You take care on that ice Beanie!
Slight lightbulb moment! Decided to google how long after DH taking Clobazam I can give him buccal midazolam incase the worst happens (they are from the same family and not supposed to be used together, though I was wondering if say 6 or 12 hours later would be ok), and came across a thread where people were complaining how awful clobazam makes their loved ones mood/how drowsy it makes them. Perhaps that's what is up with DH rather than a seizure building?? Lets cling to that idea and hope that's what it is!!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Hi lucky, I bet the little donkey was gorgeous I love them all dressed up and being cute! My nehpews were both sheperds and I was SO proud.
With regards to 'treating' yourself from MiL how about a voucher for a spa? Like a massage, facial or something to relax have a couple of hours away and you cant give it to the other family or pay off debt! x

Oooh I like Brightspark87 idea..... Must admit I am feeling so much better having had a massage yesterday.
Re Medicatons and moods, has anyone suggested keeping a medication/mood/thought/symptoms diary? If you can it can be very insightful can help with putting strategies in place - ie quiet social time, when medication peaks.... And will perhaps help when discussing with professionals. although I know finding the time.....

Evening all!
Sparky, I shall certainly give the spa idea some thought thank you. So far I've been leaning towards new trainers! It would be nice to be spoiled for a while but thinking practically I probably need trainers more.
BM, I suppose to a certain extent I just use this diary to record DH's mood swings etc, though I do make notes elsewhere if it's particularly bad.
Beanie, a very happy Friday to you too Xx
So, we have survived without incident since I last posted yesterday. DH has been more stable mood and tiredness wise, and DS2 went to school happily woth no more mentions of sore throats.
Yesterday was a much needed NSD as I had just £2 to my name, but today brought my pay from Mr A's so we were able to go food shopping this afternoon.
Hope everyone has a fab weekend XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Hi Lucky - just catching up with you and pleased to see things have been relatively calm
Long may it continue.
I also think your present from MIL should be along the lines of pampering. Something you wouldn't normally spend money on yourself. It would do you good.
Hope this weekend is a good one with no incidents!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Another weekend gone in the blink of an eye!!
DS1 was on a Cubs trip yesterday to the local BBC radio/tv studios and ended up being interviewed live on air :j. It wasn't supposed to happen but the presenter invited them on and then asked to speak to the eldest Cub which was DS1. Proud Mummy moment!
DS2 has had 2 parties to attend this weekend, one each day. Such a busy social life!!
DH has continued to be angry at everything. Today is day 5 of 10 days on the new tablets and I really don't know if I'll be able to stick it out til day 10!!
Today has been a NSD!Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
