How are you this evening Sammy?

That's great news mums, especially just before Christmas I'm really pleased it was good news for you.

Sounds like everyone is having a rough time at the mo, hugs to everyone.

Shoshe - I love the idea of looking, laughing and shouting!

I've been to the hospital today for the ultrasound test. It appears all clear, and they said that the mammogram is clear as well. The only thing is an inflammed lymph gland, but was told that they aren't concerned as could see white in it on the ultrasound!! So will check this with the doctor next tues, but at the moment Christmas is looking jolly again in the mums house. Thanks for all your well wishes and support. Off to bed now, I'm exhausted.

Why on earth can't I find round boiled sweets anywhere?! I am going to make Christmas tree cookie decorations tomorrow and need boiled sweets but can't find them for love nor money!

Sorry you're having a hard day NumberFour. I have been a bit like that today. Thank god everyone calmed down after dinner

Shoshe - I'm liking the look and laugh approach too! Would be most amusing!!

Hope you are feeling better now LT! Why did you have a hangover on a school night?!

Not sure about sick mindee VV. Find out when they were last sick and then I would do at LEAST 48 hours from then.

had 4 this morning plus my own
2 sleeping now and my own at dress rehearsals
one being dropped off before school run
collecting 3 after collected my own from rehearsal

so this afternoon i will have: one from this morning, my own, plus pick up of 3, after having dropped off one

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

and I don't have any wine in the fridge.

Chrismas party on Friday - need to add my shopping spree to SammyK's to do list!

I am dragging myself through the day, counting the hours til 6pm! I love love love my mindees but boy oh boy i want a break.

LOL! I would go for the Stand and Laugh approach!!

"Oi! Over 'ere, matey!" or something like that (bearing in mind my Safrican roots!)

Shoshe, do they not know at all that you are moving or just that they don't know when?

Morning all.

Vi - know the feeling about no get up and go, I haven't bought ANY Christmas presents yet and was planning to when off next week but now we have nan's funeral, I won't be able to do that. As for mindee, cancel them. If a mindee is sick here they go home and yes, we'd probably have the germs anyway but doesn't matter. Oh, just re-read that, you mean Thursday. Errrr, if it was me I'd have them if 48 hours had passed so that means only if they are not sick again.

Will try and read other messages later, bit hungover this morning and can't read much or makes me feel sick (I know, self inflicted!!). Ds1 is now on the ferry to France with my db, can't believe we won't see him til Saturday!

Catch up later x

ds went to his preschool party today dressed as dr.who! he breaks up today .

i have a huge list of things to do but no get up and go -

i have a mindee all day thurs but he has been sick in night, tail end of d&v bug i wonder if i should cancel him? we had him last monday so might already have his germs . . . . . really don't want to be ill for christmas.

cooletc, hope your LO feels better soon!

EM, I am doing it at Kingston Uni. Where are you doing it?

Morning all (walks in wearing a surgical mask). Ive had to close as my DS has come down with the D & V virus, ear infection and has already suffered a cold for 2/3 weeks. Its just not fair for the little ones.

I cant remember the last time he ate normally . At the moment he is eating Pringles. I know that they are crap not good for him, but id rather he had something in him than nothing.

Hope everyone else is better before Christmas. I cant wait ho ho ho.

Oh before I wander off, did anyone see that ridiculous idea on GMTV yesterday morning, you know when they do the 1 minute craft. They made choc crispy cake rings to hang on the Christmas tree . Can you imagine the mess when they melt and fall to pieces on your carpet.

I can just see my kids and dog having a good old munch on them. One of the craziest things ive heard. (apologies being sent to those who liked the idea and made them).

no4 yes i am at the moment - its a great course, but i'm finding it hard to do as a childminder. its the whole leading others that becomes a challenge when you work on your own! I have led a few childminders in some new things which counts but i feel like i'm only touching the surface compared to nursery workers.

I am debating whether to continue with it in the new year but not because its too hard or because its bad but because i'm having a meltdown over what i wnat to do with my life!

where are you doing it? i can let you have some of my books if i do give it up, they're hardly used so can let you have them for what i paid if you're interested!

Mums pokes her head around the door to make sure its ok to come in....(germs!!!)

Sorry to read that so many of you are suffering. Ds1's school has been closed because of the novovirus, but hopefully we haven't caught it (finger crossed emotion), but ds3 is still quite low with flu type symptoms - so hopeing that I don't get this!

Unsure if to go to the network christmas thing tomorrow - give me your advice ladies.

Off to hospital for my ultrasound later, so sitting on the sofa now having cuddles with the sick one and trying not to think about it.

eleanorsmum, are you still doing the EYPS? How is that going? I start on 8 Jan with 6 month course

Just looked up on NHS direct about symptoms and it says to call 999 immediately! Ok, head hurts but not going to call an ambulance! Hope it's not that bad !!

Oh my goodness, not sure I want to come in today with all those germs swimming about. I hope you all get better before christmas!

I have had a REALLY bad headache for ages now. I keep not doing anything about it but it has got so bad now that I have had to make an appointment. It first started after I had my miscarriage in June and thought it was related as they did seem to go away, but now they are back with a vengence and I can't cope My dads wife (used to be a nurse) said it sounded like neuralgia and having read about it (always a bad idea!) it does sound like that but will see what the doctors says (last time they fobbed me off but this is NOT normal).

Anyway, off to drop in when mindees arrive (already had text to say going to be late!!)

morning all. we've got antibitoics now - fridge is like a pharmacy! hoping they kick in before xmas! hadn't connected my iffy tum to the cold but makes sense too! not d+v but loose (sorry!).

busy day today - got three this morn then 4 over lunch and three this pm! taking three pm ones to toddler xmas party at church which should be fun.

some of you may have seen my thread yesterday about leaving cming, i'm very confused at the moment! not sure which age group i want to work with as a career! am hoping 2 weeks off over xmas will give me time tot hink and decide....

hope you all have good day

exits leaving vicks vapo rub, olbas oil, and ultra balm tissues for all!

Lol at foof meaning something else,i only thought about that after i posted. Well DD1 is foofing as we speak. Choosing what to do with her hair and what lippy to wear lol.
