Are you there stringofswearwords? Have your Mumsnet privileges been revoked as punishment for your error?

I hope it didn't go as badly as you feared.

hey all!
Am still here...just been bit busy!
Am ok. Still feeling anxious etc every so often but am at stage of being able to laugh at self now ( they are still asking me for figures! In the same area! Don't they know I can't add up for toffee yet?!!).

May have lost weight as could NOT eat for about 3 days .

Actually have managed to show that the figures provided by 3 different sources don't always agree on the same measure anyway, so no wonder I got confused [dunce emoticon]
