    Crossed posts - as long as you like the dress and feel good in it that's all that matters. Hope DH is ok. Big hugs xx

  • Thanks SA. Random woman trying something on in the changing room commented how nice it was on me, and DH and the boys like it too. Sent a photo to my bestie who says it’s lovely and “when will I learn not to listen to my Mum?!” :rotfl:. Xx

  • Thanks Beanie and Mummy Xx

    Need to vent a bit, sorry. DH has been hard work the last few days. He’s had a lot of partial seizures, but has also got a bit of a tremor in his arms which is new. He has just dropped the dog’s (full!) food bowl all over the floor, and I’m not sure if it was just an accident or if it’s the tremor :eek:.
    Obviously I’m worried about DH, and so is MiL, which is posing it’s own problem. She’s fragile anyway at the moment as it’s FIL’s anniversary on Tuesday, but she has got herself all wound up which has wound DH up too, and I feel we are going round in circles.
    I haven’t slept well for at least 4 nights due to the partial seizures etc, though probably a lot longer because of my own worries. This probably makes DH’s issues feel worse as I’m less tolerant because I’m tired. For example, our conversations go like this;
    Me - “I need to go shopping, shall we all go or shall I go on my own?”.
    DH - “Go alone, DS1 will ring you if there’s a problem”.
    Me *puts shoes on*
    DH - “Where are you going?”
    Me - “The shop”
    DH *looks shocked and hurt*. “Can I not come?”

    Aaaargh

    Awww PLMBL, I can totally see why you are frustrated. How about his friend, could he come round and take him out so you can have a break for a little while?

    Hopefully you can get in contact with his doctors next week and get the tremor checked out.

  • His friend is still recovering from his own accident Mummy :mad:. He is still on crutches and can’t drive for 6 months after being knocked unconscious :(. Other friends are on holiday or busy with work/childcare. Xx

  • Best Mate is the one who had the accident Beanie. We haven’t seen Paramedic Mate for quite a while. I get the feeling all is not rosy for him :(. Ex Army mate is away this week, but they will be going to gym together again after then.

    I slept well last night and there were no more partial seizures :j. Amazing how much more perspective can be gained when you aren’t exhausted!

    I have requested £100 back from utility company. I’m in tripple that amount credit and could’ve had more, but I don’t want to get into difficulties over Winter. It’s always there if I’m desperate nearer Christmas. Made an eBay sale of £8 yesterday, which is more than I expected to get, so I’m happy with that. Need to do more listings.
