Pigpen - Thanks for the phone task - it would have been DD's due date for her second baby (no heartbeat at scan) and she's (obviously) feeling a bit low at the moment so I'm glad I phoned.

Hugs to those that need them and will those carrying flybabies take care.

Need to catch up with list from Monday/Tuesday.

(List update below).

Afternoon. Brief update form me.
Things carp here as usual sorry! Cant remember when I updetd but GP has me back on the anti-d's, hopefully they will help but I just feel sick with them at the moment.
House is a bit messy but have managed to keep on top of kitchen and laundry and shopping.

I have gone from not caring much about anything to at least wanting to care so I suppose its a step in the right direction.

We've ben given places for me and DH on an ASD training course starting in May so am hopeing that that will help with management of DS' condition. His tics are horrendous at the minute, I am hoping a rest from school over the hols will help him be less tired which may help.

Right anyway. Enough wallowing.

Jills Job List:
Accounts
Make bread
DS' spellings
DS' maths homework
DS' P4C homework
DLA
Mums stuff
Cerebra books
Sew on DS' Beavers badge

Hello all. I'm sorry for being awol but things have spiralled a bit. My neuro called on wednesday and said he had had a proper look at the scans and wanted to see me that day.
I refused and said I wanted all my care in York. He reluctantly agreed then later in the day I got a call from York asking me to go today. I told them I couldn't make it so I eventually agreed to go tomorrow.
I will be going on my own as noone is around. DH keeps saying "Don't worry you will be fine" but thats it. He is away with work at the moment which will give us both time to clear our heads:(

On the flying front I haven't done much. Cleared some stuff out for the move and tried to keep on top of the mess.

Sandy - good luck hun. You wont be alone as you have all of us here for you.

Thank you for those who sent better toe vibes... sadly it's till stinky and yucky:o:(:eek: Hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and I've been soaking it.
Owwowwoww, that's gotta be really sore.:( Hope the antiflybotics do the trick.
I did manage to sort out my magazine rack yesterday (whilst sitting on backside) which had turned into a home for everything but magazines!!
Sitting on backside to declutter still counts as decluttering. At least, it'd better, or I'm well and truly stuffed!:D
We're going to Homebase tomorrow to get wallpaper so it'll be "operation decorate living/dining room"!! Any wallpapering tips???

DELEGATE!!:naughty:

I'm not certain if I qualify for a star today, because I had a real problem with the phone task; I am phobic about phones (even the Doctor's receptionists know better than to tell me to ring for an appointment); Mr LW and the dog-sitting franchise have their own ringtones on my mobile, so I know it's them; all others get "red-buttoned", and I always let the answering machine get the landline and Mr LW deals with it later.

He also deals with any calls we need to make, as I literally shake and feel sick at the thought of ringing anyone.

However, I'm going to ask Can I have a Thursday star please? Pretty please??

Ring someone you love just to tell them so.. we never do this enough! I only have Mr LW, but I did tell him when he called me mid morning; will this do? Apart from talking to Mr LW, I seriously don't do phones, as I have a phobia about them.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
