cheque banked today and when it clears next week I'll be booking the trip.

    My Sister has been over tonight, first time I've seen her in about 6 weeks. She's full of news about her wedding plans which is lovely to see/hear. It also reminds me to get on with losing a tonne of weight too :eek:.

    How's everyone? Xx
