Poor you

I remember the bruise vividly - it was the shape of a hammer - the head bit was above the tube burst and about 6 inches by maybe 10 or 12 inches and the handle bit went accross my body and was about 15 inches long & maybe 5 or 6 inches deep

DH said I looked like I'd been cut in half

I was about 13 weeks (which is unusual) & I'd had a D&C at about7 weeks

DH agrees with you btw about the rats - but I quite like them

MegsD - thanks, I will

I don't remember having a bruise btw! I suppose I must have had.

The first one was just on the turn from the tube into the uterus, aparently the size of a grapefruit! God knows how I was still alive tbh. Only half of the tube was removed though. Pointless really, but I guess they only take what is necessary. The surgeon said, it as the worst he'd ever seen and then 6 months later, I had the other tube burst. That was blue lights and everything.

Did you have tube burst? How big was your bruise?

Still can't get my head around why any would want a rat in their house, but thats nice anyway!

Conveniently, it was the last day of the summer term and I only had term time kids at the time! So I was in hospital for a week and then got 5 weeks off and then figured, they were only after schoolies, so I could cope.

Do you know, until I started MNing, I only knew one person who'd had an EP and now I know loads! Actually, I've had two.

Awww Katy and Looney, I hope you are feeling better tomorrow, looney let us know the results of your Scan on Friday.

Guess what DH went out and bought me two lovely female rats this afternoon, Opal and Onyx.

When I had an EP I was in Hospital for 6 days & off work for 3 months

OK, if you can sit all day, then thats not so bad. I do know exactly how you feel though. I have had one sick day in 12 years and that was because I was rushed to hospital with a EP!

GP says prob not

I have help tomorrow - so I may sit on the settee and supervise

You're being too nice. The fact is, you are ill and as much as you don't want to let people down, you are not doing yourself any favours by working.

Mother who is in hospital - she must have someone, who can help in emergency.

Grandmas that won't have children & mother who has run out of leave - they will just have to phone in sick themselves! At least they'll still get paid.

Mother of SN child - well, you need a break too!

You cannot look after after peoples children if you are not 100% and what's your policy on infectious diseases? Aren't you carrying infection yourself?

One mindees mum is in hosp
Mum of 2 has used all her leave
one's Grandmas have refused to look after child again (both sides)
One has SN & mum needs a break

??

I dumped all the OOS & those I can legitimately lose

Looney - I think you have done enough already, go and put your feet up and forget about ofsted.

Katy - I agree with Mo, you really need to be in bed, you have already done most of the week. Take Thurs & fri off and then you also get the weekend to rest and you may feel beeter for next week (I'll phone the parents for you if you like and tell them).

Can you really not take the rest of the week off Katy? It'll only last longer if you don't.

Yeah.....I DID cancel....went to the toilet and more bleeding. Felt a bit pushed into it tbh and I just want to rest and hope everything is ok and not think about this OFSTED stuff til after Friday now.

Katy - you sound run down luv, you need to rest!!!

I think cancelling is the right thing to do btw

I have (officially) a throat infection, a chest infection, an ear infection, a problem with my sinuses,& an ingected mouth ulsa

I feel like crap & need to take the rest of the week off

I can't of course

Totally understand mate - told her i didn't think I'd be able to get anyone else to do it and now I'm going to cancel anyway, it's a bit too fast for me especially with what's going on atm, wrong time!

I really can't LT, I need to earn until the very last minute and if my mums get wind of me getting off, they won't think twice about looking elsewhere and I'll end up loosing valuable money. I need to finish CM on Friday and start work on Monday. I'm happy to do anything anonymously though.

Listen guys.....got myself into a mess....BBC reporter for local news coming tomorrow at 10am and wants to air it on Friday. I'm terrified. I didn't expect all this when I set the thread etc. up - I wanted to put something together to send to OFSTED blabla - not to be on the telly!!!!

I'm really worried now as supposed to be on bed rest. What do you think??? Cancel??? Postpone???

Mo - she asked if you were interested in them coming to you due to you leaving next year etc

I feel sick.....think I'll get dh to cancel

See the latest on this link

We've already been in the paper!!!

Mo - dusty cake sounds so nice

Afternoon, I am sitting down with a lovely hot coffee as sister and her 2 children have just left. The noise wasn't bad this time as I have a baby mindee here I think they were calmer.

Looney - can't the lady phone you to save you the cost of the call or is it a free phone number? I would just say what the childminders and parents have wrote on here.

The lady from BBC wants me to phone her..........what do I say? Where do I start?

How cool!
