Oh Freakoid, I feel for you. Love the birthday photos, but trying to figure out which one you are!! Looks like your DD had a fab day.
Got to get off this as I have a migraine starting

Thanks JKS, think I just feel sorry for myself.

FO - sounds fun >>> hands over painkillers

Hi all - I woke up and felt overwhelmed by the household etc but decided to go out in the fresh air for a long walk when the kids were in school, and it really really helped. Also bought myself a couple of summer dresses as I am very much a winter girl and need to start getting a bit of sunshine on me!! My bedroom is a bombsite though as I pulled everything out looking for something summery! Need to take it a little at a time now.

1. lunch
2. sort kitchen
3. workman coming

Morning all, afraid to look back through thread as I have not watched LOST yet incase there is any mention

Well girls you will be proud I went to the doctors this morning and he is refering me for physio, although it was dd1 that gave me the push

She has been incredibly grumpy, headache etc and then strange marks on her face,
just dawned on me this morning she might have slapped cheek, so brought her to docs to be on the safe side, she does,
I could barely move my shoulder this morning so she said mum you should see doc too, so he has gave me different anti-infams, faster acting hopefully as I'm in agony.

So have kept dd1 home even though infectious period is over, her face looks bad though,

and light housework for me

TO DO
load dishy
Bring washing in
clean tidy kitchen
lunch & tidy
Iron
put ironing away
sort smalls
roast chicken dinner

Freaky, HOW'S THE HEAD?

CC, hope the migraine passes quickly.

Just13, going out for a walk is a great idea.

Oh and I have overcome another hurdle my dad was at doctors, I didn't feel anything, slightly sad that dd1 didn't recognise him, and that will be the first time he has seen dd2 since the last upset at doctors 3 years ago, she was about 4 months I think,

But the last time I was shaking and felt physically sick this time I just pretended like we didn't see him, only caught sight of him out of the corner of my eye, he was already there so definitely seen us

Right school run time

CC did you hear womans hour talk on migraine. The expert said it was an excitment of the brain triggered hormonally or by other things like light, foods, stress or generally being over stimulated. Unfortnately there seems to be no common answer but finding you trigger helps.

List for this week:
Buy gro bag for tomatoes
water plants so they don't die in heat
prep for london meeting thursday
prep for new training, send info out
do data base
home filing
bathroom
bedrooms
washing
nag DH re wiring so decorating can begin
try to heal hoover and washer
Sulk over summer wardrobe or lack there of
