    DS is watching some quiz on tv - question was what does FA stand for? Football Association isn't what popped into my head first...

    Hmm, I've just had a text saying he will leave me alone.. wonder if that's permanently or just for the next couple of hours :rolleyes:

    Anyway, enough moaning from me... the sun is shining and I go on holiday in less than a week so it's not all bad! :)

    Morning all
    Last week was from hell, last Monday my boiler got flooded with rainwater and flooded the kitchen!! It's only been fixed this morning so no hot water all week!!!! Not been fun strip washing, washing my hair in cold water and having showers when I can at friends houses. DD got washed in the sink several times!!!

    Then last Tues morn at 9am I get a phone call from the hospital to tell me my Dad was admitted at 3am as he was having an heart attack!! He's had a stent fitted and is doing ok. He's back home now with a long list of do's and don'ts, but he's a stubborn old goat and will push the boundaries!!

    I've taking today as holiday as I feel drained and want to sleep all day.... hope everyone is ok xx

    BB - he has only just come round to the fact that his illnessess are psychological. For years he insisted they were real.

    I would NEVER get him to accept the fact that he has any kind of depression - never mind one that is associated with Kerry Katona....:rotfl: sorry Kerry - role model for bi-polar NOT!
    How about Stephen Fry? He's bi-polar, could he associate with him as a very clever, likeable, upstanding kind of chappy?

    Sorry.......being flippant :o

    this seems to emphasise it even more. I really hope he says yes to some counselling, I really do.

    Blimey Tig, that's quite a week, glad your dad is on the mend. You definitely deserve a rest! x
