April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

What is it like?

Is it safe for Ziggy?

Are you feeling any better Cupcake? Hope the DCs haven't caught it. I felt nauseous this morning but then I forgot about it.

It has improved a bit. I keep forgetting about the cream. DH calls me 'Liz' or 'Lizzy' short for 'Lizard' .

Ds has had a limpet morning today. I just want to lie in a cool dark bedroom and not be near other people (DH)

Lulu you should try aveeno lotion, that is really good for dry skin and eczema, works wonders.
Hi dweeby, glad I'm not the only one
Congratulations on your baby. My lo doesn't nap well during the day either, only of I'm holding him in my arms.
Sorry you didn't get that house cupcake that's a shame but there's no point in stretching yourself financially in my opinion.
Hope you're ok ducky.

They were mixed Cupcake- stargazer lillies, dusty pink roses, and bluey purple irises, pink carnations, pinky purple lisianthus and dark pink tulips. Very pretty

Red velvet cheesecake sounds yummy. I could just eat that now.

I am still scaley. DH says I am turning into Lizard Woman. DS has got his voice back and is making good use of it.

Is DS1 feeling better after his antibiotics?

Well well well

Pie not pue

Yes the surprise was the flowers. And some Rose and Violet Creams from Hotel Chocolat. But the best bit was the cuddles and kisses and croaks from DS

Ducky- where are you living now?

Cupcake, I thought that landlord might come back to you. Not much you can do if it is just too much. I am shocked by rents. Lots of mortgages are less than rents. It isn't fair. That was nice to go out for a meal.What did you have? I have had a rubbish tea tonight. I have been at work. When I got back DH and DS had eaten- shepherd's pue . I won't eat it because of the meat so I have had cold quorn sausage sandwiches.

Sorry guys, have had no internet for a few days. It's been playing up so if I vanish for a bit that is the reason.

Hi dweeby! Sorry to hear of your mc

Hope you and ds are feeling better lulu! Sounds like you had a nice time, was the surprise the flowers?

That's crap about the house cupcake, hopefully you will find something else soon. I got a card and chocolates

Don't give in to him Cupcake. I think he might ring back and say you can have it after all. Otherwise, why bother ringng you at all?

We had a lovely time last night. The food was delicious. I had tapenade and grilled peppers and artichoke starter with bread. Then a rigatoni carbonara and green salad and lovely coffee and amaretto and chocolates. We walked home along the sea front when we left our friends- 3 miles and it was freezing (it started to snow half way back) and the sea was really rough but the cold and the walk will have burned the calories of the meal off. We only saw one other person.

DH is making breakfast with DS- mother's day. There is a surprise apparently We'll see what it is It wouldn't be the flowers I watched him put in a bucket of water in the garage yesterday I have already had kisses and cuddles from DS- and croaks. Still has hardly any voice. Am cuddled up with the cats.

DH and I are going out tonight with some friends for drinks and dinner. I was going to dress up a bit.It is ages since I made an effort, but it is freezing up here. Need to look reasonable but warm. Have decided on short navy blue skirt and matching suede boots, tights and navy chiffon shirt that cost me a fortune 10 years ago and I still love it. Have tried it on and it looks nice. I haven't been thin enough to wear it for about 5 years.

DS is being babysat by SIL.

I am starving! Can't wait to eat.

Hope the antibiotics sort out DS1 Cupcake. When we went to the chemist the GP has put antibiotics on my prescription with the cream. Amoxicillin. tHe chemist rang him and he said it was a mistake

Thanks Dweeby. It never crosses my mind anyone else reads this.

I have had a bit of a day today. I have developed patches of really itchy, dry skin over the last week- on my ankles arms, stomach and boobs. DH says I am like a lizard. I was going to the Dr's today and DS woke up with a croakey voice this morning so we have both been. He has a kind of laryngitis- it is bizarre, he sort of opens his mouth and does almost silent noises. Even crying is almost silent and laughing - just little squeaky. croaks. No treatment, it will go away apparently. Caused by a virus. He doesn't seem bothered and it is quite funny. Poor little DS. And I have eczema! And cream for it.
Two horrible children in the waiting room- loud and thoughtless, ignored their mum and she couldn't be bothered with them. I was getting really cross. DS was looking at them like as he sat on my knee with his Oleg grub.

Aw sorry to hear your DS1 isn't well. Must be so scary when they aren't well, thankfully DD hasn't been unwell yet. Yep DD is my only child. Can't imagine having another one at the moment! DD has her 4 month injections next week. She didn't sleep well after her first set but was fine after the second. Was the third set more like the first or second for your DS? It's the meningitis jab that causes problems isn't it but I'm glad she is having it after all the stuff that has been on the news.
