Dusty that is always such bad news to hear, reminds me of mudders loosing her friend makes you count your blessings and give yourself a talking to when you moan, thinking of her friends including you all and family at this devastating time x

Valli we're going to see him at the arena in Newcastle, on Friday

Hex (((fluffy light hugs))) you need a personal torch I think, one that can't be used by DP or the kids. Being scared isn't nice. My DSs I hoped wouldn't get my heights fear or DPs dislike for anything bleeding when it's medical, horror movies he can usually cope with but nothing 'real' like kids cuts or Casualty well no by 1 year old DS2 vomited violently at the sight of blood so with DS1s frequent nose bleeds - fun. I know he was too little to learn that, must be a natural dislike ( he doesn't do talking about or being sick well either, or when DS1 sneezed before he was sick) he's also petrified of going down escalators which he (or anyone else apart from you guys now) has no idea about - I hate even going down stairs including the split stair case at home! They know I'm not great with heights but no idea how severe...it's coming down that's the issue.... Fear of falling not heights so I am told. Nothing wrong with being scared of something.

Well a nice tea out but I now feel extremely flup - Indian buffet. Need to get ds2s PE kit in the TD when it's finished washing as I found it in the pile they put in the bath. Must remember to take him to to opticians first, not school as we're changing opticians (to save money as vision express want money every time now)

Thanks for all the support, we got the power back at about 7 so I could get the boys fed and in bed, and do some essential ironing.

I am so bad with heights I cannot even look over the bannister on the stairs it makes my tummy go wobbly. I won't walk on boardwalks.. like a pier for example. I am absolutely pant wettingly scared of Moths, dragonflies, cows and horses (so much so I won't even look at what I just wrote) I am also terrified of house fire.. always have been, from being very little and the kitchen fire we had did nnothing to help the situation. I can't even think about vomit without the back of my tongue curling, not the actual act but the sound of it when you move it to clean it up and the smell. I have a total utter dislike of rats and pigeons but I am not scared of them i just don't want to be near them as they are dirty vermin and make my skin crawl. I am also absolutely terrified of being on my own at night.. I am also absolutely convinced I am going to be murdered.. so when I am you can all gasp at my powers of foresight!

You can all now rest assured your fears are not silly and I do believe they are sometimes genetic.. KH hates blood to the point of fainting and DD1 is the same.. I cleaned cuts etc and he dealt with sick.. the amusing thing is.. OH also dislikes blood though not to the same extent so he does guts and i do cuts!

Hex, I really do sympathise, it must be very difficult at times. Fingers crossed our lights stay on now.

I have 2 lists now.. one of things I need to do this week and one for shopping, I hate shopping! We need to do a cupboard refill for DS3 who appears to have grown 6 inches over the weekend!
