After the birth of dd 4 years ago I had a coil fitted to put it mildly it didn't agree with me. I feel I have wasted the last 4 years of my life trying to battle through and manage the side effects. I put on 3 1/2 stone in 6 months which I could not lose no matter how hard I tried, I bleed for months at a time which lead to feel really run down and over time I became quite depressed. I asked repeatedly for it to be told removed give it 6 more months, I saw a different GP 4 months ago who actually listened to me removed it there and then and put me back on the combined pill. 4 months later I have lost all the weight back down to 9st 11 (aiming for 9st 7 so a 4lbs to go), no longer depressed, period lasting 3 days (which is my normal) and just feel back to being me.
I have bearly any clothes that fit and £1000 to spend so please help me spend it! I haven't been me for so long I feel way out of touch with trends and fashions and at a bit of a loss as where to start. I am 5ft 4 size 8-10 with 32F boobs I have picked up a few basics when been doing the weekly shop, 2 pairs of cropped black leggings, 1 pair denim shorts, 1 pair ankle grazers and 5 plain basic t-shirts all Tesco. I had a bra fitting at weekend and brought new knickers so all sorted there, probably don't need anymore sandles as have 4 pairs of decent sandles, 1 pair Sketchers go walk flip flops, 2 pairs of Sketchers go walk for chasing kids round in on days out and boots I will deal with come Srpt/Oct time.
I have ear marked £150 for a Radley cross body bag and matching purse for our up coming holiday so I have £850 left to spend on clothes plus another £100 put away for swim wear. So please kind mumsneters help me look like me again!
I have a hair appointment Friday for cut and colour, eyebrow shaping and eye lash tint which was budgeted for separately.
Thank you to anyone who is willing to help me.
