A bang to the head and a trip to hospital

Hello readers sorry I have not been about the last few days. On Monday night I had a fall in the bathroom and cracked the back of my head on the side of the bath. I blacked out for a few seconds but came to when Brad came in calling "mum mum are you ok". I got up with Brads help and made it to my bed. I had a terrible migraine and felt a bit nauseous but fell asleep ok. When I woke up Tuesday morning I still had the migraine and felt nauseous and quite shaky but plodded on with the day. Come Tuesday evening my vision had gone funny it was like looking through a kaleidoscope in certain areas of my left eye. I decided to call the NHS helpline and get some advice. Whilst on the phone to them the left side of my face and my left hand and forearm went numb and tingling. The NHS worker was taking no chances and called for an ambulance. The ambulance arrived quickly and assessed me at home and decided it was best to take me in. So it was off to the RUH in Bath to get checked out. I had some tests done and a CT scan and all came back clear. The doctor said I had a mild concussion and a migraine due to the fall and that it had exacerbated my MD symptoms. I was sent home at 2am and told to take paracetamol and rest and to make an earlier appointment with my MD specialist (I usually see him every 3 months).

I was going to tell you all about my blackberry mid morning snack and our yummy dinner as well on Tuesdays post.....

Tuesday's mid morning snack from the bush at the end of the garden

Presents for the boys school teachers cost £1 per teacher for the milktray. I made the vase of flowers and used flowers from my garden

Tuesday's dinner of scotch pie and potato slices cost 24p a plate

Today I felt a lot better and a friend of mine told me about Aldi selling full school uniforms for £4. Well I wasn't about to let that offer pass me by and I knew at those prices it would fly out the door and I would end up missing out so it was straight off to Aldi`s. Sure enough when we got there there was a huge crowd round the school uniform. I managed to get the boys the following.....

Ben

3x Navy jumpers £1.25 each

3x 2pack of white polo shirts £ 1.25 each pack

3x Black school trousers £1·50 a pair

Pair of black school shoes £6·99

Pair of black daps £1·49

Pair of jogging bottoms £2·99 

Brandon

Exactly the same as Ben

Total cost for both boys £46·94 and all I have left to get is a school bag each, a pencil case and pencil set each which I will pick up from poundland next time I'm in town. I had budgeted £150 for school uniforms and school stuff but thanks to Aldi`s promotion I will have ended up paying a third of that.

If you need school uniforms I suggest you pay Aldi a visit quick smart before they sell out because at those prices it won't be around for long.

Much Love
