  • sue That sounds like an excellent plan! Think we shouldn't warn lw first or she might move house to avoid us *g*
    I think you sound like a lovely grandmum the way you play ith your g/s all the time.

    s/e has just left. I was lovely to see her again and meet her son and his girlfriend. She does send her love and says she keeps intending to pop in. She seems to keep herself very busy and I think there just aren't enough hours in the day.

    Whoopee! BB tomorrow!
    I must go, I have lives to ruin and hearts to break :D

    bz are you asleep tonight? hows the bruising/stiffness now?
    wonderful round up there
    you missed lw who made zillions of elderberrywine
    Yes I was sleeping thanks pcl. Was rather drowsy still when I got up and then later on my mind was on other things and we popped to see mil2b and DF's aunt who was there. They'd gotten The Bucket List out from blockbusters so we watched that tonight - any of you guys seen it?
    I just knew I'd missed someone - I wouldn't mind but I'd even thought about Lw and the elderberryflower wine!! :rolleyes:

    Let's hope I sleep decently tonight too :o

    I'm soooo tired but so happy tonight!

    XOH has gone to work away and although he has been fine, I think I just must still feel tense all the time cos it's like a weight has been lifted!

    There is so much going on with the kids too which is knackering me but also making me feel good cos they're doing something productive with their time. It does make me feel happy that they are.

    DS1 Goes on his trip tomorrow. I've looked at the letter and it doesn't say what time he has to be there. I'm now wanting to get him there at 6am just in case they go before school starts! Surely he must have to be there at the normal time if it doesn't say otherwise?

    It would be just my luck to turn up and they've all gone!!

    So glad to see you raeh, just to know you're ok!

    Hope everybody had a nice weekend xxxx

    bz did you manage to sleep again last nigth? ive never even heard of that movie.

    kass
    it would make sense to me that you are tense when he is there, you cant control another person therfore you have no idea what he might do so your automatically tense and ready for action just in case. i would assume its normal time for school if ti doesnt say otherwise, surely they would phone home too if they were ready to leave and he wasnt yet there? woth ringing one of his friends this morning to check if he needs to be there earlier?

    raeh thanks for popping in, its good to know your ok and enjoying being busy.

    jamla welcome back.

    cwta sounds like a good time was had with s/e

    sue your grankids are lucky to have you :)

    Morning all, Ive had to ring the dentist for an emergency app this morning as I think I might have an absess, they've fitted me in for 11.00, Ive never had one before but it really hurts and my gum is red and swollen, Ive tried gargling with hot salt water and Tea tree oil ( not together :rolleyes:) I just hope they can do something today as I dont want to go on holiday with it :cool:

    Kass Im glad your happy and everything seems to be going well for you at the moment, when do you move ?

    Im having problems with the laptop again, it's not letting me click on all links so I couldn't see the wedding suits, although I got on here ok. It will have to wait until after the holiday for now.

    cwta Do you have BB yet ? My ds1 has got one of those wireless dongle thingys, I'd never heard of them before you mentioned them, they sound quite good.

    pcl your living in the wrong place, it's lovely and sunny in the South and I was so hot last night even with the summer duvet.

    Hi I'm new to this part of the forum

    Today was the day that i would find out finally what was wrong with me.

    I have uvitis, have had that for quite some time so used to the shenanigans that can cause, being tested for MS ongoing back still sore from the LP last week.

    And then we come to today, finally saw an arthritis consultant who to my relief said no its not arthritis.

    He handed me a booklet to help me understand Fibromyalgia. omg i have a name, i have waited so long to have a name.

    I've been off sick for almost 5 weeks, finally giving in to the pain and work, due back a week Wednesday but not sure i can, been treated badly, the company already had me down as disabled with the uvitis but really didn't know how to 'manage' me. Having memory problems hasn't helped when they decide to put me on capability, ie how can we get rid of her she isn't up to the work. which my union got stuck into and made them retract it until further diagnosis... (still ongoing with the ms)

    Now i need to decide where do i go on from here, do i take a big step back from reality and quit work and concentrate on getting better? work was/is stressing me and i feel so depressed thinking about it. benefits?

    What are my options, it seems i have chronic fibromyalgia and the doctor bless him said that i shouldn't expect to get better soon it would take a very very long time.

    And to top it all just got paid today, half my wages are missing, HR said oh thats because you have only get 2 months full pay (i'm part time as it is.)
    Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?
