    Have deleted what I did yesterday. Worked this morning and sat down this afternoon as I'm not feeling brilliant. DD1 isn't well and was off school yesterday. She's got a temperature/headache thing which is turning into a bit of a sore throat/cough as well.

    Mudbath...gather from the other posts that your DS is picking up. Glad to hear it. Will read back for the details later.

    Ali...HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!:j:j:j:j

    Not had chance to read anything else and I'm planning on having an early night tonight so hopefully I'll feel a bit better tomorrow.

    Hi, clearing out the drawer is on hold while I find a chiropractor......in agony now with my neck....found one just up the road and can't get an answer...not sure if it is shut or busy, so don't want to walk up there till I know......
    Till then I will potter about as much as I can......

    Ouch! That sounds painful....! Have I missed a post about this? What did you do to your neck????

    I'm back from DD's audition - she's happy; I'm a total wreck! It's always worse being the one sitting in the waiting room just praying with your eyes screwed tight and your toes twisted round the chair legs....:rotfl:

    Result not till Dec, so lots of time to forget about it.... Meanwhile I did the only thing I felt competent to do: go and buy socks from M&S while I was in 'the big city'. Ended up buying a new pair of warm pyjamas in their sale (the seat of my old PJs ripped right across when I got into bed last week: STOP LAUGHING).

    Oh. And I forgot the socks.
    :o

    Yours, still jittering

    p.s. great news Alibob: but go easy...

    Alibob - congratulations on your fab news
    Hellsbells, Toochoosey and Sunnygirl & DD - hugs for you all and hope you all feel better soon

    Still not able to fly properly, DS decided to fall off his bike yesterday so ended up at A&E - he is ok apart from looking a real mess, grazes and cuts all down 1 side of his face and he narrowly missed serious damage to his eye [phew] DH who had collected him from school was a nervous wreck though.

    Sorry if I have missed you and you need hugs :grouphug: have one of these if you need or want one

    Catch up again soon

  • Ali Congratulations, that's lovely news, and I'm so glad you could share. :)

    PenPen thanks for making your 10,000th post with us! :)

    Diva and MOJT thanks guys, I am feeling better now. The training today was full on, so my head's still buzzing. I'll be ok though.

    I'm shattered guys. Full on day today. And I've got to go and do parents evening in a bit too. *sigh*

    See you all later
