Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Cheers Sparky!

Today has been a NSD :j. Much needed too! Feeling the pinch now til Tuesday .

One of DH's old school friends came to visit this afternoon with his family. They live in London so we usually only see them at weddings etc. He said he could see an improvement in DH since the last time (2.5yrs ago), so that was nice to hear. However, it also proved that some of DH's longer term memories have also been impaired. We thought it was the last 15 years or so that had been affected, but DH struggled to remember some of the stories his mate was retelling from 20years+ ago.

GP has increased DH's 'zonk out' meds as he is waking super early again (3-4am) and rarely gets back to sleep.

Eek SA, don't say things like that :eek::rotfl:.

Had my last counselling session this morning. Disappointed it's come to an end as it really helped and I've found it insightful, but feel fine to stop now as I'm feeling much more myself and that I've dealt with my mountains of issues!! Was going to take the Counsellor some flowers to say thank you (she had been volunteering her time for free), but really couldn't afford them, so took some earrings out of my stash of gifts instead, and a card.

Can't wait to have pennies in my purse again tomorrow!!

Thanks Beanie :cool:.

Yesterday we went to Beamish with the free pass from Mum's work. It was super busy, too busy really, but we had a nice few hours. Took a packed lunch and MiL paid for the kids to go on the carousel etc, so no spends for us while we were there. Not a NSD though, as I did the food shop and paid for chub club.

Lost another pound so 3 stone 10lbs.

DH has been quite vague the last few days. We watched a programme called Young Epilepsy on Monday night and he got very depressed seeing things from the other side.

DS1 is really pushing my buttons just now! Robin, what herbal stuff can transform him back into my lovely little boy from the snarling/angry/tearful/hormonal sloth he has become????

Oh my goodness sam, can't believe you've read them both!! Hope it didn't bore you too much! Please stay out of lurkdom though, I need all the lovely friends I can get .

Yesterday we went to a park in Morpeth. It was fab, sun shining, plenty for the kids etc. Took MiL's dog as she was at the hairdressers so he would have been stuck in most of the day. We took a picnic but still spent £8, as there were bouncy slides etc for the boys and then they wanted doughnuts from a van that was making them fresh (must admit they smelt devine!). I also bought DH a coffee as I'm worried he isn't drinking enough at the moment .

According to the national weather we are the only ones in England to have sun today rather than a weather warning for heavy rain, so ( not to rub it in) we are going to head to the beach and make the most of it. The rain is due with us by tomorrow.
