NST April 2018: April Fool's Challenge

LavenderBee

Good luck at the hospital Lauren, I have endo and went private for diagnosis and treatment. If I hadn't I wouldn't be pregnant now as I expect I'd still be on a waiting list! The pain can be horrible and it's quite difficult to talk about why I was struggling. It is a relief to have a diagnosis now; though I'm already wondering how we're going to conceive baby #2!!! My mum has/had it too so I do worry about little one being a girl (there's a 50/50 chance after all ) as she'd be quite likely to inherit it


An NSD here, think that puts me on 15/18.

Thanks LavanderBee they think it might be endo but the scan was inconclusive. However I do have PCOS - I had treatment for my first son and then my second was a happy accident. I am already thinking about a 3rd, but then, if it didn't happen I would still count my blessings- 4 years ago I'd have chopped my own leg off and given it to you in return for a baby:rotfl: Hopefully, when we are more financially ready (hub wants to sign off and I want to buy a house next year) baby number 3 will happen as easily as number 2. . I wouldn't worry too much about your LO, after all both you & your Mum managed to get pregnant & treatments get better and better all the time.

when are you moving into your pad??

This is true, I'm just wondering whether we ought to have #2 whilst I'm still reaping the benefits of my laparoscopy. I won't get another one privately, that's for sure, my private consultant said ideally I'd have it done every 18 months!!! Though I wonder if he was touting for business...

Do you mind if I pm you later about sfa stuff? Sorry I've only just seen your other post. I'm not sure anyone else will be terribly interested in my questions about water bills etc! We still don't have DH's assignment, should be July

Quiet day today, just plodding along at work, got away early and managed to get a decent amount of studying done this evening. Supposed to go kickboxing but am prioritising the dissertation, not much left now.

Today I'm grateful for great travel to and from work and for only having one part of my dissertation left - for this year anyway :rotfl:

Kerry Woman - how much longer do you have left at your place of work?

The website isn't letting me change my signature, yesterday was NSD 13 and today is 14. Tough couple of days - Sunday tidying left everything a bit creaky yesterday but carried on (still looks a mess but determined to get to the bottom of it) and I am being much tougher about what I keep (then panic slightly in case I do need something that is gone). If I have had something for a year (usually something that other people would bin) intending to do something with it and have not got round to it then either I don't want it enough or (more likely) I just do not have the time (and might not be worth spending time on).

So quite pleased with yesterday's progress but not feeling great this morning. Seriously dizzy (real lurching, stomach churning dizzy) - I get slight dizziness quite often (symtom of one of my illnessses, byproduct of the pills or combination of the pills + weather and hayfever, oh joy) but occasionally get a day like this.

Made myself get up and dressed, bought bread and milk for mum and had a taxi from the shop (I had a longer list of shopping but couldn't have walked across town). Dizziness eased towards mid afternoon so I have done a little more work on the raised bed, put the bins out and made a meal for us.

Shoulder and other bits were quite painful so I came home early to take the serious painkillers. Hoping to get a bit more done before bedtime.

Today I am grateful for the rain - the men were out with their little mowers round the library and church and the rain helped damp it down to bearable, for getting some things done in difficult circumstances, for mum trying not to laugh at my struggling to hobble across the room, for good reading material, for a quite day and time to recuperate.

Massacred ants - they were trespassing. Now I am worrying about Karma.

I accidentally crushed a snail on my run :sad: still feeling guilty.

Yesterdays bake sale was very successful, £430 raised I threw a fiver in, but still counted it as NSD as it was for charity.

Drizzly day today, which I love.
Didn't feel like going for a run -but ran. Didn't feel like practicing my sax - but practiced. So a productive day.

Aim for at least [STRIKE]15[/STRIKE] 22 NSDs. 15/22 NSDs. No spends today.
[STRIKE]Pay to your debt first.[/STRIKE]Mums monthly payment made.
Report in every day. Back again
Interests - Gaming. Didn't fancy playing today, but watching others play on Youtube, so good enough for me.
Love yourself. Leftover cake for midmorning snack.
Find time to get outside. Took pup for a walk after work, then went for a run.
Overpay - More surveys.
Organise your month. Nothing planned for the rest of the month.
Lose one bad habit. - Not practicing my sax. I've made a little tick sheet to colour in (green when I've practiced, red when not). Having a tickable run plan worked for my marathon training, so I'm hoping this will be just as effective. Especially as I can see the weeks trickling by. (10 weeks to go!) Practiced today.
Sign off with a gratitude. Today I am grateful that I forced myself out for a run. I really enjoyed it (apart from the snail murder) and my pace is picking up
