  • Hi all, sorry I've neglected MSE for a few days, just been super busy in RL.

    In a nutshell;

    Grandma got home from hospital this afternoon :j.

    DH has been seizure free and mainly ok since his wobble :j

    I've lost a pound and a half this week :j

    Had a lovely school trip to the Aquarium and the beach with DS2 yesterday, followed by a Beavers trip to the Lego shop last night. Full on day.

    Still haven't completed the DLA renewal pack :eek:. Or the tax credit renewal :eek:.

    Didn't sleep well again last night and majorly tired now, but that is nothing new!

    Sure there is more but can't think! Hope everyone is well Xx

    They certainly did behave! They got free monthly build packs given by the store so we sat on the floor and made those, and the free Lego Club magazine. I was very proud of how well mannered and behaved they were!

    DLA has been granted until October, but they send the renewal packs out with plenty time to contact Consultants etc if necessary (thanks EE for that info!). If they haven't made all the necessary checks by the time it runs out in October they will stop the claim until they do :eek:. For that reason I need to get it done asap!!

    Cheers MiT, well done to you too Xx

    Stress is my middle name :cool:.
    Actually, I don't have a middle name, I have a hyphenated first name lol. So stress is my hyphenated name :rotfl:.
    Can you tell I've finally cracked??

    Looking forward to Edinburgh though :D.

    I will do them, promise. It's DH's birthday on Friday and we are having a little party tea for family tomorrow night, so I've been caught up with sorting things for that. He wanted a Costco cake so I have been to collect that tonight with my sister (she's a member, we aren't). I may not lose weight this week!!!

    Can't wait to read the book but I'm afraid it may have to wait a few days. The film was on the other night but I didn't watch it so that I could enjoy the book as a new experience if that makes sense. Thanks again Xx
