What a dramatic 48 hours its been on this thread!
Pretty - so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. It must be hard for your DS. In time, he will realise how lucky he has been having all of his grandparents until now.
Blondes - how are you and Mr Blondes? My Dad had to have his nose cauterised twice on Xmas Eve as he kept getting nose bleeds which wouldn't stop. After the second cauterisation, they told him not to bend down or blow his nose for at least a week. Poor DD was most confused why Grandad wouldn't get down and play with her. Also, they said to fill two fingers of some rubber gloves (or two condoms!) with water and keep them in the freezer and put them on either side of his nose if it started again. I wonder how many other people who have gone to support someone in A&E end up being admitted themselves!
Gettin - well done! That's brilliant news. How lucky you are to get a job which fits so perfectly around your DC. Is it the school your DS is at? How is he getting on this term? Will you be able to keep a bit of an eye on him with your new role?
Bebe - how frustrating for you. When will your next appt be?
Laughalot - well done on losing some more lbs.
Quite a few people have commented on my weight loss in the last few days and I sound really ungrateful and surly when I mutter "but I haven't". I am confused as to what is going on. I definitely won't lose this week as I had the girls over last night which involved much chocolate, crips and wine, have been nibbling all evening, out with friends to lunch tomorrow and then DP will be doing a Valentine's dinner on Sunday night (thought it was easier to do it then than when we're both whacked after work on Monday).
Have a good weekend
