After expecting Simon to come home for a sleep over, he was lucky enough to get another infection, which meant that he was hooked up to a drip 3 times a day for antibiotics. This made the night stay impossible as the treatment needed to be administered at very early and very late times.

The good news out of the treatment is that the infection has cleared and therefore on Wednesday, Simon was able to have the Botox procedure on his bladder. The Botox can take up to 2 weeks to take effect, so being day 2, we are monitoring the situation.

Last Friday, for those who tuned into 6PR, they would have heard a very nervous couple of Bournes about to be interviewed by Simon Beaumont. It was an experience to say the least, and my attention was constantly on the hope that I would not snort...not on radio. I succeeded, no snort and sorry to those who were waiting for the snort.

There was also an article in the Joondalup Times this week, which Simon had a lovely photo of him taken in hospital, and it is safe to say, he doesn't look comfortable. Also in the Sunday Times there was a small article on the Quiz night in the sports section.

Simon came home on Tuesday afternoon to have dinner at home. After speaking to Alan Knell, he said that the committee for the Quiz night were getting together one last time to confirm any outstanding items. I quickly called Simon and suggested we have the Last Meeting at our house, and Simon would get a chance to see the magnitude of effort put into this event for himself. It wasn't long and everyone was notified, the meetings been changed to club Dundee.

A few beers, and listening to 6 different conversations happening over a table, it was an eye opener to see how much these people have been doing to make this event a success. The most exciting part of the meeting was when the 4 in charge of the whole event, had confirmation that they would be getting there own walkie talkie system for the quiz night.

So, the quiz night is upon us and with just over 24 hours to go, there is a lot happening behind the scenes. There are 103 tables and we are getting excited for what should be a great night.

Simon is home for the weekend so this will actually be his first sleep over at home. The girls are really looking forward to cuddling Daddy in bed on both mornings. This all means we are getting closer to having Simon home for good.
