    Morning all. Didn't want to get out of bed this morning, and I still want to go and crawl back in but I have an ebay parcel to dispatch urgently and I need to go to Asda. I'm tired, I've got a cold and I feel sick, but I think the sickness is down to the after effects of ex being here last night and the things we discussed.

    (((Hugs))) to pigpen and AnW'smum

    Well this week has been a non starter for me, it hasn't even got off the starting block. So I am going to jump in and do Thursday's list and kind of incorporate a bit of each day as I go along.

    *Hugs* Pigpen, I hope it goes okay at the Dr's today with your DS. If it is diabetes it isn't the end of the world these days and it's very easy to include his dietary requirements into your own diet. I thought it was the end of the world when I was diagnosed but funnily enough we eat so much better now and I always know when I have had too much sugar. So I just readjust the next days diet.

    *Hugs* to everyone that needs/wants them today.

    :hello: Morning everyone. Yay I figured out how to get the smilie box back. I had blocked pop ups. Im waiting for the electric company to come and change my meter. Between 8 and 1 they said. So plan to catch up on my flying while waiting.

    mumoftwo I had bother with my internet connection the other day. Im with Orange. It was down all day.

    AnWsMum Big hugs for you.

    pigpen Hope your visit to the docs with DS2 goes ok.

    nicki Big hugs for you too.

    I was thinking of a theme song for us. Instead of We Are Sailing it could be We Are Flying. Will have to think of the rest of the words though. Or is anyone good at that sort of thing.

    Off to fly and catch up.

    *giggles*

    Did I make an error there then?? *giggles*

    (accidentally on purpose!)

    At our gp surgery you have to phone in the morning for an appointment that day.. the phones are manned from 8am.. I got through at 8:19.. and there were no appointments left... so I whinged.. so he is there at 10am lol.. And I've drafted a letter of complaint about the appointments system and emailed it to the surgery and the health authority.. I do it every time we haev to amke an appointment.. they will change it eventually.
