    Gosh its quiet in here! Has everyone been Xmas shopping? We took DD to get the last of her prezzies today - she is quite organised unlike her brother who has nothing done! Having a big family buffet on Friday so we were trying to organize stuff for that. DS2 says he will cook the Xmas meal so we should have an easy time this year! (Hope I will still manage to sneak a few glasses of wine before the meal.)

    I've just popped in Sheils, been to gymnastics with girls and then hubby took kids to his mums for dinner so I asked my mum if I can have a bath at hers and dad done my dinner when I got there! :D feel much better now I've had hot bath. Hope they fix my boiler tomorrow, been off since Tuesday night!

    I know how you feel about the Hospital and going alone. I think my worst ever day was when my OH was in a hospital about 15 miles away waiting for a bypass op. He rang me at lunchtime to tell me he had been moved to Kings in London and was having the op the next day. He was really emotional and it was so hard being so far away and knowing how scared he was.

  • I have been there for every op (and worried myself sick) but when he was in for a few days in summer i hated leaving him when visiting time was over. I used to go to every appointment with him but since moving jobs in June I cant get the right days off. Although to be honest he deals with it far better than me. Although if there was anything major I would get myself there even if it means a panic attack on the tube :D:D

    Stopping at inlaws tonight so hardly done any comps. Only the times one and the original source game

  • Hope you and LO are better soon Jane. And glad he had a smile for Santa in the end. Most little kids cry for the first few times.

    Think it is wet outside but hopefully that means the ice is melting as pavements were like skate rinks last night. Off to work in ten minutes. OH should be at the hospital now. Feels so far away him beig in London but at least work will make me think of something else. Today is only routine anyway.
