Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

Evening all x

Well I am so glad to be home after a busy day at work. The hospital was on black alert so no beds available, and I ended up working from 7.30am to 6pm without a break. I did manage to have my lunch at my desk so I didn't go hungry. Andrew spent all day at Birmingham's Childrens hospital with a little boy and his mum. The boy is quite ill and Had to undergo several hours of treatment. Puts things into perspective doesn't it?

But now I'm chilling on the sofa, watching the Newcastle match, and having an hour on here :) I must admit I'm struggling to keep my eyes open though, and I'm up at 6 tomorrow.

We have a house full tonight as all three children are in and Vicki's fiancé has just arrived and will be staying tonight. He spends most of the week with us and then the two of them normally stay at Matts at the weekend.

Daniels a really big Newcastle fan so he's thrilled they're winning 2-0 at the moment :) He loves his football and yesterday had an amazing day playing it! He set off to play for his usual Sunday league team in the morning only to be sent home again as the pitch was frozen. So he arranged to go for a kick about with his best mate Craig on the AstroTurf pitches at the football centre. Craig is a professional footballer who is flying out to America in January as he's just signed for LA Galaxy, and he and Dan have been playing football together for years. Anyway, some lads approached them saying they were playing in an all day charity tournament and were a couple of players short, and asked if they would join them. Of course they said yes!

In the first match Dan scored 3. Goals and Craig scored 4, and they won 9-1....and they went on to win every single game and then the tournament lol! The teams manager couldn't get over it! And Craig never told them he was a pro lol.

Morning lovely niece

I'm off to the UK later and will only have dodgy dongle connection so I won't be here for 10 days now.
Keep to plan or you'll be getting another kick up the bum, and you've already had 2 . . . :8855:
 
Have a lovely trip... It's cold wet and miserable but fingers crossed it perks up for you :)
 
Well done on staying on plan, on such a hectic day!

If Beckham stays on at LA Galaxy I will have to become Craig's new best friend!;)

Hi all x

Another long and frantic day at work ... But the bestest news tonight... Andrew has been offered a permanent full time job with NSL!!! I'm so pleased for him! He's worked so damn hard since the day he started with us, and although he was only banking he was working over 50 hours a week. Which was fine, but there was no guarantee of hours and no holiday and sick pay. With a proper contract he has all of that, and it means he may be able to get a joint mortgage next year with his best mate :)

Going to have to make this a short post as I'm so tired and still need to visit some diaries so I'll post my food and go have a nosy :)

Thanks for all the hugs guys :thankyou: Situation not resolved and not likely to be. I've tried, but to no avail, and now that it appears to have made me ill I'm just going to have to hope it sorts itself out.

I lost 2.5lbs Penny so pretty pleased lol! :D

Woke up this morning feeling rough and discovered I had a flare up of the condition I had in September :sigh: Part of my face was hot, red, painful and hard, but I couldn't go to the doctors as I'd got a dental appointment! :rolleyes: So I went to the dentist first, where I had a huge old filling drilled out right down to the nerve and then replaced. I had so much anaesthetic that my right eye wouldn't close to blink, and my mouth dropped so it looked like I'd had a stroke! :eek: But I never felt a thing so I can't complain lol.:p

I went straight from the dentist to the doctor. The receptionist took one look at me and said I could see a doctor in 15 mins! The doctor was lovely and thinks I have a stress induced condition. She said we need to hit it hard and so I'm taking 5 anti viral tablets and 4 antibiotic tablets a day. If it gets worse I'm to go back to see the skin doctor on Tuesday. The problem is these tablets have to be taken on an empty stomach, and it's not easy fitting 5 in! So I haven't had much to eat today but then I don't really fancy food any way. The last time I took these tablets I ended up in bed as they made me feel dreadful so I really hope that doesn't happen again. In fact I had to take time off work for the first time in 7 years which really upset me!:mad:

I was supposed to go with Gwyn and watch the Saints play tonight but I didn't feel up to it so I'm at home watching it on the tv, and we're losing :eek:

Some more good news though...Daniel went for a job interview in the hospital pharmacy today...and got the job! :) He already works there and thoroughly enjoys it, but really wants to progress through the ranks. The new job is a band higher so he'll get quite a big pay rise, and it's in a different part of the pharmacy. Apparently they were interviewing for three days and were looking for 2 people. They told Daniel tonight that he and the other person were head and shoulders above the other applicants and that his appointment was unanimous! So that's both my boys sorted with new jobs in one week! :DJust need to sort Vicki out now!:rolleyes:

Rest???!!! Lol! I'm doing the refreshments for Gwyns choir performance tonight so have to go up this afternoon to get set up. Then tonight it's pouring 150 glasses of mulled punch out and offering mince pies, and then doing all the washing up afterwards. Vicki and Matt normally help but there're at Matts Christmas do so Andrews going to help, bless him.

I am having a nice lazy start to the day though. Still in bed at 10am, listening to Treasure Quest on local radio. My face is so sore and painful, and my eyes are affected again and feel very sore and gritty, but I've taken the first of my 9 pills for the day so hopefully they'll kick in soon.

It's a lovely bright sunny day here, not that I've been out yet of course! But I can see the sun through the blinds lol!

Have a good day peeps xxx
 
Awhhhhh Dawn hun, that sounds awful!

Make the most of your rest, before you have to go out, and hopefully the tablets will start to work soon. xxxxxxx

My Mum was moaning yesterday, about how hard it is to fit in four antibiotics a day on an empty stomache or 60 mins before a meal, so five are even worse!
 
Aww thanks guys xxx Still feeling a bit sorry for myself as its no better yet but then it's no worse so I suppose I should be grateful for that lol!

Andrew and I got everything prepared and sorted so we feel pretty organised. We'll watch most of the first half and then sneak into the kitchen 3 songs before the interval to warm the punch back up. Then it's ladling it into the glasses and wheeling it into the hall without any mishaps! All we have to do with the food is uncover it as its all ready.

Better go now and decide what to wear as we have to be back there for 7 ...

Catch u later xxx
