    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    List update for me. Ex has been and in theory he's having DD from Friday night until Sunday lunch but AF is here (so I'm another non-pregnant one, if I was it would either be an immaculate conception or I would be showing by now and based on last time we'd be eating vegetarian meals :rotfl::rotfl: ) so I'm really not in the mood to be going out partying or anything. :rolleyes:

    I need my sleep as I've got a major stress headache with ex being here so I'll update/edit my list and then I'm off to bed.

    Oh and my finger is feeling slightly better now but I'll need to change the dressing on it tomorrow as its starting to peel off....anyone want a bet that I'll wake up with it in my hair in the morning :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hugs to pigpen for DS. An unmanaged diabetics breath will smell of pear drops but if you have family history of it I'm sure you prob know that. I hope its not as he sounds as if he has a lot to manage as it is.

    Thank you!! For not making me think I was losing the plot when I thought that!! We tried getting him to pee on one of those sticks.. you know the ones they dip in urine when you are pregnant to check for protein et al.. and he was completely OTT FREAKED by the whole idea.. so I am leaving it to the GP tomorrow.. They have a choice.. 1) an early appointment 2) a late appointment or 3) an emergency appointment.. or home visit.. depending on just how evil I am feeling!! The thing with my lot is they eat small amounts and very often so if he is feeling a bit wappy he goes and eats something so he won't have experienced the low blood sugar thing.. What will I feed everyone and how will we deal with this.. ??? How will he react??...

    *deep breath*Dose of slapped self*slap with wet fish*

    With my sister, her cervix and the baby (that sounded like a book!) and DS2 and his SEN's and this... and hubbys cousin and his lung cancer and imminent death I think I might be about on the verge of meltdown.. so.. I shall go to bed and deal with this in the morning when my brain is functional.. (in theory!).. it may be nothing.. I am SANE!!

    Todays positive.. my debt total is now.. *drum roll*

    :T :D :T :D :T :D £4743... :D.. it is BELOW £4800!!!!!!!! :D :T :D :T :D :T

    Oh please post the link, it'll make v interesting reading, I'm sure.

    I've just noticed your sig. Have you put on lots of weight recently? Because you looked absolutely gorgeous in your wedding pics.

    Thanks! I have put on about a stone, but actually the sig is pre-wedding. I was happy with where i was at the wedding, not skinny by any means, 11st i think, but i'm a bit too heavy now so really need to shift some. the walking has kept it ok but i can't stop eating - i blame my pill!! or my greed...

    ok it's www.getwalking.org.uk but do be aware it'll be loads better by next week...at the moment it looks like my east london area has nothing going on!

    Mudbath I dont do penalty shoot outs either. I dont usually do football despite family being quite football orientated and a cousins son being a player. I do tend to watch big games though. I did want Man U to win.

    Mudbath.. Rach.. so long as it is sunny I can take on ANYTHING.. even SSL... she don't scare me.. She is coming to see me when Hull Sh1tty THRASH whatever girly football team it was she said she'd be watching.. Liverpool I think .. (;))

    *goes to look up the definition of sane in the dictionary*

    sane // /seɪn/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[seyn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
    –adjective, san·er, san·est.
    1.free from mental derangement (well my brain is in the right place.. kind of); having a sound, healthy mind (of course it is.. it is like new.. mint in the box.. never been opened!): a sane person.. e.g Pigpen (see I'm in the dictionary!)
    2.having or showing reason (there is always a reason NEVER an excuse!), sound judgment (I hear thunder), or good sense (feels like a squishy bun): sane advice. (f**k that!)
    3.sound; healthy (I make the same sound as a fresh ripe melon when you tap me).
