Hiya Mixel, I popped a couple links in your introduction thread and here's a quote from our Tam who has just been done
quote
I took the usual toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, panyliners, makeup, body spray) a pillow for the way home which was ace, breath spray is a must, moisturiser and lip balm. Pyjamas 1 size too big, gown and slippers. I also had some elasticated trousers for the way home.
Thank you Tam
I hope that's useful

Rache
looking for my mojo
Welcome Mixel, hope all goes well for your op 
Still no house
Getting panicked now.
Gotta go hospital as I've hurt my wrist, waiting for an appointment so I can have tests done, docs thinks it could be either carpel tunnel, rsi, or trapped nerve
Will have to wait and see.
Hospital wrote and told me as I missed an appointment I was now off their books!!! I knew nothing about this appointment!!! The joys of Cov university hospital.
Will have to call as if they've cancelled my phsychologist appointment I will cry
Work is manic, kids are all better packing is going well, so not all bad.
Happy Friday to all for tomoz xxxx

Oh dear Rache - don`t suppose you`ll have a lotta chance to rest your wrist and arm, with all that is going on for you.
Hope you have some luck with your move before too long x
Did you not get a letter regarding your hospital appointment - just thought they should at least have sent you one, if not then how is that your fault for missing it?
Hi Mixel - Welcome and Good luck with your surgery on Sunday, hope all goes well for you hun x
Magic - your surgery is creeping ever nearer; I expect its quite exciting for you now its getting close hun x
Today was a lovely day again - real spring weather at long last after that really cold snowy start to our winter, long may it last!
Hope you all have a lovely Friday! xxx
Love Kat x

No letter at all Kat. The hospital have a bit of a bad rep for it too (figuring it's something to do with getting waiting lists down, just a guess tho)
I will speak to them next week when hopefully my head is in a slightly better place.
I'm not too worried about stopping seeing their dietician as I now see the Heartlands dieticians and really don't need to duplicate those appointments, but after waiting for sooooooo long to get an appt to see the food psychologist I really don't want that cancelling too.

Hello all. Rache you are really going through the wars at the moment. I hope things change for the better soon:hug99:. Thanks for all your kind words about the fires. The place still smells of smoke. Going to have to do something about it over the weekend - even keeping the windows open all the time is not shifting it.
Well today has been bitter sweet. It was announced today that Ming Ellen is leaving - yes you read that right. To say I am shocked would be an understatement. Unfortunately as a result there is going to be a major restructure and they are getting rid of over half the people at my level. So...I have to apply for one of the remaining posts - which is going to be hard.
I am feeling some very mixed emotions right now. Got a lot of thinking to do.

Morning all. I woke up with a terrible headache - which started yesterday morning. I have had to take some painkillers which unfortunately always make me constipated - will have to take fybogel to clear it no doubt.
I am working from home today so about to log on and start my shift. I am still feeling very mixed emotions about the news of yesterday. The very misty day is not helping my mood. Part of me wants to do the happy dance about things but the thought of the dog fight over my job is tempering that. Ming Ellen is taking VR so she is going off with a fat pay off and a nice pension - good luck to her - if I had that opportunity I would probably do the same.
Have a blessed day everyone. Weigh in day tomorrow - hoping for some good losses for you all.

It would not hurt to ask. Emphasise that you are keen and committed to the course and want to do it as quickly as possible while you have the window of opportunity in terms of time with not working etc. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Good luck.

Rache - So hope you sort out your housing dilemma soon x
Tranquil - What a turnup on the job front - so the B***h goes with a lovely sum, and everyone else has to justify their existence! Work sucks at times!
Piratess - Make sure you don`t stop for the choc on the way to work x
As Tranquil says, if you don`t ask you don`y get! Aw no! going from rats to snails - you live the best piratess!
Good Luck with the weigh-in this week everyone xxx

Evening all. Another long day and I am bushed.
Kat I am taking a very philosophical view on this - the one blessing is that she will be gone well before the end of the year and life will become so much easier. The dilemma I face is that there is someone else who could make life even more hell if she gets the post they are going to create and she becomes my line manager. This is the big thing - do I go for the job myself. That is the thing I have to think long and hard about.
Trying to sort out my dinner - cooking another jacket potato - in the oven this time.

Tranquil - with all the hours you have been putting in, why would you not go for a promotion, at least that way it stops other people giving you a hard time.
I would say that you sound up for the job, the magnificant way you have been coping with all your trials and tribulations, and not walking out like a lot of lesser people would have done.
If you feel you could cope and are qualified for the work - then I think you should have more faith in yourself....I think perhaps you lack a little self confidence. But I think it may come back as your weight comes off and you feel you can hold your head up and face life challenges again.
I can only wish you good luck and all the best hun x
Hope you enjoyed your jacket potato x

Jacket potato was lovely Kat and helped me get over the trauma of setting fire to the microwave.
As for work, I think everyone is expecting me to go for one of the new posts. I have my reservations because a few years down the line when they need to cut again, they will be the most obvious posts to get rid of. The posts are at the same scale I am on now so there would not be that much difference in pay. If this woman shows any sign of applying then I will have no choice but to go for it. That means two lots of applications and interviews.
I feel I do nothing but come on this post and moan about my woes. Thanks for being so patient everyone and supportive:thankyou:.
I had to pop to the supermarket after I finished work - twice in one week to asda is too much but I ran out of soup. I put on my most comfy pair of jean which I love and I was shocked as to how loose they were. I had to double check if I had put on my biggest pair by mistake. I had a good look at myself in the mirror - something I usually avoid and I seem to be getting a shape again. I am getting some terrible bingo wings, not sure what I can do about those at my age. My tummy is getting smaller - still huge though but smaller than it was. Got some loose skin around the inner thighs - again not much I can do about that. My ankles and feet are puffy and swollen so still suffering with fluid retention. I am nearly 5 months out and I can see a little change - so that cheered me up.
I am rambling - feel free to tell me to put a sock in it.

Aw TB I wish I had wise words for you regarding your work situation..I am a bit useless for that I think.
But if you can't come on here to get things off your chest, then where can ya xxx
Please continue to share whatever you like, and that goes for all of us xx It's sometimes helpful to reread things in print for ourselves not to mention the fab support from our lovely group here x
I am really pleased that you are getting to see the changes in your body too, Fantastic when clothes start fitting better!!!

Aww bless you Neen...thanks.
I am going to stop worrying about work as what will be will be. Life is far too short. My band is giving me my life back and I need to start focussing on what is really important - work has taken too much away already.
I used to love clothes but since my size became a problem in terms of buying things I fell out of love with them. I still haven't found that suit that I want to use as my measure. You know what, when I get up in the morning I am going to dig it out. I need to have a sort through and see what else I have that can motivate me a few sizes down too.

Morning all, I've woken up with the tummy cramps and the runs today, not feeling at all well. I'm really disappointed as I was supposed to be meeting a friend who I haven't seen for ages and taking our sons for a picnic
Anyway, Rache I hope your wrist is on the mend. Any luck with househunting?
Piratess, did you speak to the uni? What did they say?
TB, well done on the loose jeans, I've had to buy a couple of belts so i can get more wear out of mine as I find pulling them up all of the time so annoying. I can see how Ming Ellen leaving would be both a relief and a worry. I'd be tempted to apply for the post, as you've worked so hard for it, yet I can understand that you wouldn't want the additional stress, good luck with whatever you decide.
How is everyone else today? I hope this lovely weather continues xx
