    OH NO!
    Scout leader just called, DS2 had an accident and have to go to A&E cause he might have a broken wrist.
    DH just went to get take him there.
    Last time we had an accident (DS1) we didn't think it was serious (schoolnurse said it wasn't) and he's stuck with a crooked finger for life! They tried to straighten it out but didn't work and he'hasn't forgiven anyone for it yet (going on 18 months - the boy can hold a grudge I tell you that.)
    Hope we are overreacting this time and nothing is broken. It really upsets me when they get hurt.

    DH just called from the hospital DS2s wrist is really swollen and apparently EVERYONE is in A&E tonight, even a long wait to see the triage (sp?) nurse, could be a long night.
    DS1 is home and has gone to bed, and I'm not sure what to do now.....

    Hugs, I hope DS2 is O.K and doesn't have to wait too long. Nothing else you can do at the moment (except have a glass of wine and relax til he gets back!)

    I have just finished the bathroom and its sparkling. D.H has just got in from work and said, oh I was going to cut my hair tonight (in the bathroom) you don't mind do you. Well if he thinks I'm sweeping hair off my nice shiny floor he can think on. I'll get him the dustpan and brush ready:D

    Germish - big squishy hugs from a mum who's DS broke his arm twice in one summer. It is horrid but he'll be fine and will spend hours telling anybody who will listen the whole story in glorious detail

    Soappie - so glad you and your car are ok, some drivers are a real worry

    Mudbath - hugs for you and your Dad, what caused the bleed last time?

    Too kids in bed and DS1 in his room reading/revising/daydreaming more likely.

    I need to do a list update to clear my head for tomorrow - invigilating first thing but just another short exam.

    Hi everyone.

    Been to work today and Im shattered. We have had a really busy day but the nice bit was going out for our lunch which doesnt often happen. The cients really enjoyed it.

    We seem to have a resident wild bunny in the garden at work. We back onto some woods so there is lots of wild life. This rabbit has been around for a week or two. Its having a good munch of the garden and we have been given it food. It doesnt seem fazed when people are outside and will let you get to within a foot of it then runs.

    Dont think im up to any flying tonight. Will get stuck in tomorrow.

    bonsibabe Got everything crossed for you. Also positive vibes winging there way.

    Johanne Big hugs for you.

    giddykipper Welcome! Like your user name.

    Confused Thiking of you.

    Soappie Glad you are ok.

    germish Hope DS2 is ok and not in A&E for hours.

    Hugs for anyone else who needs them.

    Dusty - he had a TIA several years ago which caused the initial bleed. He knew it had happened because his sight went for a few minutes but came back. This time he's not been aware of anything. Problem is, he's on warfarin now which is keeping him alive but also causes some blood vessels to leak. It doesn't do to think about it too much!

    Germish - hopefully he won't be there too long. Horrid having to wait though for both you and him.
    I've condensed all my notes into 8 pages. Just have to make myself learn it tomorrow. Haven't I said that before.

    Ok, that didn't take to long anyway, DS2 is home complete with a plaster!! Hope he'll get rid of it before he goes away for a month.
    Thanx for supporting me, I know it's silly but little things really upset my little world (I'm a slowly recovering depressive).
    Needless to say DS2 is quite pleased with himself......
