hi ginger

Hi Kitty
I've got a cataglogue at home that hasnt been collected yet....its been here nearly a week so I guess she wont come back. Do you want it?

hi everyone..

catalogue even!

ginger lol

GING!!!!!! Many congrats! Haven't been on for a while and was reading backwards and thought it was good news . I'm so pleased for you. What's you due date?
Bumps good that ds's speech is getting attention; shame about wait for ST - I know it's the longest waiting list in our health authority, a disgrace really.
KAYZ, hope you can get sorted health-wise - that's a long time to have suffered x
SES, wow you do sound busy!
RUGBY I too can't believe how quickly the pregnancy is going - enjoy these last few mths though, it's such a lovely time.
TINKS, I think I too have a rain-sodden catalogue by the garden shed. I'll send it to you if you cough up the p&p .
All fine here. Back at work Monday 26th March which I'm sort of looking forward to, but also a bit nervous and worried too about how S will settle at nursery. Still, I've done it enough to know that life goes on, things settle down, and I'd pull my hair out if I didn't get back soon
Love to all!

Hi all sorry been a bit distant so much going on. Im really ive just had ds parents evening and ive cried. For the second parents eve in a row it seemed they had nothing nice to say. He has probs with speech, they brought it to our attention and we have had it looked its and we are having a salt assessment a week fri. Yet in this meeting they asked why we haven't taken action despite me telling staff repeatedly. They have said he isnt independent enuf, is too
Emotional blah blah blah honestly not one nice thing was said. I dont even wanna take him tomorrow as i got the sense they think he is in someway defective!!

hi diege
good to hear from you any buys
wow back to work soon then!! i cant believe it is march tom!!

hi bb - sorry for all the stress with ds it is so hard when they have issues - it must be so hard if the school isnt on board!! sounds like the school r being very harsh!!!
poor u would be good if they could at least be a bit positive he can't be all that bad. i am sure he has lots of lovely qualitlies too
hope i have helped

Lovely to 'see' you Diege!

BB that's rubbish!! They need to wait for him to see the SALT people first. Plus he's only little, he won't be that independent yet.

Thanks kayz and kitty, he is 2.4 i dont know how independent they want him to be but he is sensitive and i wouldn't change him for all the world! Problem is they are pushing him like its school or something! I am going to get in touch with some local cm's i think we both would be happier in a home setting!

Sorry for the mememe! Hope everyones ok x

Morning all

Diege! great to see you pop in, chair being kept warm on the wagon sofa for you :) Thanks for the congrats. I am 5wks today and due 1st Nov or thereabouts.

BB- when I read your post I thought I'd mis-read you previously saying how old your DS is! I cant believe you are getting negative comments for a child so young. Must be very stressful. Roll on the appt for the SALT.

I have made my booking in appt with the MW they dont see you until 8wks now so got wait 3 wks ...all very real now! Slight nausea coming and going plus tired but not much else going on yet.... its still very early I guess.

Morning!

Diege - good to hear from you. Interesting that the apprehension around returning to work doesn't change with more DC! I guess it is just a question of recognising it's worked before and will work again!

BB - I'm really shocked at those comments!

Ginger - yay for reassurance of symptoms :)

Hello kitty, Kayz, Star, Rugby, Bumps and anyone else I've missed!

If anyone gets a minute, could you have a look here

hi kay, bb, ses and ginger

bb - ridiculous comments he is still young!!
ginger - yah not long till booking in appmnt
ses - have answered other thread tricky decision

Morning! BB sorry you're having al this stress - is it nursery who picked up the so-called 'problem'? Bit confused with parents evening ref (sorry if I have got that totally wrong!).
SES, I'll have a look at your other thread. I must say I do feel less anxious with dc 5 and nursery than I did, but still worry about things like feeding, sleeping etc esp in relation to the routine S has got and how they might not 'get it right' It has been nice being off, and of course I now want to stay off with the date getting nearer, but know things will be fine so am trying not to think about it too much!
Morning TINKS!
Better go, S whinging!
D x

Hi all - been lurking, just rubbish at posting because I'm usually lurking on my phone rather than the pc now i'm not sat at one all day!
Ginger - 5 weeks yay! Try to remember that you will be very glad if the symptoms stay at current levels and don't get worse, despite how "reassuring" lots of symptoms are
Diege - good to "see" you on here. Wow, work time again already. I totally get the worry about whether they will do his routine right, but guess that by this time round you have plenty of experience of dealing with it. How is life with 5 DC now DS2 is settled into the family?
Ses - will have a peek at your other thread after this. How are you doing? You look very well in your FB photos
BB - sorry that you're having stress with DS' nursery, hope the SALT appt comes through soon - you would have thought they would be more understanding... our nursery is really focussed on special needs of any sort.
Rugby - how are you doing, I have to admit to being totally out of the loop when all the pg ladies are due - are you and Ses due around the same time... do we need a list (control freakishness coming through).
Kitty - does the betterware give you a reasonable pot of luxury money? A lady came round before Christmas looking for Avon representatives, but we were just about to go away and I wasn't sure - presumably you find it worth it?
Kayz - you must be within last 10 weeks now, no? Are you enjoying the down time you get when both DS are at nursery/school? Expect you will be feeling you're getting your exercise in with the school run 3x a day!
Right, must get lunch for DD - just been to messy play. Am finding now that she's nearly 3, she is more than ready for nursery - real shame she won't get a place until September because all of our nurseries are full by this stage in the year. Am starting to arrange play dates for her to keep her interaction with other children up. Admit it has given my decision to stay at home a bit of a knock... feeling less confident in my decision this week, seeing as we're broke and she keeps asking to see her friends at nursery . Am sure it will be the right decision in the long run and I can see now that it's really likely I'll be back at work this time in 2 years once they're both in school, so really relishing this time and I know it was never all going to be wonderful (except through my rose-tinted glasses)... has made me decide that until she's in nursery, I'm not going to stress about the house being clean and tidy, since if I get her to help clean with me, she can go through either a whol packet of wipes within about 15 mins, or a whole bottle of polish in same time and I feel bad if I'm busy cleaning and she just then wants to watch telly...
Sorry, very self-centred rant, is sunny today, so to make the most of it, we're going to the park by the river after school, which should be fun and I don't have to cook, since I'm getting portions of casserole out of the freezer for tea - yay!!!
Hope you're all enjoying some sunshine too.

Star I am 24 weeks today so 16 to go. I am feeling slightly fed up. I don't want her to come drastically early of course but I am already getting to the point of being sick of being pregnant. I think being has caused it. I just wanted to take loads of drugs like ibruprofen and lemsip etc. Getting far too much exercise I expect to have legs like a supermodel soon

hi diege
hi starry i make £30 max a week so yes not bad
hi kay over half way hopefuly the rest will go quick

we r looking at part exchanging on a new home with taylor wimpey
have had our house valued by 2 different estate agents now waiting for taylor wimpey to ring with an offer
is exciting!!
desperatly need to move house is too small,we use downstairs room as our bedroom and girls need a bigger garden
we looked around show houses at wknd all so lovely

Ooooh Tink, they have just built some nice new houses here too. They open the show houses this weekend and I am tempted to go have a look. But I think all the 3 bedroom ones have already been reserved.

I will never ever remember to call you Kitty,

kay lol

Hi all thanks for your support, more negative comments in his contact book today! Diege yes same nursery but they seem to gear the whole place like a military school!! Really punitive, parents evenings every three months! I would tell u all the exact example they gave of his discipline, made me cry, as sounded like picking on him, but dont want to out myself to anyone in rl mn is my sanctuary We have decided to move him and im seeing two childminders next week so hopeful we will leave there soon!

kitty thats goo money! kayz hope things get easier! ses ginger star and bumps hope you are all ok sorry to anyone ive missed x

hi baby i would definetly consider sending him to a different nursery sound farto strict

Hi kitty, yes defo going to move him looking at cm's next week and hoping i find one i like, ive been nervous about a cm as you are trusting one person but i think the setting will encourage him

Hi all

BB- that doesnt sound right.. glad you've made the decision to move him- sounds like a good move.

Kitty - house sounds good :)

Ses- how are things with you? hope you arent struggling too much with the situation regarding the other thread.

Decided to POAS again today, to use my last CB digi. Was +3wks. to take that as a good sign and maybe start believing im up the spout!

xx

Ginger - yes! You are up the spout

kitty - potential move sounds exciting! Are you looking at it more over the weekend?

BB - sounds like you are doing the right thing exploring other options!

Star - hello!! I will be 28wks on Sunday. Sorry you've been having a week of doubts. It sounds like your gut feeling is still that you've made the right decision in the long run so stick with your gut. As the summer approaches there will be plenty of time for DD to go out and about and mix with other children.

I am finding the potential move to Dubai a bit all-consuming at the moment. One minute I'm in tears not wanting to go, the next I'm trying to see the positives (but struggling!) This afternoon I've been working from home as the washing machine was meant to be being fixed (it can't be resurrected though!) and I've tried to be objective and written down a whole load of queries to discuss with DH that will help me be more informed. We've got a babysitter for tomorrow evening and plan to go out and talk it over.

In other news, I learnt today that I won the first stage of the Best of the Best award that I was nominated for at work - Best of the Best Field Team leader in the SE!!! I think I win some High St vouchers :)

Also, bedtime with DS has been awful this week. Since we took the sides off his cotbed at the weekend, neither of us has been able to leave him until he's actually been asleep. Last night at one point I got so frustrated and because DH was away and the dogs were being noisy outside as well, I said to DS that I was going to leave him to go to sleep himself. I just went downstairs and locked the dogs in the house and then went straight back up but he was distraught with tears, red face and banging on his bedroom door. (He can't open it as the handle is high up). I then had to get him to sleep which took until gone 9pm so I jusy had toast and jam for tea.
Anty ideas on this one or do we just need to do a few nights of tough love? I had thought of getting him a CD player for his room with lullabies but after last night I'm not sure that will help!
