The pounding in my ears is terrible today. Since dinner time last night it just got really loud. Hasn't been like that for some time. It's always there, but I have no idea why it is sometimes worse. Today I can hear it all the time, whereas usually day time sounds would drown it out. I wish those MRI results would come back soon.

Last night Barney threw a glass & metal snow globe at Jimmie and hit him above his nose, between his eyes. He split his skin right open. It was nasty. Poor Jimmie was in agony, and his nose immediately swelled up, with this big open gash on it. It was so deep that it didn't even bleed for quite a few minutes. I thought we might have to take him to get stitches but it started to slowly bleed and the gash seems to have turned into a scab now. Barney just didn't realise the seriousness of what he had done. He doesn't quite understand that you can't just throw stuff at people. We sent him to his room and had a good talk with him. He apologised to Jimmie by giving him some of his precious Halloween sweets. That was a big thing for Barney. He doesn't like to give sweets away. We all felt so sorry for Jimmie, poor lad.

Annabelle told me yesterday that she only has one jumper that fits her, and it was dirty. I looked through her wardrobe and she was right enough. So we headed into town to buy some jumpers. I got her 4 jumpers, and a pair of black jeans for Jimmi. There were lots of other clothes that she liked (she's getting to that age where fashion matters) and so I told her that we could go back into the town today with some of her Christmas money.

Not much else happening here at the moment.

  2. i hope jimmy is feeling better, and im sure that as barney gets older he will come to recognise what he can do and what he cant. i said to Beavin that maybe next year when she is a bit older she could come stay with me for the wknd n i could take her shopping and around derry for the wknd. if Annabelle is interested in shopping then she could come too at some point or with Beavin. x laura x

  3. Hi Laura,
    I'm sure Annabelle would love that too. They'd be good company for each other.
