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

Morning Lucky,


Wow your diary is never dull!!. You have so much going on.

I hope the chat with your Beaver helper worked out well. I do really think you need to simplify your life abit, and quitting or reducing your time with Beavers would be a good start.

Your body and mind can only cope with so much strain, and your family need you fit and well.

Fab news getting your wifi back on, I have had nightmare like that before which totally puts me off trying to switch companies. I just call BT occasionally now, threaten to leave and they reduce my package costs down. that's all I am brave enough to do .


Hope you are feeling ok today and all is calm.

Hi lucky

Golly you have had a hard time of it while I have been away - I am sorry sending virtual hugs.

However, you are still doing SO well I think you should be really proud of yourself.

I hope you sorted the Beavers issues, one less commitment makes all the difference. x

Hello lovely lady

I hope you have had a nice day xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Evening Chev, Steph, Sparky, Lilt and anyone else reading!

Chev, thank you for your concern. Mr L is actually going camping for two nights with his best mate, not this weekend but next, to watch the superbike racing. I'm ill with worry about it, but trying to see the positives in us having a break from each other. BM has booked and paid for the tickets as a treat for Mr L, and of course there will be plenty of medics around with it being a big organised event. I still feel sick though!!!!

My helper at Beavers was supportive but didn't seem too enthusiastic about taking over. She is going to help out more with planning etc in the short term though, which will help ease things.

Today we got DH weighed. He's been on a real sugar craving since the last seizure and has gained 6lbs!! He is devastated. I was worried as I've had a few naughty things this week, but I've gotten away with just half a pound on :T.

We also went to buy me a bra! The wire has been poking out of mine for a while despite me trying to sew it back up. The other day it clean came out of the bra, giving me a rather unattractive lop-sided look . I got a 2 pack for £24 which I didn't think was too bad considering they are big enough to provide shelter to a small army!! I also spent the last of my birthday money on a new pair of winter boots and a shawl/poncho thing which is much nicer than it sounds! I saw Gok Wan doing something with one on a model on tv, and he put a belt around it which looked fab. DH assures me I don't look like a sack of spuds in it ......

I also entered all MiL's tax return details online after her activation code arrived, and attended DS2's Harvest Festival! Busy day! Xx

Busy day indeed!!!

I know you will find it hard with DH being away... but he is in the right hands, with people who know him and can take care of him/watch for signs, and as you say plenty of medics. Will do you both the world of good. Now to get the boys taken off to MiL's overnight one of those two nights, so that you can have a proper nights sleep and a decent time relaxing on your own.

Poncho sounds lovely and Gok can flatter any shape, so I am sure you look beautiful. :j yay to spending money on YOU :T

Glad Beavers may be a bit less hectic, planning-wise. Hopefully that will help you take a step back. In the meantime, send out letters with all the Beavers asking for volunteers to help run the show. I am sure some mums would be more than obliging!

Thanks for your kind words on my diary Lucky, and well put ref those who have gone before. Glad you don't think I am batsh!t crazy at least!

Night xx

Pleased to hear Mr Lucky is going camping which will give you a break. He'll be fine, don't worry. I really really really hope you get some rest, put your feet up for a change. Like lilt says send the boys to MIL's place - heaven for you, get a good night's sleep.

Could do with Gok going through my wardrobe but I reckon he'd throw everything out in disgust! Wish I could have one of those capsule wardrobes - great in theory but in practice .....

Well done on the 2 bras for £24. And the new clothes sound lovely

If the old bra is still okay apart from the offending hole and you want to wear the old bra again try sewing a piece of fabric over the end of the opening where the wire sticks out, or, if you have a sewing machine do lots of zig zag stitching over the hole.

I am sure DH will have a great time camping and you can have a break. You just have to try not to worry but being the world's worst worrier I can't really talk

****scuttles off to add Poncho to my "To do list" :rotfl::rotfl:

Medication increases always add weight to missy Hinge, she gets a little chubby for a few weeks then grows in to it, However I think Mr L may have stopped growing :cool: Not really very helpful today am I?!


I hope you can rest whilst Mr L is away, I am sure he will be more then fine!!

whats on the cards today?

Hi lucky. Congrats on not being too naughty.

With the bra situation as some else who has a my lovely brother puts it 'over shoulder bolder holders' when that has happened in the past best way to fix it was with a fabric plaster! Doesnt look good but works and I use the 'older' bras as back up, emergency or when it wont show!

Take care x

Glad you spent money on yourself, ponchos are all the rage this year I hear x

Well done on that minuscule gain considering what you've gone through lately. It and many more of its friends will come off in sure.

Pleased to hear DH is going away and giving you a break. I hope you've not arranged to work one of those nights, if so speak to your boss about changing your shift. Even if the little ones are home, plonk them down doing something fun while you take some time out relaxing. Do something fun with your boys in the day to wear them out and take advantage of an early night with no one to worry about whilst you are sleeping. Have faith in DHs friend, he will take good care of him so no need to spend the freedom worrying. Your batteries need recharging, use the weekend for that x
