Oh, I hope she's better soon! It's dreadful to have a child scared and in pain.
Wow! to the weight loss! Just make sure you are getting the nutrients you need missus
You will have made quite an impression with that start (though as you say - first week people do tend to get a good loss). I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Thank you x
Thank you Beanie I think we are managing to keep it under control a bit more now. She isn't doing anything other than laying down but better than being so uncomfortable. till makes me sad when I stop to think though.

I really don't have much to report.
The good thing with youngest being like this we haven't left the house. I have spent this morning batch cooking all the things in the fridge. So while the fridge looks slightly emptier the freezer is now full!
Things are just ticking along (slowly)

Hope DD is feeling a bit brighter this evening WF.
Re driving it is the best thing I ever did! I had my first driving lesson on my 17th birthday

It's ages since I posted , hope DD is feeling better . Home was the best place today as it was so windy. At least you have meals now if you are busy with appointments you will have meals made .
I see the road that was shut last August is now fully open again, which should help with the traffic. Great news to hear you are thinking of taking up driving , that would be so useful in many ways.
My friend puts her dog in a cage when she goes out , but I find it strange as my DD has never used one for her Lab, but each to their own.
Thank you for asking about waiting time at hospital on my thread. I never asked whilst I was there , your comment made me phone and ask. They said about 8 weeks .
Not long again till the school hols , time flies these days.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Thanks all x
Cumbria I know! Hoping it makes the traffic lighter again on my main road now. Fingers crossed it stays open :cool:
School holidays will be here soon! I can't wait
