We have mould all over our bathroom.  I can really recommend the detol mould killer in the green bottle.  You spray it on black mould, it dies, you move on with your life.  LOVE IT!

And added to the shopping list. I've yet to find a spray that really works on our horror of a bathroom and had been scrubbing with bleach every other week, but I like the sound of this!

My IA: I appear to have caught a cold. Arghh.

I made the mistake of trying to scrub, but don't.  Literally spray the stuff, and then walk away for half an hour and come back.  The black that was all over our ceiling was gone.

I always use HG Mould Spray

I don't have much of an issue anymore, yay for dry/warm flats- but this stuff works great!  Just spray on. Walk away. Leave for a while. Come back, wipe off with warm water. Bob's your uncle.

Still anxious, down, close to tears, and generally hormonal for no reason, and have been every day since I last posted about it. It's been a "one day at a time" situation and I'm REALLY hoping the gynae/endocrine professor can help me tomorrow morning.

But on the upside, that sore throat that was brewing seems to have gone away of its own accord...

Oh man, I have been down for the count for a fair few days with a horrible cold/illness...(some overlap on the following) 3 days of depression/weepy, 2 days when I was so tired I could hardly lift my head off the bed and/or sofa, 1 day of sore throat, 4 days of being all bunged up, 2 days of feeling quite light-headed & faint including nearly passing out in Morrisons yesterday during which I gripped the side of the freezer case and stared intently at the frozen chips until I thought I could move again without collapsing into a heap on the floor.  All our weekend plans for the weekend just past bit the dust - going to a beer festival & a long training walk (DH was disappointed).  Went back to work today, but should have stayed in bed as I was feeling feverish & light headed all day.

But feeling better now.  Hope tomorrow is better.  :-\\\\

You need to quit that job Mrs. R!


My parents sent me money for my birthday.  I'm so annoyed because I know this whole cancer thing means dad will probably need to stop working at some point and they will need that money themselves.  I'm so mad, I might just send it back to them.

Thanks all!  :)  Yeah, I do need to quit my job - it's toxic.  :P

I thought about maybe it could be the flu, but it just didn't seem as flu-ish as the time I know I had the flu (a couple years ago).

Getting ready to head for my bed soon, dosed up on Night Nurse.

Still anxious, down, close to tears, and generally hormonal for no reason, and have been every day since I last posted about it. It's been a "one day at a time" situation and I'm REALLY hoping the gynae/endocrine professor can help me tomorrow morning.

I'm normally like that at least 3 days every month!  :P  But a week+ is a long time of it.  Hope you get it sorted out soon.  :-\\\\

I was getting the piss taken out last night for using the word "upcoming" -
Is that an 'American' expression?  ???  I hadn't realised it was.  What's the equivalent then?

I have a Dr's apt this afternoon for my ankle that I hurt last Monday at the gym but not quite sure what I did though. ???  :P  I was supposed to go to the gym this afternoon but I don't want to hurt myself even more if there is something wrong with my ankle. ::)  :P

Flatmate's working from home this week, which makes working from home myself (both because I feel like crap, and to hopefully avoid getting coworkers sick) much less peaceful.
