Anyone feeling really bad/worse now the the warm sun as gone away.
Joints are giving my absolute agony, god this is a hard day

Sorry just had to get it off my chest

Yes me too, I could tell the weather had changed yesterday before I even got out of bed as my knees were hurting so much and I felt really stiff. Also I dont feel so happy when the weathers grotty. I hope the sun comes back.

Absolutely. I've barely left my bed today.

Sue, my eldest's college has a rule that no student is in any circumstances, to do more than ten hours' work whatsoever, and that they would prefer it if they did no more than one day at the weekend (7 hours). They say that with the new AS and A2s, there is too much coursework for them to be out working all hours, as it's not like the old days when everything rested upon one 3 hour exam on a June morning in the Upper Sixth. Your DS's college may well say exactly the same thing - which could be good for fending off toxic comments like that.

Good morning all,

I'm feeling quite "up" today, despite my shoulders and neck feeling like someone has been using a meat tenderiser on them!! I'm waiting for an appointment for a back stabbing (lumbar puncture) but then have no appointments for a whole month!! Woo Hoo!!

Well after being full on for weeks (months even) with appointments (3 on one day alone this week!), we appear to be going into a period of calm with just the odd one or two.

Mind you, it always starts like that and ends up completely differently!

Now need to get eldest's hips seen to, he could barely walk home last night from his friends house as they were so painful but being the stubborn boy/man he is, he refused the lift and finally managed it home and walked through the door with tears streaming down his face....when asked why, he says he is not going to let it beat him.

You having a bad time LW? Hugs to you, sweetie.

I get really fed up with appointments - poking and prodding until I feel like yelling "leave me alone!". A good day for me now is one where I dont have to leave the house.
Saw GP last week and, according to level of infection still present, she thinks it's gonna be another couple of months until I'm clear of the glandular fever - it's been two bloomin months already! But on the plus side, my exSIL arrived late last night to stay for the BH weekend. Love spending time with her, she's a great mate. Lives 5 hrs drive away so we don't get to see each other that often, even if we keep the phone lines buzzing, it's not the same.

Good man!

I know it's horribly expensive, but it sounds like driving lessons would really help from the moment he is old enough to do them. Is there any way you could manage to put some money away each week to book a block of them?
There are some charities which help fund lessons for teenagers as well, which might ease the cost. If he gets all 'I don't want to rely on you', you could always point out that it benefits you, because you don't like driving much in unknown places, anyway, so you could leave it to him...

Thanks CwtA I'm surviving, just very busy looking after little Sidney (I've got him til next Tuesday), failing to keep up with the Flylady lists *rolleyes*, and generally trying to pace myself. Also don't really feel I've anything to say that anyone'd be remotely interested in. (Where's the shruggy smilie when I need him?)

Sorry you're having such a do of it with the glandular fever on top of everything; hope your XSIL and you have a good time, even if it's indoors.

LW - hope you feel better soon. (and anyone else)

LW sorry things are getting on top of you lately, I've got behind with the flylady thing too this week as I spent a couple of days at my Grandparents, theres always another week Hows little Sidney ? he sounds very cute

cwta Im so sorry for you, its not fair, as if you dont have enough to cope with Im glad you've got your ex sil staying with you this weekend and hope she cheers you up.

I think the drive to my Grandparents and back was too much for me, the sacroilliac joint pains back It was worth it to see them both though.
