  • oh no :( i hope dd1 is back to health soon. I was diagnosed with asthma when i was 17 and was so ill for months beforehand i think my mother actually thought i was on my death bed at one point lol. Hopefully once your dd is diagnosed (or not) and gets medication things will get better :) big hugs to you all xx

  • DD is a little bit better but it took 4 trips to doctors over 3 days where we were told twice shes fine, another said shes needs steriods for her breathing but shes ok :( . The final doctor which was based at Bridgwater hospital took his time and allowed her to settled after the car journey as he said the car sometimes soothes and they dont get a true result once the coughing started and he quickly found the infection and gave her the antibiotics. :T
    I dont know why they cant find her chest infections its happened twice before when they have said shes fine on one occasion she got so bad I took her A&E and they ended up treating her for pneumonia (hence the reason I pushed to be taken seriously!!):mad::mad:

    No news on the job front have been to busy with DD to apply so must pull my finger out and do loads tonight or the jobcentre wont be pleased! Oh and I have earned my very first survey reward a £10 itunes voucher which is my nieces birthday sorted and its something she wants. :j I'm looking for other surveys so bonnington/dfw/nto/itsa PM me for referals if you want to earn the reward :D

  • :D:D DH has bee offered a job :D:D starts on the 21st :j:j
    its a temp position which takes him up to a week before he starts college, he will continue to look for part time work in the mean time :D:D

    Also had a very accurate tarot reading and when she is up and running for business I will be recommending her to family and friends.

    DD1 is much better and has the twinkle back in her eyes (and some red horns popping out of the top of her head!) DD2 had her injections on tuesday and the nurse was amazed when she laughed instead of crying she even blew her a kiss and waved as we were leaving. :D

  • DD1 is feeling better still coughing well but she has enjoyed being in the paddling pool today and the tent which DS put up for her (why they need a 3 man tent up is beyond me lol) DD2 is now poorly its really strange she is normally so happy and content so not being able to do anything for her is horrible will take her docs in the morning. DD2 is normally a real mummys girl but she dont seem to like me at the moment i think shes associating being ill with her injections i took her for on tuesday, everytime i pick her up she hold her arms out to DH or DS.

    Had a lovely tax rebate come in fridays post £373 which means we have all bills covered until DH gets his first wage, if the jobcentre award us JSA it will be backdated 5/6 weeks but will have to wait on that one.

    DH has another interview on wednesday for a better job which will take him through uni its in a call centre and the hours are to suit, the lady phoned him within an hour of getting his CV to question if he applied for the right job as his CV was outstanding and previously had responsible jobs, when he explained he was going uni and wanted something to tide him over for 5 years she basically said the job was his and to pop in on wednesday the start would be the following monday. I dont want to count our chickens but how perfect would that be! And 10% discount for comet after 3 months!

    I picked up some girls clothes from freecycle earlier lots of school uniforms age 5/6 its all clean so will give it a wash in my power then pack away for 18 months.

  • Im sure you wont be waiting long for tenants think positive lol!

    OH has been offered the job at the comet call centre which is brilliant he starts on monday and will be full time until september then will be part time while he goes college. Although the wages are not great its steady and will see him through uni and college and we will get 10% off. The person who interviewed him phoned him and said

    "I hope you dont mind but I was really impressed with you so although you will be starting on customer services I will be moving you to a new team we are setting up as I want you wourking with me"
