    Love that GF..... Where on your leg would you have it??

    Been to see my friend and her son for his birthday.... I ate 6 slices of pizza nom nom nom.... Feel tired and sick now though.

    I've fell off the wagon big time. Need to seriously rein it in. I might just start July knowing I must tone up and lose a few pounds!

    Took Joseph to meet some of hubby's colleagues today. Not everyone was in but I was in town and his work is nearby so I thought I might as well. Joseph slept from part way through the walk into town until after I left hubby's office, then decided to shout for food. I wasn't complaining, I'd had my lunch in peace then had an excuse to get another coffee.He's been colicky tonight though, it's getting better but he still has the odd long bout of crying as well as shorter episodes. He's finally settled and is snuggled up on my lap, I don't want to move him now as it took so long to get him settled. Tomorrow I have my postnatal check with the GP, then in a couple of weeks Joseph has a medical and his first jabs (not looking forward to that).

    Susan your one brace lady bathing a rabbit! Mine would never have let me!!!

    Spiders are a BIG no go in my house, my neighbour genuinely thought I was getting murdered last time I saw one. Totally irrational fear!

    Things are still on a massive downward spiral. Oh's mum was found collapsed at home this morning unconscious she was rushed to Durham hospital in an ambo with sirens and everything on at 8am this morning they didn't scans and tests and she's got a massive blood clot in her brain which is completely blocking the artery starving her brain of oxygen so she was rushed to Newcastle Rvi for emergency surgery else they said she would die basically! The surgery didn't remove the clot so they're now pumping blood thinners into her to try and reduce size of the clot but they've said the next 12-24 hours is critical.

    Her parents have travelled up from Blackpool to be with her and all her mum keeps saying is why can't I swap places with her I've lived my life I just want her to live hers. Life can be so cruel at times, I hope things are more positive tomorrow for her :( she's in hdu on regular obs but there's not a lot anyone can do bar pray that the drugs clear it :(

    Haha! Becci! I had to throw a towel over her and grab her really quickly. She loves fuss and will sit forever if she's being stroked, she even gives my daughters kisses and allows them to put her on a lead and walks around the garden with them. But she doesn't like being picked up! Had to be done though. Luckily she seems to be a bit better today.

    I hope everything works out for the best with your MIL. How is your OH? sending you hugs xx

    I used to love having rabbits as a kid .. Always remember my first, flopsy with big droopy ears she was so lovely! Now I have a big crazy oafe of a dog that has heaps of energy and knocks me off my feet lol

    I hope tomorrow we can look back on today and laugh at ourselves for worrying because it's all nothing but I saw their faces straight after the consultant had been to speak to them and it wasn't good. They had all been quite strong til that point and they were all in tears.
    Oh is probably taking it the worst at the moment but isn't talking about what he's feeling he just sits in silence with his head in his hands, I feel totally helpless I can't do anything to make anything better for anyone

    there is nothing that you can do to OH apart from be there- if he is silent let him- don't push him- when he's ready he will blurt it all out- it's so hard watching someone you love like that and being so helpless and I just hope the rest don't works snd she is able to pull through- xxx

    Today is the big voting day, after hearing the debate on Tuesday I am still a little undecided- I won't know until I get there I don't think- working for Our NHS and setting the amazing work that goes on everyday day wants us to keep it but you just can't trust either side of what they will actually do. Maybe going out is the brave better option? I just ton know! Lol

    I originally wanted to vote out after reading something about the NHS collapsing, then I had my Royal college of midwives magazine through and they had a good article in there about it and staying in would be better for me, then a locum doc who'd been working in Scotland came to us for a bit and said vote in, if we go out we'd lose Scotland to the eu as Friday morning they'd request a second referendum and get it. I also spoke with one of midwives that knows so much it's untrue. Could read every guideline off by heart. She advised to stay in but does not think we will do. I trust her judgement. She also said more older people want out whereas the younger ones want in. Personally I think the older ones want out as they think it will stop immigration. It won't. They will still come here.

    So sorry to hear your news Becci - got everything crossed for you all and hope that today things look better for her.

    Been and voted this morning, so that's done now.

    Had a great sleep and feel refreshed today. Got a long weekend as I am taking Monday off work. We need a plumber to come and fix our broken stopcock so booking that for Monday morning then going to my photographers house on Monday afternoon to pick up our wedding pictures (eek) and fuss her doggies, a pug and a spaniel...

    Then Tuesday night we're heading down to London as we have tickets for Wimbledon on Wednesday which I am looking forward to so a nice 2 nights in London to look forward to next week.

    Have a good day everyone x

    Morning all,

    Becci, sending hugs love and prayers xxxx

    The 3pm meeting wasn't a good one. They need to cut someone in our department and CEO wants it to be me. Boss has negotiated for me to move into a split role with another department. Waiting for confirmation that he will accept it but chances are he will do. Will be accepting the first job I am offered now. Had a few glasses of wine last night and a lot of tears. Don't know what they will do as they have taken a lot of my colleagues work off him and given it to me as he couldn't do it..
    Feeling so unmotivated
