It wasnt going to be dispatched until Friday due to the option I chose when paying... however... Its being sent tomorrow! Unfortunetely it won't let me save the image in order to show you guys so you'll just have to wait until it arrives lol

OK Well H2B's Gift Tin from me is coming along nicely...

Picked up a mens toiletry set today for £1... its only cheap stuff but he never uses this stuff anyway so I figured there was no point in getting some expensive stuff.


Then I had a lyric photo printed that I made... I only got a small one so that it fits in the tin...


Then I got home to find the keyring from above has been delivered.... The names are our nicknames for eachother btw

I have placed a box to hold the watch into h2b's tin (the black square box).... turns out..... I can't add anymore to it lol.... The picture in it is 8x6 which was 79p in order to show you the size of the tin.... So here is the tin & all of its contents.....

1. Lyric Photo - Because I don't wanna miss a thing
2. Haribo Starmix - So that we never forget the food that brought us together!
3. Haribo Rings - In case you forget the important ones!
4. Mini JD - To ease your nerves
5. Condom Tin - Remember... Safety First!
6. Socks - So You Don't Get Cold Feet
7. Engraved Keyring - So you have no excuse to forget our anniversary

10. Puzzle Piece Ring - You complete me
11. Don't For Husbands -
12. S3x Tips for Husbands & Wives -

ive just ready your thread, you sound so organized, what a fabby idea doing the box :)

It's so close now!! I bet you can't wait

The watch looks great! Hope it fits in the box lol

Oh that's a lot of pages Teresa lol!

Thats it.... the stress is now effecting my health.... I have been so stressed that I have run myself into the ground. I have Sycopla Attacts, it affects me in a strange way.... My eyes start rolling into the back of my head & then I fall unconscious, if I'm unconscious for too long then I can fall into a coma. Well today I sent a text message via a popular app for smart phones to h2b asking if he was "at the yard" or closer to home than that. I started slurring my words via messages as I couldn't see the correct letters propoerly due to my eyes rolling, kept it together enough for h2b to call me wondering what i needed, called a friend who lives on the street.... he turned up as i was trying to navigate the stairs backwards on my knees with a tub full of sweets & the phone! Today was a very close call! I don't know how much longer I could have kept myself awake fighting the attack.... ended up with a mouthful of jelly beans, christmas chocolate, randoms & a mini mint candy cane all in the same mouthful! safe to say it was discusting but at least it kept me awake. think h2b will be making sure hes home on time tonight! Had an old school friend come over to watch me (he was at the friends i called for help) whilst the friend i called collected the kids from school for me.... I'm absolutely exhausted now but its good to know I have a good support system when its needed that will drop everything to help me medically when needed.... was starting to feel like people didnt care until today...... I better not black out on my wedding day! Although have informed my bridesmaid the Lovely Leesa of my wishes regarding this... if i tell her i need some air she will take me away from the crowds via the candy buffet & phone h2b once outside! I dont wanna black out infront of family as i dont want them to worry about me.... especially my kids... its bad enough my 7yr old knows to call daddy if he cant wake me up.

I think the only thing I'm actually worried about now is blacking out at my wedding! It's a day killer... I have only just woken up properly.... I didnt completely black out today I managed to fight it... But it started at about 13:15 this afternoon & its now 9pm. I get married at 3pm so it really will spoil my entire day. I wont be able to say my vows if it happens before as if I completely black out then much as I can hear everything going on around me, I can't respond, I have no control over my limbs.... whilst I'm fighting it I have to keep going cos if I stop for a rest I cant fight it anymore, whilst I keep going I am trying to keep my mind off of how tired I feel. It's really horrible.

As a child I was allergic to 5 different man made sugars as the same thing would happen... I hated having birthday parties as I wasnt able to eat my own party food, couldnt have jelly, couldnt even have baked beans! I got sick of it & trained my body to accept the sugars by weaning myself onto them using chupa chup lollies. I still cant have white or dark chocolate which is a bummer but its a small price to pay. Now it seems that much as it can happen at any time it seems not eating properly, at the right times, getting stressed, having bedroom fun even absolutely anything can set it off & it appears sugar is what keeps me from falling into a coma.... I don't get a sugar rush during an attack despite how much sugar gets dumped into my system & having had it I still just want to sleep but need to stay awake for a few hours at least. H2B will let me sleep in the evening after an attack but only if he's right there & can keep checking my eyes wont roll into the back of my head, if they do he will wake me up & feed me more sugar.

My GP doesnt know why it happens, I have had loads of mri's & ecg's, I have a glucose test kit at home & have been tested for diabetes countless times but so far there is nothing so they have put it down to "Syncope" aka Syncopal attacks. They even mentioned narcalepsy at one point but ruled that out fairly quickly too.

Thanks hun.... like I say I think its the only thing I am worried about now... everything that has gone wrong has been resolved or I have gotten used to the idea.... this is simply the only thing I can think of now.... I'm not even worried if my back will hold out (I also have severe chronic back pain, hypermobility & sciatica) so im not worried about my back even in the heels i will be wearing for the ceremony. its simply blacking out & scaring my Nanny! It would scare her silly, she has never seen me black out before

According to my doctor there are a couple of different types of diagnosis....
1. Evidence taken from test results
2. Where there is no evidence from test results but the issue is still there, diagnosis is based on what has been said/seen.

In my case the tests are not showing any issues. Also the doctor has not seen me in that state. Diagnosis was based on what I said (being that I can hear whats going on around me & I am screaming out for help only no one can hear me & I cant respond to them) & what my partner said (She just hits the floor, is dead weight, eyes roll into the back of her head, take ages to be able to respond & when she does its a slurred whisper, sugar seems to wake her up a bit quicker, the longer it takes to get sugar into her the harder it is to wake her) & from my records growing up as a child where the childhood doctor refused to believe there was an issue & tried proving it by giving me a teaspoon of sugar then having to call an ambulance for me! At one point I got called into the doctors because a "family member" was expressing concerns to my doctor (I never did find out which family member) regarding my blacking out & apparently described the same as my partner. So Diagnosis was based on the description from various people & my medical records not on test results.

So yes I have been properly diagnosed.

I don't need things doing for me.... Today I feel fine, as if it hadn't happened.... A little embarrassed due to having to call my friend who is 8 years younger than me to come help me yesterday... but physically its as if it didnt happen.... Im starting my day on an energy drink & chocolate for breakfast today to try to stop it happening again today but thats just me being sensible & double checking lol.

There's not much left to do really. I have told H2B that Mothers Day weekend he needs to sort the candy buffet stand (only because this weekend he wants to go off roading for something fun for the family before the day. I'm going to knuckle down today & get as much as I can done & hopefully this will be most of the stuff providing I remember to finish my energy drink lol

Don't worry about it hun, I neither want nor need sympathy.... I know its not easy to know what to say & I'm cool with that.

No we are not going away, Its about 30 minutes drive from home there is an off roading place called Yarwell. It's a completely different driving style thats needed, Its really fun & you only need to be insured on the vehicle to get there, you can still drive on the site without insurance so it means that I can drive at the site so long as h2b drives there as its private land & having paid to use it we have permission to do so. It means that we can also take Lovely Leesa in order to show her a different driving style & help build her confidence behind the wheel again after her crash. Its really muddy but its so fun! I hope to do a bit more tricky courses this time though. But its a good day out for the whole family. He plans to help take my mind off the wedding by taking me offroading... to the point he has also been trying to find a sitter for the kids so we dont have to worry about them too.... but the kids enjoy it so its not too bad if he cant find a sitter for the day, the kids will love it either way. We went on an easter egg hunt last year at Yarwell... off roading trying to find the laminated eggs hidden around the site... kids even got a chocolate/smartie bunny at the end of it!

glad your feeling better today xx

Ok that sounds great fun!
Do you have to use your own car? Doubt my little KA would like that lol
