I like having the favourites separate from the lists. My favourites tends to be things that look really cool but aren't necessarily things I would want to attempt making, if they are I'm happy adding them to both.

Sugar, yours should be winging its way to you. 
I apologise if its a bit tricky to get into though. I was a bit paranoid about the postal service so it very well rapped! Lots a lots of sticky tape used.
This is really cool. I love seeing where people do their creating. Here's my flat (well mine and bf)
Where I keep most of my bits for making jewellery
One of our bookshelves - we both love reading.
Our other bookshelf where all my art, crafty, psychology, etc books live.
And where the rest of my crafty bits and bobs live e.g. sewing stuff, paper, cards, glues, sparkly bits, etc
I love charity shops. When I'm buying things from new I like to go to Zara for tops, la senza for undies and dorothy perkins or next for jeans. I do where skirts too but they tend to come from charity shops. I'm also trying to make stuff myself but just starting small the the moment by modifying old stuff and getting cheap fabric from market or charity shops.
Its been suggested to me that I maybe entitled to DLA (Disability Living Allowance) cos of my mental health. I just filled in the form and it has taken me 3 hours! I've worked on it solidly and have over 6 years experience of working in mental health myself and had all the relevant documents to hand and it was still the hardest thing I have ever had to complete. I think I'd have found it easier to resit all my exams for my degree!!! I'm sure the government makes these forms deliberately confusing so people don't bother claiming. I can't believe there are still people out there who moan about people who are claiming these kinds of benefits - you'd need a medal if you got through it first time. I've still got tons of photocopying to do and I've got to get it to the post office to post as its so big. Then I've got to wait for them to process it and get the money if I'm actually successful.
We also grow our own veg and some fruit so we save some money aswell as helping the environment We don't use any weedkiller or pesticides so its organic too.
Just made and ate vegi tikka massala and it was yummy. 
I live in a flat and we share a small balcony with the rest of the block. My bf put some chairs out a while back and now we have some Passionflower, Sunflowers, Labelia and Sweet Peas. It will hopefully look really nice in a few weeks when they all start to flower
I know what you mean about doctors and making appointments. What I find though is that its not the doctor so much but the receptionist and the appointments policy. I have to see the doctor a lot for my depression and anxiety. When things are really bad I do everything my doctor has told me to do, ring up first thing, say I need to see him asap but they just make me jump through so many hoops that its ridiculous. I've ended up crying down the phone at the receptionist in the past because I felt so bad. I even told them once that I couldn't make a case for seeing him as in my head there was no point and that I'd be better of dead but that I was just following his instructions. I got the appointment but its the last thing you want to do is be pushy when you don't feel well.
Anyway sorry about that. I went off on a bit of a rant.
qfp's - I felt like I didn't want to take meds too but I'd be lost without them. Also your doctor maybe able to refer you to see a psychologist if your straight with them. I do get how hard that is but it may help in the long run. Also the feeling that your doctor acting like your a burden might be the depression talking. Its a really horrible illness and can distort your perception it things. Also you could ask to see someone else. If your GP is male then you can ask to see a female doctor no questions asked.
Michelle, I hope you are feeling better soon and that your doctor gets to the bottom of things. x
Don't worry I don't sit waiting for a baby. At the moment its out of the question anyway cos of meds and stuff. I also love my bf to bits and would never risk what we have for some unknown. I think I could cope if I couldn't conceive but I think he'd feel thoroughly crap and I'd never want him to go through that. Don't get me wrong, its really important but not more important than him. Its a different kind of important, more instinctive or primal or something. Its really hard to put into words :/ Its as if my head is saying one thing but my body is saying something else.
listening to x-ray spex - Germfree Adolescence.
Rainbow - Bauhaus' "Crowds" - one of my favourite songs ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ5DBOmH9T8
Someone else I know has told me that they're 2 months pregnant. Obviously it was hard to hear what they were saying after that. I could just hear ticking...... Nevermind, I am happy for her. She'll make a great mum. I'm just sort of hoping its like a deli counter - you take your ticket and wait your turn. Although I'm also aware (tho only at the back of my mind) that it could never happen or I might not be able to conceive. I've thought about it and talked in the past with my bf and I wouldn't want to find out. I also wouldn't want any fertility treatment. I don't want to be one of those women you read about who are forever taking their temperature and plotting graphs. I think that would be really clinical and I'd be worried that we'd loose some of the romance. I'm also a sucker for love and romance I just hope that if it doesn't happen for me that I have the strength to accept that.
I'm not medical in the slightest but headache, rash, achey joints sound like something hasn't agreed with your body. Now the fun bit - trying to guess what!! Good luck. x
Ooooh =) I've just got some last bits to finish off and then I shall post. I probably won't get a chance till Wednesday as thats my day off. I hope thats okay. x
We have a site in the UK that can be quite good - http://www.nhs.uk/Pages/HomePage.aspx
It has a symptom checker. Could it be an allergy to something? Or a side effect of meds?
