  • Thanks for the well dones everyone! I'm afraid after what I've put away tonight I may not have my 4 stone award anymore :o. Had an early birthday meal with the family including a surprise cake :eek:. It's my Sister's partner's birthday the same day as mine (Friday), DS1's birthday Sat and then my Sister's birthday on the 21st but they will be on holiday then, so we had one night to celebrate it all.

    Robin, it was like Grand Central station in the middle of the night here thanks to DS2! Think I got to sleep properly about 5am. Rather tired now!

    Productive day today. Was stuck in waiting for mattress (which eventually arrived yay!) so used the time this morning to clear out the outhouse. It's much more neat and tidy now and 3 bags full of junk went to the tip :j.

    This afternoon I went to the Carer's Centre to meet my new contact person. She gave me lots of info and will refer DS1 to Young Carers which they run alongside Barnardos :D.

    Didn't go to Bums and Tums tonight as DH has been very vague and I didn't want to leave him :(.

    Hope Dh got through the night with no seizures. x

    Don't feel guilty about one piece of cake, you deserved it, it is your birthday cake after all ;)

    I must have missed the reason why you are getting Ds1 referred?? Must scan back over your diary, think I have missed a page or two.

    Hope its a good day today xxx
