    Hi PLMBL belatedly I am popping in to send you my condolences over your loss. I can't imagine how hard this must be for you on top of everything else that you have gone through.

    I have also voted for you young man. And I wish him luck.

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
  • Thank you Granny and Chev Xx

    I stayed in bed until 4pm when I migrated to sofa as my sister came over. Earlier in the afternoon DH and MIL took the boys to softplay, but MIL paid so it was a NSD for us :T. Sis went out about 5.30pm and got us all McDonalds drive-thru for tea so I didn't have to worry about feeding everyone, which I was very grateful for :A.

    I'm still in bed this morning with a really bad headache on top of everything else. Apparently it's a common side effect of anaemia :(. DS2 is at the Fracture Clinic to hopefully have his plaster removed late this afternoon. I really want to go with him but might end up sending DH and MIL if I'm not up to it.

  • hello hun, what a lovely neighbour you have :A I suffer with anaemia all the time so know how you feel with that :( I take spatone every day now, you have to buy it as they don't prescribe it but it's well worth the price as it gets into your system a lot quicker than tablets and no nasty tummy aches from it either like I get with the tablets. I take one sachet every morning in some juice and it's helped massively :) I hope you are feeling better physically and emotionally very soon. Big hugs xxx

    Amber I am very sorry to hear of your father's death. What a shock!

    plmbl It sounds as though the family is rallying round to help you. And your neighbour sounds great too. You deserve to be looked after by them all. You would do the same for them so make the most of the help while you can.

  • Thanks again all. My GP just rang the house phone to say she was sorry to hear about what went on at the hospital and ask how I was. To be honest just getting out of bed and going downstairs to talk to her was a huge effort. She told me it will take a couple of weeks to feel better and I'm to stay off work. She was also pleased they are referring me/DH for tests as she was going to offer that herself. Will send DH and MIL to fracture clinic later as I know it will be too much for me. I'm exhausted.

    Tiny bit of good news - £10 won on lotto, that's half my wages covered!

    Well done on the lotto win! At least something goes right for once! Hope you're feeling better soon. Make sure you rest - you need it.

    Amber - so sorry to hear about your dad.

  • Cheers SA!

    Just rang work and they couldn't have been nicer. Said I can take as much time as I need.

    DH getting wound up :(. He's totally over doing it, running round looking after kids and tidying up etc. He hasn't stopped all day and it's not good for him.

  • Glad work are being supportive - makes all the difference and it'll stop you worrying/stressing unnecessarily!

    How's DH doing now? Hope he's settled down a bit and taking things easy too! It's great that he's giving a hand and letting you rest, but so long as he's careful himself!! Men :mad::rotfl:

  • DH and MIL just got back from taking DS2 to fracture clinic. The plaster is off :j but he won't use/move his arm :(. Have to go back in 6 weeks to have it checked, or sooner if he still won't use it properly.

    DH seems a bit calmer since he got back. Think he is counting down the hours to the boy's bedtime though!

    I just attempted to get up and go lie on the sofa, but the pain in my head was so immense I had to lie back down on the bed :(. I've just had more painkillers so will try again when they have kicked in. Haven't managed a shower today yet either :o.
