    Morning .

    Fireworks started when got settled in bed last night so not happy was nearly midnight before Poppy settled proper.

    So much for time off work I am tired .

    Sorry if I been quiet :(

    Got phone call just as tea was nearly ready Friday strange mobile answered it. Man telling me mum had fell (she had been on way home from town and nearly home) on her face he said she was complaining sore neck and had bad cut on nose. He was with his wife who happened to be a nurse.

    They had phoned for ambulance but got told there was a 4-5 hour wait :mad:

    Man asked if I could get to A&E soon as they where taking her. I said yes and A next door took me. Gets to hospital worrying about mum and worrying about Poppy who was locked in kitchen with no noise I don't possess radio etc.

    Gets to mum she had fallen face first on wet leaves :mad:

    Was at hospital til nearly 10pm I think sorry not sure ,

    Outcome to that mums nose wasn't bad but she as broken a bone in her neck confirmed after a scan :(

    She still in hospital with her neck in a plastic neck thing and she having another scan Monday.

    I got home starving and opened kitchen door Poppy flew out to me she was petrified I found out yesterday fireworks had been going off :mad:

    Went mums yesterday Saturday to pick some stuff clothes towel etc for mum and took them to the hospital. She seemed better than she did Friday when I saw her.

    I told her no way was I visiting last night nor tonight . Bro :mad: least I tell you about him the better put it this way we not close and I am not a violent person but he needs a good slap . He visited last night after leaving work early.

    Visiting is open so can go anytime. I will visit mum after work tomorrow and every day after. Glad visiting is open because my work is nearer hospital then my house . Yesterday I was tired hardly slept Friday was up around 4ish yesterday. Had a bit better sleep last night but still feel tired.

    DS was on stand by to yesterday to travel from Liverpool if bro :mad: couldn't visit mum last night. Bro and his gf (who got car) visiting this afternoon/evening, They will call here but have to go home tonight they both have work tomorrow,

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense but tears are streaming down my face writing it.

    AJ knows full story if it doesn't make sense think she will amend accordingly for you :o

    Hey tweets, you've done a grand job there and after all those tears fall away I bet you now feel a lead weight has been lifted from your shoulders, doesn't it?

    If not I'll get the blame as I told tweets to tell you all as it would take a load off. I hope it has worked sweetheart xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Morning guys, can I ask if anyone has any knowledge of memory foam matresses, not had a decent night's sleep for almost a year and been told we need to invest in one of these, have had a quick look on web but there are so many different variations, can anyone recommend one at all? please n thanks.x

    Hi well I've got one and I like it. It was bought from a local shop though. Think I paid about £200. Obviously you get what you pay for but I wasn t going to pay too much even though they are probably better.

    You can get cheaper ones of Amazon etc but beware although it says memory foam only probably the top inch is and not all the way down. These are usually the ones that come in a roll and you have to let them take shape for 24 hours.

    Good Morning all :)

    Oh Tweets Wanna jump in the car and get up there to look after you and Poppy. Sending you huge hugs xx

    Yes, me too. What a nightmare of a weekend.

    Tweets, do try to relax as much as possible today.

    Hope your mum recovers quickly. She is in safe hands with 24-hour care, so you must get a good rest while you can. xx

    The following day I wanted some tissue paper for new baby GS present they had some reduced for £1 so I bought that and had my dispenser ..but when I got home the paper had faded I used 1 sheet took it back told them I had used a sheet but they refunded me £1:)

    Good morning everyone.

    Very sad evening here in Wells. We had a new play park opened on Monday with a great castle and many other great play items. There was even a small area for adult fitness.
    Well this evening somebody caught fire to it and burnt most of it down. It cost £100000.00 and took 3 years to organise and build.
    So sad

    How awful.

    Sorry we had a memory foam mattress, was told it was supposed to keep you warm in the winter, cooler in the summer, paid nearly £2 000.00 for it and it was the worst mattress I ever had, my son has it now, as only managed with it for about a year, we were sweating buckets every night, we couldnt get on with it. Sorry no use to you.

    Tweets, sorry to hear about your mum, wishing her a speedy recovery.
