I asked them ages ago when the letter first came through and they said they would think about it but have just chosen to be ignorant to the fact I ever asked. I have a follow up scan on Friday too that husband will also have to get off as well as toddler is a rascal at the scan. Anyway they are off on a cruise on Friday so u know they have to get packed etc *eye roll*.  I known i sound like a brat but its eating away at me mainly because I.woukd.of helped if i were them.

Anyway.... while A was at 2s this morning I went to currys to take our Hoover back as it has a hole in the suction tube. I had a cup of tea and a bit of birthday cake. We were supposed to go to firework display tonight d got pizza. I had 5 slices with no dip. Pregnacy has put me off the dip. We ended up not going as the dog was petrified of all the noises of fireworks going off.

I had bran flakes for breakfast, BLT for late lunch. We had some birthday cake after. Then I forced down a bean burger and chips for dinner.  Was so full
