    Hope you feel better soon.... I've been having a row with my nan's macmillan nurse as she is hopeless. I have total respect for nurses, but not when they are failing heir patients.

    So that's me in a huff for the rest of the day ?

    Hope you soon feel better drifter.

    As for ironing, I don't particularly hate it I just find it a real chore. Especially ironing H's shirts!

    As for me, I'm at work today. Really busy trying to get everything done before Christmas, just grabbing 5 mins to have some lunch.

    Ahh no evil dress wobbles, but as I recall your dress is lovely.

    wedding planning is pretty quite and has been since Oct work and christmas taking up all my time.

    I couldn't find a dress I like so I am getting one made now I am terrified I won't like it so I am just ignoring that until it is time for the first fitting.

    We still have no colour scheme (well a sort of one but I can't make it work in my head)

    On the plus side we have save the dates made by OH (being sent outin christmas cards due to friday wedding)

    and we have a band for evening entertainement.

    What sort/ style of dress are you thinking as an alternative?

    I can totally sympathise with you there sara. I've only ever had one GA and I was ill for two weeks after that; ended up back in hopsital twice! The second time I had to be hooked up to a drip for 24 hours using the anti sickness stuff they normally give to people having chemo as nothing else would stop me being sick. Hope you don't reach that stage!

    Wishing you better soon too!

    apart from the joys of the internet and Jeramy what would help distract you from feeling horrid? I have my duvet and my lovely heated neck soother. And I re read the tell an embrassing story thread from a few weeks ago on here and that cheered me up no end.

    ooo that is fantastic I have seen them lucky old you and deafinately fate with the lady just down the road.

    Sounds like you have nice lectures to draft mark your essay to hooray.

    Feeling a bit better today (well quite a lot) but still off work as don't fancy the bus and train journey it takes to get to work to find out I'm not as well as I think. I might work from home a bit later depending on how I feel.

    So what are you plans for the day?

    Glad you're feeling a bit better, but make sure you rest up!

    I'm at uni later, just finishing my conclusion ready to hand it in later. I baked the uni lot some "stained glass window biscuits" yesterday, so I'm taking them in also. (I may have to use my biddie shopping trolley!)

    I have a tutorial at 11:00, to look over my designs for the epilepsy device I'm designing, as well.

    I know it's quite lick-arse, but I made the lecturers a tin of biscuits too! Haa

    ....I need a shower, but it's SO COLD and I don't want to have to get naked! ?

    Ahh delvesje ironing I think it is at least a task that looks completed when your done plus when I am wearing ironed clothes I feel much better I just find it really soothing it helps clear my head which is usually manic (belivev me I usually think of a million things at once!).

    OLL ooo stanined glas biscuits I love them, we are maing gingerbread for our tree this weekend so we get a double christmas scent whammy.

    ooo epilepsy what device are you designing? I am intrigued, keep a general eye on epilepsy thype things.
