    HELP HELP

    I've just finished all my shopping except for returning the duck to M&S tomorrow morning and my step daughter has phoned wanting me to take her to Toys R Us tomorrow night to get her kids presents. Hate to think where else she will want me to take her.
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I just received this link in an email and thought there are some of you on here who may be interested.

    Also, just to say I thank God that my son, although occasionally having very bad days, has never suffered as much as this young lady. I wish people would understand more though as we have had the doctors who think "it's all in the mind" or that I had Munchausen's by proxy. :mad:

    Anyone heard from Valli?

    Have just spoken to Valli on the phone - she's feeling much better. Apparently her son had something similar recently so it's not appendicitis! Hurrah! She says normal service will be resumed shortly...

    'sob sob' - sorry I am watching the repeat of Noels Christmas Presents as we didn't get to see it yesterday. I think I have gone through a box of tissues, thankfully there is only 5 mins to go. Some of the people that have been surprised certainly put things into perspective when you think about it.

    Now why didn't someone tell me it was going to be a tear jerker..

    Evening lovelies...

    I am feeling MUCH better - probably because I have 'chucked' again and (look away now) more copiously so clearly what was in my system no longer is. I am being sensible and drinking boiled water. I have told the kids I CANNOT go in the kitchen to see to their suppers and moreover they need to wash the toothmug. Dettol disinfectant spray applied generously to bathroom - fortunately DS had a similarly short lived bug a fortnight ago so I restocked:D
    I was kind of worried it might be appendicitis but I could palpate (my mum was a nurse - I think that's the word she used when she meant press down on) the site so I thought probably not - also normal temperature...

    Now off to catch up with thr thread and see what I have missed...
