    today has been a lazy day for me, a soak in the bath and some knitting time whilst the little Hinges played and mr Hinge cut the grass and wrestled with the weeds in the garden. Made a huge batch of pizza dough for the freezer and some GF/Df snacks ready for Missy Hinge next week.

    SAT exams for her next week and she is rather nervous, she is going in for all the higher papers and is putting herself under alot of pressure....... Girls shopping trip tomorrow to relax her and pick up a few bits and bobs.

    dinner

    roast chicken thigh (skinless) with stir fried veggies and noodles


    Head is in the zone today.

    one of payment of tax credits today, think we've been auto renewed so sent £125 to the credit card and £5 sent towards missy Hinge's trip. £22 paid for some finger supports to try and help the bendi-ones fingers when writing.

    Took Superman to the Dr's this morning, the last few months he has been plagued with headaches, feeling sick and constantly full of snotty gunk. saw a Locum who despite running 40minutes behind was actually really good. She asked him questions and tried really hard to understand him when he explained about them. She gave him some antibiotics as she thinks he has sinus infection and a referral to ENT as she thinks his headaches are linked to sinus drainage problems. He is snuggled on the sofa with a warm flannel on his face watching batman for the second time this week. fingers crossed school will listen to me now about his headaches and not dismiss them as "school avoidance tactics"

    How is everyone else?
