Well, my Uni year is apparently in full swing but I have missed about half of it.  My usually healthy wee man has had a bad time of it so there's been a lot of time home from centre this year.  Two weeks consecutively he managed to get vomiting bugs, then had one week of good health, and now he is in his second week of chickenpox ( Read more... )

I had a bit of a panic today when I realised that my car's Warrant of Fitness and Registration was due in a few days! Eep! So I actually took a step towards doing something about the terrible state of my car! I took it down to the tyre shop, got the puncture fixed in the usual tyre and swapped it back from the spare that was on, because I was ( Read more... )

Today is my grandma's 91st birthday. I think it's pretty amazing to get to that age. She has alzeihmer's so visiting her can be a difficult time. She didn't seem with it at all today. Unfortunately, I couldn't go near her because of my cold. I went to drop off a present with the nurses but they said as long as I washed her hands and stayed ( Read more... )

I spent the day in bed today, and was grateful that I could - being that it's holidays. Every year around this time I get a nasty horrible cold to usher in my hayfever. Thankfully Devon was good, it helped that he got to get far more screen time than I usually allow him and he made the most of it. He watched DVDs and played Blue Dragon for most ( Read more... )

Well, today I cleverly messed up the creation of a facebook group, by pressing the back button too many times and facebook telling me I'd locked into a setting where half the people I'd invited to the group wouldn't be allowed to join. I didn't panic, just set up a second group and sent out a second apologetic invite, to discover that facebook had ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my first day of freedom, and it was weird, I just didn't know what to do with myself! It was the day I had been waiting for, and suddenly with all this time on my hands it was uncomfortable. I think you get accustomed to stress, and so used to living with it that when it's gone you suddenly feel at a loose end ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I've been so quiet. I have just finished exams, hanging in at uni only by using all the strength and willpower I have. This semester was a real wake-up call. I shouldn't have even been at uni, I should have stopped and got some rest, because I knew after my last holiday that I hadn't recovered ( Read more... )

These are so cute!! I've never heard of them before: tiny houses.

I don't think I could ever handle living in one though. :p After my last flat!

Hopefully this will be the last post in a while about my thumb, as since upping the medication I've had a drastic improvement! I'm now mostly pain free, unless I actually push it a bit by playing XBox or something, or putting weight for a length of time on my bad arm. Actually it's twinging now... it does twinge but it's definitely a massive ( Read more... )
