just seen the dr , figured out what's causing the dizzness.. Labyrinthitis.. weird name hey.. I get it every year around this time, strangely enough.. inner ear infection, unfortunately it lasts for 2 or 3 months, so I'm panicking, as there's not a lot I can do when I'm this dizzy.scrolling on the comp is hard, as is reading It gives me really bad brain fog too, and ear pressure, makes me feel a bit "locked in" my head. .. bummer, .. feeling very sorry for myself especially with foot too

Hahahahaha! The thought of your mum watching Orange Is The New Black did make me laugh, Lambyr. I have seen a few episodes and liked it but I found it too sad for me, it upset me on behalf of the women even though it has comedy too. So my american friend gives me a synopsis of what happens in each episode and I follow it that way, I am sure it made your mum think of all sorts of questions! The L Word next? :rotfl:

Awww, Faerie, that sounds horrid. Get well soon, you.

You get well soon too, Pyxis.

Enjoy the trip tomorrow, Calley! I am glad Lego Man got in touch with you!

My uterus wants to join yours, tea!

I put my set of house keys in a very safe place once, elsien. I haven't seen them for going on 3 years now...

Talking of TV shows I am now 'watching' Game of Thrones. Except I'm not. My american friend is watching each episode from the beginning and relaying what is happening to me as she watches, basically telling me the story. I have discovered that this doesn't trigger me like actually watching tv does and it's a way to keep up with and enjoy what everyone else is watching. I love my american friend, she does go the extra mile for me.

Hi Faerie,

yeah, labyrintitis.

It struck me acutely and still mildly affects me.

I still get dizzy after exerting myself and had to give up the gym as a result.

Don't click on the link until you've read the PENGUIN

I've lost a lot of weight and tried to be active, but the problem of loose skin has reared it's ugly head.

Possibly triggering picture in the following Daily Mail article

I could black my eyes with my bingo wings and my thighs are very much like the lady's in the picture - my thighs are attempting to overtake my knees.

I've been trying to find clothes that not only fit, but flatter and it's been a grim and depressing hunt through racks of sleeveless sun dresses, skinny jeans, crop trousers, floral cigarette pants, vest tops, waistcoats, tank tops and sleeveless coats (???) in every clothes and charity shop I've been into.

I'm also stuck with the question what size am I?

When I was a larger size, I had a limited range of shops to choose from and knew which labels to look for in each shop.

Now I can go into my local House of Fraser and find M/Ls, Ms, Ls, XLs, 16s and 18s in every concession, I have to gather up what courage I have and ask to try it on before I decide.

This is all new.

Stuff which other women take for granted is utterly alien to me and I can feel my face reddening as I struggle in small, curtained, cubicles stressing over hooks, buttons, zips, crossover wrap details and can anyone see me through the gaps in the curtains, whether it looks OK, is it hanging right, do I need a larger size and how do I summon the gumption to ask for a larger size?.

"Does my bum look big in this?" is now a valid question as the fabric stretches over it or hangs off it and I have to decide to go up or down in sizes.

This week I have had a photoshoot for a professionally taken photo to send off to a family reunion, received the photos, picked over them obsessively, made myself pick one and sent it off as a .jpeg, viewed flats, put a deposit down and paid advance rent so that I can get out of my house, put some distance between me and it and try to decide objectively what to do with it.

I have had quotes from removal and storage companies, had an offer from an property developer (thinking about it - inclined not to take it), received my provisional driving licence but can't take my theory before August as all the local test centres are fully booked so the plan to take an intensive course and practical test during my August leave are scuppered and today went looking for something 'nice' and 'smart' for a theatre visit.

I'm knackered.

I thought it would be a good idea to plant up some lily bulbs in peat pots in order to give them a head start against the slugs and snails.

After watering them, the pots grew mouldy and are stinking the house out.

Of course, it's raining out there, so I can't plant them out until tomorrow morning at the earliest and of course, I'll be planting in and will get covered in mud.

And I start my shift pattern again tomorrow night.

I've got the prospect of finishing off all the little, DIY, 'shabby chic' furniture jobs that are hanging around, starting to pack, deciding what to pack and what to put into storage.

I move at the beginning of July.

That's 17 days, nine night shifts, three wellbeing group classes, one trip to the theatre, one singing class, one open day concert and a potential visit from one of my brothers who wants to come up and see the problems with the house.

I'm knackered already.

Wow, you make me feel tired on your behalf, Ginger! Is there time in there to collapse into bed and put your feet up sometimes? Don't exhaust yourself!

Torry_Quine

My inbox is totally empty and the really strange thing is my other folders are not! My provider is looking into it!

Waves_and_Smiles

Eeeeek! Hope everything is ok, Torry! Hopefully it's just a glitch.

WaS,

Thank you. I will then be off to the pub for lunch afterwards LOL!!!

Its me not him. I just can't believe that anyone would be interested in having a relationship with me. Three male friends of mine seem to to have dropped off the face of the earth in the last 2-3 weeks as well. I just think really dumb things when someone I like who has been texting tons then suddenly stops.

He actually liked what I cooked :T was only spag bog. I served up the sauce with pasta that is in the shape of zoo animals :rotfl:he thought that was cool. Proves I am a big kid LOL!!!! if anyone is interested in getting any 59p for a 500g from B & M. Wish I had bought some more

Yours

Calley

I want zoo animal pasta! Of course he is interested in a relationship with you, Calley. He see's the warm-hearted, funny and lovable person we all see!
