Morning all - haven't been to sleep yet - not on night shift just couldn't switch my mind off enough to sleep so have been playing games on the computer since 4am!

Been a sh**ty week so far - Dad (who has diabetes and is only 60) has been told that unless he wears a surgical boot all the time (which he has so far refused to even try on) they will have to amputate some of his toes or at worst his foot - Mom's two bosses have put their notice in so she doesn't know where she stands and due to sickness it looks like i'll cop for another 3 night shifts this week, rather than the paid overtime I'd put down to do!!!

And I still haven't got a clue what to get anyone for Christmas - double

Morning All

likklegibbon - I hope you're asleep now - sorry to here you're having a tough time at the moment:grouphug:

Tia - hope DS2 is feeling better this morning and you're not feeling as stressed.

:hello: to everyone else.

I've cleared most of the dumping ground/work surface in the kitchen this morning and made the sandwiches for lunch. Just thought I'd pop on and see if we're still online!

Hugs to all
