When I asked for luck I didn't mean the bad variety!!!

  • Thank you everyone for your kind words (and the eye candy Haw! Do you have any of Vin Diesel or Paul Walker? :rotfl:).

    We seem to have lost the sun today :(. Just when I was getting used to it too! Probably my fault for dragging DH to the garden centre this morning to buy some new plants for the back garden! We have a completely paved back garden with pots, but it seems that all plants that survived the winter are green and I wanted a splash of colour. We just bought some cheap petunias and geraniums but the minute we stepped back out the garden centre it rained :(. According to the forecast we are to have rain the next 4 days :eek: Remind me to stay away from the garden centre next time!!

    Tonight I'm going next door to my neighbour's house with our mutual friend for a girly gossip :j. I'm sure they will navigate their way through a couple of bottles of wine but I'm going to stick to pop. DH's friend is coming to see him while I'm out but I'm only next door anyway.

  • Cheers Granny, I'm taking a bottle of pop through in place of taking a bottle of wine :o so it's either going to be tesco version of F@nt@ zero or their version of Spr1te zero coz that's all I've got!

    DS2 has just had his first 'code brown' situation on the toilet :j I'm so happy lol :p

    Never thought I'd say it, but yay to the poo!! :rotfl:

    Happy Friday!

    How was the pop??

    PS. Glad you liked the eye candy. Didn't want to include too many hot stuffs or you'd be drooling over the keyboard!! ;)

  • Thank you starnac! You are right, you know you are a Mummy when a poo makes your day :rotfl:.

    Brizzle I hope the wine hit the spot! Sorry you had a hard day and I hope today is better for you.

    HAW I'm on my phone so post away - there is no keyboard to drool on so I can just dribble down my front instead :p.

    The pop was boring but at least I don't have the hangover that the other two have today :D. The night was fab though, nice to just sit and chat and most importantly, have a good giggle!

    This morning we have been to the Head Injury Clinic for an appointment with DH's neuropsychiatrist. They are still saying 3 years as an approximate bench mark for DH's recovery so another year to go with POSSIBLE improvements. The NPsych made a good analogy today though that DH's "hardware has been scratched. A bit like a CD or DVD with scratches it still works, but will pause or jump in places. It's then hard to record anything new on top of that as the scratches are still there". I think that sums his memory up really well. Our next appt is November but we have the Epileptologist appointments meanwhile.

    Hope everyone is good today Xx

    Hi Lucky - I like the theory about the "hardware" being scratched. I feel a bit like that sometimes, especially the bit about it being hard recording anything new! At least things are sounding positive.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Thanks SA. Sometimes I think it's easy to get bogged down with medical terms etc so I really appreciated his layman's terms. I'm glad to read on your diary that Mr SA is doing better today also.

    Been a weird afternoon, I've been in tears for no particular reason :(. I think I'm tired though as I didn't get to bed until after midnight, then DS2 helpfully woke up a few times through the night and then I was up early to rally the troops for school etc. Will try to have an early night tonight. Talking of DS2 though, I managed to get him some nite time pull ups at Mr T's today half price :T They have cars on them and the wheel disappears if he wees in them. Fingers crossed he takes to the idea!

    I've also had my car insurance renewal through at £340. Will see what better deal/cash back I can get on that.

    Any preference in colour?!

    And no tears please! Big *hugs* in case you need them :) And do try to get an early night tonight!

    Well done on the bargain nappies. Seen massive boxes of Cheeky Bot nappies in Mr T's at lunch, £15 for 120+, but unfortunately sizes aren't what is needed :(
