Proof I’m always right……!

……well, almost always anyway!

The start of the dermatitis did indicate the beginning of yet another flare up. Last night was spent hobbling from one room to the other in a desperate attempt to stem the flow of evil that was emanating from me. After a few mad dashes it finally stopped about 10.30 and I managed to get a little bit of sleep in between the waves cramps that threatened to take away my sanity. This morning was fun too; trying to haul my inflamed self from the bath and not render myself unconscious in the process is always a great way to start any day.

After shouts of “just do it”, I rang the doctor this morning and explained the joys of last night and this morning. He’s prescribed me something which he thinks should control things, failing that he’s going to “take a look”. Pray the prescription works please!

On a lighter note I was expecting a phone call from a good friend of mine. She lives over in Essex and has a couple of kids so we don’t get to see each other regularly, but she does call me about once a month and we have a good natter about anything and everything, just generally putting the world to rights. She’d sent me a text message asking if it was ok to ring me now, so I replied with a yes it was fine. Thirty seconds later my phone starts to ring. “Hello my love!” I answer it. “Hi Cath, its James from Derby”. It’s at this point I curl up into a ball and smack myself rather hard across the head! The shame! He’s a really good looking fella who works for us up in the Derby office. Tracy and I have a bit of a crush on him and we always joke that when he’s down here she’s giving him a rest! She’ll kill herself laughing when she hears that! So now I’m going to employ someone to screen my calls!

Broody is bad!

The wife of one of the guys I work with had a baby yesterday morning. Weighing in at 8lbs exactly she wasn’t the smallest of babies, but was delivered via caesarean as his wife is quite tiny. They already have one daughter who I believe is about 2 now. We spent a good half hour transferring photos from his phone to my phone to my computer as the IT man won’t let him have admin rights on his machine. I don’t know why he let me have admin rights come to think of it……… After seeing the photos and a couple of videos I got horribly broody! Not a great combination when I then venture downstairs to get breakfast, closely followed by Chris. Not good at all.

Anyway, I’m sure that four days with my friend and her two little ones will dispel any broody feelings that might be lurking beneath the surface!

Meanwhile, my dermatitis has flared again so I’m in for a rocky few days :-(

First Blog!

Tomorrow is pay day. It cannot come a second too soon either. I do get to book my train tickets to see my closest friend though. It's been a year since I saw her last, due to her living up the other end of the country.......almost! It's not easy arranging times for me to stay with them as they've not long had their second baby. Their little girl was born on 27th December 2006 in a bizarre and eventful birth. After 6 hours of labour the Friday before Xmas everything stopped so they all came home. On the 27th however the baby was delivered on the bedroom floor after just 15 minutes of retunred labour! Not ideal but at least the poor woman didn't have to endure another 6 hours!

So I travel up the Friday after Easter and come back 4 days later. All I have to do now is to find a few little bits to take up for my friend, her hubby and the two little uns. Oh and I should probably find some heavy duty ear plugs. Working for a construction company I should be able to borrow some ear defenders from somewhere! Just don't expect any intelligent conversation from me when I get back! Not that anyone gets any anyway.......!
