I was sitting in the dining room at the computer earlier when a loud fluttering caught my attention. I looked down to see a young pigeon sitting at my [...]

Not very chilly chilli!

Friday 27th April 2007

Well, after my mini mission on Wednesday I blitzed the kitchen yesterday….I don’t think it’s looked as good since we moved in! The challenge now is to keep it that way, we’re a right pair for dumping things (paperwork, toys, shopping etc.) on the surfaces, especially the breakfast bar, and forgetting to sort them later. [...]

Diet understood…next step: cook from scratch…

Wednesday 25th April 2007

So far I’m finding the new diet really easy to understand. I’ve already worked out that Green days are much easier for me than original ones, I’d far rather eat carbs than meat! I couldn’t cope with the lack of potatoes, pasta etc with the original day Itried. The idea of being able to eat as [...]

Update on Dad (again)

Tuesday 24th April 2007

They were back at the doctors yesterday. Blood tests shown more and enlarged red blood cells and raised cholesterol (5.9, I don’t know what it’s supposed to be though), the main problem is the high blood pressure, and he’s been given tablets  for that. One of the liver function counts was up too. Mum said that everything [...]

Good morning!

Monday 23rd April 2007

Well, the munchkin’s temperature went down overnight on Thursday, so I can only assume it was her teeth, there were no other symptoms of a virus or infection. She’s  as perky as ever again now. She’s had a good weekend, banged her head on Saturday by flinging herself out of Mr H’s arms as he tried [...]

Thank you…

Will post more later when I’ve worked out who to type at more speed (will explain later too!).

Bits and pieces

Thursday 19th April 2007

I ended up ringing NHSDirect yesterday afternoon. The munchkin woke from her nap with a temperature of 39.3C (103F), nurofen failed to dent it at all and she was so lethargic. They weren’t too concerned as I’d done all the right things (stripping her off, making her drink water, cooling the room down etc) but [...]

Update on Dad (and more)

Tuesday 17th April 2007

When Mum told Dad that the doctor was going to come round Dad sid that there was no need for that and that he’d go in to the surgery. His pulse was very high (Mum couldn’t remember what it was) and his blood pressure was 190 something over 124. Mum said the doctor was very [...]

Ups and Downs

Monday 16th April 2007

Well it was a weekend of contrasts.
We headed over to Bristol on Friday for the wedding of Mr H’s brother J and his fiance S. I spent much of my time looking after the munchkin, but we had a lovely time none the less. S looked gorgeous in a really simple cream chiffon/crepe dress with [...]
