Morning, just. Been for DS2s appointment, they've started him on ome medicine hoping to help his day time wetting frist, see how it goes. DS1s still off, still has his rah which hasn't changed, problem is now I have a rash aswell........my hands and arms are covered. I still don't know if his is chicken pox never mind what on earth is causing mine.

Anyway, DS2 dumped at school, last day today before their half term and he didn't want to miss Art and DT. DP gone back to bed as he was in late then had to look after DS1 while I was out. Tempted to go back there myself when he gets up, I feel very tired. I've just had an early lunch (skipped breakfast) chicken with hm stuffing (left over in freezer from Christmas) and cranberry sauce sandwich. Amazing how nice something is at the 'wrong' time of year. It tasted Christmasy :rotfl:

DS1 being off can help me with the boys rooms, his needs the most doing anyway, but of a poo tip in there. Do some more flinging I think aswell, still sorting through the mountains of toys they have. We also need to work out a revised list of things they want to do in the holidays, think of some more 'at home' things. Meal plan/shopping list needs doing too, defrost freezer and clean that out aswell.

Hi Dusty he's been in good form for the last few days and defo the weather has a lot to do with it, his depression is starting to lift abit. Hopefully by the summer if it's good and with his meds he should hopefully make a good improvement.
