May 12th

doom day - results await us in a few hours, not sure if its the sickness bug that the eldest and hubby had the other day, but got a wobbly tummy this morning. Wrote down full list of questions that I want to ask and the definitions of the terms that may be used.

The last week and half have been as normal - hubby gone back to work (thank god - he was costing us a fortune! Not with lost wages, as he has been in receipt of full pay but with his spending as he was bored). I'm back to running around like an headless chicken with the house and the kids. Cricket season has started in full swing. The eldest plays for a club and is involved in 2 different age group teams which not only needs the matches days and nights sorting but also practice, net sessions and when hes not timetabled for any of these then he wants to go to the cricket club anyway. Might as well move his and hubby's clothes etc up there in the summer as they spend more time there than at home.

Anyway, off to the outpatients - finding a parking space is harder than thing of the winning 6 numbers on a Saturday, we eventually parked with 2 minutes to spare, only to have to sit in the waiting area for over an hour as the clinic was running late. We were called in to hear the most fantastic news - although it was defiantly a tumour, it was the type that doesn't spread and they got it all! He may still need a shot of chemo (as a precaution) but that's it for any sympathy from me!

I can get back to telling him off for having a good 'ferk around' in public (the hair is growing back) without feeling guilty. Life's back to normal...

1st May

his last day off work (thank god - hes driving me nuts, you will have to excuse the pun again!) he had to look after the youngest today as he was off school due to an INSET day. He lasted 1/2 the day before he went down to his mums, but he has managed to put a pair of jeans on, so there is progress.

He sent the eldest a text - meet me at the pub by your school as I have dropped your brother off with your nan. What hubby doesn't know is that the eldest's phone network doesn't have a signal at school! So the youngest was dropped off, I had a text to tell me to pick him up from the in-laws and he was picking up the eldest (he has a van that will only fit 1 in the passenger seat).

I got to the pub (as usual on a Friday - have a quick drink then pick up the kids) to find that the eldest was up there on his own and the hubby was on his way up - turns out that eldest was at the bus stop (didn't receive the message from his dad to go to the local near the school) and hubby's best friend was there, gave him a lift home; he couldn't get in as he didn't have a key so he went to the local and called his dad - "I'm up the pub, where are you?".

So in one day, he had dumped the youngest and lost the eldest - hes back to normal!

We have got to wait until 12th May for the results of all the test - on count down.....
