Almost finished today;s list, even got to my Strollercise class but then Mum was rushed into hospital and haven't been home long, she has been admitted with a fingers crossed a gastric infection tht isnt cancer related, so hoping to have her home by weekend
Starting my 6 week 121 personal training at a local gym tomorrow morning, arranged by my hospital which i am looking forward to, thankfully its 9:30 long before visiting time so i should be able to manage it before i return to hospital to be with mum0 -
Donnajt sorry about the pain and lack of sleep - rubbish isn't it when you eventually drift off only to be woken by an alarm.
Feeling like my old arch nemesis Anxiety is starting to creep back so need to try to keep myself busy today whilst still being kind to myself. The potential horse I thought I had found is not right for me as gives my back twinges due to me having to keep kicking him on so will have to let him go. Woke up countless times in the night feeling sick, tight chest and am now so tired with a stinking headache. Going to do some flying and see if a bit of exercise helps plus I'll feel better if the house looks a bit better. Got WM and DW on already.
Anyone fancy a HHC at 9.45?
Thank you mumof2, got back from hospital and had a 30 min powernap, just walked dog and now settled with a bowl of carrot fries to watch Silent Witness
Do you know what is causing the anxiety? I hate waking up with the panics, with mum being in hospital I am predicting an anxious night, hope the anxiety eases quickly x shame about the horse, fingers crossed the right one comes along soon0 -

Took elderly relative food shopping and to do some admin jobs, dropped her home and walked the dog. Got 20 mins admin to do for DH now then will make an early lunch. Afternoon priority is ebaying x
atypicalblonde, poor little man, hope he is ok, amazing how chocolate buttons or haribos work wonders in crisis0 -
I just got back from collecting Dot.. she has smashed her glasses into her face, grazed both knees and her forehead and badly bruised her thumb. I am utterly boiling but I guess the extra walking is good for my lardy arris!
I had run the DW and both WMs before I left though.
Poor Dot!!!0 -
When I was younger (about 10) I had to have four teeth out. My mum got me a special 'pad' from the hospital (or so I thought, she was a nurse) to cover my bleeding mouth, then wrapped a scarf round. Years and years later I twigged - it was a sanitary towel - the scarf was to hide it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Pigpen - if anyone can, it's you! I think any GP would take your worries seriously.
LW - I found something that works if we need to give our hound a tablet - dunk in cold KFC gravy. It's so gloopy that it completely covers the tablet and he's swallowed it before he even knows what it is. Not quite so easy with the cats.
Worked later than expected, home to prep tea for DS2 and OH before dropping DS1 off for his lift and tutoring for an hour. Pleasant surprise - 17p for a tub of Bombay potatoes RTC at Mr T's, which made a nice tea with the rice the family had left me. Now I'm flopped on the sofa and don't want to move.0
