    Hey KP, having a major catch up with the diaries and to my shame I havent posted on yours since Feb :eek::eek: Sorry for being a crap diary keeper upper :o xx

    So to recap from my catch up :-

    a) Well done on the quilt, it looks amazing and I defintely believe there was another force present that made it fit perfectly for your Mums bed.

    b) Sorry to hear Isoke was poorly and hope she is completely recovered now

    c) Glad to hear Weezl's bubba is here safely. What did she have?

    d) Hope you are taking time out for yourself, you have had a stressful time and you will take time to recover. You will be a stronger person for it and I have every faith that even if the path you must take is not clear now, one day you will look back and it will all make sense. :A(thats my theory and I am sticking to it :rotfl:)

    Have a hug for good measure x x x x x

    Dont worry penguin...sometimes its just like that! Thanks for encouragements...Isoke is better but does seem to go off food alot but am yet to suss if thats because she knows she'll get nicer food if she leaves the tinned....wouldnt put it past her!!
    Im just taking it gently..no option really as continue to have nightmares and am mid swapping meds so its one day at a time for me! Not a great month for spending as felt the need for "projects"...It is a stressful time and likely to be so for quite a while yet...am trying to be positive but after 7 months its difficult! I will look back and see it as a positive - always have in the past with difficult things - but just hard when going through it as so much uncertainty and am unable to plan...didnt realise until now that planning/goals important to me lol!! Anyway friends continue to be lovely and supportive and Im trying to make the best of it....
    Weezl had a boy called Kester who is beautiful and quite different from Ferg so both gorgeous in their own way! I did the night feeds on Turs so had my bit of quiet bonding then...
    So today Im venturing out! Have been home (aside from gp) since Fri with poorly throat so feeling a bit stir crazy!

    Faith restored...went out to discover note on car along with rather large scratch and dent! Thankfully an honest bloke hit it, admitted liability and insurance co will sort it out! Minor hassle but they will collect my car, give me a courtesy car and fix my baby! Also had a nice potter in town/library and now set to snooze and chill before knitting group!

  • Glad to hear it about the car ISOM :) Hope it gets sorted soon.
    Mr.B has been borrowing mine, while i have been off for Easter Hols :( I enjoy walking but it is no good when you have to lug shopping in this weather :) So i will go out later- i could do an online shop, but i like to spot in store bargains and reduced items- ever MSE stamped through me now!

    I have just walked all over our town today so not to shabby on the exercise front, i visited my gran for a bit and then came back. So feel like a snooze myself. Especially as i was up late last night then was woken at an ungodly hour by dumb washing machine engineer.

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Well a funny day here...saw a friend who helped me dig the allotment (little and often is the way to go me thinks) and then had hair cut (now much shorter and more layered) and picked up stuff from freecycle lady for knitting group. Came home to a letter from w*** saying my post has been regraded and I have gone up two increments...didnt know whether to laugh or cry!! New tabs today and praying these help...
    Spend wise not a great month and some slippage, mainly due to feeling quite low but am trying to think on the plusses as much as I can...also dd my first home violin lesson...strangled cat anyone!! Would say keeps me out of mischief ...tryig to learn how to read music but its hard going ...almost lke a new language!

    thanks taxi...bizarre getting things in the post when usually it would have been a hot topic of conversation...never mind...one day!
    Nice slow day today just changing sheets, doing my blanket for Ferg (crochet hexagons) and doing my nails! Sociable day tomorrow as meeting a friend for coffee!!
