Stop feeling guilty, small rant (BENCHLAND) (Part 1)

Well, well, well she says tears smarting from her poor wee eyes, gee golly whizz that WAS ouchy, left side no problem, right front squish horrific:smileylol: right side squish fine…had to come home and have a big bar of chocolate best way to recover!

No first mammo is 18 months after diagnosis, then yearly for the 3 years left, seemingly I have not had one for 2 years??? I thought I had one last year, shows my marbles have really gone…

 

On the “bad behaviour” bench have bought another pair of shoes at this rate will have to have a word with Mr Futon cause will soon have NO space left. The worst of it is that I can’t wear any shoes just now and am still wearing my sandals, only 4 weeks to go hahaha! It’s b***** freezing xx

Whoops NORMAL says who??? xx

I’m on the thrift bench for the rest of the month. :frowning: Spent a ludicrous amount of money yesterday. Sainsbury’s (other…) 3-weekly shop; booked hotel in Norwich for a couiple of nights in half term (not our favourite as it was full, so had to pay a bit more and go elsewhere); return train fare for myself and OH, AND I ordered a new mobile phone as I’m sick of mine constantly whining that it’s memory is full. That was all OK, until I realised it’s still the FIRST week of the month and I have a car service & MOT to pay for before next pay day too. Ooops!! :smileyfrustrated:

Aaaaaaah well JCJ at least you will enjoy your travels, hotel staying and all that malarkey and you have enough food hee hee! If not just ransack the shed, seems to replenish itself daily.

Stayed in for 3 days, out for 2, stupid little toe is now throbbing, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! xx

 

Nooooooo! Somebody tried ti steal our friend Eric (not the puppy)

lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/local/outrage-after-bid-to-steal-eric-morecambe-statue-1-6891068

Put Hump and Dink on to the case - they will catch the criminal and trample him into the sand!!!

 

grumpy and annoyed

Unless the thieves *were* hump and dink??? Wouldn’t put it past them? We all know how Dink doesn’t like to be upstaged by ANYONE!? Do you think they coulkd have managed a saw?? Did anyone check for hoof prints?

Oh noooooooooooooooo, what’s going on???

Has anyone seen H & D?? things are looking mighty suspicious…

Seemingly a MAN has been arrested but authorities would not say a camel was arrested, would they?

Remember first MMU? H & D did hang around Eric a lot, oh dear! xx

Psssssssssst Rita’ll know…

Jumping between the “CBA” and “jittery” benches, every time the postie comes my stomach flips, need confirmation I am NORMAL:smileywink:!

Have a pair of ankle boots I can now wear woo hoo!! Thank goodness bit chilly for sandals haha! Toe is still ouchy? Can you believe it?

Where are H & D? What’s going on? Does anyone know? xx

 

Putting some chocolate and mincemeat (brewed nicely with plenty of brandy since last year…hic!!) puddings and a large quantity of tea near the jittery bench for you, Katy. I know the feeling. I hope postie delivers the “NORMAL” letter soon. 

 

Glad you can get something othet than sandals on now…a bit flippin cold for that?? Hopefully, if the swelling’s going down, it should start to feel less ouchy soon?

 

I fetched my tapoxyfen (heehee predictive text puts that in for me now! :)) prescription yesterday - automatic repeat at chemist every 4 weeks even though 30 tabs in a box - so I’m beginning to stockpile them. Haven’t finished last but one box yet!! Teva again, but I don’t know if that’s a problem because I’ve not started the last one yet!

 

Collapsed on the K******d bench. Long day. Difficult kids and too many things to do in too little time. :frowning: OH out tonight though, so I can recover in peace! :slight_smile:

Ah, so Hump and Dink have an alibi.  Thank goodness for that.

 

Had my eyes tested yesterday and had to sit down on a bench quickly.  It was the " I’ve just paid HOW MUCH for three pairs of new glasses?" bench.  Dearie me, just short of £400 for distance glasses, sunglasses (to replace the ones that were stolen, yes stolen, in August) and a pair to be able to read music. Varifocals were discussed but not felt to be appropriate for me.

 

Just got back from the Drs. today and it’s official, I am falling apart!  Arthritis in right hip and base of spine. Advice is to keep taking the painkillers. As my back book says “get on with it” I will but I reserve the right to moan about it frequently!

 

 

You did well (ish) getting 3 pairs for just under £400, FF, I paid that for TWO! 

 

Moan away, all you like! Arthritis is a pain in the a**e (especially in your case? :p) 

 

I’m on the “should I worry?” bench. Spent all night throwing up…again! :frowning: That’s 3 times in as many months, and I’ve normally/used to have such a strong constitution! Having to have the day off work again…it was a Thursday last time, 3 weeks ago!

 

I do feel a bit better now though, and I’m not in the pain I was the last twice I had “the bug” (?), so I’m thinking (trying to convince myself?) that this time it’s due to the dodgy smelling pork sandwich I shoved down my neck in a hurry yesterday lunchtime. “The pork’s only a couple of days out of date. It’s been in the fridge. It’ll be fine!” In days of old - before BC (and stomach weakened by strong anti-inflamms? - REACT trial) I probably would have got away with it. Won’t make that mistake again!

 

I’m glad H & D have a rock solid alibi - I really didn’t want it to have been them. They are temperamental and mischievous but not evil minded?! :slight_smile:

I think the only thing you need to worry about JCJ is a possible loss of marbles! :smileytongue:  A dodgy smelling, two day out of date pork sandwich?  Sorry that you have been ill but I would definitely blame the sandwich.

 

TWO pairs of specs for £400??  Feel as if I’ve got a bargain now!

 

Hump and Dink are mightily peeved that we could even THINK that they could have had anything to do with the vandalism of Eric. In fact they’ve got the right hump! :smileyvery-happy: Sorry, I’ll go now.

Nooooooooooooooooo JCJ, eating out of date pork??? Yuck, yuck, no wonder tummy was dodgy!

What a price for glasses, so expensive!

This “arfur” malarkey is not good, hope it calms down with your painkillers soon, FF.

No advice for you Ali, hope you are sitting comfortably now…

So it wasn’t them…H & D…are you sure? xx

 

Joey had his cut and blow last week and is now Baldy Dog, Meg is having therapy to remove the notion that SHE is pack leader BUT they have both learnt to use the petdoor. Hurray - no danger of puddles now!!!

grumpy

Sorry don’t know what happened there…

You were just wanting us all to read from the start, grumpy…

So pretty ASBO boy and bossy Duchess!

Almost had a turn there, just came back home from town, hospital letter waiting, lots of trembly hands saw the words appointment Oncology, massive hot flush, sat down read letter properly…cancellation of one appt and another made! whew!!!

Who says waiting doesn’t affect you then??? You’ve got to laugh xx

Phew! These letters are sooo scary aren’t they?

 

Baldy and Bossy? love it! :slight_smile:

 

Update on the sickness: Feeling much better today but still no appetite. Went back to school to discover that 26 children and 2 staff were away with sickness yesterday (there are only about 120 kids and 10 staff in the whole school!!) some of whom had it last time too…  So maybe it wasn’t the pork after all (though I’m sure it didn’t help!) It has certainly made me stop worrying that it’s BC/meds related! :slight_smile:

 

I should be as thin as a rake after all these bugs??..fat chance! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oooh! Exciting news! (Well I think it is! It’s cheered me up! :)) we have a blue tit (I think. Camera on infra red so it’s a black and white image!) roosting in our camera box again! Found myself tiptoeing around the kitchen (box is on outside wall of kitchen) to avoid waking him up! :slight_smile:

Aaaaaaaaah how lovely JCJ:smileyhappy:!

Or do we just call you “skinny” JCJ now?

What a girl will do to lose weight! Putting all those bugs into yourself and eating mouldy pork? Is it better than a diet? Am sooooooooooooo impressed by your ingenuity, well done! xx
