    I'm alright BOS thanks, tired, I wish I could learn to go to bed at a reasonable time seeing as I'm up at 6 every morning. How are you honey?

    Full of cold and so is Jess.
    I'm keeping her off school again today.

    I've got the doc's at 9.20 to have a look at this lump at the top of my left leg that's obviously pressing on a nerve and preventing me from running :mad:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    omg my childminder is such a sweetheart, she just sent me a text saying she wants to take Amber and Lily out for a picnic with her kids on Saturday to give me a break.

    Good luck at the doctors Linda. Hope Jess feels better soon too.

    Toto, any chance of being able to have a nap through the day? I'm hoping my two might give me an easy day today because I barely slept either.

    Oh that's rotten Linda, both the colds and the lump. I hope the doctor can get it sorted, I wonder if it's a lymph gland or something swollen up, seeing as you have a cold. I hope it's nothing too horrible and easily fixed.

    Other than that I prescribe a day of chilling and chocolate :)

    I might, sometimes when the baby wants a nap in the afternoon I take her for a cuddle in my bed, I love that, she's so snuggly :)

    How's Ryan this morning?

    Hope it all goes well at the docs Linda.

    Not much to report here, have a long boring job to do today, and it still won't stop bloomin' raining! :rolleyes: Ah well, think happy thoughts like the fact I have a four day weekend coming up.. followed by two days at work then another four day weekend :D

    Ryan seems much better thanks, he hasn't been sick, and he's quite calm and chatty. :)

    Just had a phone call to say my car can be fixed tomorrow/Thursday, so hopefully it will stop making strange noises and drinking power steering fluid like there's no tomorrow. I'm pleased, but I also know it's going to cost an absolute fortune....bye bye savings! :o

    And ouch, stomach cramps!!! But I haven't been craving chocolate, and I seem to have lost another pound. MUST be good today!!
