  • Your Edinburgh photos looked lovely :). There are lots of gorgeous places in the UK so it's always good to try somewhere new.

    Well done on the weight loss :T.

  • Happy Boxing day all. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

    We had a nice day with both our Mums and their partners. Sis is sunning herself in Gran Canaria :cool:. The boys got me a lovely charm - I suggested they went into the shop in Edinburgh, gave them my debit card and waited outside the shop for them :rotfl::rotfl:. Not sure I would’ve got anything if I hadn’t done that! I also got enough gin to kill a pirate, and a new hairdryer :T.

    Today has been spent at home just the 4 of us. The boys are playing a card game together in between watching films. Lovely chilled day. Tomorrow is chub club and then more investigations/scans at hospital for me :(.

  • Thanks SA. In amongst all the tests I’ve been having for my gallbladder, they’ve discovered I have blood in my urine, so I’m being sent for more scans/tests. I have some tomorrow and then some more next Friday :( Xx

  • 1.5lbs on. Not bad for Edinburgh and Christmas all in the same week! It was definitely one of the smaller gains in group today!

    Scans went ok at hospital. I’ll get the results from the Consultant next Friday, but the sonographer said my kidneys look ok :T. Lady that did the Xrays didn’t say anything though.

    Today is my Mum’s birthday. It’s my Auntie’s birthday on Sunday too, so we are getting the whole family together for a meal tomorrow. Not good for thr diet, but good for the soul :A.
