Much worse again today, Max had to take the day off and i spent the day in bed. Eventually, i had to go back into the hospital where they attempted to lance my throat but couldn’t locate it (abscess, not throat). By which point i was just beside myself and so the lovely RAF Dr […]

… because i left them out in the rain. Ooops. My mum was here all day today and it really made me realize how much we all miss out on not having the “conventional granny” round the corner. Not that i begrudge her her career but i wish we saw more of her. We get […]

You really don’t want to know 🙁 but i think i’m over the worst, at least the painkillers sort of kill the pain now. Still look like i’ve got mumps though. Some doctors have such rubbish bedside manner. I went to the drop-in emergency place last night and this bloke looked in my throat, didn’t […]

What does someone surgery phobic, needle phobic, dentist phobic and hospital phobic not need on a sunday? Oh yes, a GA to drain a throat abcess. See you when i see you. Jax, need you urgently.

Ammi managed to leave the house in knickers yesterday and come home in the same pair still dry. This is progress. She is perpetually knackered at the moment and i really feel sorry for her because she is a 3 (Edit: ooops) year old stuck in a body that can’t keep up with her (or […]

Anyway, today was loosely based on “the colour spectrum”. Making hama […]

“Um…. well, sums is maths… maths is short for mathematical, so it means sums, like Fran is short for Frances…” “Oh, so its sums with a ‘mathical’ added on the end?” I love my Fran 😀 Well, today was okay. Started off with shocked daughters on waking and discovering that Max and i had removed […]

Girls were great about me being poorly today and largely entertained themselves. I was about but not really functioning early on although lots of scratchy toast and hot chocolate helped a lot – mid morning the throat started to subside a bit – i’m actually wondering if my ear drum has burst though as its […]
