It's time to begin.....

Sorry to hear but it felt more positive that it’s healing now which is good.

Not easy, but try and look after yourself as well as poss and take any pressure off of yourself where you can.

Glad she is healing well, it amazes me how well children can heal compared to adults, even after set backs! Sorry to hear about your poor car, it never rains it pours!I It is good to have you back! Take care of yourself and your little one

So sorry to hear about your daughter’s accident, I’m really glad that she is on the mend but what a horrific time for you both. 

Wishing her all the best for a speedy recovery from here on!

Sorry to hear of your troubles. It must have been very worrying. Glad your daughter is recovering.

Yes she was extremely excited to get back to school today. She's got a follow up with the plastic surgeons again at the end of the week ot check everything is still healing well. We made a den in the garden yesterday - rigged a tarp between two trees and had a load of blankets in and she and I had a lovely afternoon. 

I'm on with a healthy eating kick as of today- I didn't get to the gym at all in the last 4 weeks (obviously) and given I ate canteen food which was mostly stodge for 12 days I had a massive teenage style outbreak of spots across the last 2 weeks (I reckon also stress induced) but they've cleared up now so I've had soup and fruit for lunch and have drunk a ton of water. 

My morning classes have been lovely- I've missed (most of) the kids and they've (mostly) missed me so been having some nice catchups.

So glad to hear she is recovering well, hope first day back at school was good!

Hope car repair all straight forward and gets sorted soon as well.

School have been brilliant and they've found ways to include her in the activities she isn't allowed to do at the moment. (Yesterday she had a stopwatch and clipboard to record people's times in run a mile which she absolutely loved. 

Got another graft review tomorrow morning so fingers crossed everything is still healing well.

The graft review went really well- it's almost all closed up now. She's got steroid cream on some of the site to settle down some of it that was healing too quickly (forming little bumps because the healing was ahead of the rest of the graft) but the best news is that she no longer is in a bandage (just a large dressing plaster) and so can go back to wearing normal shoes! Which was well timed as we were at a family wedding yesterday. 

Wedding was lovely; and I'm not one to turn down a free meal. All in spent £79- £40 for present, £30 for petrol for journey and £9 on drinks (tab on bar lasted for 2/3 of the day and then there was wine on the tables for dinner.) 

It's our biggest hobby weekend of the year this weekend coming; husband being a nightmare (stressing about the big dark thing that never actually happens) but it was always going to be so. I'm looking forward to catching up with friends- got some sewing commissions to finish in the evenings this week. In good news I get paid Friday morning so the supplies shop I'll need to do on Friday morning will come out of May's groceries budget. (I take a camping stove and easy meals to cook in the evenings which prevents overspending by getting a takeaway/going to pub every evening.)

That is great news about DD, I am pleased the school are also being very thoughtful and including her. Oh that was good spending on the wedding! Have a great time at your hobby weekend, hopefully DH won't bring you down once you are there!
