I......

I haven't been in here for way too long.

I am now 30, I celebrated my birthday on Thursday.

I was on holiday at the time and most of it was great.

I was rather unwell most of the week.

I ended up calling the emergency out of hours Doctor just after midnight Saturday morning with chest pains to be told no-one could do home visits and that I'd have to make a trip to the drop in centre 15 miles away. With 2 kids, a hubby being sick and me having been sick also it was impossible.

I wonder what the point of emergency out of hours doctors actually are.

Liam wasn't sick. Not that night, he started it two days earlier. It appears that Liam picked up a sickness bug and passed it onto the rest of us.

At least we were at home and not travelling.

I finally got to see an out of hours doctor yesterday morning. I didn't have a chest infection as I suspected but what the doctor called "the real flu".

I am now on antibiotics 3 times a day.

I still have a very tender feeling beneath my rib cage.

I've been so unwell I've lost 4lbs this week which is alot considering I was on holiday and eating too much rubbish for 5 days.

I start a new adventure tomorrow. Slimming World. Woohoo. I've got this far myself, I want to go further. Lets try a new spin on it all.

I have the best family in the universe.

I got some new tatty teddy figurines for my birthday.

One of which was one we've searched for over several months.

It's a limited edition one which we only saw once, even after ebay searches and the like, but we found it.

It's an official wedding one and there were only a select few made so I am REALLY pleased we finally found one.

We found similar ones but they weren't the same. It wasn't even trackable with the normal shop we buy them from as it was a Limited Edition.

These figurines will be staying in their boxes until we get our new book cases.

We have decorated the living room, got  a new tv fixed to the wall and the rest of our wedding money is going on furnishing the living room. We're getting one room just as we want it at a time.

I am already beginning to feel better after 1 day on my antibiotics.

I am, on the whole, a happy little lady. xx
