    Hey lady just catching up with you,
    \Well done on £30 cashback contributing to your spends. Clever indeed :)

    Yay for potting new coins and feeling like you're on the move again. I love payday!

    And bless your dad. My mum would LOVE coconut mushrooms :D those and liquorice wheels were her absolute favourites!

    I am off to sleep. Trying to time myself to go to bed earlier with the birds.

    Night hun xxx

    Well done for potting some coins Westie!!

    By the way I don't think I've ever tried coconut mushrooms! I'll have to put that right!

    My fave sweets are the chewy Haribo type!

    Hey hun

    I am sorry to hear about your pain levels. I was worrying about you :( have a friend who has scoliosis and is on Oramorph right now and still not getting any pain relief. Harsh :( and so mentally draining when you can't escape the pain.

    Harder for you too as they have closed all the doors in your face ref recovery and that must be hurting you mentally too. Sending big hugs and lots of strength your way. Wish I could tell you to go on my diet, lose some weight, do some core exercises and it would start to get better. It is working for me but we are so different in our issues :(

    Lots of love! xx

    P.S Hummingbird do rectify the coconut mushrooms! They are lovely ;) and I have a big bag of maoam waiting for me for when I can relax the diet slightly!!! I had a sneaky one tonight :eek: but it took me 8 grams over my carb limit for the day. Granted thats still 35 less than the limit I *could* set and so I will remain in ketosis but is not something I want to repeat. I find Fridays a killer. I want to reward myself! xx

    Thanks for the post Lilty,

    I have lost 2.5 stone so there is not much left of me, but I am happy with my weight and love selling all my fat clothes to buy new ones, its a hard cycle as when Im suffering with pain I dont want to go out or move from my bed, but that means that I fall into a bit of a black cloud and find that my pain gets worse.

    those days that I have my pain under control I do try to keep active but then I find I stuggle the next few days... I just dont know what to do for the best, I wil try to get back to the swimming pool as i am desperate to get back to scuba diving, I am shocked that the last time I logged a dive was on my 30th birthday December 2013!!!

    this needs to change, I am jelious that the dive club is off to Egypt this week and normally I would be going with them... thought that after my replacement I would be feeling a lot better by now... but hey I never liked following rules and textbooks... the doctors are trying their best to try and help me but this nerve pain is driving me nuts and causing problems with my health both physically and mentally....


    anyways painkillers are due and my hair needs a wash...

    iil be back in time :)
