    morning everyone

    it's really cold here, so cold the central heating dipped below it's preset minimum of 10C :eek: and came on (but only until it heated up above 14C)

    I remember one doctor telling me that my depression relapses were a vicious circle; because I felt better and stopped taking them too fast I'd have an initial post-tablet high, which would slowly deteriorate until I was right back and beyond square one and need anti-Ds again. The last time I was on them it took a month to get up to maximum dose which i was on for four months and then SIX to be weaned off them completely.:o

    I have loads to do today but figure it's too blinking cold to do anything

    Morning all

    Am having a stressful day :( Someone at Bea's school has a confirmed case of Measles and she hasn't had the MMR. Franticly trying to find a clinic that will issue her the single jabs but looks like I might be heading your way Sammy to get them done. grrrrrrrrr (and yes I know I should have got on and got them done already, had that lecture from my mother!)

    I need a run to de-stress

    Oh Sally...that is a nightmare...My step sister had measles (as did I when I was young but I was okay) but she got whooping cough at the same time. It made her really poorly....

    I know its a nightmare, I wasn't vaccinated as a child as there was concerns over it then and I got measles but not until I was 19 but it wasn't nice.

    families are very strange indeed - found out today that my great uncle died last week and his funeral is on Friday but the granddaughter that's organising his funeral didn't tell her uncle or cousins (lot of family history there). And I know she'll say it was because they should have thought to visit him in life rather than be seen to do the right thing now he's dead! Not easy when talking to the granddaughter and grandson that didn't have much of a relationship with him:confused:

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, I come from a long line of f*cked up families!

    Right, off back to do some housework!

    Families are all a bit F**ked up Cat, I don't think there is one family out there that doesn't have some kind of incident, history, fruit loop etc!

    I am confused as the why she cant just have MMR now though Sally? Or is it too late?

    (I had measles and whopping cough as a child luckily not together though!)
