DH has continued with mini seizures, but less of the weird conversations. He keeps forgetting my name again
. He spent some time with Best Mate today though which gave me a break, and it souns like they had a laugh going through old photos from DH’s racing days.
I had a £5 off voucher for Arg0s that they sent me for my birthday. I spent ages trying to find something cheap enough to get for free, as there was no minimum spend on the voucher, but in the end I ordered a £15 item that DS2 wants for Christmas and paid £10 for it. Something else put by.
DS2 didn’t get the acting job.

I did amazingly well for presents and feel very blessed. I have cash, vouchers, jewellery, smellies, designer gear, chocolates, candles and enough alcohol to open a pub :eek:. So lucky.
My feet hate me today.
Catching up, and just want to say, I felt the same so 9 years on my OH is reminding me now for next year :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I plan to be in Florence at the same time you will be turning 41 !

Sorry to hear DS didn't get the acting job. He'll get another chance, maybe something better next time.
Boo to Mr Lucky being so random but great that he had a catch up with his friend, must be good for him to reminisce about his racing days.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Hi BM :wave::wave:. Nice to have you back. Thank you for reminding me what a fab birthday I had, and also that I never want a party again!! Florence sounds fab, much better idea than a party! I hope you had a good birthday too.
DH is a bit better today thanks. It’s the first day in 7 that he’s had no seizure activity (yet) and seems quite with it. Long may it continue.
Have had confirmation that my £50 cheque is on it’s way from PopulusLive surveys :T. That will go straight into Christmas pot. I also have a referral link for YouGov if anyone’s fancies signing up;

Well we had 2 days of no seizure activity and then another partial last night
.
Cheque from radio cleared yesterday so I moved £200 into the Christmas pot. It remains to be seen if it stays there or if I need to pull it back out for the mortgage next week, as I think we will be short.
Had another injection in my foot this afternoon. It REALLY hurt this time. Hope it’s worth it and it stops me limping again. Having a glass of fizz that I got for my birthday to try to numb the pain :cool:Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
