Shaking in my wellies here but what the heck, it can't be worse than delivering a 10lb 3 oz baby...................I don't think

Thanks for all the good wishes,

XX Jeannine

Good luck for Monday Jeannine; I hope it isn't too painful.  At least you will have it all over and done with and if it works you could have a pain free year.  Take care.

What a horrible time you've been having Jeannine. I hope the injections help. Bear in mind that they be painful but the pain shouldn't last long. I'm a total wimp when it comes to thinks like that so I really feel for you!

Good luck for Monday, Jeannine.  :)

How do people usually read this forum?  I find that I tend to go to the "View the most recent posts on this forum" bit in the Stats section, and read every post that way.  It's why yesterday's spamming was so obvious (and annoying).

Can I just say here to my family

GET OUT OF BED, YOU LAZY BEGGARS!!!!!!!  ::)

I've been up since 6.30am.  I'm not claiming moral high ground here, I'm just a lark by nature.  But I'd like us to get out and go visiting my parents some time this morning.  And everyone else (OH and 2 daughters) is still sound asleep.  I know it's Sunday and they're entitled to a lie in, but surely enough is enough?  ;)

This is another sleeping household. they'll need to get up soon though as we're out for lunch (it's the ancient one's 97th birthday today). Like you I've been awake for hours, but I'm quite enjoying lazily sipping coffee and thinking about all the jobs I'm not doing. ;D

66.66% of them are up now.  Just the teenager to hoik out of her pit I suppose.  Because she certainly won't be doing it voluntarily.  :D

The best of British to you Jeannine.  :-*     ;D ;D ;D

Well she's up.  :)

Not going to start a thread of its own about this, because I know it has the potential to become heated, but I just watched an item on Countryfile on BBC1 about taste testing chickens reared in different ways.

To the surprise of the presenter the chicken that came top in terms of taste and texture was the intensively reared one.  Followed by organic, then corn fed, with free range last.

Regardless of the ethical considerations (if it's possible to disregard ethical considerations, obviously  :) ) I found it interesting that it discounts one of the arguments against intensive farming for chooks - that the meat is poorer quality.

I am veggie now, but before that, we decided to only buy free range meat. it was then that I discovered I didnt like chicken....it was too chickeny! It was also tougher, as the animals had been allowed to use their muscles, whereas intensively reared chickens end up in almost the same size constraints as veal.
, so making the meat tenderer.

Morning Caroline.. XX Jeannine

Morning jeannine,

I really spend too  much time on this site ;D ;D ;D

Off to walk the dog now. Its a bit damp but no rain. The things us dog owners do for a happy pet!!!

Off to mother in laws for dinner then. She makes a lovely meal. Her victoria sponge is to die for  (whereas my mothers cake will kill you!!)

Enjoy sunday dinner everyone. Dont eat too much ;D ;D ;D

Central Heating Boiler went dolally on Friday so been without heat n hot water.   :'( :'(  We are definately soft nowadays with having every room warm nowadays.  I didn't get my shower this morning and missed that, but I am sat here with a leccy fan heater pointing at me.  Why do things break on a Friday night?  Sods law.

Yesterday I decided to strip the wallpaper in the hall ready for my next lot of decorating (getting too old for this lark :)) Decided to have gammon steak with pineapple for a meal, knew I wouldn't have the energy to do a "Sunday" dinner.
Call from next door (daughter) your dinner will be ready at 6pm, boy did I enjoy that meal.
Haven't started on the decorating yet as I have got to take the dog for grooming at 11.30am but back to the grind about 2pm. At least it is a job  I enjoy just can't work at the pace I used to :'(

Hi, I am back from the hospital, procedure 1 hr 40 minutes which was longer than I expected but I am fine..I have ben warned there could be  alot of pain when the local knock out stuff wears of though. They offered me sedation for the procedure but I declined as I didn't want to be asleep half the day.

Oh Jeannine at least that part is over with.  I do hope that you get some release from the pain now.  You deserve it!   :-*
