    Hahaha I do that way of describing it!! Glad DS1 is well enough to go back to school. Wishing you both all the luck for his SATs this week (so much pressure on such young people its a bit sad really).

    Hope your night out out was fun! haha xx

    Lovely to catch up, liked the first bit about the being stuck in a room and keys and quiz questions but not the serial killer scenario!

    hope last night was good....

  • Quick catch up just to say I'm still here, even if DH doesn't know who I am tonight :(.

    Had a lovely night out on Friday and super cheap too. £5 for the ticket to get in, £3 on raffle tickets (all that went to the charity) and as it was a social club, I only spent £6 on drinks :j. Didn't win anything on the raffle but so what.

    Gorgeous day in the sun at the farm yesterday :D.

    DS1 coped well with his first SAT today, 3 more days to go.

    Consultant appointment for DH went well today too, but he's gone downhill tonight. As I said, he didn't know who I was or what was happening. Waves of fear etc.
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

  • Sorry to hear about DH not knowing who you are, big hugs.
    Sounds as though you had a good cheap night out.
    Fingers crossed the rest of DS tests go well.

    Echo those faults.

    Sounds as if OH brain had worked so hard to digest everything the consultant said, it then shut down, so distressing for you all

    Have you seen the new Gareth Malone Choir series ( Thursday night) ex service personnel for the Invictus Games - there is a guy with a head injury, and it really is enlightening to us who have no brain injury experience

    Hope Mr Lucky is ok. As BM says probably overload of information. Mr SA's the same - their brains can't cope with it.
