    It's up - I was having a bath so a bit later than usual.

    Just waiting for my painkillers to kick in before I attempt to go to sleep.

  • juliejim - fingers crossed for a pain free nights sleep for you!

    jojo - and breathe...... I'll swap you mothers - mine gave me 4 bars of doctors grade soap for Christmas! And sat down to Christmas lunch here muttering about not being able to have leg meat cos I'd only bought a turkey crown......

    And, as she has been taken off the road due to medical investigations she wants me to go ( with my entire family) to hers for my 50th in March so we can all go to her local carvery to celebrate ( my youngest hated it 3 years ago for mums 80th and will almost certainly still hate it!)

    AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO!

  • MummyD thanks very much for that. Im assuming that if it does not go up till late, it changes from week to week, which is great.

    Juliejim thanks, will take a look now, sorry to hear your in pain.

    JoJo my mum has been a right b--ch most of my life, but she has suffered so many strokes in the last year, and a heart attack, i would prefer that then her not being about. My mum had a very rough time as a kid so thats why she is how she is. Anyhow, i know that does not help your situation.
