Heehee, thank you! Do you want brown bread or white, and do I have to do silly faces while singing 'The runaway train' as I zoom in with the medicine spoon? :rotfl:particular ways she takes medication (e.g. in a jam sandwich, or while singing a song!),

Oh wow it gets better Brown or white would be fine but if you could cut the crusts off that would make my day. Trains, aeroplanes, animals noises are all acceptable along with plenty of silly faces :rotfl: 0 -

Thank you again for all your replies (I'm still catching up!) Trying not to spend too much time on my phone when the smalls are awake/around.
We've had a pretty lazy day. Washing/cleaning is all caught up on finally. Have some ironing and the floors to do when everyone's in bed. They are just eating dinner (not posting the meal plan either as that's shockingly unhealthy compared to normal) But they are fed.
Still feeling pretty awful! but got to carry on - no one else will do it for me “Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
The respite nurse is good news
Take it easy & no you are so NOT lazy
