    Morning ladies. Hope you're all well.
    Started having my hair sorted ready for the wedding yesterday. It's had so many colours in it that we're trying to get them all out and start again! Got 3 months to do it in so should be fine!
    I've had a headache since yesterday afternoon and it made me feel nauseous last night. Still there slightly this morning but I'm hoping it goes soon as it's date night tonight as we've been together 5 years today. Seems like so much longer though.

    GF its so worrying when they go missing. If it was her other one I wouldn't worry but this one is such a timid cat. Plus they are 13 and in quite poor health. They had cat flu as kittens so they are very sensitive little things. I was petrified I was going to find him under a bush in someone's garden!

    Best of luck for tomorrow Flossie!

    Yes, the one who normally stays in the garden is also timid, when she is in the mood for it she will come and say hi and sit on our laps, not often though. Our eldest cat is 14 now but she's the boss, she also thinks she is a kitten still. She will stand up to any cat no matter what their size is, hisses at our other two but boy, if anoth cat comes in th garden and tries to have a go at either of them she will tell that cat what for. Our other one was always quite ferile in the old house as the garden was huge, he would come in, eat and go back out, he likes to spend more time indoors in this house. Had to start sticking each of them out at night though as they have been naughty doing toilets in the house. I came down one morning to find one had peed on the birthday cake box, soaked down the side and up into the cake, three small slices had been taken out of it as well. That was the final straw!

    Back from body pump, tidied around, showered and now ready to sit in the sunshine,

    The MIL has ben taken to hospital in the early hours, she's got sepsis in the blood, hubby said its a serius condition, I said yes I know, I do deal with that at work as well but no doubt they've already got her started on IV antibs and they'll be a hefty dose. Swear he thinks my job is all fluffy and nice. He's going up to see her this afternoon, I cannot as got someone round at the same time to see my son who had best be home as he went out with friends. I can pop in and see her tomorrow after I finish work as she should still be in for a few days at least.

    Wow Flossie. Were still mid / high twenties here so a bit cooler but not much. We're meant to get rain tonight which will hopefully dampen it!
    I don't mind the heat. Other than making my head bad I much prefer it to being cold!!

    It's been cooler in Cardiff but still humid. We really need a big rainstorm. I thought we were due rain today but evidently not. I've discovered that having a wide awake and hungry baby when you're full of cold is not fun. He's largely been in a good mood but has been demanding, if not food then attention. The good thing was when I went for coffee this afternoon, just on my own, I bumped into my friend, his godmother, who was delighted to see him and couldn't wait for a cuddle and play, which meant I got to drink my coffee and eat my cake in peace.

    Morning all

    Hubby went to see his mum yesterday afternoon, he said she actually looks better than she did when he saw her last. The Drs at the hospital have looked at the medication she is takin and said she's on way too much and should not be taking it. She's taking tablets for angina as well but stopped those, since then all her oedema in her legs has gone down. She raves about her GP and slates all the Drs at the hospital as they all reckon that's what killed her sister. I'm off to see her after I finish work this afternoon, hubby cannot really take anymore time off work.

    Morning all..... Well it looks a lovely day already today!

    Need to drop my car off at the garage again, go into town and drop my ER off for cleaning, get my step dad a birthday card as its his birthday today, OH needs to go to his mates in Retford then he's at work tonight on the railway

    As great as it is, it couldn't have come on the worse week but OH starts a new job on Monday..... He's been hanging on for this opportunity to go on the gas plant in Barrow in Furness and they rang him on Friday asking him to start Monday so he is.....
    It just means that he won't be coming home until the Friday afternoon rather than finishing work on the Thursday.

    It's good money though so we could do with it!

    At least I get the house to myself again next week so I can blitz it clean before the wedding ha ha ha xxx

    Morning all

    Mrs mw, looks great.

    Yesterday at work started off being a nightmare, walked in and there were three women labouring and one who had just delivered, bearing in mind we only have four midwives working per shift, fortunately we had a senior student there so she took the one who had delivered and left one on the ward. Then all three progressed at the same time and we have a new thing where we need two midwives in on all deliveries, so we had the issue of maybe not being able to do this, however each lady staggered It for us. I won the race though and my couple thought I was amazing bless them.

    Off to spin today with hubby, I like that he comes with me to this so we are doing something like that together. He would not enjoy the other classes I do though.

    Right, I really need to get my @ss in gear!!

    The kitchen looks like an explosion of laundry, the living room is full of boxes that need sorting.....

    I need to move!

    I had a shower and hair wash before OH got home from his night shift so I need to crack on!

    Got final fittings for the suits at 2pm, going for a quick drink with my dad straight after as he wants to run through some bits, then drop LO off at his dad's overnight so OH and I will have our last night together before the wedding!! OMG that sounds scary.......

    He's not coming home until the Friday now and he's in a hotel on the Friday night so tonight is our last night as an unmarried couple to be together!!
