Yeah, Up is so upsetting, can't believe it's for kids.
Well, congratulations to mopsy and chip, that's amazing news 
Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, and that you don't suffer too badly with the migranes mopsy. I think you're very brave going ahead with it all given what you're likely to suffer- we'll all be there for support.
And you drink that Martini, get home from Nordic lands and get shagging Oi!
seven, my Mum's been on steroids for about ten years now for the arthritis, and you do indeed have to take stuff to protect your stomach. However, as long as the dose isn't too high, the steroids aren't that bad, and they work amazingly. Doc's right about the steroid carb munchies though, they can be vicious! Main side effects for my Mum are just the skin-thining, so he may need moisturiser and to take care in the sun.
Are you having fun in Scotland figster? Hope the projectile vom from DS was a one off and not a bug?
We're up North for Mothering Sunday and it's DP's Dad's birthday. Sadly, my Mum's come down with some awful D&V thingy, so we're had to cancel all our plans and I've been nursing her. DP and I did get our night out last night though as his sis babysat- we were planning a night out with friends in the next town, but given Mum being ill we stayed local and just had a meal out... and then I had a text from my oldest friend (one who lives up here, we've been friends since we were 11) to say her Dad had had a heart attack and died that day 
So it's all gone a bit awry up here sadly, but at least it's a break from work...erm.... 
Fingers crossed Sunday goes well!
