    I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE MY NEWS WITH YOU ALL, I AM GOING TO BE A NANA :T:T:T

    I have been bursting to tell you all for weeks, but DD2 had her scan today and everything is fine. It was a bit of a shock to them and to us, but best laid plans and all that, we are all so excited about having a baby around, after 2 1/2 years of rain we have our rainbow :) baby is due beginning of November, DD2 is 13 weeks so quite a way to go yet!

    Hello my lovely friends.
    Sorry I have been a bit missing in action. Just my crazy life. I can't remember what I last posted so sorry if I am repeating myself.
    On Tuesday..last week I was supposed to have a Lumbar Puncture to check the pressure in my brain. However the doctor tried a few times but due to scar tissue from previous LPs failed. So after a long boring day we gave up and I returned the following day and a anesthetist done it. He was brilliant as was his lovely theatre team who had me in stitches in giggles . The pressure was higher than it should be and despite draining it for a over a hour it quickly shot back up so I had minimal relief. However , since I have seen my Gp who is now referring me to a more specialist hospital in London. May take a long time but I am desperate to get things under control.
    Anyway that was boring.. Other than that I finally had my head shaved for Charity and will post some pictures.
    Insomnia is back with a vengence tonight so at almost 3am me and my 3 dogs 1 cat and her tiny babies are all happily chilling listening to music.

    JJ oh im so glad you finally have your referral to London hospital fingers crossed it wont take that long, well done you for shaving your hair you look gorgeous, and your dog looks gorgeous too

    JJ - hope your referral doesn't take too long!!!
    freespirit - fantastic news :D

    Just popping to say hello :)
    Have made a good start on my Christmas binder, found lots of helpful websites. I have also now started my home organising binder AND started sorting out our filing cabinet. Will crack in properly and with orgainsing all through house after holidays but a good start.
    Not much else christmassy done, after doing a gift check need to pick up some more bits for the men of the family and also be looking at the birthdays/fathers day and the weddings we have coming up.

    Off again now, well wishes to everyone!!
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Nothing exciting happening around here, just a minor scare with water leaking through our hall ceiling. As still a relatively new home owner, any sort of water leak practically gives me a panic attack. But happily it seems to only be a loose seal on the shower.

    Also had some excitement with a yankee candle tea light exploding and shattering my lovely yankee Christmas holder :( Yankee have offered to replace the holder but it has made me nervous about using the candles!

    Just wanted to pop in and comment:

    Freespirit that is such brilliant news I'm so happy for you, you'll be a wonderful Nana.
    JJ what beautiful pictures, I hope the referral doesn't take long!
    OMO Fabulous redecorating, do you want to pop round mine next? And thank you for the daily quotes, they do make me chuckle
    Newthrift your Christmas and Home organising binders sound brilliant and right up my street. Can I ask what you have in them at present?

    Sorry for anyone I've missed and hugs to everyone else.
