Wait and See....

Hello one and all, so we made it to Brighton and back in one piece.  It was a truly wonderful evening and, once again, Jaret Reddick and Erik Chandler showed just how incredibly talented they are.  Together with Ryan Hamilton and Linus of Hollywood they certainly made it a show to remember.  

L-R: Jaret Reddick, Me, Erik Chandler

There was  of course the added bonus that we got to meet the guys before the show. We had previously met them when we went to Norwich last October.  

We had VIP tickets but didn't realize that we had to get to the venue an hour before everyone else, so we ended up missing out.  We got to meet them though...admittedly we had to wait around for almost 4 hours afterward, but it was worth it for the hugs.

 I am a self-confessed Celebrity Whore.  Some say stalker, but I prefer Celebrity Whore. Lol. 

I have been tweeting Erik and Jaret for some time and, on the way to the Norwich gig I noticed I had a tweet from Erik that he had sent the day before saying "see you tomorrow" - I nearly went through the roof of the car - Matt thought I was "special" and I don't mean in a nice way!!  When I saw Erik outside of the venue in Norwich I told him I was Jubbly_1 from Twitter and in his amazing Texan accent he embraced me with an "Oh my God, hi!!"  This time round I got a tweet from Jaret saying "thank you for the 2 hugs".  Things like that make me unbelievably smiley, again earning me the "special" title from Matt. 

It would be fair to say we had some quality time off.  

The drive to and from Brighton was actually a lot easier than I thought it would have been and, even after a long day on Thursday, I felt surprisingly refreshed on Friday.  

Eventually we got ourselves outta bed and went over to Matt's mum's to collect Brandon.  

When we had walked in on Thursday she had looked at the apparently "viral" rash that Brandon had and the first thing she asked was if it was German Measles?!  I assured her that the Doctor had told me that it was viral and, therefore, nothing to worry about.  She kept him dosed up on Calpol and Ibuprofen and he seemed to be over the worst.  Yet last night (Friday), Matt went up to check that he was sufficiently covered and discovered that he was absolutely wringing wet with sweat.  He was soaked, as were his pajamas, bedsheets, pillow, etc.  He also felt very cold and clammy to touch.  

To cut the story relatively short, I went with "Mother's Instinct" and phoned the out of hours Doctors.  We ended up with a 23:20 appointment and it turns out that Brandon actually has Conjunctivitis, Tonsillitis and German Measles!  He is now on antibiotic for the Tonsillitis, the German Measles just has to run it's course.  

It is now a case of "wait and see" to see whether I, Matt's mum or Matt's Step-dad (or in fact all of us) have contracted the German Measles too.  None of us have had it, and none of us particularly want it either.  Thankfully Matt had it when he was young, it's just the rest of us.  Just have to hope that if I do get it I don't turn out to be pregnant as well.  We shall see! 

Time for me to be off.  Got the boy watching Cars, Matt's out cutting the grass, I'm deciding whether to go out and enjoy some sun or stay here and watch Cars with Brandon for the umpteenth time this week.
