BiancaCastafiore · 20/07/2008 11:34

lol, yes TMH it was Derailed...not sure how we ended up watching it really but we did! Can't say I enjoyed it, I just needed to know how it ended iykwim. Clive Owen + american accent wasn't a good combo.
Say hi to EHM from me x

EustaciaVye · 20/07/2008 11:52

Hi Guys, I watched a bit of derailed but started to get twitchy so turned it off

TMH - Hope all goes well with the operation. You probably will get sad for what may have been but you are doing the right thing for the family you have ! Good luck.

Good day so far. Have done asda online order for household and dry goods and then we are off to sainsburys later for fresh fruit, veg and meat. Trying to economise a bit (and yes I know sainsburys isnt really economising especially when I'm only going to look at the clothes bits too )

Been on wii fit again. Ruby - are you still playing on it or has the novelty worn off?

TheMadHouse · 20/07/2008 12:05

Ladies - Days out vouchers in the News of the world today and next week. Two for ones etc

I NEED to do it. If I do before I am 35 (Dec) then the surgery is more effective. I know I am doing the right thing.

But thanks for all the support

TMH practical help available here if there's anything I can offer x x

We have been to the park and, Yay! We have a boy who can cycle He's so proud of himself

Lots of stopping and starting practise required but otherwise he's got the hang of it really well

lucysmam · 20/07/2008 16:13

Afternoon all, well lo is ready for bath and bed!! its only 10 past 4 n dont know what to do to entertain her as she's well cranky and doesnt want to play, cant go for a walk either as rainy

wet washing's still sat in basket to be dried and kitchen looks like a bomb site with pots from roast all over it. have kept remains of the chicken for soup tomorrow though (wish me luck!)

MAD I don't know what everyone's on about but sounds serious so hope you're ok, sure you will be, everyone sounds very supportive!

TheMadHouse · 20/07/2008 16:22

Lucys I have a spelling mistake in my genes which means that I have a really high risk of numeous cancers. So I am having my ovaries and tubes removed and then a double mastenectomy and reconstruction later in the year

Oh I Have just spent a lovley couple of hours with EHM and her sister and the lovley Ellie and also EHMs Newphews who is called the same as DS2.

When do you go to see HSM Ruby?

I have been very productive () I decided to clear out my wardrobe, all clothes which were too big are either bagged up for charity or stored in a suitcase ready to sell/get altered....and I now have loads of space in the wardrobe for new clothes (if only we weren't quite so skint )

The whole bedroom has benefitted from a clearout, I did the drawers and shelve too while I was at it

Work tomorrow, then the end of term school disco at 5.
Kids break up on Weds lunchtime, can't wait

MAD thanks for explaining but you didn't have to, I wasn't being nosey. Hope it goes ok though.

Well, I now have a nice clean kitchen, apart from basket of washing STILL!!! staring at me wanting me to dry it and a peacefully sleeping lucy, but i dont know how long that will last [wince at the thought of being up at 1am again!]

Have also replaced numerous batteries whilst tidying the toys this evening so now ALL the noisy ones work for a change

other than that a very unproductive day so better get something done tomorrow.. goodnight all xx

TheMadHouse · 20/07/2008 21:07

Evening all.
I am not great TBH. Was nearly sick last night but it passed. RR Yes i was rather spaced out! Didn't feel too bad when i woke up apart from hungry. I had a cereal bar eventually.
Then later on felt a little bit of mild pain.
Had a bowl of jelly for lunch then had more pain at 2pm. Has calmed down but hasn't gone totally since then. Am very worried about it. As well as being starving hungry but too scared to eat.

I can't be ill this week. DS1 has leavers BBQ and assembly this week (break up Weds) and DD2 is 4 on Friday.

Dad came round at 4pm. Kids were asking all day when he was coming! He stayed until 7.30. Wasn't really long enough. Hit home even more what my DC are missing out on with them living so far away.

TMH Hope everything goes ok.
Bianca Well done for sorting your wardrobe.
Forgotten the rest now!

dylsmum1998 · 20/07/2008 21:21

arrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh my internet is so annoying this week, its really playing up. i typed out a lovely long post yesterday hit send and "internet explorer can not find this page"
just done another one tonight and same thing.
3rd time lucky!!

BiancaCastafiore · 20/07/2008 21:23

awww Tort (((hug))) x x x

tortoise · 20/07/2008 21:27

Just been googling. It says seek medical advice if suffering from prolonged pain more than 5 hrs. I am scared.

TheMadHouse · 20/07/2008 21:42

Tort is there anyone that can come and sit with the children.

TBH you may be having a flair up. Ring the out of hours GP. Gall Blader pain is unbearable and I really feel for you. I was 20 weeks pregnant with DS1 when mine came out

OP posts:
dylsmum1998 · 20/07/2008 21:43

tort sorry your feeling rough. please do get it looked at, my mil had her gall bladder removed a couple of years ago after doubling up in pain on bathroom floor til her fil got in from work, he was on night shift, she was there a long time.

she had had a lot of pain and ignored it prior to this. she was taken to hospital and had hers removed

she says plus side is she can't handle her drink as well so nights out are lots cheaper

Jas · 20/07/2008 21:45

Tort -You can't schedule an illness.I really think you should call the dr and get a medical opinion, and if necessary go in to get seen.

tortoise · 20/07/2008 21:46

TMH No not really. Not in severe pain it is just a dull ache at the moment. Could be hunger pains too i guess, too scared to eat though.
I will go to Drs 1st thing tomorrow morn.

Can't even eat the yummy LDC i made!

TheMadHouse · 20/07/2008 22:04

Tort - try adn eat something really plain without dairy or any fat. ie plain boilled rice. It may make you feel better, but you really need to get this looked at soon. I had the tiny stones blocking my bile duct and it was a real danger to me and to DS1. I HAD to havethe operation and monitoring until I had it.
