  • Merry Christmas!!!!! Hope you have all had a lovely day surrounded by loved ones, presents and food.

    We've had a fab time. Boys woke us up at 6.45am, so not too bad. They were inundated with presents and are very happy with what they got. DH's best mate and his daughter came round this morning and then the rest of the day was spent at MiL's, with my Mum and her partner too. Happy days.

    (Apart from countless waves of fear :(. Pleased to have made it through the bulk of Christmas, but can't see it being much longer before a full seizure happens).

    Goes without saying, today was a NSD!!

    Glad to hear you had a good day and hope the waves of fear amounted to nothing. Well done on the NSD. I managed to spend £16 as unfortunately I was first to the bar at the local pub :(

  • Happy Boxing Day :D.

    Can't believe it, but still no seizure *touches wood*. DH slept in until 8.40am which is unheard of for him unless he is 'poorly', so I was getting quite nervous (I'd been up since 7am). However, when he woke up he was slow and 'vague' but nothing worse, and he got better/more himself quite quickly.

    We stayed in the house most of the day, watching films and building Lego etc. DH and DS1 went along to the basket ball court at the end of the road for a while this afternoon, but DS2 didn't want to go so I stayed home with him and worried until they got back! We then heard the weather warnings for snow around here from tonight, so I decided to go against my planned NSD and dragged everyone to Mr A's for a few things so we are covered incase we can't get out. Although I live in Newcastle, we are actually in a village right on the outskirts and when it snows we can be quite cut off.

    Tomorrow is my Mum's birthday, so assuming we can get out we will be seeing her for a while. We were invited out for a meal with them but to be honest we can't afford it so we won't be going. It's my Auntie's (Mum's Sister) 60th birthday on Monday (they were born two days less than a year apart!!) so we are all supposed to be out for a meal then too. Mum suggested that Auntie's was more important this year as her's is a special birthday and Mum is 'just' 59!!

    Not feeling my best tonight, can't tell if I'm coming down with something or if I've just eaten too much rubbish. Don't think chocolates and mince pies make your ears hurt too though :(.

  • Hi PLMBL, so pleased you had a lovely Christmas and I have my fingers crossed that your OH doesn't have a seizure.

    You did the right thing going out for supplies, I'm hoping we miss the snow in Lancashire, although the temperature has dropped, kids would be happy but I hate the stuff.

    Take care.x.
