    Bitsy - I have RLS too! My medication really helps but sometimes i get break through twitching and tickling. Glad you nan is ok.

    Julie- Try actually wiritng down all your worries before you go to sleep rather than making lists in your head. also there are many good sleep meditation cd's out there.

    Jc2703 - That story about you grandad is brilliant!!!

    Hugs to everyone that isn't feeling too great, I'm not myself, started a course of anti biotics last night so feeling rather rough but still going into work later.

    I made bangers, mash and beans last night, BF thinks I should have put milk in the mash but I am trying to make us healthy, sometimes i don't know why i bother, he ate 9 chipolatas last night!!!

    BF and I are both working today so we are going to have our Easter tomorrow. I currently have the chihuahua trying to sleep on my lap but he keeps getting jogged around with my typing! Don't think I'll get much OS done today as need to rest up xxxxxxxxxx
    Hmmm will add up debt and stick on on later!

    Happy Easter OSers!

    EssexGirl hope everyone is OK after your drama, poor driver must feel awful!

    Bitsy Glad your gran is OK.

    JC it's nice to hear you feeling a bit better and more upbeat

    tiredmum the new school sounds fab! Someone in DS1's class has the same condition as your daughter, now I know what it is and why!

    :kisses3: Kisses and good wishes to everyone else.

    I am ashamed to say I've only just got up - again! I don't know why I am so tired this week! Came downstairs and OH has made bread, and they are scoffing Eggs and watching Evan Almighty, which is a favourite around here. Will be getting showered and dressed properly soon, after I've made some chocolate cupcakes to take to MILs with us, then off up there for the day to do the Egg Hunt and have Easer lunch.

    HAve a lovely Easter to those of you who celebrate, and a good Sunday to everyone else!

    Hugs

    Been umming and ahhing about what to do for pud today and figured after the food mountain that will be dinner these lightweights won't want 'afters' so I think I'll make a Victoria Sponge and add strawberry jam (o0o0o or possibly lemon curd??) and cream and we can have a slice or three this evening as and when the mood takes us.

    I need to sort out my cupboards as I'm never sure what's going to fall out when I open the doors at the moment so I figured if I'm getting all my baking ingredients out I might as well do something with them! Off to find Nigella to give me some more inspiration....

    Ha ha...I have a cupboard like that. My doggies dive for cover when they see it opened as last time a box of cornflour fell all over them both. Pesky animals always under my feet when Im in the kitchen waiting for scraps!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Easter. Glad your gran ok Bitsy. My Easter Sunday has not been so good as I have had one of my dizzy turns and am only just coming round. Had such plans for today. Seems like I've used all my spoons in one go today!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    If you mix bicarb with water n put it on your finger it should ease the burning a bit:D

    Cat was meowing like mad at 6.am, don't know why!:(
    Managed to de-flea him this morning. He knew we were up to something, so I managed to wrap him in his blanket, while OH squeezed stuff on his neck:rotfl: He's ignoring us both now!
    Bitzy Glad your Gran is okay.

    Going to my cousin for Easter Sunday lunch. I did Christmas dinner, she's doing Easter. DS is home on Wednesday. Haven't seen him since Xmas.:T
