(((AnW'sMum))) I dont think any of us can imagine what its like for you. Is there anything practical any of us can do to help you out?No food to offer you except for a sandwich. I need to do a food shop tomorrow! xx

Jill - what are you having for lunch and dinner? I have had porridge for breakfast, 2 dried apricots for power snack and a ham sandwich with melon for lunch. And lots and lots of water!!!!

(((Nicki))) - I can understand. DD goes to her Dads on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I miss her loads (I dont miss him in the slighest). I think the way I've coped is to try to keep myself busy, meet up with friends, goes to the pictures etc xx

don't be silly - i couldn't eat for the 6 hours i was in hospital yesterday so i was bound to lose some weight.

seriously, i've been doing the eye toy kinetic game for ps2. not sure i should be doing it with my arm but there you go...i am careful!

pigpen

lol.. well that doesn't count then!!! I'd stuff my face in the crisp packet if I couldn't use my arms lol.. I have been known to open crisps with scissors when my wrists have been bad lol..

I need the loo.. and today I've done NOWT.. nothing.. nada.. zip..

Off for a dance in the kitchen.. anyone coming?? I can call it HHE if I really get naughty!!

tracyg

Mudbath - I bet you've lost more weight than that because that cast must weigh a bit! Feel for you with the pain, the man who did it is going to have some MAJOR bad karma coming his way LOL

Nicki - hugs,xxxx
Embb - sounds like you need a hug too
Tai & GunsandB - yuck at poorly children, nothing worse, hugs!

Been out all morning, DS fell asleep in car on way home so straight in cot and just done some ironing. Had one of those moments this morning which happen very rare but when time seems to go slow and you seem to do loads in a few minutes, very strange.

Could do with running hoover about later and need to nip up to Aldi for a few bits.

IL's being total PITA now, more offers of help than I know what to do with, fhey're feeling very gulity I think and realising how stroppy I can be. Me and DH ended up having words about them last night, he was saying 'you need to make an effort, shes my mother' my reply - 'yeah and I'm your wife and mother of your child, you should have more respect for me than anyone'.

Ooohhh, good news though, council tax bill arrived and LESS than I budgeted for, never had a proper bill with moving here with only a few months left to pay. Rang to set up direct debit and have done it by 11 instalments instead of 10 and I've got about £65 spare now each month!!! Will be able to have some nice treats now! ALways seems to be the other way and I feel I'm constanely paying out.

Right, a cuppa I think - and crisps now you've been talking about them
