long time no blog....again!

Well, quick updates as I havn't been on for almost 3 weeks!

Chop worked so I am now off the pill (hurrah!) and my body is adjusting...had a mini period few days after and I am now grumpy, spotty and had a few headaches the last few days so expecting more soon :( Hopefully then that will be the start of my routine.

Still feeling a little off, though have had a few days when I felt 'human' again. maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel?

My little girl has had an allergic reaction to something, don't know what, and come out in a rash all over her body. I was up last Tuesday night until 6am trying to stop her scratching and settle her. Saw the doc who gave piriton, and they told me it would knock her out...fat chance! She is so full of energy! After waking the next night at 3am for a couple of hours scratching, I went to the chemist to see if they had any advice, not much except to find out what the reaction is to, and gave some E45 Itch relief cream to help alongside the piriton. So far, it has helped a little, well a lot to say we weren't getting much sleep and she now goes through from 10pm til 8-9am these last couple of days! I am taking her back to the docs this afternoon as the rash doesn't seem to be going and it looks awful on her lower body, all blistering. Poor thing. She had a bad nappy rash the week before this and ended up seeing the doc for that too as the usual nappy creams didn't do anything. He gave me some canisten cream for it, which helped at first but now she is red raw poor mite. Doc said that the reaction wouldn't have been to the Canisten as it would only affect the area I put it on. So back to the drawing board....

Off to visit family tomorrow, staying for 5 days with mother-in-law. Will report on how it when when we get home! Shouldn't be too bad, just feel like I am in a strangers house, rather than when I stayed at mums when I felt I could do anything if you get my meaning. She smokes too so come home reeking of smoke! Wonder why I wash whilst there as it doesn't get rid of the stench! Looking forward to seeing my sisters and brother and mum, and my sisters new live-in boyfriend! watch this space!

Right, off to sort out my mountain of washing and clean up and pack!

Still not feeling 'me'

Don't know what it is...

Just wonder if this is how I will feel forever now. Grumpy, tired, fed up, hormonal, one minute emotional, next there is nothing there.

Hubby did his 'specimen' today to see if the chop worked...here's hoping then I can get off the pill and get back to routine and maybe that will help stabilise the hormones!

Well, not much else to report, pretty boring week. Done some scrapbooking, catching up on last years holiday! Still got loads to do, it's just getting the time to do it, and feeling the inspiration when I have the time instead of being too tired to be creative. May do some this afternoon when little miss has a nap...

Need to go shopping...fridge is almost bare, and I have nothing in for tea...
