I’m having a second attempt at taking the kids out for lunch.

Thanks Anna. I was one of those children with a dodgy childhood. My only parenting queues have been “what would my mum and dad do, I’ll do the opposite.” It seems to have worked so far.

Thanks Carole. It’ll be a better day today. They can help me flip pancakes. (Not religious, just like pancakes)

Oh good grief Sam, you poor thing. I hope those symptoms calm down. I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t sleep regularly, it’s the one thing I can pull off. Take care.

Thank you for clapping.

That was the rule I was taught. No comma before ‘and’ under any circumstances. Then again, teachers used to spell words incorrectly in our spelling books too.

The way I was taught a thousand years ago in the UK was there is no comma before 'and' under any circumstances. There are, however, other things I was taught at school which are incorrect. I don't have much faith in what I was taught and tend to question things more as a result.

We have anxiety in the family so I understand a bit about that.

I hate disappointing the kids. There was not an awful lot of happiness in my childhood so I take things like this to heart. It makes me feel like a failure that I couldn’t even take them out to lunch.

Clapped that.

I’m too annoyed for anything to work. I’m a bundle of peri-menopausal belligerence and raised middle fingers. I’d stomp for a bit but it hurts too much. I hate everything and could cripple someone’s car with a baseball bat, except I can’t be bothered. And it hurts too much. Bunch of arse.

Generally annoyed. It’s bright and sunny. I limped to the bakers with a taped up ankle and a walking stick to take the kids out to lunch. Just after 12 and all the tables were taken. Now they’re back in their bedrooms with takeaway sandwiches and I’m in pain because I didn’t get to break up the walk with a rest. Painkillers don’t work either.

How wonderful. Well done.

Lol. Nice one, Ted!

I have one grammar thing that adds it and another one that removes it. I read an article once that said if you use it, you can never be wrong.

It can be reversed in some cases. I’ve been borderline for years. I was hoping for some medication to help in the short term, lose 3st and possibly reverse the diagnosis.

Hope she responds well to the procedures.

I’ve just had blood tests. I’ll find out next week if I’m diabetic or not. If I am (massive family history) I can take pills, start to feel better and lose the weight I need to in order to better control my blood sugar. If I’m not I still won’t have any answers as to why I feel shoddy and why I had a bleed at the back of my eye.

Thanks Eva. Well done Elina. It feels good to be published doesn’t it!

Yep. I’m ok thanks Carole.

I hope they figure out a suitable treatment plan. Look after yourself as well.
