  • I hope you were well enough to go on Mother's Day and that your cold is on the mend. It's nice to have Tenerife to look forward to.

    I'm glad DS enjoyed his trip; it's sweet that he missed you so much :).

    Well done on the weight loss :) I bet you're feeling much better in yourself for it. Tenerife has come round quick, we go to Lanzarote 3 weeks tomorrow.

  • Thanks ladies :A.

    I managed to go yesterday and sat in the corner away from everyone :rotfl:. Blew kisses rather than gave actual kisses, so hoping I won’t have spread my germs. DS2 has been off school with it today, though if I’m honest I’m still more ill than him

    Got some lovely cards yesterday. I wouldn’t let them buy me anything in the end :o. DH wasn’t impressed, but the money just isn’t there. Ended up having to use the PPI money for normal bills, so not sure what’s gone on there. Will have to go back over the statement to see where I’ve gone wrong. The Mums liked their presents though :T.

    DH has been ‘wavy’ tonight :A.

  • DH had his biopsy on his tongue today :eek:. 6 stitches :(. She did say she agrees with the original diagnosis of Lichen Planus, so nothing too sinister, but we will see for sure with the results.

    I’m one of the ones affected by 3 ‘accidentally’ taking out my direct debit today instead of on the 16th :mad:. Thankfully, DH’s ESA went in today so it was covered. They haven’t even contacted me about it, despite assuring the press they had text everyone affected. Shocking customer service!

    Video now has 440 likes :j. 12 days to go! Xx

    Fingers crossed for nothing sinister, ouch to 6 stitches though!

    Fingers and everything else crossed for your video winning. We'll all be nervous wrecks until it's all over :rotfl:

  • DH’s tongue is less swollen today and a bit less painful. Fingers crossed it’s even better again by tomorrow.

    Receieved a £5 cheque from Plusn3t as they said they hadn’t provided the correct speed in the first few days after our switch. Have banked that already!!

    Spendy day today as the boys needed a few bits for holiday so we went into Primarni. DS1 had outgrown all his swimming shorts :eek: and they both needed flip flops for round the pool.

  • I hope DS's biopsy results come back as okay. It's a shame that you had to spend the PPI money. Maybe you can claw it back somehow.

    It's nice to have your holiday to look forward to :).
