Morning EHM.
I have loaded and turned on the DW and that is about all so far!

House is descending into chaos with kids home!

Will crack on with it now.

Morning all
Sorry to be absent yesterday. The good news is that I am on the mend. Had a horrid weekend, very very ill indeed, hardly made it out of bed really. The anti viral drugs really kicked in by Sunday night. I was covered in chicken pox spots, more spots than skin, but all the ones which had come after I started the anti virals (thursday night) started to fade away and shrink, whilst the ones I got before the drugs are still there in full flow - luckily these were the minority! So I am left with quite a few scabbed over in my head and on my face, and about a couple of dozen still to scab on my body - the rest are fading away. Brilliant! Thank goodness I got the drugs - thank you again EV without your advice I wouldn't have done it.

So I am left feeling very tired, weak and wobbly and the drugs have got me a bit confused and doddery but otherwise I'm on the mend.

So - mad sounds like it's good news that you have stabilised although I understand that you want to make quicker progress - keep on resting as much as you can
Tort happy birthday for yesterday

Washing is out on the line. Hope it stays dry and sunny long enough to dry it.

Kitchen floor swept.
Kids have put washing away. (well ds2 got DD1 to do it by paying her 20p !)

DS1 has hoovered after a bit of protesting! Told him he needs to do more to help out or he will never get a girlfriend.

Hi all
Back from drs (blood tests have been ill on and off for two months now) I forgot to warn ds not to look and the poor boy went very pale .. "mum whats that black stuff coming out of your arm !!"

Went to Costa's for breakfast (bloody expensive bacon sandwich!) as I had'nt been allowed breakfast before hand.

Back home, asked them what they wanted to do today.... ds wants to sort out his bedroom.... (faint)

Will catch up later.

Tortoise · 07/04/2009 12:37

EV Have you been very good?

We need to go to the shop after lunch. Then might go on a doggy walk.

Also need to sort DS1's Bday cake once kids are in bed! Plus wrap pressies, put up balloons and banners.

Tortoise · 07/04/2009 12:40

Meant to add Please send good wishes to Shouldbe. Her DS broke his arm yesterday. Might need surgery. Poor boy.

TheMadHouse · 07/04/2009 12:47

galen You have made me cry - I am so blessed to have friends like you. The boys love their books and what can I say, but you have gone above and beyond - thank you for being here for me.

That goes for all the rest of you Fly girls too - Thank you in spades

EV what have you been up to?

Sausage casarole is in the slow cooker
Washer is on

That is all I am doing on the home front really.

DS2 is napping then it will be craft time in TheMadHouse

grouchyoscar · 07/04/2009 16:18

Hello Ladies, whatch out, Grouchy's about!

Thanks to Wolf TMH and EHM and anyone else who asked about Ed's OT progress. He's doing OK, the lovely OT feels he's at the mild end of the scale and wants to do a series of gym assesments with him. It seems his brain runs too fast for his body to keep up with so there will be a programme of 'exercises' for him to do. At least he's getting the intervention he needs early on and I'm getting some guidance too

TMH we'll be in Whitby the week of 15/8. Fancy a meet up?

EHM yesterday I was just very tired and a bit sulky. I've picked up though and feeling better about things now. Thanks for your concern

A belated Happy Birthday to Tort hope you had a good un
