Jingl

em, sorry to hear that your absence was caused by family/health problems. Hope you're feeling much better now and that family difficulties have resolved/improved.

Hi, em. I was wondering where you'd got to as well. How's your daughter now?

Good to see you back em

Thank you ladies. I have managed to 'dip in' once or twice but haven't had the time or inclination to post anything. DD1 has been in and out of hospital and returns today for tests tomorrow. The little ones are a bit confused so they've needed lots of TLC, while the big ones have been so responsible and helpful.
Add to the mix that the winter vomiting bug has attacked - hit me not once but twice! Can't see an end to it just yet but all fingers are crossed that the medics will see a way forward.
(Have done quite a bit of 'catch-up' reading and have to say I am a bit disappointed at the tone of some recent posts.)

em Thank you for keeping us updated. You've been having a tough time of late. Many GN have missed you, and along with several messages of support, I wish to add my own.

em hopefully the tests tomorrow will give some positive news. Take care of yourself

take care of yourself em
