  • DH has had more partial seizures :(. Hoping they don’t develop into
    a big day one :eek:.

    Mum came over today as she’s feeling better. I showed her my dress for the party and she said ‘it was ok’ and ‘would do’. Feel deflated.

    A right mixed bag there! Hope your mum and DH are ok, there's always something. Can't believe the price of the PE kit.

    Glad you feel you're getting somewhere :)
