    Thanks for the wishes. Sis doesn't think it is as bad as first though as they are waiting to see the doctor and nobody seems to be rushing like they did last time she was taken in.

    Going to do some hoovering and mopping whilst I await an update as Sis kindly said no point inus both sitting up there doing nothing.

    Dusty -you, your mum and your sister are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    Gentle (((hugs))) and GWS vibes to mummyyof5 and Narco.
    Good news about your DS, JTTOU - very pleased for you, as I miss my children if I don't see any of them for 15 weeks, let alone 15 months!
    mrs-mp, that sounds like a great school production. Glad you had a good evening out.
    Yorkshirelass, hope your DH knows how to clear up after himself when he's DIY-ing ;)

    I didn't get much done yesterday, but have begun to get my brain in gear this morning despite feeling grotty after the church meeting yesterday evening which I found particularly upsetting. DH :A offered to make me scrambled egg for breakfast this morning, to try and make me feel better and give me some energy for the day ahead.

    Pleased to say that he now has his birthday present from me, only a few days late (but it should never have taken this long :mad: )

    Today I fully intend to
    - [STRIKE]strip[/STRIKE], air and remake our bed
    - do WM [STRIKE]x1[/STRIKE] x2 x3
    [STRIKE]- phone 2 friends[/STRIKE]
    - send a Very Important email which will take some time to compose
    - send 3 other emails to friends and post some photos to s-i-l.
    - book some tickets for a play
    - do food shopping
    - go to choral society practice this evening

    If I manage anything more than this it will be a bonus ;)
