  • Hi all,

    Grandma is still in hospital but is out of Coronary care and back on a normal ward. Was supposed to go in and see her tonight but I’m poorly and don’t want to pass on any potential germs.

    We went to see Kynren last night as a competition win. It’s a massive outdoor production and the Heavens opened en route despite no rain being forecast. I had no coat and we all got absolutely soaked. The actual event was amazing but I’m not surprised that I’m ill today. It may well be something else and just a coincidence, but I feel fluey and wiped out. MiL is having a BBQ currently as she has some friends visiting from down south, but I’ve stayed home while DH and the boys go.

    DS1 is hyper emotional at the moment. If he was a girl I’d think it was ‘time of the month’. He’s having massive swings between anger and crying and it’s exhausting for everyone :(.

    They still have hormones though Lucky, it's horrible for them and a downside of being young :(

    Boo to the rain last night. Typical after all the lovely weather we've had.

    Hope you feel better soon xx

  • Thank you both :A.

    I’m feeling better today which was a good job as DS2 was at a party at 10am this morning :eek:. I had a nice time chatting to the other Mums while the kids were partying :D.

    Went to Mr A’s afterwards and they had reduced some party things like table cloths, plates, napkins and signs, so despite penny pinching I decided they were too good a bargain to pass up and I got them. Everything else I’m trying to get cheaply on eBay or Amazon. I’ve made a small sale on eBay tonight so that’s about £4 in PayPal now, and I’ve cashed out another £5 Amazon gift card from swagbucks :T.

    Just had an email to say I’ve won £250 :j:j:j. I’m so thrilled and thankful. Today would’ve been my Dad’s birthday and I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but I’d like to think it’s from him :A Xx

    Brilliant news Lucky... and who;s to say your Dad didn't play a part in you winning that money. XX
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
