    Still no cheque yet.

    Limping a lot less as the lymph node has decreased in size :T. Hopefully I won't be limping at all tomorrow as it's my cousin's wedding! Really looking forward to that.

    Boys are thrilled to be finished school for Easter now, not least because all their friends still have one day to go! I'm just pleased to have them off and with me.

    Gained at chub club last night and now weigh the same as an elephant. Went shopping with my Sister and tried on bridesmaid dresses today. I look like an elephant too :(.

    Boo to the weight gain and I'm sure you don't look anywhere near as bad as you think - most of us are guilty of being over critical of our appearance. It's so hard to stick to a diet when you have so much going on in your life, I'm the same. Sometimes you just don't have time to plan. But you're doing the right thing to keep going and you'll be back on track soon.

    Glad you're feeling better and have a great time at the wedding :)

    Evening all!

    The wedding was just perfect! My Cousin looked stunning and she had thought of EVERYTHING. Lots of little personal touches and we'll be talking about it for years to come.

    But

    At about 7.30pm I looked at DH and could tell he wasn't right. He started chewing and was rambling on about how he'd lost his phone which he hadn't. Led him outside but he was walking funny which attracted everyone's attention, so we had lots of people running after us. Thankfully it was just a partial seizure not a full tonic clonic and some time outside and then sitting on a sofa pulled him round. We decided to go home obviously, but as we were getting sorted DS1 accidently hit DS2 in the face. Cue lots of tears from both of them and more drama. It was a very fraught journey home :(. Apparently I had a nightmare last night and was shouting and grabbing DH!! I don't remember any of it but I'm not surprised! I felt completely frazzled when I went to bed.

    Today we tried to do an Easter egg hunt at a Nat Trust place but it was so packed they were turning people away! Went to the beach instead and was lucky enough to just get a parking space as someone was leaving. Queue for fish and chips was about an hour long so we didn't bother, but the boys had fun on bouncy slides etc anyway. Then we went to a smaller Nat Trust place to try our luck. Was amazed to get in no problem, then discovered they weren't starting their hunt until tomorrow!!! Nice day anyway, and loved the sunshine!

    Still no cheque in yesterday's post, obviously no post today as it's Good Friday. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

    DS2 threw up all over his bedroom at about 10pm last night :(. He seems absolutely fine today so not sure what that was all about, but we've stayed in this morning anyway just incase. Pity though, as it's been dry thus far.

    Cheque has just arrived :j:j:j:j:j.
