    Afternoon all

    Just switched the computer on so no catching up so far. Thank you for my Wednesday star Toots :) I did the bathroom this morning so I'm ready for that tomorrow or Friday.

    Did a load of washing too including the cushion covers, they're not quite dry but I've brought them in and I should be able to put them back on after work tonight. Everything else is put away.

    Went out to shops with DD2 this afternoon for a pootle round. Only bought a loaf of bread for supper but it looks nice.

    I'll do a little bit of catching up now but I have to go to work in 10 minutes. Hope everyone's OK.

    Hiya lovely flyladies
    Just popped on to let you know that DS is still at home!!!!!!! He was in pain until about 330am then fell asleep and woke a few times with pain and then fell asleep again. He's has spasms all day but really wanted to visit his school so he went in for 15 minutes in his school uniform. Everyone was so pleased to see him it gave him a massive boost.

    I've phoned the hospital and said that I was keeping him home until he couldn't cope and if they wanted him for tests i'd take him in whenever they wanted him. All he does is in hospital is lie there and think about the pain. At least here he has friends to visit etc. I've also been given a time table by some of the mums at school so he can go and lie on their sofas for an hour a day and have a change of scenery and toys etc. They'll look after him and phone me if he needs me.

    We've found a really good way for him to cope - when the pain comes he does a floppy dance. This is stopping him tensing up and helps a lot. Mind you, if you're sat in a room with him it's a little unnerving as the little man does this ridiculous arm and leg shaking - makes us all laugh though.

    Hugs to everyone who needs them - i'm really sorry i'm not keeping up with all your news xx
  • I have just tried to pm PenPen but her mail box is still full so I am going to post my message here - hope none of you mind.

    Hi honey

    we are all very worried about you and I wanted to say that I think you do a fantastic job as a BG and I know its easy for me to say but dont let some !!!!!! get to you - there is no way on this earth that you could bully anyone!

    they dont seem to realise the time and effort you put into being a BG and how thankless the job can be.

    I know i speak for all the flyladies when i say we think you are wonderful - always so cheery and helpful - and turning a blind eye on our thread too!!!!

    We love you loads and hope we see you posting again soon

    much love and huge HS1bouncing.gif

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry I missed out on yesterday, been feeling exceptionally tired this week for no apparent reason and the smallest thing at work has been stressing me out. I guess it's just the night's drawing in or something. I'm wondering if maybe just sitting around yesterday didn't help things so will attempt to get back on my flying tonight. See how it goes, but can't promise any miracles.

    Tuesday ~ own room! - DONE!!

    Wednesday ~ Living room, hall and stairs! - DONE!
