Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Aw, thank you so much everyone. I'm so excited!! I need to submit the quote for what we decide to do and then they will release the funds by cheque. So far the boys have suggested Edinburgh, Manchester, Blackpool, Legoland and Alton Towers. There was also a request for Florida :rotfl:. I need to have a look online at different options.

Heh heh, I wish the weight gain was water! It's very definitely birthday cake, doughnuts, milkshakes and peshwari naan!!! :rotfl:. Been really good since Tues so hopefully it will be off again soon. We took MiL's dog out for a long walk at a NT place today as MiL was out for the day (and I found 3 x £1 coins lying on the ground :j), and then I've been to Bums and Tums tonight too. I may not be able to move tomorrow!!

Rubbish night's sleep again last night. DH starting 'chewing' just after we got into bed so I was on high alert for a full seizure. Finally dropped off to sleep and DS2 burst in at 1.30am wanting to sleep in my bed! I was trying to say no but then DH woke up and said he wanted to go in DS2's bed because he was too hot so off he staggered. At that point I discovered DH's side of the bed was absolutely drenched in sweat right through to the mattress (to the point where I wonder if he had a seizure and I didn't wake up, though I can't see how that could happen). I told DS2 to sleep on my side of the bed and I put towels down on DH's side for me to lie on, which was not only uncomfortable but not good enough and I ended up soggy . I didn't sleep anyway as I was worried I wouldn't hear if DH had aseizure in the next room. Safe to say the boys aren't in my good books today!!

I'm supposed to be out tonight at a fundraiser too. Will need matchsticks for my eyelids!!

Send jugs full of coffee your way :beer: Sorry to hear you had a cruddy night, I hope tonight is better for you. Missy Hinge used to have seizures in her sleep alot and we were sleeping through them and waking up to a zombie like missy Hinge in a wet bed
she has a bed alarm now to alert us and it is so loud it would wake the whole street :eek:

Thanks Mrs H Xx

Postie just knocked with a letter needing signed for. I've won a £100 gift voucher for a restaurant chain :j. I'm liking this comping lark Xx

wahey to all the good luck you are having. Brilliant news re holiday. You've been to Edinburgh so why not do Glasgow side if you come to Scotland. If you went down by Loch Lomond you would be near Glasgow and all the attractions there but also near all the amazing things that go on around the Loch side and lots of it is free. There is a caravan park in Balloch that is really nice. Have a wee look see xx

Wow looks like I've missed a few goings on, I was on my belated summer holiday (first family holiday) and did my best to stay screen free!

Glad you and DS1 had good birthdays and hope the 4 stone award is back within reach soon. Big well done on the decreasing debt - you are doing so well! And yey on the holiday fund, very much deserved.

Are the boys doing OK being back at school?

Yay to the restaurant voucher PLMBL, this really has been your week xx

Great news about the holiday grant and restaurant voucher Lucky. It's about time you had some luck. Fab

Hi all, thank you for being so positive and supportive. You have given me a boost tonight which I needed.

DH has increased his tablets. This was suggested by the Consultant in July, but I requested that we wait until the boys went back to school after the summer holidays as previous increases have made him Mr Angry. Think I made the right decision as he is :mad::mad::mad:. He has also had a partial seizure tonight so I'm not even sure it's worth it. Feeling a bit 'wounded' if I'm honest.

MiT, thank you for the Glasgow idea, I'll look into it Xx

Nicky, the boys are doing well back at school. The only thing is that DS1 said he wanted to try taking the school bus again (I've been dropping him off since the bullying issue at Easter) so off he went up to the bus stop, but came back 10 mins later in tears saying he was too scared :(. So we are sticking with taking him in the car for now.
