Icb

Congrtusltions on job security and wii are a lot of funny

Tally outch on the back what painkillers hacd you tried

TallyGrenshall · 18/01/2013 19:22

What haven't I tried lol

I've had co-codamol, diazepam, codeine, ibuprofen, paracetamol, solpadol plus deep heat and deep freeze, hot water bottles and pakets of frozen peas since it first went on boxing day. I fucking rattle! Grin

I'm gonna have a hot bath when OH gets home (have to wait in case I can't get out Blush)

Tortoise · 18/01/2013 20:26

I've still got some pethidine tablets from when I had gall stones. Now they really do the job of taking pain away (and make you all wobbly (Grin Wink )

TallyGrenshall · 18/01/2013 21:47

Oooo I've never had pethidine. I was on morphine when I had my gall bladder out Grin

If I have to go to the docs again, maybe I will get some of that this time. I had 3 weeks on the diazepam so I don't think it would be a good idea to have anymore of that Hmm

OH has just walked in so I can go for a bath now, safe in the knowledge I won't be beached Grin

CheckpointCharlie · 18/01/2013 21:50

Oh god poor you tally YY to being wary of diazepam!
Get well soon and I bet you're not that old!

Tortoise · 18/01/2013 23:11

I was only given cocodamal after I had my gall bladder out. Pethidine was for the attacks I was having before op.
I'm so tired tonight. It's been a looong day.
Hopefully more sledging tomorrow.

TheHumancatapult · 19/01/2013 07:11

We have more snowSad means housebound grumble bitch whine

Tally have you had X-ray or scan to look what the problem is maybe ask stronger co~codmol . Also amitriptine can be used to help relax back muscles mind it just made me sleep a lot
Side note you notice any problems with going to the loo no matter how slight then get yourself to A&E please please don't wait

Tortoise

I have tramdol take occasionally and yup they are the stuff that sends me completely giggdy

Youcanringmybell · 19/01/2013 07:45

Gosh everyone...I wish I had some of those meds!!

Well I wasn't very good yesterday. I had about 2000 cals Confused A fit of absolute gluttony took a hold of me and I didn't care Shock

I have been good all week though and I will be extra careful this weekend to make up for it. Not feeling mega confident about Monday. I expect it will only be a pound or two loss. I just KNOW it is going to take forever to get below the 12's..

TallyGrenshall · 19/01/2013 09:47

Human I've haven't had anything yet, but I am going to go back and ask for them to refer me to physio or something regardless of if I'm better or not because this has been beyond ridiculous now. When I have been, they have always asked me about going to the toilet, so I have been making sure that it's all still 'normal' lol

Youcan If you have been good all week, and plan to be extra good this weekend then 1 days glut shouldn't be too bad. A pounnd is still a good loss!

Youcanringmybell · 19/01/2013 14:23

Oh I feel my resolve fading again. I keep thinking 'what would happen if I had some chocolate...would the world cave in huh??'

Must stay strong. I wonder why some days are a breeze and other are just so damn hard. Today I feel blase about the whole thing.

Schooldidi · 19/01/2013 16:02

My resolve has been non-existent all week. I've had a bit of a fuck it week and am back to working hard again tomorrow. I expect I will have stayed the same this week or possibly put on as I've been really really bad.
Back to it properly tomorrow.

TheHumancatapult · 19/01/2013 16:37

Youcan

Think weather can play a part also how kids behaving and how tired we are I know they all factors that affect me .

Didi

Sometimes we need say fuck it even I Do and I'm going be really pissed of if this snow stops me meeting friend only in uk for few days with work and were hoping meet for Lunch Thursday

My resolve being tested as been baking this afternoon so hot stuff for next week for lunches etc but arghh

Youcanringmybell · 19/01/2013 17:12

Oh atleast it isn't just me..kuckily I havnt got anything really bad in. I have been extra cereal bars and yoghurts...so not the worst but still way over 1000 cals. Currently eating a ww choc brownie.

Days like this are hard - hopefully Next week will be better as I am out of the house much more.

TheHumancatapult · 19/01/2013 17:31

Youcan

Ok do over but not bad good idea nothing in and yup of I'm out house it is far easier

Tortoise · 19/01/2013 18:35

Another fun afternoon of sledging. Hopefully all the trudging up snowy hills has burnt off some calories. I can't see a weight loss though!

TheHumancatapult · 19/01/2013 23:01

Tortoise if turning fat to muscle not weight loss but be inch loss as muscle more streamlined

Been says at of baking here ( apple crumble , vanilla and chocolate marble cake ) fruit bread promised kids tomorrow were make biscuits

Luckily teens hoovering it up but I don't mind doing sweet stuff as my sweet tooth defintley not strong anymore but so not going to do savoury or I'll be eating

Youcanringmybell · 20/01/2013 07:52

Well done Human - baking would finish me off...having said that I might make some biscuits with the kids today - something boring that they can decorate hideously so i won't want to eat them!!

Youcanringmybell · 20/01/2013 08:56

Ok well I won't be eating today!! My nerves will get the better of me I feel....

I am having a whinge

My darling OH messaged me last night with the long awaited plans for his best mates STAG do this June. They are booking a WEEK yes a full WEEK away in a nice hot place. The hotel will be around £300 and then he has to find the money for a weeks worth of food, drink and entertainment.

This is beyond the pale quite fucking frankly. So he asks if he can go, knowing full well I wouldn't want him to go. I tell him I look like the bad person to all his mates and that he needs to decide for himself if he should go.

Cue lots of 'oh I want to go but don't be mad' pathetic whining. I have decided NOT to be the martyr this time. I know if he goes I will be upset from lack of money and the though tof him living it up with some strippers boobs in his face and probably spend the whole week crying.

So tonight I am biting the bullet and saying loud and clear that I do not think he sould go. A weekend would have just been ok....a week takes the total piss. His best mate is an arse. I have been up all night worrying about the friction this will cause. Fucking men need to grow th fuck up.

Tortoise · 20/01/2013 11:41

youcan A whole week is madness! I agree with you saying no. Good luck with that convo.

Dds want to go sledging again! No more snow but think there is enough left to go sledging.

TallyGrenshall · 20/01/2013 13:12

Youcan A week is seriously taking the piss, let alone how much it is going to cost! I am going away for my sisters hen-do in March for 5 days, but it's costing less than £300 including getting to the airport etc, and it's all inclusive so I won't spend much when I get there AND I discussed it with OH before I agreed to go, if he had said we really can't afford it, then I wouldn't have gone. As it is, I've asked for money to renew my passport for my birthday to save some of the cost.

Good luck with the convo tonight

TheHumancatapult · 20/01/2013 14:15

Good luck youcan and a week is taking the piss in sure he not want to watch kids while you laid in sun for a week doing nothing !!

It's s lot of money on booze etc to

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 20/01/2013 15:04

Ooh youcan sorry to hear you've been put in that position. A week is taking the piss, surely dh can see it's a lot of time and money.

Good luck talking to him later. I hope he comes round to your point of view.

Youcanringmybell · 20/01/2013 16:24

I have emailed him to read before we chat on FB later...I basically just put that I have thought about it but that hundreds of pounds for him to sun himself up isn't on.

I just decided not to pull any punches. I think he is a bit off putting me in the position in the first place. He shouldn't feel comfortable doing that anyway. No doubt he will sulk but he can get over as far as I am concerned.

If his mate decides to have a 'chat' with me about it he will get short shrift.

I am of the opinion that if they consider the last few weeks before they get married 'freedom' then they probably shouldn't be getting married. If MY husband believes he should have a 'break' away from us then he knows where the door is. Being married and having a family isn't a bloody job.

Man I need some prozac

TallyGrenshall · 20/01/2013 16:26

I don't have prozac -please consult list above for medication currently available :)

Youcanringmybell · 20/01/2013 16:37

Ok tally...thanks anyway.

I could cry right now. I am the bitch right now. His mate will hate me and my DH will 'understand' but secretly seeth.

Had a really bad day. Really bad...got people having a go at me from all angles today for things that really have nothing to do with me.

Sorry to moan. You all know me on this thread so I don't look like a complete lunatic.
