I love the M&S lasagne. I always get a couple when I go. Most definitely worth the 3 syns 
Nice than Quorn I reckon!
Wow £40 for a month?! I think mine would take £60 to fill it, but I never fill it up. Read somewhere you should never fill your tank as the extra weight costs money to carry round. Dunno how much truth is in that! Would fill it up for a long journey like lol. Wouldn't wanna be stopping at every services....although, lotsa coffee x

Bloodly hell Ryby that's cheap, if I'm just using it for work and a couple of trips it costs me £30-40 a week, it costs me £40 to pick my kids up and take them home again to Warrington and we do that twice a month so I probably put in approx £200 a month maybe more. But there agian it would cost me £80 a month on the buses here. x x

Oh guys! I was brave and got my bloods done, but it wasn't good *squeamish alert*
He tried my left arm and poked round for a bit and couldn't get anything and my right arm veins were non-existent. So I very reluctantly let him go in to my hand. Which icks me out even more for some reason. Even though, I have to say, it hurt less and was quicker. But still :jelous:
At least he got me though and it was just one tube this time. A bloody big tube, but just one
We went to a different place this time and it was well swish! And must have waited less than 15mins! Nice guy too who did it for me.
I felt awful when I woke up, really, really bad Rachelle had made me a big mug of coffee and I also had 2 pints of squash - yet it didn't help this time! Think I had 6 pints of squash, a couple of de-caff coffee's, and a Diet Coke yesterday. That's been a big help since a nurse suggested it, but apparently not today. Ah well, tis done for now.
Worried about the 'complicated' blood tests my gp said the endocrinologist will want to do
Anyway, I felt sh*t, the diazapam always gives me the munchies, my Sister had £2 to last her till pay day, so we stopped at Asda and I bought us a picnic lunch.
We had a nice soft, wholemeal oaty long roll thing each with Quorn ham, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, sliced red pepper, salad, and some mayo and sweet onion.
Shared a BIG bag of cheese McCoy's And Rachelle got some Cadbury's and I may have bought a bag of fresh oatmeal and raisin cookies.... 
Dunno what I'm having for tea, but I only have free or low syn foods anyway lol. Although I did buy a 'rustic' wholemeal roll. So ALL the HexB's are mine today - someone donate me an extra couple? And maybe an A too
Ah well, I did have 18 saved syns and stuff. F*ck it
Going out for lunch tomorrow with the new boyf. Think I can probably call him that now? I dunno. Anyway, John. Plan is he's going to meet me at mine when I get back from the hospital - I'll need a shower coz I end up with ultrasound jelly friggin' everywhere! We're going to go for lunch and then a cinema double bill. My idea coz I think I can just about cope with sitting in a dark room for 4 hours and eating yummy food!
God I feel rough Hoping that because I feel so bad my blood results will be crap and they might call me back sooner again. Will see, think they get them in a couple of days. Wish my MRI was sooner
Right, will stop whining. Hope everyone's ok?
Ruby, what car do you have? And Tace that is a LOT! But, like you, I'd be paying over £60 for buses a month and by car I can be at work in 15mins, by bus it's 2 buses and an hour

The World's End and Pacific Rim. He doesn't go the pictures anywhere near as much as I do so he hasn't seen them. And I'm more than happy to re-watch stuff
Not sure I'm ready for "boyfriend", eeep!!

Hey guys!
I'll have to google the Pixo! Not heard of that.
Well, I had my heart appointment today and it was the right day!!!!!!!!!!!! I got called in straight away and it only took about 20mins - was very impressed! The lady was really nice too and we had a bit of a chat.
You know what though? I will NEVER get bored of seeing and hearing my own heart. The cardiac Echo machines are like super ultrasounds, they're amazing! My heart makes an interesting amount of noise lol. I have a very pronounced murmur (obv!) and because of the holes it also 'pops' so does make a brilliant noise and it does make me giggle! Bit scary first time coz you're like "that's not normal!" But it's normal for me. It's actually pretty comforting and makes me smile
But yeah, it sounded normal to me at least. Results will go to the referral Dr asap and my gp I think.
John's coming to get me at about 1:30. Didn't want to make him get up too early on his only day off (he works nights!) and I wanted a bit of alone time.
Gonna get a shower in a bit and get ready. I'm so tired guys. I feel so exhausted I could cry! I'm stumbling round and keep letting my eyes close. But can I sleep? Can I hell....
Oh had an Alpen Light before I left and when I got back had another one with a few cherries, blueberries, a tsp of maple syrup, and an Activia. Wouldn't normally eat before going out for lunch, but I was up early and I'm giving the Naproxen a go so needed to eat.
Not sure what to get for lunch. I think I'm stuck between the veggie burger, half a pizza & half a salad, or a halloumi sandwich. There WILL be cake though! It's why I picked this place, coz I've been twice and never made it to dessert!
It's here btw: Neighbourhood Café Liverpool
It's handily right next to the garage I'm taking my car to next week. So may stop in for a coffee and to read for a bit - maybe even a 'healthy' breakfast. Love the sound of their muesli!
Anyway, cheerio for now guys.
Lotsa love.xx

HEY *tackle hug*
John sounds SO into you that ge wants to take you to appointments and visit after work and stuff- let him! Obviously it would br the highlight of his day to see you omgomg so sweet!!
I know what you mean abouy online stuff- I am really gunny about having work people (especially the people I shoot in Dubai with) on facebook because I mutually hate most of them and dont want them to see all the stuff.I post especially as I lie about being too busy to pick up and drop in equipment to the office- 2hr round journey and costs me.like £5 :s if I tell them I am too busy they send a courier! But then I have to be quiet on facebook so they dont get my recent 'liked' things in my news feed *gulp*
I'm scared sh*tless about people finding me on here! Being careful not to link or mention my and G's photo company on here so that it doesnt come up in a search
All the tests sound crazy as ever :/ glad you enjoyed listening to your strange heartbeat you little weirdo x

Oh guys! Today was lovely but also an unmitigated disaster!
Lunch was really nice. I went with the halloumi sandwich, which was a bloody good choice Got it on wholemeal bread (obv!) and it wasn't too big or thick, so probably good for a HexB. It did have a few seeds on the crust, but it was cut so thin I doubt it mattered. Nice big chunks of grilled halloumi (prob not quite 2 HexA's worth), red onion, some nice salad, and a small bit of potato salad. So not bad there!
No time for cake! We asked the waitress to come back, but she took that long we had to leave for the cinema. No one gets in the way of my films
Oh and I had a Green Bottle sparkling Elderflower to drink.
At the cinema I had a Coke Zero and a black coffee. So no syns.
The Worlds End was even better second time round! I think it surprised me so much first time all my concentration went on the "ZOMG" reaction lol. But this time I had time to look around and notice some more stuff and play 'spot the extra' even more
Pacific Rim is still astounding 3rd time round. I've enjoyed it more and more each time I've seen it. It's getting hard not to join in with the fight moves
But about halfway thru Pacific Rim I started to feel very ill. I was very 'dopey', heavy head, sudden 'smacks' of dizziness, nauseous, and my heart was absolutely pounding!! When it finished I ran to the loo and then walked as quickly as I could to the car (his car, not mine!) and I was almost lying down. Took my heart rate and instead of my normal 70-80 it was over 120! My breathing was a bit shallow and it took a lot to stop me from panicking. We got out of the cinema at 8:30 and we were still sat in the car park at midnight!
My heart did calm down a bit after a couple of hours, but I couldn't sit up properly. Felt like every so often someone was thumping me in the face or side of my head. My arms and hands were twitchy. And it still feels like I have something BIG in my throat - like loads of pressure!
Good on John he didn't rush me or just drive me home and leave me. We talked the whole time and opened up a fair bit too. It was nice actually, but God I feel awful for that happening. I've told him how bad I've been feeling, but he's not seen it. I look so ill today, esp now. Massive shadows under my eyes and really pale and just look horrible
I just dunno what to do about the health stuff. I doubt my GP can do much, I have all the tests lined up, and waiting for the endocrine referral. But I've gotten SO much more worse. Even since last week. I've had one day where I haven't felt a bit worse. Every other day I've felt myself going downhill.
I don't know what to do
I'm really hungry, even though I feel so nauseous, so made a Quorn ham, Laughing cow, and lingonberry toasty. More bread But small 400g bread, so even if I syn that and the other synable bits today I reckon I'm under the 15? All my Hex's too. But yeah, not a bad day considering I thought there'd be at least cake and maybe a burger lol.
Just gonna finish my drink and head to bed. Feel so rough No plans for tomorrow though so can just stay in bed. The only thing I actually have to do tomorrow is sort out the bunnies, esp coz I've not seen them today.
Anyway, sorry for the HUGE update. Just feel really crap xx

Also just checked my bank and they've cut my pay for being off so long :cry: I knew it would happen, but I expected a letter before they actually did it! Think that means I've been off work 6 weeks now. Not sure when the next pay cut comes. Bugger!
I'm feeling really low and helpless at the moment. Just wish I could DO something!!

Sorry to hear everything is so rotten cant believe they arent acting faster on the tests when you are rapidly getting worse! Not sure what to say but *HUG* I feel for you, babe.
Nice that you got to open up with John sweet! He seems like very goof boyfriend material, very supportive and like he will be patient with your health stuff.

What happened yesterday is just the worst version of what's been happening for months now. It was really bad yesterday tho! Odd that I had my Echo yesterday morning and I do wonder if that will show up the stress my heart's been under.
I'll see if it happens that badly over the weekend and if it does I will get in to see my GP asap - can't find any contact info for my referral Dr
It seems my daily overdose of cortisol has begun - right on time! usually happens between 8 and 9 pm.
It was so nice of him to do that. I did tell him how grateful I was.
He told me yesterday that he's had such a bad time with depression that last year was the first time he'd ever been on a date or been in a relationship. Certainly put my mind at ease having not been in a serious relationship for 8 years hehe. Also means we're both happy to take our time and it'll probably mean neither of us feel too pressured.
I opened up a lot about how I struggle to trust people or get close to them and how I'm not overly touchy feely. Hope it came across ok! x
