Dusty thanks for asking sweetie - there is still only minor improvement and the AB course is finished so dont know how long its going to take - he is a bit brighter in himself.
greenbee glad they are breaking you in gently - you are going to be a jetsetter then????
boddy hope the work continues to go well - the new place is fab -in the main day room the carpets are a mixture of heather colours and one wall is a plain plum/heather and the curtains are off white with plum tulips - and it has a huge vaulted wooden ceiling -the seating is modern high back chairs in green and some tub type chairs and sofas with high backs in deep plum. there are balconys to go out on - a roof garden - calm peaceful treatment rooms - its great.
soappie - succesful job hunting vibes xx
froddy (((hugs))) you sound a bit ..stressed? is everything ok honey ?
Polly hope it doesnt develop into anything nasty (((hug)))
toochoosey thats such bad luck - new job vibes for your DSD xx
fedup hope tomorow goes well for your last session - you have done really well with it. Sorry but I had to giggle at the rice pudding - that I can visualise - what a mess!!
zoe honey what next - poor wee L - hope the pain eases and he gets some sleep - if they think you need some R&R then get them to help organise childcare - you must need it pet. (((hugs))) could grannies help?

Evening
Didnt do much at all today.
Cleared and rearranged the understairs cupboard while waiting for DH to return from the big school open day with DD (luckily she loved it, and he was impressed too)
Then went and sat in the garden at his friends house while he and said mate lit a bonfire and cleared a patch to make a veggie garden. Best thing I could have done as I took it easy which I wouldnt have done if I'd been at home. Thank to all for asking about the ear - regular dosages of pain killers are helping as was the head massage I had when I went for my hair cut tonight.
I'm back at work tomorrow so will pop in, in the evening.
In the mean time have had a very quick fly through the thread
Greenbee - glad you had a good day
Zoe - big hugs for you and Lewis
Mudbath - hope DS is OK
Toots - thanks for being :A
Hugs and thanks to everyone else just for being part of this thread

Toots, dont ask whats next....please! He's dosed up and fast asleep now bless him. I hate it when they get hurt and all you can do is hold em while they sob. Feel so powerless
I wish Nanna's could help but Jase's mom works and mine lives in australia, i could really do with her here right now! The problem being if i asked them to get social services involved the ex would have to be informed that i was in hospital and it would mean him probably going for an emergency contact order which we dont want or need. Im taking it easy, keeping myself busy with my scrapbooking, and they are tweeking my meds at home. Tbh i would love a little R&R but in reality it would mean Jase having to take some time off work and one we cant afford it money wise, 2, with the ammount of time he's had off because of these growths he'd more than likely lose his job. If things go down anymore the cpns ave their fingers on the pulse, they are comin round every day(grrrr!!!) and monitoring me very closely, and i'll know if i slip any more.
On a nicer note!!!! The new Mac house sounds WONDERFUL!!! Oooo i love the sound of the lilac/purple room! Glad your nephew seems to have perked up a little. I have a little gift for you from Jaimee-leigh(so if you feel comfortable with it pm me your addy so i can post it)we had a chat about you the other day(far too inquisitive) and she is doing a multicultural week at school, and they are doing/making lots of crafty things. I was explaining that you had just had new carpet like us and wanted to make things pretty. She informed me today she has made YOU(grrrrr.not me!!!!!!!:p) 'something' cus she thought it would make things sparkle for you. I shall not tell you what it is...tis a 'prise! Do you want me to post Jaimee leigh with the gift as well?
Thanks for everything hun xxx0
