wtw ugh definitely delete, not worth keeping as a 'friend'

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 21:01

wtw sounds like a bit of the green eyed monster then. Just ignore.

Whatevertheweather · 16/09/2012 20:51

Thank you Kleine they are pretty fab Smile

Glad I'm not mental for being annoyed - don't know what to say back, might just say that though we marked Erin's birthday we didn't consider it a 'party'! She made snarky comments about me falling pregnant 'so soon' after Erin as well. She lost her little girl just 2 months before Erin. I should just delete her really!!

KleinePoppet · 16/09/2012 20:41

OOOH wtw HOW gorgeous are your girls?! I'm so glad to be on FB now and to have seen some pics of them. Your Katie has the happiest-looking, widest-beaming face I've seen in quite a while!

AngelGeorgie · 16/09/2012 20:39

Meant celebrated/remembered....not attended....xxxx

AngelGeorgie · 16/09/2012 20:38

Wtw that would annoy me .. I'd have to post back how of course this was Holly's 2 nd party she'd attended... Patronising cow!!!!
Kleine I am kinda anal about packing GrinGrin...hope u re ok? Xxx

KleinePoppet · 16/09/2012 20:31

blizy I'm really sorry. No words, just a big hug x
More hugs also for elly.
mecha thinking of you for tomorrow
miasmummy how are you today?
angel that's great to hear. And a holiday coming up soon too! Your packing plan sounds v organised Smile
wtw yup, that would annoy me too... are you planning to find a way to comment back and make your point, gently? I only ask as I tend to find that if something is bugging me at the moment, it helps me to address the issue (tactfully!) head on.
green my dear I hope you'll be able to sleep better tonight x

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 20:20

wtw that would irk anybody, silly woman she is for saying such a thing!

Crochet is easier as its only one hook, and there are plenty of youtube videos to teach left handers.

Whatevertheweather · 16/09/2012 20:02

Aha fan I am a very cack handed left hander, many have tried and failed to teach me to knit Smile

Gah feeling really irritated - i've put a photo of K and H on Fb and titled it 'Holly at her first birthday party' and one of the ladies from my sands group has commented that surely Erin's was her first birthday party......it's really pissed me off, I may be reading it as snarky when it's not but grrrr anyway. Has made me feel like people think I've forgotten Erin now Holly's here which absolutely isn't true!

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 19:13

wtw ill teach you Grin

Whatevertheweather · 16/09/2012 19:05

Pm'd you fan memory blankets for the boxes sound perfect. I soooo wish I could knit/crochet

AngelGeorgie · 16/09/2012 18:44

EllY with Phebs I had spotting when my AF would have been due... With Georgie , nothing... Don t understand EPU's reasons for not scanning you . With Phebs I was scanned at 6 weeks though I was aware might only see a sac ( however, saw Phebs as a grain of rice!!!) ring tomorrow tell them you ce got pain ( fib) if needed then there's no reason not to scan you... Take care fx here ( with my mc s I started loosing old brown blood at 8 weeks ish then became like a period) xxxxx
Blizy sorry xxxx sending you cuddles xxx

Fan so glad you re not having to wait for your scan ... Xxx
Love to all ; hope everyone is ok? Xxxc
Busy weekend here , parents visiting so got to go out to the flicks to see " the Sweeney" a bit of Ray Winstone never did a girl any harm!!!!WinkWink had a lovely few hours at the gym just me & Ant chilling. Things improving as he s making a big effort to do more & appreciate me... His bf told him on Friday he may ( Julian not Ant!!) is heading towards a divorce as him & his wife have grown apart... Really shocked Ant as he always thought his bf was happy in his marriage. So that along with my stern warnings are at last , I hope, coming to fruition... Grin
Tired now though and tomorrow was suppose to be my day off but got swapped to Thurs ... Out tomorrow night at the theatre straight after work so ..., try & start holiday packing on Tues pm a little each night ...
Love to all especially all of is having a hard time xxxxx

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 17:08

Ellypoo · 16/09/2012 15:51

So sorry blizy, AF got you,it's all just so rubbish.

Mechavivzilla · 16/09/2012 15:11

I'm sorry this isn't your month Blizy many hugs.

Glad your appointment is soon fan

And glad you have someone to talk to in RL Elly There are so mnay internet peeps sending you love too!

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 15:02

blizy oh hun that sucks!

elly really hoping its just your little one bedding its self in. I remember when pregnant with Fi I started spotting in week 5-6 and I had period type cramping aswell, I thought it was all over but after a week it all stopped and that bleeding had nothing to do with why she had died.
My other two miscarraiges well I started bleeding and when I did I new it wasnt good as well I stopped having the other symptoms of pregnancy.
Each pg is so different, its so hard to know what is going on. It so frustrates me that you cant even take a pg test as you will have the HCG still in your system. I have eveything crossed for and glad that your DH is there with you, I am too my lovely.

Ellypoo · 16/09/2012 14:46

Hope your appt goes ok tomorrow mech, will be thinking of you x

No cramping, just the odd minor twinge so am not in too much pain.

I'm going to call my sis because she had a miscarriage at 6 weeks before she had my 2 wonderful nieces so will ask her how it started etc. still keeping everything crossed for a sticky bean. We'll see x

Whatevertheweather · 16/09/2012 14:46

Oh Elly I'm sorry this must be so stressful for you. I have everything crossed that's its innocent spotting and that there's a super sticky bean in there xxxx

(((Blizy))) sorry you're out this month - why can't life just be easy ey? xxx

blizy · 16/09/2012 14:43

Oh elly, I have everything crossed for you, I'm offering my hand to you. X

Mecha- we also had the same humanist who conducted Z's service marry us. She is now a firm friend, a truly amazing lady.

Fan- great news that you got your scan date through so quickly.

I'm out this month, started spotting already.

Mechavivzilla · 16/09/2012 14:30

Really thinking about you Elly. I know it is horrible and scary. I wish there was something I could do. So glad DH is there with you. It must seem so bleak, but heavy spotting happens in so many pregnancys and isn't always the worst. Virtual hand holding and passing the chocolate.

I know others are having a far worse time than me, but we have the appointment tomorrow with my consultant to talk about why I went into labour so early. DH has the next three days off so I will have plenty of RL support, though I haven't actually told anyone else thats were we are going.

Was awake all night as well, should have logged in here! Insomnia sucks.

The man who led Dexter's funeral was the same humanist celebrant who married us. He was so kind and compassionate, it just meant the world to us. His wife is a local artist who runs a coffee shop nearby so we see him quite often. They are both lovely people.

If I could send cake to everyone through the internet I would.

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 14:30

elly its not over till you know, but its horrible not knowing. I am hoping so much that it isnt over for you. Are you cramping at all?

KleinePoppet · 16/09/2012 14:09

elly Sad I know I can't say anything you don't already know off by heart, but I will say it anyway - you have no idea what sort of spotting it is... just keep going my lovely, five minutes at a time - we are all here with you and willing that little bean of yours to stick and grow beautifully. xx

Ellypoo · 16/09/2012 14:02

More spotting despite resting all morning, not looking good :(

Can't see anyone until tomorrow so got choc & tv and just hoping so much that it's not all over yet.

fanjodisfunction · 16/09/2012 09:14

Its a week monday.

Ahh corrie and emmerdale they are saviours at times like this!

Ellypoo · 16/09/2012 09:12

Yeah DH is with me today and will be looking after me. Have snuggled up on sofa with emmerdale & corrie omnibus' to keep my mind occupied and to distract me from constant trips to the loo to check for more spotting. We haven't had any tv since we moved until yesterday so got loads to catch up on!!

Do you know of a consultant fan? Is your scan this week? Hope you're ok lovely.

Thanks all for the handholding - I so appreciate your thoughts xxx
