Frannie - that is fantastic news. OOO Congratulations. What a win!!!
Art - ha ha at the bra (today I actually paid for somone else's petrol so you don't have to worry about being the only batty one around here 
). And how exciting about stimming so soon. You are sailing through this aren't you. I take this as a very very good sign. Sorry you couldn't get that £500 back - could you ring and cry and do the usual 'need to have surgery routine', or have you already tried that?
Princess - hellooooo I feel comforted knowing you are around.
Nelly - hmm yes it's hard to know what to do sometimes, you're damed if you do and damed if you don't with alternative treatments. What I do know is acu is supposed to have an accumulative effect rather than instant.
Mellow - that is a tricky one about the friend who is all about the taking. In such situations I tend to do the same and fawn over said person who is demanding the attention but rejecting my needs also. It's a weird thing. I seem to have a desire to do whatever so that people can't critisize me, even if they are clearly in the wrong. I always think maybe maybe people didn't get my texts / messages or misunderstood the severity of my situation, which I know deep down is wrong. But in your shoes, do what you need to do to make her feel better if that is best for you, but then come here and moan about it to us to make yourself feel better . Maybe consider what you might do next time.
Rabbit - hope you are ok hon? There is a candle on my fireplace with a pretty little light that still burns brightly - that is your light!
Hello to everyone else.
