Smurfette1984......the good, the bad & the rest lol

Hello all :D
Well looks like I'm in the clear as regards to downstairs :D Shes reckons it is the depo buggering up my body and has adviced me to come off it as her words were the side effects will only get worse as I get older :(
She has took swabs just to rule out any potential infection which she says is highly unlikely :D
She says if they do come back all clear then I must keep a diary of when it happens again if it does and after a month or 2 to go back and she will refer me to hospital for further tests.
I get my swab results back Thursday/Friday so got to wait and see now.

Food wise been another good day and hopefully despite a high syn birthday meal saturday, I shall still see a little loss :D Shall soon know tomorrow morning :D Wish me luck lol :D
 
Pleased everything seems ok chick :) x

Hello peeps :D Been one of those weeks, both in a good and bad way. More good I must admit thankfully.
My hubby as fallen out with his mum so that's all fun and games lol
Had a quiet mothers day with my mum and the kids x They bought me an orchid plant which a few of my friends found strange especially when my kids are 9 & 7 but originally they were going to buy flowers then my hubby saw the orchid. It does have a significance in my life.
I'll explain.... as some of you may well know my dad died when I was 6. Well when he was still about and it was my mums birthday he would always buy her an orchid and his exact words to my mum would always be ''an orchid for an awkward bugger'' lol x
Well all I can say is I'm touched my hubby as decided to start the tradition again but he's trying to say about me hehe.
So further into week, well yesterday as it happens we get two phone calls, 1 good and 1 bad.
1st call was for hubby and am delighted to say he's got a job interview tomorrow :D
2nd call was off letting agency saying they wanted to increase our rent which is all well and good as the property is worth more but we have asked them to do certain repairs since we moved in 2 years ago and some are still not done.
Anyway all guns ablazing I set off to council to ask where I stand, this then turned into council referring us to environmental health.
Well to cut a long story short, the woman as been on phone to the letting agency and within the hour we had landlord surveying house for a new combi boiler and checking out damp in bathroom so rather pleased now lol
Didn't want to go down that route as I do get on with our landlords parents but they needed a kick up ass lol.
Food wise this week I have stayed on plan and had plenty of speed food so hoping it shows on scales plus walked miles :) have fallen short some days with my water intake but that's something I'm going to change this week.
Really hoping for 3.5lbs tomorrow then anything next week will be a bonus for us going away for easter but we shall see lol
 
Sorry Iv just caught up today. Glad everything is ok :) xxx
