Oh my word, I have one busy day and an evening out and the topic goes mad Its taken me ages to read everything
Dal - Hope your FiL is back home again soon, and its good that they took him back in for tests due to his recent illness, you can't be too careful. Also I think its Fab that Alice is there for you too, helping out with news etc, it must be a great comfort.
WWAJC - The house looks lovely, you and Anya should have a fab time there with none of the stress from your DH, I think you are definitely doing the right thing in getting out. Life is far too short to be unhappy.
Muppet - well done in getting back to the running, I need to get myself back in the habit of exercise. I did so well before xmas losing my weight for the black tie do I went to, sadly I ruined all the hard work immediately afterwards and have put half a stone back on so this week I have been good again, and already feel better for it.
I bought the book by Anna Richardson who has that TV show and the recipes in it are fab. I am Day 5 in of no alcohol, no carbs after 6pm, nothing sweet etc but the recipes are all really simple and very tasty, even DH has eaten his dinner the past few nights and said how tasty they have been. Its this book and I really recommend it.
FT - Operation no boobies hope it continues to go well for you, it sounds like its getting better.
Inzi - I hope this morning sickness passes soon for you
NC - My DH suffers from an ulcer periodically, especially when he is stressed and drinking too much, and he had Omeprazole (sp?) that Alicet mentioned from the doctor and it works wonders for him. Hope you get less stressed soon, and I just want to say again, that I really admire you for studying again with two children, I just couldn't do it. So just keep telling yourself that you are doing a fab job under difficult circumstances and you should be proud of yourself
Strawberry - regards Call of Duty! I know what you mean, my DH is on it all the time too, but I can't really complain as I am addicted to Scrabble on FB
My brain has now dribbled out of my ears i can't remember what else I should comment on, I hope I haven't missed out on anything too serious, but thinking of you all, all the same
One brief funny thing that happened this morning, at about 6.30, Ben silently came into the bedroom and stood in the doorway, I groggily told him to go and play in his room for a bit till I woke up properly, he stood there a minute more, did a huge fart, and then very clearly said 'pardon me' and then walked out what a fab way to be woken up still chuckling now.
Hope you all have a fab day
