AnW'sMum I know you'll be there for the verdict by now so once you read this that step will be over. I so hope that the pain is bearable x

Lots of this is only used occassionally but with 3 very sporty boys it is the sticking together/repairing stuff which I use the most.


Soappie - buster is in action here - so I can watch the yellow car opposite come and go.

Right need to strip the beds and put the washing on the line before taking DS1 cricket stuff to school and popping to the next town for a few bits.

My oldest daughter was too but it was undiagnosed.. I was noted as a hysterical neurotic mother.. until she was 2 could just walk and not far.. even though she scream 24/7.. wouldn't weight bear.. didn't EVER move her legs and I took her to the GP every week saying it wasn't right.. but because I had PND it was ignored.. They decided when she was 2 she needed a brace but it was too late and said she had to have physio and may end up with several operations to fix it later. She is often in pain with them and it is totally crap for her... hence when we ended up in a similar place with DS3 and his lactose intolerance I set my mother on them!! lol

Thats terrible pigpen, we were really lucky that we have the top radiologist for this sort of thing working at the hospital near us. Plus his wife is the physiotherapist who diagnosed LO. They check every child born for it, we were missed while we were in hospital so they sent us an appointment to come in to get it checked. Its much more common in girls than boys.

Morning!

How is everyone today. Feeling a little tired myself as DH went out last night then when he did come in at midnight he woke me up then continued to snore all night! Other than that feeling fine and at least DD2 a bit brighter today. She had a good sleep too - think the dose of medised at bedtime helped somewhat!

On to the jobs - bedding in the wash already - have also got kids bedding in the wash as I know I'll be tired tomorrow as I'm working tonight so thought I'd better get a head start.

AnW'smum - read the article last night. Don't even know what to say - it made me feel so sad for you. I think you are so brave. Sending you lots of positive thoughts. xx

Imagine how the World Cup was for me - my DH is South African and I'm English. Mind you I did warn him not to rub it in because I didn't rub it in when England won in 2003!

Ouch!! Sore one. At least you have the opportunity to not rub it in IFSWIM. Apart from elephant polo and curling, we win NOTHING!

We have Andy Murray to support!! He just kicked Federer's !!!:D

G&B/Pigpen both my sis and me were born with that problem, mine sorted itself but sis was missed due to her being a poorly prem and little when she was born so she ended up having a major op at 16 and in a wheelchair for a year, other family members have been born with it too so they have scanned my DS to be sure hes okay

Michelle sams the same, hes not at all ill now but still 'messy', been thinking this morning and I've let his diet slip a bit, I've started letting him have a choc biscuit or a few of my crisps and think thats affecting him, he won't eat any tinned stuff. I would have a word the nursery, its so common surely they've had it before, like you said sounds like they want the money.

AnWs know you won't read this till later but just been looking at the daff's on the grass verge outside my neighbours and been thinking of you and sending positive thoughts

'Yorkshire' meet - would be up for that! I'm in Notts so not far.

AnWsMum - the Daily Telegraph have picked up on the story overnight. It is fairly brief and not as in depth as the Yorkshire Evening Post xx
