Been AWOL I suppose this should be a mammoth update really...

So, I got a cold on Thursday a couple of weeks ago and felt like hell, so couldn't be bothered to post. We had to clean the house for the landlord inspection, so I powered through that and assumed I would just get over it.

Inspection was on the Monday, so did that, then curled up and planned to get over the cold... but I didn't. It just kept getting worse, I kept feeling more rough and dizzy.

Then the car had (and failed spectacularly) its MOT, so apart from not being well enough to drive to stay with my friends for half term, I then couldn't bloody afford it either, so trip was cancelled.

On Monday went to play with Caitlin - it was fabulous. She thinks I think that because if her amazing house, "grounds" and nanny, but nope - it was because she is lovely as are her gorgeous children.

Tuesday - collapsed in a crumpled heap having done FAR too much on Monday :(

By Wednesday I had worked out that all was not entirely right (the world should not continue to spin 13 days into "just a cold"), so I went to the doctor. Turns out I had had tonsillitis for about a week (with no throat pain??) and it was the raging infection making me feel like hell! The antibiotics are now FINALLY kicking in, and I am just tired rather than weird feeling.

Saturday, we finally took Psychogirl2 for her shopping trip that I promised her for her birthday when I was pregnant with Emrys. Had a lovely if tiring day.

Yesterday - Little dude turned 2!!!!

I decided that rather than having a party for him, I would have an open house so that guests would hopefully be staggered throughout the day (which worked out really well). He had lots of fun, and eventually collapsed into the tentbed at about 7pm.

Tent bed was very well received, he went to sleep lovely.... but at 11.30pm he started this terrified scream - he had woken in a big dark box and was scared. It has however had the desired effect of solving the not wanting to sleep in the bunk bed issue - not by giving him another bed, but by scaring him so much that he was asking to get back in the bunks!!!

B has been happy and lovely all holiday. She is now telling me what she is feeling, and I am telling her ("I feel sad" "I feel cross") - it is working much better, she knows exactly what is going on, and knows when I am starting to get annoyed before it blows up into screaming fits!
