So you married kiwi ?

Alisteal · 17/06/2008 21:10

nope lol, I married a Cherokee Native American lol.

However all my girls' names are from other countries. Freja is the Norse Goddess, Raeden is a Japanese God, and then there's Calypso

Hi Ladies - been so busy at work not had time to post.

Alisteal - so sorry for your loss, hope you will find some comfort here.

Triplets - don't know if you will be able to post today but wanted to let you know that I have been thinking about you and DH today, knowing that he had chemo today, hope it wasn't too bad. Will he be staying in hospital long or will he be able to have the chemo as an outpatient?

We are off to London tomorrow for DH's check up at Barts where he will have a bone marrow test, hoping everything is clear.

Ive had four inches off my hair ladies!! not nearly so long now will add the pic to my profile.... my neck feel cold!!!

triplets · 17/06/2008 22:09

Hi everyone,
First of all love to Evansmummy, love hurts, it takes time, a long time, hard to believe at this stage but you will one day think of him and smile instead of cry, but it hurts in the meantime and no-one can take that away for you, or we all would.

Dippy, thank you for remembering about today. He was in the hospital for 4 hours, now has a pump attached to him for 46 hours, not sure how he`ll sleep, he feels ok so far, but of course its too ealry to tell. I hope you get some good news tomorrow, will think of you xx

shabster · 17/06/2008 22:10

Im having mine chopped tomorrow Lottie - cant wait. Bet you look posh.

Think I have a touch of the baby blues!! Can Grandmas get them??? Feel a bit deflated today - mind you this has been a mad house for the last few months. All will be well on the 28th - returning to our little bit of paradise - Rhodes. xxx

VaginaShmergina · 17/06/2008 22:57

Hi Trips, sounds like today went as well as can be expected and great news you wont have that journey to do for further treatment.

Enjoy your group hair cuts wont you......

Shabs lovely talking with you again today, I wish we were all closer, someone suggested somewhere we get a map and agree on a meeting place, sorry a couple of celebratory glasses of wine and names are faceless.......is that right ?

triplets · 17/06/2008 23:00

Night night Vaggy, get that map out and I`ll be there! Sagapo x

Alisteal · 17/06/2008 23:56

Heya Trips. i'm in Indiana, the great CORN state lol. We've been having flooding recently though

shabster · 18/06/2008 07:15

Good morning girls - everybody ok? Raining hard here and cold.

OP posts:
VaginaShmergina · 18/06/2008 07:32

Alisteal, you married a Cherokee Native American....... bet your DC's are beautiful. What a wonderful heritage.

Trips we need to take the international MN'ers among us into account......

Hawaii ????????

lottiejenkins · 18/06/2008 08:18

Morning all, weather is ok here....Hoping to take Wilf to see Ruby-Jean this weekend! Am waiting to hear today if we can or not!

feedmenow · 18/06/2008 14:28

I second an International trip! But have been to Hawaii twice so maybe we could try somewhere else if you don't mind. Maybe somewhere in South America? How about Cuba?

Ali, hope I didn't seem insensitive prattling on about hope, etc, etc. After all you've suffered I completely understand why you've decided against any more! I love the whole whale rider thing!

Trips, sorry, forget your dh had chemo yesterday. How is he feeling today? I (thankfully) don't kow anyone who's had chemo so have no idea whether you get rough straight after, a day after, a week after! Anyway, I hope he's feeling OK and that you both got a decent nights sleep.

Nice to hear everyone is getting haircuts ready for the summer! Maybe I will too! Although dp DID threaten to do mine yesterday after my little mishap with the clippers!

I saw a homeopath yesterday. She said she reckons I need to find myself a psychotherapist, not because of recent life events but because of life events going back to when I was in-utero! However, in the meantime, she is going to treat me and has also suggested I consider other alternative therapies to unblock blockages, maybe a bit of Reiki or something. Anyone got any good experiences?

Shabs, re the multiples pregnancies for you and Trips - maybe you can officially make your big announcement when you're back from Faliraki

Doobydoo · 18/06/2008 18:27

Hi All
Hopre you and dh are doing ok Trips and that today went alright Dippy.
Hope all of you have a lovely evening.xx

VaginaShmergina · 18/06/2008 18:59

Evening girls, watch out for sexy Mamma Shabs, she's got a new hair do and looks the dogs !

Alisteal.......... cooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeee
