    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

  • Morning All :D

    Miss P, you'll be exhausted by lunch time :rotfl:Glad you made progress last night with the stepD.

    I did have a glass of wine last night. But just the one, out of a quality bottle rather than a vinegar box iykwim ;)

    Clear head this morning, which is just as well. DS2 woke before 7am! He has a bad cough and a cold. He was complaining of being too hot. So first dose of Calpol administered for today. Supposed to be going to a family celebration tonight and taking the kids. But not if we have an ill boy. See what the rest of today brings. There's always something in't there!!!?
    Need to start again :o

    So glad you managed to catch GP. Hope medication kicks in and you start to feel better soon. A good night's sleep should help.

    Good morning all

    Marru - lots of ((hugs)). As Maman says, hope those meds kick in soon. And I hope BF is able to take DD off your hands for a few hours. I know that when I'm struggling, everything Piglet does or says seems designed to try me. Try and stay calme. If she drives you mad, stick her in front of the TV with some finger / junk food. It won't hurt just this once.

    Thank you so much for you two and also everyone else that have been sending me good wishes :) I am feeling soooo much better this morning. We are off to Saturday school later and it is a nice little social event for me as well as can have a natter in my native language.

    Called BF last night crying down the phone saying that I am very ill and what did he say. He said that he is poorly as well, he has a cold!!!!!!! Ok it is like I am saying that I have broken my leg and he is saying that he has a scratch on his finger from my point of view. So you can imagine it didn't help. He is house sitting and the house owners don't want a six year old around :mad: so he can't take DD. Plus I am so angry about last night that sod it.

    Off to update the scores.

    Shaggy I am on 18 please :)

  • Morning (again!:rotfl:)

    Went back to bed at 7.30am for an hour so thats a little bit of sleep caught up! In the time that I was up though managed to get another square knitted for my Nans blanket, so at least I was productive :rotfl:

    Marru - I really feel for you. Are there any parents in that group that you know well that could maybe have DD for an hour or so just to give you a break to recharge your batteries? 6 on the challenge please

    Foreverhopeful - Yes, I probably WILL be asleep by lunchtime...I normally like a LOT of sleep :rotfl: Hope DS2 is feeling a bit perkier later. Lots of nasty bugs going around. Its been a cough/cold that Piglets been off with all this week :(

    OH's just gone out to get the exhaust replaced on the car - we were hoping it would hold out for a couple of weeks but apparently not:( and then he's taking stepd to matalan with her christmas vouchers as she's announced she has nothing to wear to interview Monday. Theres being prepared for you....:p

    Oh come on marru, get real, you know man flu is a life-threatening illness!:p

    MissP, you need to take the very advice you are dishing out to marru! Try and get a break for yourself and not in the middle of the night. You've had (are having) a very stressful time and if you can build yourself up then you'll be all the stronger to support OH and cope with the situation.

    I had wine last night (all planned) and didn't finish the bottle so quite pleased with that.

    Have a good day everyone. I'm off to Asda soon, I know how to live!:D

    Yes Mum!:rotfl::)
    Actually, strangely enough, my best friend text me this morning to see if I want to go to M&S for coffee later. We very rarely meet up at weekends. I swear she's psychic!:D So will be indulging in espresso and a very large piece of coffee cake later!:D
