Hello back

Dad wasn't at funeral so that bit was fine, but I've never been to a cremation before, not too keen, was very strange

On a lighter note I finished The Time Travellers Wife very good and thats all I will say don't ant to spoil it for anyone

I thought I seen one of the slatterns add CC to their FB, maybe Alice, I seen her e-mail address on a thread a while back

JKS I mean't to say maybe you should keep some out that are a bit of a challenge to him,

Plum - glad the funeral was ok (ish).
don't worry we still have loads out! plus anything ds1 (3) likes is still out so ds2 can always play with those things if he suddenly gets the idea. just put some stuff in boxes in the spare room so can get to it easily if he seems interested.

I am so tired today, not bothering with anything thank god for frozen pizza,
I can't even be bothered to drive for take out!

Read about Trinityrhino's dh, soo awful, can't imagine how you begin to cope with something like that!

Plum - I know so shocking about TR's Dh can't imagine how bl**dy awful that is.

Left from yesterday:

• all ironing
• put away all clean clothes started

Sun:

• me up first DONE
• all usual
• read papers & do crosswords
• find ongoing list & try and do something on it
• more gardening (did some yesterday, but loads needs doing)
• takeaway dinner tonight, yum!
• list for taking to GOSH Started

Any tips on stuff to take to hosp with a 1yr old appreciated!

JKS what about a magna doodle board I know my 3 all loved them from that age up, and no mess, make sure you pack some healthy snacks for you, how long are you going to be there for

think I might bring dcs to cinema this morning last treat before back to school
dh has to work today so might as well bring them to kids club this morning,
Aliens in the Attic!

Plum - enjoy the cinema!

we have something like that we could take but tbh he's not really up to drawing/scribbling. he takes very little interest in most toys

we think we will be there all day Tues, then all day Wed overnight and most of Thurs.
It could be extended but hopefully won't be as DS2 has so many 'episodes' during a normal day they should get lots of info in 24hrs.

Not really got on with anything yet today!

Hi everyone

I have just read about TRs DH, how shocking and awful, I don't actually know her but I had a lump in my throat, It has made me realise we should cherish every moment because we don't know whats around the corner, I cannot imagine the pain her and her family must be feeling, although I know I would be lost without my DH. It kind of makes listing seem unimportant.

JKS thanks for the tip about the remote, DH managed to fix it. Before he came home I broke of the volume controls on the TV and used a pen to turn the volume down, we just couldn't get through the whole day without TV What about packing board books that you can lift the flap with IYSWIM and plenty of patience for yourself, entertaining a 1 year old is hard enough at the best of times.

Where is everbody anyway? It's very quiet on here and no sign of CC yet, I hope she is Ok.

I'm off to visit my Grandad in a bit, my nan has said he is feeling alot better but he isn't allowed home yet.

JKS I still can't believe this is happening to your wee ds I can still remember your first post about him, poor wee thing, what about bringing a cd player and some nursery rhyme cds,
I remember going to Lanzarote when ds was that age and
I had to sing The runaway train came down the track and she blew nearly the whole way there
The people on the plane might have preferred him to wail the whole way there

Went to the cinema, film was quite amusing and dd2 actually sat quite still the whole way through, this was the film I didn't think she would like!

Plum & Peppa - thanks

And i can't quite believe it yet, when i stop to think we are actually preparing for brain surgery on my baby!!! long for the day when we can start to focus on his recovery though.
