    Morning all,

    Sorry you still aren't better Soappie, look after yourself.
    Congratulations on seeing concorde Toots, safe journey home A, W, and Mum.
    Positive healing vibes and prayers for all who need them but especially Diva and Sandy. Thanks to L-L and Greenbee for supporting.
    DS3 fell this morning and has broken his arm (just above the elbow) really badly. He has had a two and a half hour op to wire it back together and now been transferred to stay the night at another hospital (ours doesn't have overnight paeds).

    Hugs Dusty and to your DS, hope it heals quickly.

    I am back home.. have I ever mentioned I live in a hovel???

    Really :D? With a house full like yours, I think you deserve a medal. Glad you are home safely. Also, :eek: to the uniform. I've been moaning because DD and DS1s school has just become a federation and despite saying there would be no uniform change, guess what I've got to buy in September, 2 new sets of as yet unspecified uniform, but will include blazers. DS1s (he is currently Y7) fits him fine now and was bought plenty big enough for next year plus he had the sweatshirts and other things from DD to grow into. DD (Y9) didn't really need anything either and I had diligently bought bigger things from the school nearly new stall :mad:. So now I'm worried and feeling your pain Pigpen and Jojo :D

    I found a lump this morning,

    Hope you have got an appointment with the sympathetic doctor Natty and they get you through the system and a big all clear soon. I had a mammogram last November, the appt was already scheduled then I was admitted as an emergency, they wheeled me down from the ward and I cried all over the really lovely staff. Think it was all a bit much. Fortunately it was just a cyst and had already burst, hence the discharge (TMI?).

    Feel pants today. Haven't been sleeping at all, 4/5 nights now. Think it may be the new meds and I have to increase the dose today. Will shuffle round the list and do some work but may well lay on sofa for a good part of the day. :(

    Morning all

    Just got back home with DS3. He is much brighter now thankfully. He's not in too much pain but will be spending the day on the sofa!

    Diva - I understand your nerves sweetie, hoping you are back in recovery real soon

    Sandy - continued love for you and for the amazing Lady Liberty

    AnW'sMum and crew have a safe journey home

    Not sure yet what I'll get done flying wise today. Hopefully a HHC in the kitchen and maybe a bit in the garden.

    Mrs C? was it you after strawberry plants? I'm going to sort my beds out this week and will have loads of young plants to rehome - 2 varieties - not sure of the names ones is a fat berry like you get in the shops the other is a firmer redder berry - both are nice but very different. Would you like me to send you some?

    Hello! I'm back! Feeling quite a bit better now. Started to feel better on Saturday but got a bit funny on Sunday and yesterday, was very tired and got very faint in Tesco yesterday whch was embarrassing as the first aiders put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me along the whole length of the checkouts so I could get outside in the fresh air!

    Anyway, enough of my moaning. I've missed so much of the thread, so hopefully I've not missed anything important. LOve and hugs to you all, hope you are all ok

    Today I'm going to wash up and tidy all floors and surfaces. Have got to have the place tip top by Friday as have one of the ladies coming round who helped us with our mega sort out and she won't want to see a mess. It's not too bad in here but I've not managed to do much in the last week or so.
