    Hi all, Nanamia, glad your right arm is firmly where he belongs.
    Feisty, fingers crossed for DH
    JJ where to start? hope that this episode is soon over, and doesn't ever come back. You dear, brave, magical darling.
    OMO thanks for keeping us up to date. and making me smile with the quotes.
    Chez Invis is calm(ish) at the moment, just me and DGS1 in. BigBro was here this morning to look at shower enclosure, he says it is fine and he will fit it next week, babysitting duties permitting.
    Saw my GP today, she says the 'thing' on my neck is a fungus (mouldy oldie) and I have an overactive bladder. (at least something about me is overactive!) and has referred me to a uro-dynamics clinic. (Dynamic mrs I) probably TMI for most peeps, sorry.
    It was world book day today and DGS was supposed to go to school dressed as his favourite character from a book. He wanted to go as the 'Stig' (?) but in the end he just went in as himself. Must make tea, play nice xxx

    Lost my post earlier aaaargh it's so annoying isn't it!

    Firstly thanks Msgigglewick your experiences with DD have made me feel better about the news from my Festive Princess JJ it's reassuring to hear from somebody with experience. Let's hope it doesn't last long and that our beautiful girl is back very soon. Coping vibes by the bucket full for Mrs JJ sending all my love xxx
    Linky thank you as ever my lovely for keeping us going and informed at this blooming testing time xxx
    Feisty thinking of you both! hope today has gone well my lovely xxx
    Betsie I'm hoping Tuesday come quickly for you and you are on the mend and we get our Betsie back xxx
    Pixtotts woo hoo exciting times. Details details please xxx
    Mrs I as ever making me smile :) a mouldy neck???? A general MOT can't do any harm can it? DGD2 dressed as Captain Hook, DD said all the other girls in the nursery and I mean all were Princess of one sort or another except for my girl haha. Glad your big bro can sort shower out for you. Any word from the China contingency ? xxx
    Fluffysox it is Mrs M who loves the Book Thief, I have it on my wish list, are you finding it an easy read or does my brain need to be working? How are you doing? And those gorgeous boys? xxx
    b_e_g I'm sorry! I'm over emotional at the mo! What am I like. I've had a 'wet eye' day today too. I'm so blessed to be surrounded by such love and support.
    DH is still exhausted and very sleepy. His blood sugar are starting to go in the right direction woo hoo (only slightly but down not up) We will get there.
    This morning he'd just gone back up to bed when the door went, I almost burst in to tear there and then. DSs friend just bobbed in for a coffee. A lad DS had done his apprenticeship with so been a regular at our house for years. I've only seen him a few times since DS went to Oz, it was so lovely to see him today and thoughtful soul he is he'd brought his wedding album for us to see. They'd married in Gretna Green when we were in Oz in the summer. It was almost like having my boy for a short time, he had his work gear on so even smelled like DS when I got my hugs. Feeling really lucky and want to share my luck with my Festive Princess come on girl xxx

    Wardrobes are being ordered first thing in the morning wooo hooo. I think they'll take a few weeks to come as they're made to measure so plenty of time to organise. Linky I'm gonna need you xxx

    Thankyou BEG yes it has been lovely tonight to sit in a warm toasty room without being covered in duvet, throws etc although the bedrooms are cold, but he is popping back tomorrow afternoon to iron out any problems

    Morning all,
    :grouphug:Best wishes and hugs to all especially JJ, my dd is wrecked after a 4 min seizure i cant begin to imagine how a 4 hrs one would be.

    I'm about to go and have a major strop at the vets today as you know the dog hurt his leg and they decided it didn't need an operation well he is still limping so i decided to change vets, it turns out he has a ruptured cruciate ligament and requires immediate surgery:mad: so its booked for Tuesday. It will be a year before he can chase his ball again.

    Morning, Chrissy G that's awful, poor doggy, give ex-vet both barrels.
    Nanamia, glad DH is on the mend albeit slowly, and yaaaaaaaay to ordering the new wardrobes. Glad DGD enjoyed being Capt. Hook. DGS is tallest in his class, so needs to 'blend in' hhhnnnnnmmmmm I think not! Trouble is the books he likes are mainly non fiction, and about space, or motor cars, so not easy to find a character.
    Feisty, how did it go? good I hope.
    Freespirit, keep it up, you rock!
    Today is going to be a bitty one, I need some items of shopping, but from loads of different shops, fun, not!
    Then I must get rid of the grot in the hall and the protective layer (aka dust) all over the house, I may be some time. xxx
