Morning everyone The sun is shining here and I am literally full of the joys of spring

V.short list to start with as we got up very late and I am taking DS out for a walk before I do anything else. Cabin fever, moi?

JKS - hope you get your point across. If you don't know about it you can't do anything. DS1 is bound to have been affected to some degree by everything that has gone on with DS2 in the last year - they should be being especially co-operative in view of that.

DONE
Up
Breakfast
Activate new bank card which has been languishing in my purse for a month [ blush]
Re-book Ocado order for next week after they cancelled it due to non-payment (see above point re. bank card)

TO DO
Drink coffee
Get dressed
Get DS dressed
Make a shopping list for hot cross bun making
Take DS out for a walk to the swings and then home via Sainsbury's

Happy anniversary plum!

JKS hope meeting goes ok

The gp was quite concerned yesterday when I told him how ds had been lying down all day but told me to gve him a big dose of calpol and see if he kept it down and perked up a bit and if not to call back an hour later and he would admit him into hospital. DS fell asleep after the calpol and ate a little bit of pasta when he woke up so I decided to wait and see how he was this morning. Then dd was puking all night! But dd actually seems fine today and ds is better than he was and has started to drink a little bit again so fingers crossed...

Am knackered!

Have cleaned the bathroom though
