    Hex - I'm really sorry - I was so wrapped up in my own probs I hadn't taken in that you were having problems too - I really hope that you get a proper diagnosis soon and that you get the treatment to fix/alleviate your pain

    I'm in to the best of my very limited ability.

    Thanks to pigpen and Toots for all their hard work keeping this thread going.

    It's driving me mad being unable to drive. Can't find my clubcard plus to do an online tesco shop so can't pay for the order Ihave just completed.

    DH read the riot act to DD1 and DS1 & 2 about pulling weight. We had to have a 2 hour all-muck in on Saturday morning because the house was such a state.

    I have a private appt on Wednesday because the NHS seem quite happy for my hand to be deformed. I had another trip to A & E because of a knock at a kids birthday party. I'm pleased to say that I didn't swear a string of expletives in front of a load of kids but I did cry with the pain which shocked them more than the swearing would have done!

    Lost the plot last week so will try harder this week.

    I've been quiet but still popping in to read . Have had the most horrendous flu that meant H was doing all the housework and childcare for over two weeks. He's done really well and has even started cooking! Miracles do happen, it's so nice to have a meal cooked for you sometimes - sometimes I just don't feel like cooking...

    We are moving house on Tuesday and the house hasn't been lived in so it's immaculate. Don't know how long for!

    I imagine it will take this week to begin to get sorted but I will be jumping in with both feet as of next week and trying to maintain it successfully! It's a temporary move but it will also give us the chance to do a bit of deep clean in this house; inside the kitchen units etc and behind the washing machine etc. and maybe a bit of DIY as well, hopefully :)

    I am trying to come to terms with a thread dated tomorrow which is already on page 4. :D

    Am I supposed to say I want to join you this week too? Or is that a given once I've posted that I've actually done something?
