    morning all,

    Cold and bright here again today, off to w**k today so will have a quick swipe round before I go, did a wash last night which is on airer.

    DD keeps getting bad headaches, took her to DR, who said she might need glasses, so got to phone up today, she had such a bad one last night, lights in front of the eyes etc, poor thing was crying which is not like her at all.

    Morning All

    Isnt as painful to sit down at the moment so thats good. Not sure whats happening today, I have a hair appointment saturday which I need to change as we hope to go to Belgium, so am off to the hairdressers after the school run. Would be nice if I could change it to today but think that might be hoping for too much.

    So either will be sitting in a hairdressers chair (which is nicely padded luckily) having coffee bought to me or I will be cleaning bathrooms and washing bedclothes. Option 1 is my favourite at the moment.

    Havnt made up my mind what we are having for tea tonight - menu plan has gone to pot this week. Will have a look in the freezer in a while to inspire me.

    Thats if for now.

    Morning All!

    Haven't been on for a while, been sooooo busy!
    PenPin- Hope the OT can help! Had my lady for the Stair lift Grant forms yesterday, she thinks it may be in by the New Year!

    Donny Gal-Hope your scan goes okay and they find out what's wrong!
    ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) to anyone who needs them.

    Went away to Stephen's in half-term, and we got the news we've dreaded, my Mum definately has Motor Neurone Disease. I was a bit upset, but she was relieved, bit like me when I was told I had MS. At least you know you are not imagining it. As a result, Stephen decided that I should have my engagement ring, it's gorgeous! Whte gold, 1.4 carats and square. He picked it, and he got the size right! My Mum really cheered up when we told her, it's given her something to look forward to.

    Went to Oxford last weekend to see my stepson. He works for the Williams F1 team, and they had an open day at the factory. It was really interesting to see the things involved in making an F1 car!

    Going out today to my local warehouse to do some more Xmas shopping. I'm tryinmg to make baskets for people, I've got a little way, but I'm behind at the moment. I usually get my shopping done in half-term, otherwise it's chaos! My class and the other Yr 5 class are doing a production of "Jack and the Beanstalk" this year, so we've started rehersals already!

    Have a great day all!

    Morning all,

    Just waved DH off as hes away till next week sometime,(no doubt he'll find hes way home when fed up).;)

    Went to Dunelm Mill in Bradford yesturday and came across some Jam pot covers, normally I have to get these from Ebay as no one locally sells them, 2lb & 1lb covers, wax circles, rubber bands & lables 99p for a pack of 20, needless to say they are now out of stock:p

    Mush dash, kids not up yet

    Had my assessment yesterday, so just have to wait now. The doctor was really nice though.

    Congrats on the engagement hilstep2000, sorry to hear about your mum's diagnosis though.

    Morning All

    Had a good day with friends yesterday, everything took a downer when I got home really, but I expected that.

    Pretty normal day today with just work. Need to pack a bag ready for LONDON tomorrow:j Should be such a laugh. Can't believe how many people contacted me to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. I felt so special. It's lovely to know I've such a lot of good friends.

    Not feeling the love for work today, but my mind is firmly on tomorrow:p

    Hope everyone's ok
