Morning everyone

wendy hope you manage to rest up a bit today xx

dyls thanks for the thread

Morning to FDS and mad (fudge sounds good Mad I'd like a peep at the recipe too if you are posting it up )

Well I'm feeling a lot better today. I am still a bit sore and my ribs and shoulders still ache a bit, but other than that I'm good

I'm off to attempt a bath....I've not had one yet! I am a bit worried about what to do with my dressings! I have stitches under them I think. I swear they should wait until you don't feel so groggy before they explain these things!

LOL I was half asleep and the nurse kept calling me "Karen" (my RL name isn't Karen BTW) so I just ignored her because I thought she was talking to someone else!

Anyhoo, back in a bit

awww charlie Hope you have a lovely night watching the concert My DD1 has hers on Friday. She is a Pink Lady from Grease!! Not very xmassy, but she is very pleased anyway! DS hasn't been able to go to school all week so he isn't in the school play (not that he minds!) We'll all just go and watch DD1 instead

Well I feel a bit more human now I've bathed! I have a very small and neat little cut, you can hardly see it. The surgeon did a brilliant job and it has healed up really well, still have the stitches there but they aren't really needed by the looks of things.

Tort I hope you feel better today...I can totally sympathise with you I hope they can sort you another appointment very soon. Have they given any indication?

Quick rant alert...How Dare DH get ratty and narky in the morning about Ed messing about when I am the one who gets up, makes breakfast, does the morning routines etc etc while he gets up 45 mins later and fiddles with his phone or plays sudoku I am getting so sick of it I'm going to ask him to keep out of our way if it upsets him so much.

Had a friend round for coffee and chat this morning and I've made a b atch of crazy choc choc chip cookies. Done tomorrow's lunches too

Going to do reading friends now so Cheery bye ]fgrin]

Afternoon all

I am back from soft play - boys have run off some of their energy, but no doubt will have loads more later

The fudge is kind of a waitrose receipe, but I use vanilla essence for one lot and coco powder for the second lot and swirl basic receipe

Afternoon all

Bianca Our postman always opens our door to deliver letters and parcels! But we havent a letterbox. If we're going out we leave the window open a fraction and he throws them through there on to the kitchen floor !

Just got back from seeing the DR about DC's.
DD has got to be reviewed again in Feb because she's not sitting up . Also they think her ankles are different .
Im not too worried as she also asked me if my DC's ate lots of carrots...because of the colour of their skin (olive!). .

Then I went to pick up a repeat prescription and nearly fell over when the receptionist told me I had to pay 10 euro for it ( not the drugs just the paper!) Then had to go to pharmacy and spend a fortune on antidepressants.....the price was enough to make anyone depressed I can tell you!
Ive been looking into buying them online from canada/usa for a fraction of the price...does anyone know anything about this ? I might start a thread asking.

Right better get on with tidying etc.

EHM hope you're OK after the shock of the fall. I fell with ds in my arms when he was a baby and had to send dd round to get a neighbour to help me up again - poor ds was screaming (but fine - I saved him but really hurt myself) and I was v shaken and bruised.
Good luck with the viewing - isn't it typical that it happens as soon as you've started a clear-out?!
