Oj, hope you sleep really well tonight. I can imagine you had a lot to do today putting all those final touches to the conservatory. So pleased for you. Have you managed to get a hospital bed sorted? I bet you can't wait till you can walk into the hospice and finally bring Steve home. xxx

onlyjoking9329 · 05/04/2008 22:15

onlyjoking9329 · 06/04/2008 09:39

triplets I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing, these are difficult days for you all just concentrate on getting throu the days hour by hour.
elliot has a D&V bug today so we will not be going to the hospice, not sure what to do cos I was going in to bring steves stuff home, when Steve comes home I will have to try to ensure that he doesnt get the bug.

Been AWOL, so am very pleased to get back to this news!

onlyjoking9329 · 06/04/2008 19:44

i found the cause of elliots D&V he had drank some mikk that had gone sour
went in to see steve he is still very confused they have upped his morphine as in a lot of pain at the moment, he was happy when i reminded him that he is coming home tomorrow
steve me and the kids had a great vist had a picnic on and around the bed, then his mother turned up.
there was a spare chair for her as i got Abbey to move for gran, but no Gran wanted the more comfy electric arm chair which elliot was sitting on, so she said to him, elliot would you like to swop seats? of course you know what elliot said, no thanks gran i am perfectly happy here!
she was very frosty the whole time we were there, she didn't look very pleased when i said steve you will be home tomorrow and steve said yes back where i belong
she still thinks steve should be at her house.
It will be very interesting to see what happens with his family once steve is at home.

Tales of the unexpected......

onlyjoking9329 · 06/04/2008 21:28

i don't know what the tune is but it sounds like music from a horror film

OP posts:
VaginaShmergina · 06/04/2008 21:34

Eerie and creepy, used to lay in bed listening to the music when Mum and Dad watched it and it scared the crap out of me, nothing particulary spooky about it, but played on your mind.

It was a series of scare the crap out of you short horrors.

Hope Tescos had your Rum ?
