    Hi peeps

    Thought I'd pop in and say Hi and give you an update.

    Absolutely zilcho flying done this week as have had a carpy week.

    OH still not back at work and has an "interview" tomorrow so both on tenterhooks. Found out the other crew involved with the patient's care have NOT been suspended so less than impressed that OH should be taking the complete can for it.

    Sunday evening I managed to obtain a spontaneous black eye, no whacks, bumps or collisions with cupboard doors or the likes so spent all day Monday worrying whether it was connected to my anaemia. Mon evening docs suggested more investigative blood tests which I've had and still waiting for the results of. This morning while driving into work I became aware of palpitations so checked and my heart rate was running at 180 - 200 and continued like that for 45 mins or more so got the nurse at work to check me out who waited for it to convert to something near normal then sent me home via the docs. More tests and ECG's and sent home to rest and not go back to work until next week as probably all due to stress :rolleyes: .

    So I'll be at home tomorrow while OH is out so might do a bit of 'restful' flying to keep me occupied instead of worrying. Wonder which day of the week I should pick for a light challenge !!!!

    Have only done a quick scan of a few pages but want to say huge well done to Sarahshattered and Pigpen :T :T :T .

    Massive hugs :grouphug: to anyone who needs them and to all you other lovely flypeeps :A
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    WOW What a day:)
    Mad blizzards on way up to belfast this morning, when taking DD to hospital:(
    tailbacks meant that we were 15mins late for her appointment!! But they were brilliant about it......said that they knew we would be caught in it!! 2 hours, 2 consultants, and 6 Doctors later, they said they were so pleased with the new treatment, her hands and ankles were much better, but still causing concern, new steriods for these parts....also a new cream for her face as it has started to look dry and scaley aroundthe nose and mouth:(, So I have a pager number for one of the consultants, who has asked me to ring it if her skin gets bad again....he doesnt want it too, but as Natalya has no problems with the student drs he said it would be good to get her in straight away and show the new Drs what an extreme case of eczema, dermatitis and Icthyosis is....Im okay with that, so is Natalya, he thanked us and the other Consultant asked if there was anything that she could help us with......Yes I said that I was in the process of getting Natalya statemented and we needed all medical evidence for the education board, no problem I will have all letters by monday morning, and if the education board refuse, the drs will not hesitate in supporting me with a tribunal:):D

    After one hospital, DD and I went to see DH in his hospital, lovely visit:) came home and lifted all 3 boys from their schools, then back in the car as they all got a little jealous that DD had seen their dad....they wanted to see him, so we went to the hospital again!!! Bear in mind its over 30 miles away!!Again it went well, stayed for an hour, and back down home again, but we called into Asda and spent another 30 mins getting some shopping in!!
    Then HOME, made dinner, and now im cleaning:)

    WM on
    DW on

    Well - those of you whose get up and go got up and went ***bows low*** my grateful thanks...

    because I have done almost a week in a day.:eek:

    This is what I have done:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    bathroom - full level three; towels in machine to be washed overnight on my Eco 7 :money:
    Hall stairs and landing - level 3 - AND I HANDBRUSHED THE CARPETS ON THE LANDING AND STAIRS PRIOR TO VACUUMING (because I have magnetic carpets which attract hair - mine, DD's and the cats). Cat's basket cleaned and decluttered (she has given up on it) - will save it as will have a kitten one day.
    DS's bedroom - level 2 plus decluttering...things 'put away'.
    PC desk cleaned; pc cleaned, defragged and full scan
    WM x 3
    pegged out
    brought in (snow)
    pegged back out (brought in dry :T)
    Maidenful ironed
    Kitchen Level 3 (Thankyou - my kitchen is cleaned more than it ever was:rolleyes::rolleyes:)
    Dining room - level 3
    Filing - filed - separate file started for CC statements whilst problem solved (will be shredded when problem solved.)
    Walked to post office to post KEY letter (rec del 1st class) to second financial institution I have fallen out with; copy docs all filed ready for shredding (when problem resolved)
    Other stuff shredded.

    DD will do her room - and make a fab job of it.

    So all I have to do now is change sheets (which I do Fridays) and clean my bedroom - go me!:T:T:T:T:D:D:D:D:D

    (I'll sleep tonight:rotfl:)

    Congratulations to both Pigpen AND Supergirlsarahshattered well done you!

    hopefully sewing knitting together!:cool:
    taking DS to football:cool:

    just been to Mr M's - saw smoked trout whoopsied from over £3 to £1.59 but decided to leave it ...
    then had to go back over there as need their cheapy isotonic sport drink (DS is at footy training) and noticed the trout had been re-reduced to19p! So I bought that and some fish fillets called Bala (never heard of it) - 2 packs with two large breaded fillets also 19p and all freezable! Bargain!
