    Hospital went ok today, but I haven’t been given any results, so it’s still a waiting game. I was there 2 hours while they made me radioactive :eek: and I had to lie still for an hour, then eat the mars bar and milk and lie still for a second hour :cool:.

    I’m amazingly tired for having stayed still half the day!!

    I hate whole milk as I normally drink skimmed and I'm not a fan of mars bars either! Now if they said greek yoghurt and a galaxy bar I'd be a bit more enthusiastic :rotfl: I hope you get the results soon.

    Weighed in some old clothes - stuff not suitable for eBay - and made a mahoosive £1.48. Better than nothing. Last bundle on eBay has a hid on, so will have to get more listed on there too.

    Ordered a couple of Christmas cards from M00nP1g using a 33% off code. It was for the ones that are hard to find in shops, all the rest I buy from the C@rd F@ctory.

    Glad the appointment is done. Hopefully you will get to the bottom of it and get sorted.

    I buy most of my cards from the C@rd F@ctory, although recently the 10 for £1 cards have vanished which is disappointing as they were handy to have in stock just in case.

    SA, the C@rd F@ctory are great, and they’ve been moving with the times. I was able to get Sister and Sister in Law cards from there :T. They didn’t have anything like ‘Mum and they guy who would be my step Dad if you were married but you aren’t’ cards though :rotfl::rotfl:. They didn’t even have Mum & Partner, and I’ve struggled to find those elsewhere too. Special Couple doesn’t seem good enough when one half of the couple is your Mum!

    Another 2.5lbs off at chub club :j.

    Won a £2 Am@zon voucher on one of the survey sites :D.

    Was just dropping off to sleep a bit earlier when DH had a partial seizure :(. He’s fast asleep I might add and is none the wiser, but as per I’m on high alert now and wide awake. Fingers crossed nothing else progresses.

    I’ve been threatening to do a car boot sale for months, but as tomorrow is the last one this year, and it’s been raining hard for like a fortnight, it’s safe to say the pitch where it’s held will be more of a swimming pool. Have admitted defeat and put the pile of stuff up in the loft for the spring when it starts up again. This then snowballed into a clean up for Santa mission. I checked my stockpile of Christmas cards/wrapping paper etc, and it’s pretty depleted :(. I normally buy some in the sale after Christmas, so not sure what went wrong there, but I need more so will have to pay full price :eek:.

    Have ordered a couple of books for DS1 for Christmas from Am@zon, and by ordering them together they qualified for free delivery :T. Used a few of my vouchers from Swagbucks/GFK to help pay for them too :D. Just had a quick count up and I’ve made £110 in vouchers from survey sites this year :cool:.

    Morning Lucky. Hopefully the night passed with no further seizures. Maybe this is why Mr L has been so grumpy lately, it might have been building up to it.

    Well done on the weight loss, you're doing really well :j

    The supermarkets usually do an offer on wrapping paper so cost should be fairly low. I'm glad I bought crackers, paper and tags in the M&S 75% off sale last year.

    Fab voucher haul this year :)

    Hope you have a good Sunday xx
