The Case of the Poisonous Pringles

Georgia had a lovely birthday party of which I only have a couple of photos so here they are:

Georgia and Ria popping Nana Junes sparkle popper things outside!!

The left overs so you can share in an imaginary slice of your grandaughters bithday celebrations!
I was too busy in the kitchen sorting out food and drinks to take photos!! So much for me being a scrapbooker!!

After I had cleaned the mess away I started to feel sick, nothing unusual there when you have had hot-dogs and birthday cake and a stressful day!! Then I got stomach cramps and I assumed I had a tummy bug because Aimee was poorly and couldn't come to the party.

However nothing really happened I wasn't sick or the other...... ......and after a very long 5 days and nights (at work) with severe cramps, being unable to sleep comfortably and back pain I decided I must have an infection of a different kind so a trip to the Emergency GP confirmed that I had gastritis. Gaviscon and some tablets and I was eventually cured. My massive tummy full of wind disappeared overnight!! I am however literally left with a sour taste in my mouth, thanks goodness the kids didn't eat the crisps.

We have concluded that it was the Sour Cream and Chive Pringles which were totally covered in a thick layer of flavouring that caused an irritation to my stomach. At the time I said there was something wrong with them because they had too much flavouring on them and I was going to send them back to the manufacturer now I definitely am!!! I don't think they'll compensate me for loss of wages and the price of the prescriptions though:(

Mark also paid a trip to the emergency Dentist on the weekend as he had a massive abcess and the poor kids suffered for our ailments.

I plan on making it up to them this weekend though by taking them to Sundowners to see Father Christmas! I can't believe it's only 4 weeks away and I still have so much to do.......really I should spend less time on here and more time doing things!!
