Physio

Been to physio twice now. I've got a disc which is irrating me and I am to have acupuncture to see if that will relieve the pain. So going next Monday to get the needles stuck in my back. Fingers crossed that I should be ok for the holiday and have lost 5lbs over 2 weeks so delighted in that way.

Balloon Trip

Grandad Barnes has been on a Balloon ride. Here's some of his pics.

Murray

Apparently we should have been at the hospital with Murray this week. Shame no one thought to tell us as they apparently sent the letter in October and we never received it. So he's been recalled for bloods due to problems with his previous 2 bloods showing up a raised level of something. My head is currently one big jumble as to what is going on with my little boy and the fact that I'm going to put him through the traumatic art of blood taking. I am hoping the GP is better than the nurse in the hospital who has broken his heart twice and hurt his little veins. I feel pulled in so many ways as he looks perfect and is such a fantastic wee boy. He truly is a special wee boy. But why are we going through all this??? What did we do wrong for Murray to end up with so many problems?? It just seems never ending. So please send us big hugs for 16th May at 9.20am.

My Back

I went to the GP again yesterday as my back has been in agony. The new bed hasn't been helping it and it's just been in complete agony. The GP had referred me for Physio so waiting for that to come through. Got more painkillers. My mum has also loaned me a heat pad. STrange my back seems to have got worse after a lot of swimming.

To cheer myself up I've been planning my 30th. Shove a big party up the gumtree. I want to have a spa weekend away with my kids and hubby. Just need to find some friends who will share the spa time with us or get someone to babysit while David comes with me. Have you seen the new lodges at Whinfell Forrest? They have indoor sauna and steam rooms as well as an outdoor hot tun. A snip at £1,445 for the weekend. David plans to get that for me and book me in for 2 sessions at the aqua sana. Really hope we can go. Very excited about it all. We plan to go the 14th December to the 17th December.

Anyway I'm missing out on Swan Lake just now as I can't sit for long and Eilidh is now going with her cousins. I'm off to move about and hen rest.

First Week of the Easter Holiday's

T'was a busy week last week. On Monday we met up with Murray'snursery friends which was a nice relief and start to the week. I hit the doctors about my back which is still sore. But am awaiting the new bed to try and sort it out.David took the kids to the dentist and we are still no further ahead on the fact that Eilidh hasn't lost any teeth.

Tuesday we went to the science festival in the assembly rooms. It was good but in future I think instead of going with friends, we need daddy to take 1 child and mummy to take the other. We did have a good day with Lewis, Logan and Petra. Then after that we went to Meet The Robinsons. Disney have done an excellent job with that film.

Wednesday Granny and Grandad C took the children to the Falkirk Wheel. They seemed to have a great day.

Thursday we made our Easter Cards and just chilled with a long bike ride at teatime where Mummy let 2 children have a McD's.

Friday we met up with 4 of the 5 C's. It was a lovely day bar Murray's accident which gave him a huge bruise on his chin making mummy think his face is dirty.

On Sunday we went Easter Egg rolling. Will post the montage later.

New Bed

We've bought a new bed after 9 years. You can see it here It comes a week on Wednesday so I can't wait until it arrives. It is soooooo comfy with it's mattress and when I was lying on it, for the first time in a while I felt comfy lying down. Think I may start thinking about decorating the bedroom although I really should do Eilidh's first. I've found this bed for Eilidh. It's fab and just what we need for her room.

Will post piccies once we have our new bed. Oh the excitement lol.
