    The video is lovely. It's just that the link takes you to your FB page with your name and all your girls names on it, wasn't sure if you were happy to divulge, if so just ignore me :)

    Sorry, i overly worry about these things!

    Well Roo has been awake quite a lot poor boy. He's all itchy and grumpy. I think more spots are appearing :(. on a brighter note, I have actually managed to list some things on eBay, only 6 things mind you, but it's the most ive done in about a year or so! Will do more on Sunday. Forgot how quick it is to do on my phone! My credit card debt will be gone by November! Anyway, have been rubbish at cleaning, but will endeavour to get the house back to normal over the weekend.

    CY just a gentle reminder that Macmillan are there, for all of you xx they are not just nurses, they have people to talk to about "stuff", and also advisors on any entitlements etc.
    I spoke to them on waiting for a diagnosis for DH and they talked me through lots plus offered some advice on coping strategies xxx
