Poor Flynn, that doesn't sound much fun. I'd be the same as you and steer clear of the Neurofen.
It is very tiring when they're poorly and you are responsible. We've got Jamie here overnight and it took him ages to go to sleep as he'd been out with his Dad, stuffed full of junk food and over excited. I ended up reading him five stories, the last one he was almost asleep and stayed settled afterwards. He has been having night terrors so hoping he is ok tonight.
I'm looking forward to cuddles in bed with both of my grandchildren tomorrow morning.
We're very lucky really aren't we? 

You've done well on your food today, I'm sure the four skinny chips won't have caused any damage.
Hope you (and we) get a peaceful nights sleep. Xx

I tell Flynn a story or 2 when I stay there or them here. We usually read a short one then I make up stories. Usually about a young boy, sometimes named Flynn. Usually start off at a railway station then travels all over the place. He has lots of adventures. If he is not alseep then I do the story about the little duck (a baby swan) who is looking for is Mummy. I love it, and yes we are so lucky.
I don`t know if I have already said - as Mum and Faye were waiting to go out and Flynn was crying on Mums lap because he was hurting, I said can he sit on my lap, He said YES, so pleased that we have that sort of repore together. His mummy said "he loves his Nanny"

They did not stay last night, went hime after skating. But - they are back Tuesday morning and overnight. x

Hi - glad to be back on Minis - missed you all - I tried to get on a few times over the weekend and this morning but no go!!

Think I've mentioned my food at the weekend wasn't a disaster but I was over on syns - today I've kept things light and will try to do that until our meal out on Christmas Eve - as an exercise in damage limitation!!

Had a nice surprise this morning - had some boring jobs to do and as a delaying tactic I checked my e-mails and had a message from a friend from where I used to work inviting me to join her and a few others for a coffee - so it was lovely to catch up.

I wasn't looking forward to doing the last of the food shop - but after my nice morning - the shopping didn't seem such a drudge!! Also I bought 4 ready meals so I don't need to cook our main meal until Christmas day now - naughty I know but my 2 are low cal ones and I'm somehow sick of chopping and cooking at the mo!!

B: boiled egg
L: SW soup
T: low cal chicken, veg and pasta meal

Haven't been hungry so far - had lots of fruit tea, 1 coffee and will have fruit if I need to eat more! Hope you're all happy with your days - will pop in again if I can get on xxx

EDIT - hubby brought a food hamper home - a gift from a client - OMG there are lots of lovely things in it - he opened 2 packs of gorgeous biscuits - I ate 1 shortbread finger and a ginger biccie - not sure of syns - stopping there but a bit cross with myself - I wasn't hungry and didn't need them - damn!! So much for eating fruit!

You were missed too. I have not tried much today, I though it would be so busy and slow so thought I would try now. Although was on a little earlier.

That is a good idea to buy some ready meals to save on cooking. There will be enough other stuff to do before then. How nice to catch up with old friends for coffee. I love doing that. Your food for today is nice and light Linda. Good for you. We do try to plan don`t we.

My food day was ok synwise but not so good on food. I will pop back in a minute and put it on.

That's a pretty good day - esp as you are tired - it's so easy to resort to comfort food when we feel like that - so well done Doreen.

Hope you sleep well and wake up refreshed - perhaps you could plan your day in the morning and include a few no or low syn treats to help you stay on plan for WI day?!

Enjoy the children and let us know how your day went!xx
