      Will finish this tonight as have Toddlers shortly

      Well packed DS1 and Ds2 off to school on Monday and have DS2 home again today,what a day yesterday was,I went shopping in the nmorning got back at 2.30pm DD1 told me baby Ds first injections were at 4pm and I had to go as she couldnt hold her while they were being done (hugely needlephobic) got back at 5pm
      walked in to DS2 screaming in pain with a thumb 5 times the size it should be:eek::eek:

      It was really infected so back up to Doctors,waited an hour to be seen,then had to catch the bus again almost into Valliland to find a Pharmacy that was still open:mad:
      eventually got in at 8.15pm.I was freezing cold by this time as it started raining and was cold and windy, I only had a strappy top on as it was warm when we left for the injections and I didnt have time to change.
      So he is off school and will have to come to Toddlers now cant risk it getting knocked at school and he cant use a pen as it is his writing hand,hopefully the penicillin will work otherwise it will need to be lanced:eek::eek:

      Sunny here this morning for a change it was like the dead of winter here yesterday.

      Toots I'm just scunnered at the moment which is why I stopped posting. How are you enjoing Fort William ???????? It's lovely up there. Did you go by the rest and be thankful? (I've no sense of direction that's why OH is the driver:rolleyes:)That's some mess there and scarey. We just got through the A9 one time just after Piper was born, we reached Nairn and everyone was asking how we got there, we only just got past before the land slide the travellers who were directly behind us on the road were caught in the middle of it all.
      AnW'smum & Pigpen Glad the kids are back to school and enjoying it. I hope you are too:rotfl:
