I'm All Alone!

I have a day to myself, everyone is out! Its the first time on my own since well before Christmas. I thought I would be lost but to be honest its been quite nice. I did a ton of housework, now don't fall over in shock, I know 'housework' and 'me' are two words that don't go together. But it was nice to clear, dust, hoover, wipe, bleach and generally find the floor, without it being covered again 10 mins later.
I have stopped now, well can't spoil to much of a good thing!!!!!
I intend to catch up with everyone here, then craft, or buy seeds or veg and watch a movie or whatever.
But first, I shall decorate the blog!
Oh by the way I still have the Red car as the garage haven't been able to get a door yet and will let us know as soon as they have one.

Know Me Inside and Out!

I saw both specialists last week, one for my rear end which sadly after all the ops is still itchy!! She is a dermatologist and I now have pills and creams and washing stuff to using for 28 days, to see if we can break the cycle!! Hhmmm! not sure!

Then I saw the gynacologist, if you recall the 'bum' man said after all his poking prodding and varying ops, that the pain I was getting was nothing to do with the bowel! After the laparoscopy he believed it was my ovaries, now if your squeamish I suggest you go no further as I am going to post the pics that they took whilst inside my body!!! I find them quite fascinating and you can truely answer that you know me inside and out!!!!!!!!!!



It is has four seperate pics but they are all on one photo. Maybe you can see why the bum man thought the ovaries ought to go. They are the white lumpy looking things!
Anyway the gyni-bloke said he would not necessarily rush in and operate and that he may give me an injection that killed the ovaries for 3 months and see if the pain went, if it does he would then take them out! He then did what all us ladies dread and asked me to assume 'the' position and proceeded to squeeze and squash (well thats what it felt like)my ovaries especially the right one which was exceptionally painful and since then I have been in agony!
So back into hospital on Friday with full bladder for another scan followed by an appointment with him after to find out what is to be done!!!

Some assemblance of order shall return to our household next week as hubby returns to work after his hol, its gone fast hasn't it! I gave up trying to do housework with everyone around, so I shall get back ontop of it tomorrow when K and Hubby drive to Worcester so she can hand in some assignments, drop off library books and pick up some more.
The red car goes in for repairs tomorrow so we will be a one car family for about 4 days!

Well must dash, things to do, I will try and get round your blogs this week.

Romantic Candlelight!

We had no electric all day yesterday! Why? Well they where replacing all the poles and cables along our road.
We where toasty warm though and had plenty of warm drinks and food due to our Rayburn! But when it came to light, well that was one thing the Rayburn could not supply!

Back to the trusty candles, the girls agreed it was fun, I think bearing in mind where we live how fortunate we have been not to have more blackouts! It took me back to all the power cuts we used to have in the 70's!


Then it got us thinking, having watched alot of period dramas, as I do love a 'Period Drama'! Thinking specifically of the BBC's Cranford where they limited themselves to just one candle! How did they sew, or read with just one candle as you can see we lit up our table and although it doesn't look like it, we had a good light to read and playgames by!
It does look so pretty too!

New Year, New Me! I Hope!

I fell off the wagon over Christmas (to be expected) but those few pounds I gained, where noticable! My knees complained!! So I leapt back onto the wagon again on the
1st January, full of 'vim & vigour' and raring to go!
I also bought a pedometer, which I started using this last weekend, and its amazing how far you have to go to hit the magic 10,0000 steps. Which I still haven't!
Anyway I promise not to bore you (just watch the ticker at the top) but I just wanted you to know I had started again, set myself a new target and added another 6lbs off this week to get me there.
I'm feeling good, hoping to go swimming twice a week when normality returns to the household.

But.................

and there always is one, I have 2 specialist appointments this week and one of those will confirm if I need another op! If I do that will put paid to the swimming for 6 weeks! But that won't stop me eating correctly! lol

Look Who's Returned!!!

Me. Where have you been?
Box. I can't tell you?
Me. Why not?
Box. Cos if I told you I'd have to kill you?
Me. Charming, after all the care I've given you, feeding you paper, bottles and cans and this is the way you treat me!
Box. Sorry that is the code of the black box, we digest all your rubbish then your never sure where we go with it. Does it go to landfill or for recycling!!!!
Me. Hrmph, then maybe I shall starve you?
Box. Then you will feel guilty for not doing your bit!
Me. I will take it myself!
Box. Adding to your already large carbon footprint.
Me. I see you've got me over a 'blackbox'!
Box. Thats the way I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
