    Dd doing ok - beginning to eat and feeling stronger but still worrying the doctors by bleeding more than expected - waiting for blood test results tomorrow - so fingers crossed and lots of positive vibes please - I am working on the assumption that if she were bleeding too seriously, surely she wouldn't be getting stronger - Oooohhhhh - I hate her being too far away!!!!

    Hearing aids dried out well - better not make a habit of it though - I dread to think how much it would be to replace them as they are NHS ones and didn't cost anything.

    I COMPLETELY forgot my MOT - luckliy with Christmas holidays, visit to London and the snow - I haven't driven since mid December. Getting onto that tomorrow - I couldn't even think about driving without one - I really don't know where my head is at the moment (other than in London with dd that is LOL)

    One good bit of news is that work have been really good - nursery was closed 2 days and they have put the other days as discressionary days - so I will get paid for my week off with dd. I wasn't sure if I would.

    Take care in the ice - still loads of the stuff here!!

    Great news on the wages.
    Fingers crossed with DD that they find out why she is bleeding too much but at least shes eating so that's good.

    Its snowed again - just enough to cover everything very finely - now it's frozen - it is AWFUL - like and ice rink. If I'd have been intended to walk on ice I'd have been made with skis instead of feet -ROLL ON SUMMER

    Yeah CBM - we go out in most weathers - but the in the small side area which has been sanded - we stay where it is safe. LUCKILY.....it has been my turn for staying in and setting up during dinnertime play and the morning session is only about 10 minutes by the time everyone is booted and suited for the cold!!

    I started a refresher course tonight at nightschool - ARRRGGGHHH - not quite sure what I've let myself in for LOL LOL LOL - when we (another lady I work with) told the tutor where we worked she became VERY excited as it has a very good reputation within the area - supposed we take the good for granted and dwell on the not so good - hope we don't disapoint LOL LOL

    DD is still very much the same - on the plus she is feeling stronger and keeping down small amounts of food - still can't account for the small amount of bleeding although tests are coming back clear. Hopefully it will sort itself in next few days then she can get herself home and open some of her Christmas presents etc and get on with her life.

  • Good that DD is keeping down some food and the tests so far are clear. Hopefully they'll find the source of the bleeding soon.

    What is your course in Milann? Sounds interesting!
