Inzi-So sorry again about Murphy-and your dad. Is he having treatment? You are having such a run of bad luck, hopefully you'll have exhausted the bad luck fairy from now on! Keep coming and talking to us, as has already been said, even though we're not posting, we are thinking about you.
Dal-OMG! You're so brave and crazy You may as well get having all the babies out of the way I suppose my broody feeling has passed thankfully lol Happy anniversary too
BB4-So sorry about the skype, how rubbish are we!?! Definately try and do it next time.
WWAJC-I'm happy for the pics to go on FB. Wobdered who'd sent the dull weather lol. My grass could do with a nice downpour anyway.
FT-Poor Alex! I hope it heals asap, he must have fallen really arkwardly. Maybe a few days of tv/dvds could help it heal quickly?
I would like to say once again, thank you so much for your(s and dh's) hospitality last weekend. I've never felt so looked after, was so nice The girls had great fun, dd1 said she loved playing with all the los, especially WWAJC's dd
Issues over him moving in are all on my side, feeling a bit possesive of my space I suppose and asked him to help me do the bathroom the other week(tiling, grouting etc) or water the grass while I did the bathroom and he basically couldn't be bothered and said 'ah well I don't live here do I?' and then proceeded to park his bum on MY couch and watch football on MY TV in MY house. So, as you can probably imagine I wasn't very impressed and felt like he has to prove himself a little before I am prepared to share my place with him. I also want to do it gradually for DD1, as I think she could easily turn it into a problem if I don't handle it carefully. Oh and their is the fact that he will be having to pay for everything and I will have no income which is why I'd really like a job before we do it, hate that I may lose my independence!
Muppet-Was so lovely to meet you and your boys, they're all lovely. Toby is fab and at least he didn't cry at me like most babies, Henry and Olly are gorg too, although didn't see much of them.
It's 14th Aug we will be down at Swindon if you'll be about, we're also going to Bristol, South Hampton, Stonehenge area, West London, Milton Keynes and a couple of places in betyween that I cant remember if anyone fancy having lunch or whatever
Choc/Inzi/Dal-I'm going to be in Edinburgh 5th-8th Aug, meant to be rafting on the Fri but free on the 7th(Sat) if that will be convenient for a meet up?
Will probably have Richies DBs gf with me but she is lovely. Rich and his brother are doing something elso at the adventure place, river walking or something but it's over an hour away from where we're staying so I'd prefer to shop and explore and meet with lovely ladies!
News from here-Was stuck in traffic jam on way home from the BBQ last Sun for over 3 hours, people where getting out cars, chatting and sunbathing. The motorway was closed both ways, never found out exactly why but rumours that someone was threatening to jump of a bridge where circulating. Anyway, got home eventually and kids where quite good so not too bad.
Also, as most of you probably have seen, we where involved in an accident last Mon. A taxi went into the back of me and then I crashed into the car in front. None of us where injured too badly, although I ended up in a collar and on a board to the hospital as I'd said no at first as I didn't want to upset the kids(-they where already screaming and distraught until a kind shop lady gave them some lemonade(Shannon very quickly was fine!)) but then the bottom of my legs went pins and needly and gave way under me. It was very scary and I couldn't contact anyone as I didn't have my mob with me so the kids where messing about in the hospital and I couldn't move for a few hours until they properly checked me over. DD! was meant to be getting checked as she was complaining of neck pain, but they didn't end up checking her as they said she had to go to the childrens department and obviously I couldn't take her as I was strapped to a bed. The nurse rung my sil to contact Rich-he arrived just as the doc was going to check me, so dissapeared with the girls. By the time I found them, he had given them so pizza and they where strapped in his car so we just drove home, it was getting quite late by then and dd1 said she felt fine.
I did get a phone call from the school nurse asking why I didn't get her checked, felt very guilty and didn't really have an answer apart from I was quite dazed and the nurses didn't seem concerned about DD1 at all.
Anyway-Car is a write off, finally got a hire car on Sat(but too nervous to drive it too far) and my back and neck (and now my legs!) are getting progressively worse so going to have to go back to GP, tonight hopefully as the surgery offer a sit and wait. Wasn't too bad the few days after but now I'm struggling to even bend down or come down stairs. Hoping it passes very very soon. Rich took the Tues off to help which was lucky as there was an explosion at his work and one man died. I keep flipping from feeling sorry for myself being so achy and losing my car to frustrated to telling myself off as I should count myself bloody lucky that the accident wasn't worse and that Rich was not at work on that day.
