    mummyyof5 good luck to your DS
    piggers hope tomorrow goes well

    Yes I'm awol again but have been taking my week off I promised myself. Some didn't go to plan, had hell on with the OU but eventually won! They are now paying for my course this year which is an ok result, just means my stuff will be late but thanks to a facebook group I now have a downloaded copy of the first books :)

    At a conference tomorrow, Ian Jordan speaking so I'm ever so excited! http://www.jordanseyes.com/ you've probably never heard of him but I've been trying to get him to do our conference since 2006! If you have a child with ASD, Aspergers, Dyslexia, ADHD, CP etc have a look. I'm hoping to take the boys to see him soon. It means DP need to get up after a few hours kip, but he owes me on :rotfl: however this means I must cut my hellos short as I need to make the boys packed lunches for tomorrow.....yes the usual they won't eat what DP makes.

    (((hugs))) for you all x x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Jaffa Cake muffins in I have a brain stored with lots of random facts :o

    Ohhhhh............................. :drool:
    Deffo gotta try them :drool:
    My jaffa cake experience is normally making a massive one, using a large flan case as the base - just to give you an idea of how large it is :D

    But JAFFA CAKE MUFFINS......
    thats a whoe new jaffa cake dimension :eek::drool: :D

    Oh...and random facts, also have a bit of storage space here ;):o

    I have only really skim read the thread, so apologies if I have missed anything :o
    Although....loving the araldited remote to the telly story :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek: Do they still sell araldite ???;)

    Tomorrow I get my stitches out :j:j:j
    I cant wait... as I can feel the skin growing over them:eek::eek:
    And I dont want them to have to dig for gold to get them out :(:eek::eek:
    It was my left hand that was stitched... which has been unbelievably itcy for the past couple of days... so hopefully, this will indicate that I will be in for a bit of a win on the Lotto ;):D

    I did do a wee bit of my list this morning...
    But I will update my list either tomorrow or Sunday.

    Lame - I knew you weren't hon, it was just to make you laugh really..
    Dusty - OMG yes Tristan is most definitely conscious and when I talked to my friend over there who was in the hallway outside his room I could hear him 'cussing' (as she called it) in the background cos the nurses wouldn't let him have the phone!! He is a rotten patient, but it was nice to hear him talk as while his lung was damaged he could only squeak as breathing was hard. giggle.gif Michelle is only conscious in small bursts, but she has more serious injuries. Now Tris' lung is fixed he is back to just dealing with the broken bones.
    Maralum - just noticed you are in Exeter. I am very close, in fact, look out of the back window and that is me waving from the top of the hill.. giggle.gif
    rach - lots of positive vibes coming your way for your gran and mum.

    Boddy - Thank you hon
    Nopot - I make the huge jaffa cake too, it's fabulous!
    I must be the only person in the world who is not on facebook and I am beginning to feel a bit left out of things. lol
    Hospital visit was Ok I guess. Just a painful ride there and back.
    Off to find a list or two.

    Morning All

    Lots to do today but Dh is going to a football match with the kids this afternoon so I will be footloose and fancyfree so I'm not sure what I'm doing then.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Mozzy given half a chance I'd be there like a flash! Maybe a touch too far from the party though :p

    I have been awake since half 4!!! Went to loo at 5 when I decided I simply could not wait a moment longer, had a drink.. developed heartburn so at 6 I got up.. my dress for the party is now done.. took me less than an hour lol.. It needed taking in and the straps shortening, then I decided it was too long so hacked 6 inches off the bottom and rehemmed it.. I have in effect remade the infernal thing lol.. there is about 8 inches of original stitching from knee to hip on both sides, the rest has been redone lol.

    I need some tights and my shoes finding now and I am about done.

    I have loaded the WM, DS3's old coat and mine which is having its first wash in.. 2 years! I am such a troll.. I am always wearing it though so I never get chance to wash it! Anyhoo.. if anyone would like a Vertbaudet brown boys coat age 9-10 give me a yell and I'll fling it at you... DS3 is heartbroken it is going but it simply doesn't fit him any more.. lovely Aspergers kids getting attached to the most stupid of things!

    I picked up 3 worms and a slug from the kitchen/hallway.. stupid cats!

    TD is on so OH can have clean jeans today :D I will be popular... ooh it is starting to get light.. I may go track down some rice krispies, I am starving.. I had OH make me toast at 10pm last night.. I was ravenous and he refused to go get me chips lol... he is SO mean! :p

    I moved the sofa in the front room from in front of the radiator and back into the bay.. only so I could hang my coat on the radiator to dry.. but it is done.. I REALLY must get the boxes of tree decs from in there back upstairs it is February after all!

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    It's foggy and damp today - but that's fine, it's not snow! :D

    Gas service bloke coming this morning so I've emptied the airing cupboard in readiness, MY stuff I took out in one pile, teenies stuff however :eek: the little *** had put 2 tv's in there, speakers, golf club, freeview box/a mound of wires, bag of gibble from when he sorted his room, I'm lugging them downstairs and they are going to the tip asap. I'd forgotten they were in there, anyway apart from being a ton weight, it took less than 5 mins to empty :rotfl:

    Full house clean today :j can't wait to get started, so I'm gonna finish my brew and get cracking, lots of WM & TD to do too.
