I'm so tired!!! I was texting a friend of mine at 3am because she was having a bit of a crisis. More than happy to help, but I'm in the vets on a Tues morning and I'm shattered. If I actually look the way I feel I probably look like a zombie. I daren't look :p
Have had a good day though. Decent morning at the vets-watched an op on a gerbil called Custard :D Did a bit of shopping. Came home and had lunch then ran out to the Dr's. Got home and my Sister had walked Dave to go and meet Mum, so I took Ellie over to meet them and we all had a walk round the park :)

Have made some WW jelly (purple sachet) to take to the pics tomorrow. Have put in loads of chopped up pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes :D Really happy with my creation! Now all I need to do is make sure it's still in the fridge by tomorrow night.....there may already be two spoon shaped holes in there tho :angeldevil:
 
Oh that sounds delicious!!

/hugs for all your mum and you are having to go through. I hope that the Dr's can find a way to make her more comfortable!

And Custard is an adorable name for a gerbil!
 
The jelly is my new favourite find. It's the only sugar free type one that's veggie friendly. They're actually really nice :D Have only had the orange one so far, but I have the 'purple' one for later. Smells lovely :D

Forgot to say: Results are back! Ellie has bacterial overgrowth :) I've been given some Clavaseptin to start her on from today and I'm taking her in with me on Thursday afternoon for a quick check and an injection (I think it's B12). He's hoping that the tablets alone will improve her condition a little by Thurs :D

I spoke too soon about her not having diarrhoea tho. I haven't cleaned up the garden for a few days because of the crappy weather, but I have just been out.. She has definitely had some diarrhoea. Not all the poops were bad ones, but most of them were. On saying that, we went out on a walk yesterday and she did a normal poo :rolleyes:

That's it for now. Will update again on Thursday when I've spoken to Alan properly.x
 
I sts again :cry: Can't believe it!! That's 3 weeks now :mad:

Right, I'm checking up on some things that I haven't been sure about and I just looked up the coleslaw I've been using. I was going by the syn guide for reduced calorie coleslaw in the book, which is roughly 2 syns for 60g. But the one I'm using (Morrison's reduced fat creamy coleslaw) isn't on syns online, so I put it into the syn calculator and it comes out at 4 syns per 60g :( How accurate is the syn calculator for products with more than one free food? I just put in cabbage as the free food coz it's the highest % ingredient. I'm confused and annoyed with myself :(

Decided to check my measurements on the Wii My Fitness Coach, because I never bothered measuring myself for SW. I'd only measured my arms and the graph wasn't very accurate/easy to read :rolleyes: So I've taken a load of new measurements and put them in my book, so if I ever have a crisis like this again I can measure myself and hopefully that will cheer me up. It's an idea anyway...

At least I'm finding a few reasons why I'm sts tho eh?!

Took Ellie in to work with me today. She's put on 2kg :happy036: Quite funny that she needs to put on weight and I'm desperately trying to lose it :p She will need B12 injections for 3 weeks and antibiotics for 6 weeks and then she should be sorted :D

Adjusting my diary for syns gone wrong. Gonna use the Syns Calculator result for the coleslaw. So 30g is 2 syns :sigh:
At least I can put right this weeks food and will hopefully get a loss next week. Still kicking myself :eek:
