What a strange week!

Well this week certainly didn't pan out like I thought it would!

Tuesday morning I was woken by excruciating pain in my upper stomach, I'm talking me on my hand and knees screaming in agony! So after ringing the NHS line and been told it would be an hour before a nurse rang back we decided to make our way to the hospital.

After lots of tests and xrays they determined it was gallstones! Ouch. So I haven't been back to work since as they said I needed to rest and David, along with two of my bosses, told me to take the rest of the week off. I just have to wait for some more test results to come back and visit my doctor next week.

It could of just been a one off but if it starts happening on a regular basis I may need surgery to remove it. Eek!

Between that, and a couple of meals out here and there over the weekend I only lost 1/2lb this week, but I'll take that. A loss is a loss!

The only good news I have is because I have been cooped up at home with my feet up it has meant I got some stitching done.

First I stitched my small for the small sal, sorry but you will have to wait to see it though!

Next I carried on with Row Of Cats and I'm pleased to say the second cat is now complete, along with both of their toys too!

I've since pulled out Mini The Black again, and I've done some stitches other than DMC 310! Woohoo! But don't get too excited, it has only been browns and greys haha! I think I am going to continue working on it this weekend and I will post a photo after that :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Turtle Trot - March Report

Good evening!

It's the 10th of March already, meaning it is time for the monthly Turtle Trot report, hosted by Bap Attack! Never heard of it? Well just click this link and all shall be revealed, you can join in too!

Not the best month I have to say, I'm not losing my bug for stitching I just don't seem to have time. This push to lose weight is really eating in to my spare time, as by the time I have gone for a run and cooked our dinner it is almost eight or nine pm once I finally get chance to sit down! But I know it will be worth it in the end. I will just have to make up for my stitching then :) hehe.

This month I worked on only two of the ten projects, and those two didn't really have that much progress either! How well...every stitch counts right?!

First, is Twilight Magic. Here is how it looked in my last report...

And here it is now!

Then I worked some more on Row of Cats, here is the before shot...

and how it looks now.

I think once I get the back stitch done on this second moggy I will feel like I have achieved more on this, so that will be my aim this week to get that done.

Until next month!
