    Thanks for the hugs you lovely people. GnB - they don't think it will take so looking at how it is in 2 weeks - where's the shruggy smile when you need one. For those of you ho aren't squeamish; this is what it looks like. I know - your wondering why I have a picture; it's because Danny being a boy that they do these weird things, I'm sure a girl wouldn't take a photo!

    He's having a bad day today and is talking of coming out, this isn't the 1st time he's mentioned it, the things he had to do and see have affected him more than he thought and is scared if he was put back in a place like that, that he will be of no use to anyone.

    Flying, err tidied my desk at work - does that count?

    I'd have pics of my injuries too!!

    I am such a dozy cow!! trotted off to midwife for the certificate thing for the maternit payment and forgot to ask for the infernal thing in the midst of having another round of bloods done... and I'm not going back so I have no idea what to do now.. OH said he will mooch back round with me so I can ask for it.. but I feel such a total gimp for not remembering in the first place I don't want to go...

    Not sure how much of this will get done today as I had a very early start and am exhausted, having a cuppa at the mo to see if it picks me up.

    I must be tired as I read Vacuum the mattress and air the duvet as air the mattress and vacuum the duvet

    and

    Find 10 things to get rid of!.. no men/women/children/pets as the complete opposite.

He did a bit but everytime i left the room to do something else he boogered off upstairs.:mad: After 3 times of yelling at him to come back down and help i gave up and told him not to bother. As he won't help he won't be having any pocket money or phone credit for the foreseeable future.;)
