    Caught up and just wanted to say... thinking of you
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Please say hello my new diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6578460/still-dancing-to-blow-the-debt-clouds-away
  • Thanks BM.

    Hospital letter arrived today, appointment is a week tomorrow and can take 3 hours apparently :eek:. I'm really quite sore today so it can't come quick enough.

    DH spent some time helping his best mate tinker with his son's motorbike engine today, which he enjoyed. I visited a friend at the same time to drop off her Christmas cards, and it was nice to catch up. While I was there I mentioned I needed to buy stuff for doing the laundry, and she gave me a big box of liquitabs as she buys them in bulk :T. It's my Christmas present apparently :rotfl: but it's easy £12 worth from a supermarket. I have lovely friends!

    Would love a gift like that PLMBL, hate presents that are a waste of money. I have a good friend who would buy me a gift like your friend gave you and she would know I would be grateful. She also knows I am a cake and chocolate addict as we'll.xx

  • I'm a cake and chocolate addict too Amber. Any food infact :rotfl:.

    DH had a bad day yesterday. No full seizure but lots of mini ones and dizzy spells, along with bad tempers and snappyness. Such fun.

    On a brighter note, DS2 had his nativity play which was gorgeous, and I 'only' gained a pound at chub club despite not being there for two weeks. I've also won a facebook competition with a load of Assassins Creed merchandise, which DH's Best Mate is in to, so that's his Christmas present sorted! Xx

    Well done with the win. I often wonder if anyone ever wins the FB competitions and now I know! Boo to DH being off colour though.
