Good morning! Where has the time gone - it seems ages I've been here. Still very busy working. Because our department is usually fully staffed, one of us will get taken off to work elsewhere when a ward/department is really short. So I've been doing a lot on A&E (I don't mind A&E - it's when I am sent where I really don't know that I don't like it). So I was on A&E and had to admit a friend who was having a bleed on the brain. He went up to London later and hopefully will be ok. 

Had this week off and have been very busy seeing people. I have also been trying to sort out my paperwork - what a nightmare!

Hope everyone is ok here! :-)

Morning all. Really just popping in to welcome skyflower. I'm an 'oldie' here, but not been around much lately. Hope to catch up soon though.

Thinking of you lots Louise, can only imagine how you're feeling about eldest and TA's. I remember my nephew joining up and my sister was worried sick. Lots of hugs for you, and congrats to your youngest on his new job. xx

Sparkling, thinking of you yesterday x

Pq, will catch up with your posts, but hope you're keeping well and the girls.

Feels like everyone is moving on with their lives, and I'm still in the same place as I was years ago!! Don't think it will ever change.

to everyone else in chat room, hope you're all keeping well.

Thank you for your welcome Hazeleyes; it is good to make friends here as most of us are in circumstances that friends cannot connect with....how are you, I don't know you yet but sometimes we can move on fast and other times circumstances keep us in a place where eventually we grow out of but it takes longer. 

Sally, the sleepover is not over yet and the house looks like a bomb fell on it ! They slept 2 whole hours, no surprise !

Kiera, so great to have their Christmas present soon as your son obviously can't do much with that shoulder and must be in pain. A worry when it keeps happening too ! After it is healed, can't they give some physiotherapy to make the muscles around it stronger so it won't pop out again ?

Hope everyone has a great weekend. We will all be waiting for your story Louise !

Good morning lovely people

Great to see it busier in here, Hazeleyes it's always fab to hear from you, I don't think your life is static, especially the changes that will happen in September, eek, scary when they do things, I feel that about the TA too and hope so much he never signs up properly, it has brought home two things to me a. they make their own decisions and b. now he is grown-up he consults his girlfriend, sometimes before me, that's quite a big change that will happen more over time.

Sparkling did you light your candle?

Skyflower, yes it is on the website so people can see, maybe you could keep it fairly short and factual so there are no identifying details? Hope you are not too tired today after the sleepover, or should I say "insomnia-over"

Hopeful, how is your friend? You do sound very busy at work

Kiera fingers crossed that your son will have a quiet weekend. How does HE feel about the situation, does it scare him, is he resigned to it?

PQ yes it is the weekend and pancake time. Glad H is getting better, will you be able to do some things if she is improving?

Sally what a spoilsport not telling us all about the prezzies, haha. Hope you get everything done that's on your list

My Autumn evening was fab, the lady was an excellent hostess and kept control of everything so there was no raucousness. Mind you, I arrived and she had cooked a three course meal!!!! it was only 2 hours since I had my tea, I had had a small one expecting there may be nibbles at the party but I ate a starter and (thankfully light) main course and said I was too full for pudding, which was true. We played some games as well...she was threatening Twister but we got away with less strenuous things, and I won the game of "guess what autumn object I am?" (I was an acorn!!)

Well done Mrs Acorn! Glad you enjoyed your evening. Perhaps your son spke to girlfriend before you, as he knew how upsetting it would, even though you probably didn't show how truely upset you were. It would break my heart if C signed up. I do hope you have lots of friends supporting you xx

I've just met up with a friend for a luxury hot chocolate while her son was in an art course...  Rather nice, and a change of scenery.

It's a dreary day, weatherwise, which seems to suit my mood!

LUXURY! that's a nice treat for you, sparkling.

Hazeleyes, I was talking yesterday with a lady whose son is at Uni on an army scholarship and who is about to go to Sandhurst and we were able to share our feelings, which helped. I think my son was a bit wary about telling me, his girlfriend actually told him he could not put it off any longer. I put a brave face on it when he told me. My overall feeling is that he will finish up not going in the end (*buries head in sand*)

What are you all up to this evening? I have stopped being an acorn and am now a potato (of the couch variety Laughing)

Is C watching X Factor this year, Hazeleyes?

Youngest and I cleared the shoe cupboard out this afternoon.  So many shoes they've grown out of.  Few fit for the charity shop, rest have filled the dustbin.  Cupboard does look good.

Watched Wales beat Argentina in rugby and then went into work at 6pm for a few hours.  Trying to keep busy and hopefully tired enough to go to sleep.  

I can now have a lie in tomorrow if I want to...

Hello sparkling, hope you got a good sleep. The cupboard sounds a real achievement. Our coat rack is always the awful thing here and I make a fuss about it then realise that most of the stuff is mine Embarassed It's tidy at the moment, however, so I need to follow your example with the shoes

Morning everyone, how are you? What plans for today?

Morning all. louise, we're not that fussed about X Factor anymore, so can take it or leave it really. C helped me design a new kitchen yesterday. Finally had the letter to say they will be coming round in two weeks. That day I shall have to do colour scheme and design! Anyhow, I got so carried away with how many cupboards etc that I completely forgot worktops. My design has no room for them, so back to the drawing board for us!!!

no plans here Louise. How about you? Are you going to church? Hopefully you'll have a chilled and relaxing day.

Planning the kitchen sounds like fun!

I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to the gym.  Working tax credit computer decided that there had been a change in my circumstances, so didn't receive them this week...  Nice chap on the phone when I phoned at the beginning of the week, but still not in the bank.  Every penny counts until that's sorted.

Anyhow, I've pulled my achilles tendon, so thinking resting it might be better.  Not an excuse, as I do enjoy going now.  I'll probably do more tidying, actually.  I seem to be in the mood to do some.

I hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Sorry about your leg, sparkling and sorry about your son, kiera, hope your chicken dinner went well though. Did you get any tidying done, sparkling?

Went to church but that's all I have done as feel a bit tired and achey so telly and sofa seemed like the best bet. That's my excuse anyway Tongue Out

So sorry to hear that Kiera, it seems they can't get it right for him I do so hope they can balance his meds out, what is it doing to him having his shoulder all the time out like that? How is he coping with it, are they giving him some pain killers?

I hope you get better soon with your tendon sparklinglime and Louise sometimes we just need a break and chill out 

Have a good evening all

Kiera, such a worry about your son, poor thing. 

Skyflower what sort of a day have you had?

Pq, Hopeful, Anna, Sally and anyone I've missed, hope you've all had a good weeken.

We've had a lovely day here. After ironing, played games on playstation and on the laptop. I've (at last) gradually learnt not to stress too much over the housework. As long as its tidy, homework is done, then I keep my side of the bargain with the games. 

Have a good week everyone.

Morning all,

Had a good weekend, Dinner at a friends on saturday night for her birthday. Another friend came over on sunday and we all went to the cinema to see Gravity.

Great to hear about your kitchen hazeleyes, its very exciting.

Sparkling I remember pulling my Achilles tendon, it was sooo painful, resting was the only way to cure it, and loads of anti-inflamitarys.

Sorry your son has been in hospital again Keira, it must be a great worry for you.

Hope you're feeling better today louise, a day on the sofa sounded just what was needed. Did you watch strictly over the weekend? I thought it was amazing! Suzzanna'a Paso made me cry Cry.

The arctic blast is coming overnight, I hope you've all got your winter coats, hats and gloves ready.
