A nun is in the bath, and there's a knock on the door. "Go away" shouts she "I'm completely naked".
"It's OK, he replies, I'm the blind man".
Nun thinks, can't be so bad - he's blind so will not see my state of undress. "OK, come in, the door's open" she calls.
Man comes in and she carries on washing. As he leaves, he says "I've fitted the blinds, and BTW, nice ****"
Made me laugh my socks off - cheers - exactly what I needed to get me in good spirits!

PenPen :rotfl:
I've one FIL told me yesterday.
A man dislocated his shoulder and had to go to hospital, when he got there they had to put his shoulder back into place.
As the man lay in his hospital bed, whining and crying about the pain a nurse walked past, she said to him '' what the heck are you whining for, the poor woman up stairs has more to whine about she's just delieveried twins and she's not whining half as much as you''. The man looked at the nurse and replied 'well you go up there and put the twins back in again.
Right cuppa and then i'll make a start.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

Looks like we walked about 14 miles yesterday though, so some good did come of it!0 -
Morning went to post earlier but i was so much pain had to leave it.
The swelling is going down whoo hooo!
the blisters are reducing abut my is soo itchy and painful its unreal.
Had a meeting with the ed phsy yesterday, except all the painkillers kicked in at once and i couldn't function properly.
DS2 is not making as much progress as we want im to. He's refusing to count to ten at school or concentrate on his work. I actually pointed that at home he's fine,he can counts to 48 easily with his bricks. Reads fine, uses his flashcards etc Its mainly at school where his problems are. Yesterday they were on about sending him to an infant assessment class (IAC)which we (me and OH) don't want him to go to. We think its better for him to stay in mainstream school rather than a "special school", that's they words not ours we use the term IAC.
So me and OH had to sit down and have a massive chat with him about his behaviour. DS2 shows signs that's he's on the autistic spectrum and being a slow developer.
Sorry for the rant peeps
pen pen :rotfl:

toots hope your feeling better today:)
happy birthday to the mums and serena.
