Boo to the chavs, sore foot and DH and his waves


But glad DS had a brilliant birthday
Take care Lucky xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Waves tailed off but he is hyper this morning which is very odd considering I’m normally complaining he’s too slow! It’s like he’s stuck on fast forward :eek:. I keep saying, breathe, calm down. He can’t focus enough to be fast :rotfl: XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Oh gosh I hope DH stops being in fast forward mode soon :eek: xMummytogirls x0

DH is back to slow and confused
. I had to show him where the toilet was this morning (in our house!!) because he had forgotten where it was :eek:. I’m feeling rather depressed about it all today, and tired as he was very jerky in his sleep last night too.
DS1 was off with a poorly tummy yesterday, but has gone back to school today.
Not a lot else to report - just want to curl up into a ball

It must be so hard to cope with Lucky
I hope you felt a bit better as the day went on.
Think about Florida

Hi all, sorry been MIA for a few days. Still no full TC seizure for DH but some VERY dodgy days. On top of that DS1 went downhill quickly again, and we suspect it’s Aussie Flu :eek:. He finally has a (tiny) bit of colour in his cheeks which is a welcome change from the grey, and his temperature is closer to normal than in the 39’s.
I’m so tired and diet has gone out of the window
. Anyone want any chocolate before I finish it?? Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Finish the chocolate you deserve it!
Hope everyone is feeling much better soon and things get easier.

Decided I need to focus on Florida - something positive.
On the upside, I’ve realised that the ESTAs we applied for last year are valid for two years, so that’s 4 x $16 saved :j.
I’ve been looking at buying attraction tickets for the things we want to do there this time, and if I was to go ahead with it all, it’ll be £1700 :eek:. So do I go for it, make amazing memories for the boys and still see it as a ‘cheap’ way of getting to Florida, or do I do it as frugally as possible so it remains a ‘free’ holiday?? The boys really want to swim with dolphins at Discovery cove, which is a big chunk of that price. DH and I swam with them in the sea on honeymoon, and I still remember every last detail 15 years later (though DH doesn’t
). I’d like them to experience it, but it’s a lot of money. I’d have to pay £80 deposit and then the rest in 9 weeks time. Hmmm. Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
