All Is Well....

Touch wood!!! Last week Jade and Joe were both poorly with a tummy bug. Joe wasn't quite as bad but Jade was sick quite a lot. She is very good though, she isn't the sort of child that flaps about that she wants to be sick, she just takes herself off to the bathroom bless her. It seems that their appetites are back to normal.

I got the bug at weekend. On Saturday night I just knew I was going to be ill so I went to bed hoping that I would sleep through it but oh no, I was up at 4am being sick (and the other symptom lol) until about lunchtime. Couldn't even keep water down. I nibbled on a couple of rich teas during the afternoon and had tea at night. He he with the points I had saved up to then I could have had a fry up!

John had been bad with his asthma over the weekend, so much so that I had to go to the corner shop on Sunday clenching my cheeks, cos it was so cold it would have made him much worse. On Monday morning we put his steroids right up hoping that would work as the last thing we want is for him to go to hospital and miss Jade's birthday at weekend. This didn't work though and he had to get a taxi to the hospital. I was so upset and getting really worked up then I got the phone call 'Please can you ring me a taxi'!!!! He had a nebuliser then they discharged him!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!

The annoying thing is we have been using the same cab co. for about 5 years, and have always been pleased with them. I ordered one for John to go to the chest clinic last week as ours wouldn't start and asked for a non-smoking one, and the lady said 'it's ok, they're all non-smoking'. I was well chuffed. Anyway, we used the same co. for him to get to A&E, Fine. When I ordered one to pick him up afterwards, it turned up and when John opened the door, billows of smoke came out of the door! John told the driver to order him another cab, he would have been set straight back to square one if he had got in it. I rang the co. to order another one as the previous driver obviously couldn't be bothered, and when I asked for a non-smoking one, he said all the drivers smoked so it wouldn't be possible. I told him that wasn't what I had been told, and that they could piss off, I would go elsewhere. John rang the co. the next day and the Manager is investigating! Yeehah!

Anyway, the upshot is, we are all fit and well for Jade's birthday (again, touch wood!) for our visit to the Blue Planet Aquarium, we have been before and Jade loves it! I can't believe my little girl is going to be 5 in 3 sleeps! This time 5 years ago, I was eating a pineapple a day, eating loads of curries and walking up and down Clacton sea front! Don't believe a word of what the old wives say!!!! Jade arrived 14 days late, after a 42 hour labour!

Right, Offski to beddiboes!
