    I'm with you on the wine Dusty, but cinzano and lemonade is my tipple.... got a nice big glass of it to raise to my granda. Having his birthday on St Paddies Day, it seem appropriate.

    Join in with a cuppa if you have to pigpen, nana is coping, but dont think it has sunk in that he has gone yet. She is still talking to the wedding photo's. We all cope in different ways eh?

    Here's to my granda, sleep well, we'll see you soon. Love you!

    Blessings

    LOL

    DS2 is fine.. it was a growth review.. they are trying to iron out a 'supply' issue with his growth hormone and supplied us with some needles to tide us over until his are delivered.. he told me yesterday he had 3 left!!

    They have actually linked both his and DD4's appointments for next time so that should make life easier.. I might not get my couple of hours with them on their own but never mind.. hubby won't be able to whinge about having to take 2 days off work!

    Any ideas how we can get another 5kg on him before August?!!

    For anyone who is interested... I am making prgress on the college course search.

    Decided I want to get HNC Applied Biological Science eventually.

    Discovered what qualifications I need to get into that course.

    Found out I have to cintact SQA to find out what bloody qualifications I actually have as I have not got a clue.

    Higher courses are usually only one day a week so that should be easy peasy! :rotfl:

    Decided I should just go into the college and speak to someone.

    Pigpen, vets use corn oil, is he anything like a horse at all?

    Sounds like he is making progress though.

    No idea sorry, my little bro was like that, and he was a fidgiter, his arms and legs would twitch constantly so he burned off calories like nobdies buisness!

    He is now a strapping tall but skinny chef.

    Hi all just trying to catch up, taking me ages. Wanted to say lots but forgotten who to.

    Soappie - DOn't buy frontline from vets, you can get it online, the one we used was something pet pharmacy I'm sure, will have a look for you if you want. It was almost half the price!
    Need to sort my life out! :T

    He has big goofy teeth is that horselike enough??

    He has twitchy things and has just developed a new one. hand flapping.. I don't think I can cope with that.. eye rolling and eye flicking and finger sucking I can cope with!!

    I am in this week just not had time to post. Taken ages to catch up with the thread.

    Lilme - Well done on the result of your exam.

    Soappie - I think, glad you were ok when your car broke down, not nice.

    Where is Galant? I haven't had a cigarette for 2 days - and I'm ready to explode!!!!

    Summermoon - hugs for you and your family. Hope you all have very happy memories, they are very important at a time like this.

    Been to work today, but have been a lovely mummy and made choc muffins, banana muffins and sort of flapjacks (more like FLATJACKS!) for school coffee morning/concert thingy. Very tempted to eat them, I really want a fag!!!
    Need to sort my life out! :T
