    Sorry to hear DH had some more seizures but brilliant that he completed the course. I hope things have asked down now.

    The Japanese convention sounds fun and weird : D

    Well done to MrL and his mates! Have you considered CBD oil for controlling his seizures? H&B sell an inexpensive "starter" oil.. Maybe something to ask the consultant?

    The games convention sounds fun - a great way to spend Fathers' Day! :)

    Great that he completed the course but bad news about mini seizures. Best to mention to consultant. Hopefully that's it with them now. Glad the boys enjoyed the convention.

  • 9 more sleeps!!! :eek:.

    Feeling a bit anxious tonight if I'm honest. Not about going away as such, but about money and what I still have to organise. Think it's time for writing lists to focus me and calm my nerves.

    DH has got a sore throat and hacking cough :(. Hope that naffs off before next week.

    Hope everyone has had better weather than us today! Our thunderstorms were amazing to watch, but left us without electricity for 3 hours :(.

    Lists are good, so you know exactly what you need to do, I think I am on reincarnation 5 of the To do before we leave and a packing list.

    Take each day as it comes...

    We heard thunderstorms were on the way but nothing happened. It was raining and sunny at the same time here around lunchtime.

    So close to your holiday now, how exciting, hope DH stays well. I know how you feel, I've always got my fingers crossed when we're going on holiday because of Mr SA, don't really relax until we're at the airport and checked in.

    Where are you off to BM? If I knew I'm afraid I have forgotten :o.

    Thanks Beanie, I'm trying!! Very trying :p.

    So I now have a 'things to do' list and a 'things to pack' list, so feeling a bit better than I did yesterday. I'm tired though as I didn't sleep well thanks to DH's snoring/coughing/spluttering and ended up on the sofa in the early hours :(. To make myself feel a bit better I have used a home hair dye and painted my nails today :D.
