Hi acmum!!

Great to hear from you!! Go on have a 4th! Come and join me

DH still is out of work, there's been a flurry of activity so we're hoping that something will come up soon, fingers crossed

x

Halloooo there ! Just had to say "wow" to Heinz and Congratulations on number 4 ! You are v brave ! My DH keeps going on about how lovely it would be to have a 4th (think he secretly hopes for a boy to play football with ) but I can't even think about it !! Hope your Dh gets a new job sorted out soon - its awful at the moment isn't it ? Everyone we know is worried about their financial situation.

Hi CCPink - sorry to hear about your Mum .
I haven't worked out Facebook either - need to get on pc when Eloise is asleep as she is determined to punch keys whenever i am typing

Plp - how are you ? You sound like you've got alot on your plate m'dear! Glad to hear that Cerys is doing so well and sounds really chatty ! Eloise is still saying "no" to everything and squealing til she gets what she wants.

MLCF - glad to hear you and your girls are getting settled in your new house. Your outfit sounds amazing ! Hope you have a fantastic time !

Hello to everyone else ! xx

hiya CC, great to hear that your Mum's lump isn't too sinister. What a relief.

Search for me on facebook under nicky holmes

My pic is a silly one of me with Chubacka from Star Wars!!

Definitely need a new title Heinz.
How weird about your mum. My mum had a masectomy too but has had it back once since then?!? The current lump seems at the mo a bit less worrying now. The initial tests were clear but gets scan results and next biopsy results next Monday.
We are signing too though I don't recognise much except milk on a night!
So sorry to hear about your husband - it's really scarey how bad things are at the moment. Hope he finds something soon.
I'm not sure how to CAT you or what it is but I'm about to try as guess I can figure it!
hope we can get some others back on here!

Hi all, WOW!!!!

Damn, I should have come back and checked sooner for messages.

ccpink, I'm truly sorry to hear that your Mum has found another lump. Has she adh the results back from her biopsy yet. I do hope it's benign. My Mum had breast cancer when she was only 37, she had a mastectomy, she's been clear since. Can you CAT me? I;ll give the facebook details. Dal's on there, PLP, MLCF, Edie and a few others, it's great for keeping up to date.,

PLP, I saw Cerys' signing video - fantastic!!! Niamh is learning signing too, it's so amazing how much they're able to do and I'm convinced it's brought on her speech development. I too am hypermobile so know full well the problems it brings, poor little thing, she really has gone through it hasn't she.

MLCF sounds like you're doing really well, good for you, have fun at your ball, take lots of pics

I've had a stressful few days, I won't go into full details but briefly despite my best efforts not to, I've been caught up in the fall out between two friends and one of these friends has been pretty horrid to me these past two wks, I'm just having to ignore all contact from her now. Also DH is now into his 5th week of redundancy, we're not panicking yet, but it's not good out there

Oh I do hope we can get this thread going again, we'll need to come up with a new title!!

Hey we have people!!! waves a lot!!
plp - that's so great about Cerys, you really sound like you have sorted things well. I actually think that crawling is faster than walking, at first anyway so I can imagine you have the same chaos we do!
I have got fb but don't know any real names so how do I find you all?!? Are you a group? Am I just being dim??
I've been rubbish with the signing thing, been to quite a lot of classes but not done it at home. Em gabbles in swahili but not really that much in English?!? Animal noises are good
Em is also quite sickly but I think that's because of me as whenever I'm ill I tend to puke - lovely!!
choochy - we really need to see those pic's. Sound fab!
I'm having a bad week. Went home to parents for my uncle's funeral and my mum announced she has another lump - [breast cancer twice already for anyone with memory as bad as mine] Waiting for results of biopsy... Trying not to think about it at the mo!!!
Anyway I've finished work for the week now and can't wait to just do nothing but play with my pumpkin tomorrow.
Hugs to all - someone let me know if I'm able to find you on fb!

Yay! I made it!!!!!
This could be the last message I send until I get my own net connection, so pay attention ladies! lol

Dx and I are on more solid ground now that I've got my own place, I'm settled and things with him are much more amicable. He's agreed that he needs to start taking the girls for regular weekends (probably every other weekend to start with and see how it goes from there). He's moving back into his parent's house this weekend coming, so is obviously feeling very low about that, but it means that he may finally be able to steady the debts that are racking up over his head since I left, (only earning £1K and his rent alone is £620!), I'm hoping that he'll finally chill out and start thinking about the bigger picture before jumping into things with both feet!

The girls and I are all good, the house is nearly complete (a tiny bit more carpet on the stairs and the bedroom ceilings to be painted once the council have sorted out the leaky roof, which it looks like they've started on today, and fixed the tiny bit of water damage inside the built in wardrobes), and that's it!! It's amazing how much one woman can get done, it took Dx ages to do a bit of painting for me lol

I'm just about getting my head around the financial side of living on my own, it's been well over 7 years since I lived on my own and even then I didn't have to worry about council tax, water rates or even electricity to a certain extent! It's all coming together nicely though, or am I now inviting my bad luck to jump me one last time?!

Lolly's doing really well, a few signs here and there (I'm not really that well educated but I know the basic ones which is better than nothing), she's still allergic to milk but I'm finding that's not too bad (well, it wasn't too bad until I realised that we didn't have a cooker and most microwave meals *YUK!* have got milk in!), she loves finger foods, things that she can feed herself, she thinks she's a big girl but still hasn't totally got to grips with the idea of how a spoon works!!
She's a biscuit baby if ever I saw one, which makes life easy, and both girls practically live on fruit bars! At least they're eating healthy foods!

I've done away with their afternoon naps and they're now both fed n bed by 6pm (unless they have a bath n then it's half 6) . . . it's bliss! I've not got much of a social life yet but I'm going to the masquerade ball again this year . . . it's on the 6th, less than 2 weeks away now! I'm going as little (or big, if you've seen a pic of me you'll know what I mean! lol) red riding goth! I've been wearing contact lenses for two weeks now so that on the night I can wear some gorgeously freaky red cat's eyes! (Was going to wear black ones but a friend of mine has, co-incidently, got a pair too and is wearing her's , so I've changed mine without telling her ).
I'm wearing a heart shaped black dress with lace cap sleeves, black lace train (short one so it doesn't get ruined), and a corset which is the exact opposite of the cape that I made! (The cape is black satin with red lace and the corset is red satin with black lace!) will definately post pics once I've got over the hangover that I shall, no doubt, endure!

Anyway, must be orf, making the most of the net whilst it's still in my hands!!
xXx

Helloooooo!!!!

Great to hear choochy is getting there bless her!

Hiya ccpink, totally remember you and welcome back - have you got fb? I find it handy for sharing pics and videos etc and love keeping in touch on it when I've got the time lol!

I second the chaos thing too - Cerys might not be walking but she crawls at the speed of light and is cruising around the furniture. She's been diagnosed with hypermobility and her left leg bends right back which is what is delaying her walking. The paediatrician is sure she will be walking by about 20mths so not long now! Her talking is coming on in leaps and bounds, its like having a parrot as she repeats everything and talks in context too. She's teething again and always seems to vomit for some reason - she must have been sick in her sleep last night as she was covered this morning and she stank! She signed to us that she was stinky and wanted a bath - the signs are coming on well too (did put a video on fb but it wasn't her best by a long shot).

She's been discharged from cardiology which is great and is currently having tests done on her blood by genetics to establish if she has a 'syndrome' or not (we're not too bothered either way, we'll just treat her as 'normal' whatever the outcome). She still gets consipation regularly but we've learnt to manage it on a daily basis and what foods she can and can't eat...

I'm now on anti-depressants and DH is attending a clinic for drug dependency (the green stuff). Things have been a bit up and down but seem to be levelling out a bit now thankfully! Sorry haven't been on here for so long, didn't realise how long it had been!

Have said it on fb but a big congrats to you hopey, so pleased for you. How are you feeling now?

((((((big hugs to all)))))))xxxx

Hello everybody, CONGRATULATIONS HS even though I have already said it on FB. Must try to come on here more but this new layout is offputting!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'd definitely second the causing chaos. I'd also add climbing to that list too!
Hopefully she Mylilchoochyface will be back with us two loners soon
