Well ive not blogged for a while,nothing too exciting been happening inmy life whichin a way is a good thing. My kidney results are good and the other kidney will not be getting removed until after the year now which is great,ive chickened out of getting it done now as i couldnt cope with the after pain like before over christmas so im better waiting and as there is no sign of cancer in it judt lessions i feel i can afford to wait a little.My wild party life didnt last long as the couple of times i was out it took me far longer to recover than the night out itself so im a home chick again,the weathers turned really cold so i guess Billys happy with that! My dads on holiday in Miami,picked the right time of year to go me thinks! ive booked a body shop party in my house on the 17th nov and im using it as an excuse to see some of the friends i havent for a while and hopefully with my commision ill get some cheap Christmas pressies....devious or what!

Ive had two anxiety attacks this week which is about average for me,what i didnt like was one was when i was out looking at a workshop for Billys old boss who is thinking of opening another garage,i sat in the van till it passed but it upset me that it happened while we were out. The anxiety course starts soon so hopefully thst will help.

Ive been reading Debs daily menus for ages in awe so last night made homemade carrot and corriander soup which was yummy and im going to take a leaf out of her book and make something new and exciting (maybe even exotic) each week for a change...watch tis space! Any cheap,healthy ideas more than welcome!

Ive got my yearly transplant check in Dec which im not looking forward to as they check your poo,feels a bit like that bloody program with the mad woman who tells you about your diet through your poo! shit in a box,great can hardly wait!

I get the feeling a storms brewing over Danielle,and i am going to sit on the fence and say nothing at the moment,i do however think she has defo got some sort of illness going on,whether its terminal cancer or not remains to be seen.I hope we havent been duped as i know she has effected a lot of us fighting our own battles with this disease.

Hey Leigh, good to see you blogging again and even better to hear you haven't felt the need cos nothing much has happened....well I don't mean cos you are boring, more that the pain is under control and you are obviously feeling better.

Is there anyone you talk to about the anxiety attacks?

Best you start blogging about what you cook each week now then and we can all have a go.....the soup sounded delicious, I am envious.

LOL @ being devious, thats my girl !!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Leigh,

Lovely to catch up with what's going on with you ..... funny isn't it, how uneventful turns out to be so desirable.

A few years back when I was going though some very stressful life events I too suffered from anxiety - talking to someone certainly helped me and the sooner you can say to yourself, that's okay, this is just how I feel because my body has dumped a load of adrenaline in my system and it just has to run it's course, the sooner you start to get control. A book which was recommended to me was "Manage your Mind" which I found really helpful - no idea if it is still in print though.

Chin up my lovely - I quite often make sweet potato and butternut squash curry which is delish and cheap too. Let me know if you'd like the recipe.

take care

OMG everyone's becoming domestic goddesses around me. I'd better get cracking and have a go. I did make a delicious lemon meringue a few weeks ago that was highly praised at a party we went to, but may God forgive me, I didn't let on that the pastry was ready made. I just accepted the praise!

Pleased to hear that you are feeling well Leigh. Long may it continue.

T....can I have the recipe please. We all love curry in our house. Kev went on an Asian cookery course and he does some lovely ones, roasting the spices and grinding them, but we've never had a sweet potato and butternut squash curry. It would be a nice alternative to a meat curry.
