    Froddy~~I know all about ears, please go and have it looked at the doctors.

    I agree. Don't risk losing your hearing. Check your glands near your ears too. If you can't get to a gp book an initial telephone appointment for advice and let the gp decide whether they need to see you.

    Need to summon ip the energy to empty my suitcase and pack the next one.

    go on, tell us more....

    Being 40 weeks and two days preggers, he was going upstairs to do some cleaning, but then he disappears for the rest of the day and does everything incredibly slowly, I made him take the kitchen pinger set to 30 mins, and he was much more efficient:rotfl:

    Bon Voyage;)

    WIP: laundry and dishes - not much progress :o
    [STRIKE]bath and get dressed[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]up the hill to little town centre with DS2 (market and library)[/STRIKE]
    one task for work, as colleague is waiting for it - next on list
    [STRIKE]lunch[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]take DS2 to football party for 2.30[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]sort suit hire for DS1 in town and assorted bits from market[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]collect DS2 at 5pm[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] tea (DH is out at 6.15)[/STRIKE]

    Before the party we also bought cards, wrapping paper and a present. DS2 decided that he really didn't want to go in his PE kit, so I also got him a football shirt - not quite the one DH would have chosen, but I'll let him pay for that. ;) I'm glad I did, though, because all the other boys were in proper footie strips.

    DS1 and I managed to find a very nice suit and shirt for £39 in Greenwood's, :money: while DS2 was at the party. The shop assistant called it an 'oddment' and regular price would have been over £100. A friend is taking the trousers up for him and has even offered to take the shirt in, so we're both happy bunnies. He looks very handsome in it.
    I'm getting ready to do a bit of work before going out around 10.30. Hope everyone's ok, as I haven't had time to catch up with the thread. x

    I've unpacked and started packing but frustratingly still can't fit everything I need into the little suitcase. So I have to take the bigger one. Bet I don't use my gyym kit this time either... Just need to work out what to take for the evenings. Need to pack walking boots and socks too!

    About to have supper, then finish packing and maybe have a bath before bed. Must remember to change the clocks as the taxi will be here at 9am!

    Hello

    I have been to town and bought ALL my cards for aApril - mother's day, my mum's birthday, my dad's birthday, the kid's dad's birthday and more...kids aren't here so need to sign some before they go.
    stood in the queue, shuffled my stash and went back in:rotfl:
    Added to the new kitchen stash *kerching*
    Got DS some new socks and trolleys ...
    bought M&S meal for me and my mate. We have hiked - the walk was the begiining and end of one we've done before with the VERY STRENUOUS middle bit omitted - my choice. back to hers to eat ioour meal then we went to the pictures to see The Eagle (my wishing well friend, this is)
    Came home via the co-op *cheers* to find DS's playstation's sold on e bay*kerching*. Think I will get him to take it to the post after school on Monday with WRITTEN instructions to get proof.
