    Finally we have found a dentist that is taking on NHS patients, so DGD and I have an appointment on the 29th July. So my must do job for today is done.
    Having a bad day today. Carried on from yesterday. Heatpads, medicines for me, and Video's and colouring for DGD today!. Keep thinking its much later then it is. Been up for hours, seems like forever today. DS has only just surfaced and is now hogging the bathroom. We have watched The little Mermaid, now its back to the jungle book. Her absolute favourite. We have had her guitar and drums going, so its been vey noisey play today.

    Re the holidays, was looking at some coach trip things, never considered before, but still think I will wait for her Passport to be done and see about going somewhere abroad later.

    Mooloo, I have been lurking and not posting, as you've been getting such good advice. The Sun are doing their cheap holiday offers ATM, the passwords are being posted on one of the holiday borads, to book online, you might get a nice wee trip somewhere with those. :D

    I will have to see if anyone I know gets a paper, I dont have one out here, and would have to drive to get one. Maybe the petrol station, about 7 miles away?
    Great idea, just as I was looking. :D

    Well I have had the Fostering SW and the Child care SW on the phone today.
    They are trying to put in place all the things that were brought up in the may review.!
    New family safety agreement. The medical consent and the placement plan. The funding for DGD to have some preschool education, and funding and access for Mum to get to me, and or for me to have some petrol money to take DGD to the Stay and Play with her mother.!
    Then the fostering one was telling me that she now needs to come and meet my son. Thats not a problem.
    Looks like the two need to meet, and are aiming to come here on Friday to tie up the loose ends. Both talked about coming on thursday and I said., NO its my birthday and I am going to go out for tea and cake with Molly! (Or go to hers, as she is unwell).
    There is somethings that I draw the line at, and thats Business on my birthday!.

    There is one bus that comes to the village on a Thursday, returns about 3 hours later, that Twin1 could get to come and see DGD, and the cost of that is £4.80. Social will be able to refund that to Twin1 if she keeps the tickets.
    We have to request the bus or it doesnt come this way!. Great facility that one is!.

    My exhusband has been on the phone, to tell me that he is going away on holiday? and that he hasnt heard anything from the SS.
    So he is off, my BF is off, lucky them!.

    Right I better cook our tea while I can still stand, very sore today. Managed to sleep for about an hour when DGD was asleep. But am still not good.
    unusual to start the day and not get better, at the begining cup of tea. Oh well, is not surprising.

    Morning, sitting at my Mums computer, after having dropped DGD at Nursery.
    Hoping that the SW will get us some funding, then I can let her go more often if there is a place.
    I am having my hair done, at 10am. Its a model session that was booked weeks ago, and they keep postponing it. So fingers crossed that it is not today. I am taking my time, as yesterday I was struggling so much.
    If I can cope, I am going to have a little look in the charity shops, as its been a little while since I have been on my own and able to mooch.

    Had a relaxed time at the hairdressers yesterday, it took her two hours to blow dry my hair, was a spiral blow dry, and they have asked me to go back again next Tuesday to have it done again.
    Only got into one charity shop, as my car park ticket was due to run out.

    Not feeling well today, been sick and now have a headache too. So had to cancel visiting Molly again.
    DGD is wearing me out a bit, not helping. DS stopped at his sisters yesterday, so he's not here to help unfortunately. Oh well thats life.

    The OT is coming on the 5th August to see me, yet we have had a call saying that they are coming to fix me the grab rails in the bathroom today? Not sure how that works!
    The post has just arrived with the powerpack for my own laptop, So twin1 can have this one back now.
    Going to lie back down again, on the sofa, let DGD play on the floor for a bit.

    Well nobody turned up to do the grabrails. Which doenst surprise me. Thought it strange anyway.
    The laptop is still not firing up! So dont know whats wrong with it now!. Will have to take it back to the shop we got it from. (well will need to ask my dad, and as I dont have skype on this laptop, I will have to send him a text, and wait for a reply.)

    I am feeling a little bit better, but very jaded arounded the edges! DGD has not slept today, played in her room for half an hour, when she was supposed to sleep.
    But hopefully she will sleep well tonight.

    Waiting for a call from DS, to let me know when he needs picking up. About the only strenuous thing I am aiming to do today. Sitting with a heat pad on my neck. DGD has just put Toystory on the video. Wonder how far she will get into it before she gets fed up?

    Yes the support was the one recommended for Tennis elbow. but I must admit since I had the little car, I havent really used it as much as I should.
    Its a bit itchy in the hot weather too.

    Problem is seeing the stool makes me realise that things are not as good as they should be, with me, and that I will have to learn to adapt. Not going to give in, but too work with my problems better!.
    Overdoing it too often and rollercoasting is not good.

    DS is home now, DGD never really slept today, only nodding off in the car, so I am hoping after her dinner we will get her an early night.

    DS is watering the garden for me. Really need to get out there and weed there are huge thistles growing around my sweetcorn, that were not there last weekend!!???

    I am finally on my own laptop again! yipee. DS got it working for me.
    He put took the battery out then fired it up, and then put the battery back in? or something like that.
    The battery is charging now anyway. so thats good.

    I am not sure I will be able to do the stall this weekend, as I havent made anything else this week. Not been here, or been unwell, not good.
    I think perhaps I will have to call and cancel for this week. But I will leave it as long as I can, just incase I do get a spurt on!.

    Still have lots of ideas to do things, just not the energy! ha:o
