I haven't blogged in such a long time. Things have moved quite far on in my diagnosis of my fibro. My weight has ballooned since taking the meds, but the meds help so much, that it's hard to know what to do in that respect. The kids are doing well as always and D and me seem to be plodding along. We realised we very rarely ask for a babysitter as we seem to manage to make time while the kids are at school.
We had a great family day today. It was nice just to be the 4 of us and we had a great time and no tantrums for once. It makes such a difference. The kids have 5 days off in May so hopefully we'll get time to actually go away somewhere. London and Alton Towers are the top favourites right now.
Another week off school for the kids. Don't know how the work will go after easter. Something to the summer 2/3 days a week would be ideal but will probably never happen.
New resolution is to make more time for my blog again.

October? Already?
We're halfway through October!!!
Tomorrow D and I go away for the weekend alone. We're of to London, we're going to see Dirty Dancing, then chill in the ice bar and probably a trip to the Apple Store and Hamleys.
Been busy working the past 2 weeks but lifestyle management course starts today and I could see it far enough. I am so tired working 3 days a week. I need to reconsider only working 2 days and learning to say no.
On Tuesday I'm taking the children to York for a few days. Am quite excited at the prospect. Will try to update before the schools go back.

Decorating
The hall was decorated about 2 and a half years ago. We'd moved in.... changed the stairs about 3 years after we moved in, then took another 2 years to fully strip the hall and left it another 2 years to decorate and the coffee colour was badly stained. The kids never hang their coats up because the hooks were too high.
So on Wednesday night at 5pm I announced we were repainting. By 6pm we were in B&Q. By 7.30pm the downstairs and the stairs were repainted. D had run out of paint. This morning we got more paint and finished it off. Then bought new coat hooks and have them up with the coats all on there. Our new flooring instead of carpet is in the hall awaiting being laid next week by DH. Just need to goback to B&Q and get paint and varnish to do the woodwork and then I think we may be finished.
Then in 3 weeks we'll paint our bedroom in the morning before we go to London.

Films....
Have seen a fair amount of films lately.
My Sisters Keeper was very sad but brilliantly done film.
Harry Potter 6 was very good but Murray disturbed me by needing the loo.
G Force was far better than anticipated and I was upset when Murray needed the loo again.
Aliens in The Attic was funny but had Murray sat on my knee.
The Proposal was really good and very funny in parts
The Ugly Truth was very funny and well worth the visit.
The Time Travellers Wife was a lovely tribute to the book and sad in places.
Adventureland was like Walle.. all the funny bits were in the trailer.
Julie and Julia was just fantastic, So funny.

Time flying past
We're nearly in September. So much has happened over the last 10 weeks. Looking forward to a couple only weekend away in October followed by Granny/Mummy and kids trip away. Then we have the boy's 7th Birthday as well as D's 40th and a very special trip for that.
I really need to consider going back to work. Would love to return to something 2 days a week but I think I will be exceptionally lucky if anything does show up.
Off out with the girls tonight. Am quite excited as it feels so long since I've been out and had a good laugh and am so in need of it.
We're back to the grindstone of all the activities. Life never appears to stop.

Been a While
These summer holidays appear to be flying past. 2 weeks today, those 2 horrors will be back to school.
I don't actually know what we've done. I know we've seen G Force and that the kids had a sleepover at granny's.
The boy is at football this week while the girl is at Drama. Giving me a nice rest. I went to the first rehersal of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Had a lovely time and am having a girly night to the Dress Rehersal at the Castle.
We also have the show from the Girl's Drama. The script is hilarious so can't wait to see it. Apparently already some adlib going on "It's not just food, it's M&S food!" HAHA
Got a lovely surprise at the start of the week, my gran left me some money in her will. Was told it was a small amount so expected £50 as my dad was left £100. But times that £50 by about 55 then we have that amount. So not expected but a lovely surprise.
