    feeling rather emotional tonight

    flying wise all I have done is wmx3 and tdx2

    saw gynaecology consultant today who said I will get an appointment in the next 3-4 weeks for my hysterectomy so rang and told my sisters and best friend, now planning all I want to do before I go in, both at work and at home
    he also talked about radiotherapy IF they find cancer :( trying to stay positive....

    on the brighter side my new office is finished and I moved in today...yay...
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Have you ever been stuck in rush hour traffic with an 8 year old playing his new trumpet in your ear? It is a unique experience.

    I haven't tried that one - shame that I have neither 8yo nor trumpet, or I would :D

    Well looks like I'll be cleaning the bathroom again as while I was dressing the screaming baby DS1 took a massive crap in the bath and smeared it everywhere. I just put baby down in his moses basket still screaming, yanked DS1 out of the bath and wrapped him in a towel while I cleaned it up and decluttered the contents of my stomach while I was at it. Once it was clean I showered him off and put him to bed but the bathroom is a complete mess and the whole house stinks of !!!!!!.

    Need wine.


    :rotfl:**Passes very large glass over.** Sorry I know its not funny but your account made me laugh hun. xxxx


    Awaiting news on Rach and co.

    Made my 'this looks nothing like Hogwarts' cake :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, I'll post a picture when I can, or maybe on facebook after tomorrow. I used A LOT of artistic license, we have Moody's eyeballs (gobstoppers) white mice, chocolate frogs, dragons eggs, parseltongue snakes,a golden snitch (ferreror rocher) and a very large Hedwig owl, who is a doorstop and so will sit behind the cake, towering over it.:D

    I haven't got any potions, hogwarts express's or wands, but whatever....I've tried.;)

    I was going to try and make the Sorting hat, have the icing, so may still give it a go.


    Other than that, I haven't wrapped pressies but may have time tomorrow.

    Been on a long phone call with my stepdad which was lovely, funny how an important birthday brings people together. Anyways, hope everyone is ok, toodles for now.
