    Maybe I'm not quite done with the diary after all.


    OH has been for his MRI and he's also been to see the consultant. He's going to have a nerve block injection and if that doesn't work it will mean an op. This is a really scary thought as he's self employed. Injection booked for the end of September.


    DS1 has had to go back to the docs as his ear still wasn't right and leaking loads of horrible gunk! He has perforated it and now has some drops.


    Speaking of DS1, he dropped a bombshell last week and announced he was going to New Zealand. Have completed online visa and he has made some enquiries into flight times. He aims to work whilst he's out there and has got some contacts. I'm a bit gobsmacked as he won't even go to London on the train, yet he's off to NZ!


    He's going to sell his car to his sister, he's had an offer on his motorbike. He's had a second sheepdog that he has been bringing on and he was sold this week. He said it was one of the hardest things he'd done selling Moss.


    I have finally received a cheque off the council for my alloy it has only taken them 3 months to sort it out. Meanwhile I've been charged interest as I had to put it on cc.


    Up at stupid o'clock because I haven't been feeling well. Think I may have another water infection, judging from the way my back is hurting. Never normally have this problem so any advice appreciated.


    Think not eating healthily is having an effect and really must pull my socks up. Trouble is it's a viscous circle, don't feel well, cba to cook and eat rubbish.


    DD1 has found a uni she wants to go and visit. It's only a 5 hour journey! Have had to get a bit cross with her as she seems to be spending all her time in her room watching crap and not doing anything. I think back to when I was 17 and the things I had to do. Anyway next week she's off to the vets for some work experience.


    DS2 has been helping in the shop and he is proving to be a great asset. He sold his quad bike and bought a go-kart. Honestly this thing is like the green stuff off a shovel. It has an engine on each side and your bum is only inches off the ground. He spent all Thursday sweeping the lane to get rid of the stones, so he could go faster. Then Thursday night, his brother on his motorbike, him on the go-kart and DD1 with her friend in the car were racing.......I decided not to watch.


    DD2 is working. She bought herself a bike, so she could do day shifts, but it is proving to be a bit of a dud. My car could easily drive itself to her place of work and is costing a fortune in diesel but she is making her own money.


    Phew think that's everything but I maybe back. Still don't feel sleepy.

    Sounds like a lot is going on L. I hadn't realized how much your brood had grown up! They do that don't they? Seems like yesterday you were mulling over which secondary school would be good for your dd1.
    I hope your OH's back probkem is sorted out quickly and just with the injection.

    God Lu youve got it all going on at the minute. Hope all goes ok for DH with his injection and hope he doesnt need an op. Kids Ive decided are just here to mess with your head and worry about constantly. One of mine so far is just a real P**A and its the oldest DD god no sense of humour whatsoever and does the most ridiculous things. I guess I'll never stop worrying about her. Im leaving her in charge of things for a week soon while we visit Wales, to say Im nervous is an understatement. Hope things improve and the NZ plans go well. Thinking of you.
