    Whilst I had downtime netwise this morning I did some paperwork sorting and shredding and sorted some clothes of W's. Michelle thought some of the clothes might be useful for your boys, give me a shout if you are interested and I'll arrange to drop them off at yours one day (you'll need to PM me your address)

Well I didn't think there was anything wrong with baby but when I got myself up off the floor there was a big wet patch so they had to make sure I hadn't broken my waters and I hadn't so god knows what it was

    AnWsMum I think it'll be end of November, but will get back to you when I know, if not it'll be a January one. Soft play might be a belter of an idea for then actually, get my monsters energy out.

    Bit upset, just found out one of the boys DS2 and DS1 do activities with has passed away, makes you realise how short life can be for some of these youngesters with disabilities. Don't know how, or if I should, explain it to them, DS2 used to like him a lot and has been noticing when he isn't there, will play it by ear I think.

    Been and sorted PC out which came back not fixed, so that's done. Now the left click pad on this laptops gone off, grrr, computers, I want my new one!!! Going over to see Matthew later after school, well his Mam, about computer stuff, trying to get her online.

    Must take something for pain relief, got massive toothache, see I said I shouldn't mention when things look ok financially, jinxed! Ok so pain killers then a HHC 2.15-2.45pm before school run, might not get chance to pop back so hope anyone who joins does well :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Sorry haven't been around this past week, DH was still off from work - he had an extra weeks holiday and to top it all I ended up getting chronic toothache.. doh.gif And the painkillers I ended up taking knocked me out nearly all day..so I think I have caught up on my sleep for the next 6 years..lol. But I am still on the painkillers as the pain hasn't completely subsided but it is almost gone. I have reduced the tablets down to one every 8/10 hours a day. Trouble is when I take them I do fall asleep just after..lol.

    Can someone give me a kick to get myself into gear though, I have been really slack with keeping in touch with everyone even when I am feeling reasonably well.. eusa_whistle.gif And I really don't want to be like this, just can't get the motivation to post anywhere :(

    Have to get myself sorted out soon as we are having the new kitchen installed within the next month and I have to turf/sort out all the kitchen cupboards and put everything somewhere safe. Also my living room is in a state of decoration too and I feel totally despondent with keeping it tidy etc.. At the moment it is a mini beirut but when the kitchen is being done it will be a full blown beirut :( And I am not allowed to touch the living room re the decorating as Dave wants to do this ALL HIMSELF!! ACK!! He said I can do the skirting boards and radiators when he has finally finished the walls - whenever that will be!!
