CC it means there is one less pesky fly in the world to annoy you, that has to make it better yes?

It means it's going to be a terrible day for the fly.

nuttyp

morning!!!!!


ALDI VOUCHER DAY THIS THURSDAY.


Thought I would post that first so no one misses it. loving the chatter I think it should be made the law that jelly babies should be prescribed by the doctor to help you feel better lol.


I have to go to work later on, not feeling like it but I am sure I will be ok when I get there. I have to do my homework there too, there is a folder full to read and then do the pages of tasks. Its like being back as school again. After my first exam I automatically go onto salary pay, and then after the second exam I get another payrise.... I have the title for the job as manager but my pay is still paid hourly - complicated way of doing it.


SQ im glad your feeling better, remember don't do too much or you will be back to the start again...
PIC I didn't realise there was a free event on yesterday or I would have been over for a look. Instead I stayed in all day :-(
POOKY I think the school have been way over the top, our local primary school had a playground assistant and ta who died suddenly. They did a special assembly and that was it, on the day of the funeral they had an official day off so they could all remember/attend if they were able. They now have a bench and its know as the remember bench - simple enough.


I am having a nice morning so far, Just need to do some cleaning... it never stops does it.


Take care all x

Hi All

Just a quick post mainly to thank you all for your messages of support which have been such a comfort.
My son has managed to recover spectacularly - moved to the coronary ward on Thursday & he's been walking & maybe today will be discharged. Its going to take quite a while for him to get back to normal but can't begin to say how relieved & grateful we are for him and for the tremendous support we have had.
Went for the 'boob squeeze' on Friday (dreading it) but two lovely ladies assurured me it was because one of the images was blurred & even showed me the xray for comparison with the one they had taken previously - massive relief there too!

I havn't had chance to catch up but sending really BIG hugs to all in need. I'd shower you all with jelly babies & chocolates too if I could so you'll all have to make do with virtual ones

SILVASAVA wonderful stuff my friend, so pleased that it's getting better for all of you. Long may it continue and thanks for the virtual jelly babies!!!

SQ Does the OH stop breathing when he wakes himself up with his snoring? If he does he probably has Sleep Apnoea.

It is quite a serious condition, can lead to heart attacks and strokes. I have sleep apnoea. Is he tired all the time and does he fall asleep a lot?
An idea of the other symptoms I used to fall asleep ever time I got in a car as a passenger. The minute it moved I was out. I could just about stay awake for the news but never stay awake through a half hour TV program.

I used to go to sleep at my computer at work and I have slept through dozens of films. I could go to bed for 14 hours and still wake exhausted. The treatment works and I rarely fall asleep anywhere but bed now. I have slept through loads of rock concerts even heavy rock.

If he has thses symptoms get him to see his GP they will soon sort it out.

thanks for the update on your son silvasava - FANTASTIC to hear. Glad the mammary clamping went ok too. You can relax a little now maybe?


Nutty hope your "homework" goes ok. I won't overdo it - IF you don't overdo it either- deal? Thanks re supermarket voucher , assumed it was nxt week so will get one and do a stock up shop at the weekend on my own.


Talking of shopping, we need more than I realised- we get through tons of milk alone so off to one of the big 4 later - boys don't seem bothered so hoping they will be helpful or is that just a crazy idea? Think we will buy some jellybabies, can't stop thinking about them now! Bribery gets you everywhere with 2 young lads.


Thanks for all the good wishes
catch you all later
SQ
