    Thank you x

    Sorry for the silence. I'm so exhausted. The worry of the appointment. Youngest not being herself and just my general worrisome self is a bit heavy. Then I had no excuse not to attend my own appointments today and that always leaves me feeling even more drained.

    I'm just tired. I'm sure I'll be fine again in a few days.

    Still no cheque. It needs to hurry up as I'd planned on it being in and spent on bills by now.

    Hope everyone's well I will catch up again

    Afternoon. Thank you for all your replies
    Still no cheque :cool:

    Anyway

    Today's appointment actually went okay and we have no need to see that specialist again as she isn't concerned about the things we where there for. A review in 12 months unless things progress I will take as a win. We really don't need another set of appointments and things added into the mix :o

    I still haven't had the chance to catch up with everyone as it's still quite hectic here. Along with that I had a switch of my own meds and it always rocks the boat slightly :o

    Today wasn't a nsd as I used the change in my purse from last week and bought coffee at the hospital - the paper cup kind. It was really good and I do feel slightly guilty but it was worth it!

    The smalls have a busy weekend and it will just be me and youngest for the main part. We have no plans for ourselves so will probably be really lazy and just take time out of the busy to do lists.

    I haven't had a chance to meal plan etc but with it only being the two of us for the weekend we will definitely manage until Monday when I will have done my meal plan and list etc.

    Just a 4 day week next week at school and then we have 2 weeks off :D So I need to look at what we can do to fill the days in between and around appointments. Need to make sure I stick to my own appointments too and have asked smalls dad to take leave from work next Wednesday and the Wednesday after so I can't use the smalls as an excuse not to go!

    Hope everyone is well

    Hi WB :) Excellent news about the appointment today - must be such a relief there's nothing extra to worry about for the time being. :) It's good to read small's Dad is also helping out.

    Will DD2 miss the others this weekend or will she be quite happy having you all to herself? xx
