    Morning all, yesterday turned out to be abit of a washout, got DD's drawers. When to my sisters with loads of boxes, she well packed up now and viewing another house tonight.:D
    Hubby has an awful tremor in his right hand so the doctor is to ring today and see him before the end of the week.:( It's just a side effect but means another tablet to be added.

    Toots hugs, sorry to hear you have an infection and boo to the moaners.
    cyclingyorkie I'm sorry to hear about your FIL, thinking of you and the family hun.

    Right better get kids feed and get myself dressed.
    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.

    Morning all

    Sorry for the moan last night, I know lots of you have much more on than me. We had a nice curry in the end, and although I slept terribly I feel ok this morning. Just need to think of something to do today now!
    (((hugs))) for rach try not to get stressed - this is a week off so chill - try to do something thats just for the pair of you and not concerning the baby? maybe DH is just getting a bit overwhelmed by it all?
    I think that's maybe a bit of it, it's mainly that as you know we always used to just go for walks in our free time which we both (he particularly) loves, but my hip is so painful and I'm so slow and breathless that I can't walk for more than 10 mins without being in agony!

    Cyclingyorkie so sorry to hear the news, big hugs to you and yours.
