[LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy]

Where is everyone today????? I came in for a moan so maybe it's a good job for your sake that you're not in

Off to find something with chocolate!!!

Oh dear. I hope nothing too bad to moan about Looney.

I am just waiting for mindee to arrive and then going to get through today with ease hopefully as knackered!

Last day today so come 5.30pm that's me done

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry was finishing off paperwork for January

I'm in now , can I thaw out my fingers please by the nice warm log fire.
1 mindee here and waiting for next mindee before going to last toddler xmas party.

Looney - moan away that's what were here for.

I think it's all just suddenly got on top of me.

In the last approx month, this has happened:

1. Dh made redundant
2. Sister's nightmare of going in a safe house to escape her abusive husband, soon after finding out she was pregnant even though sterilised in Sept, ended up with emergency op and both tubes removed and told she'd have almost certainly died had she not gone in when I made her (EP)
3. I fell last week and wasn't too concerned about baby but after a test, had hospital ring me to get straight down there at the weekend and now worried about baby, having another blood test today and hopefully won't have to wait too long for results
4. Sister finally got all clear (i.e. neg pg test) on Fri and then Friday night, wrote her car off by skidding on black ice down country lane and ending up in a ditch
5. Terrible state financially until dh gets paid on xmas eve, spent AGES working everything out last night and told dh there was £10 left he could draw on the Credit Card but we'd be charged etc. but he needs it for something, we both need petrol but can't get any and then this morning a dd comes out I didn't know about as dh forgot to tell me about it. It's messed up my whole accounts now And dh has no job lined up yet and last day tomorrow
6. Find out first thing this morning that my grandad's wife (been around as long as I can remember) has lung cancer

I've just HAD ENOUGH - sorry for the rant!!

Shosh - you managed to get into MN in the end then

Dont jinx it LT couldnt first thing hence I didnt open up, but suddenly can now, got such a lovely morning all LO's knackered so put to bed this morning as going to do the twelve pick up from school (Mum usually does it a drops to me) last one mindee goes fulltime reception after xmas.

So have had a tidy, lunch is ready, and now having a coffee,

Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time at the moment Looney.

I've had a lay in today, didn't get up at my usual 6.30am. Must be my first lay in for many months. Not working today (just this evening), so I've now got to face tidying my flat.

Cheers Nick, was just feeling sorry for myself for a bit but trying to snap out of it! I think I'll feel better after my blood test this morning as going to ask how quickly I can get my results. Need to snap out of it anyway as got mindees birthday party at 12! Enjoy your day off, do you really need to tidy up? can't you do something you'll enjoy or just chill for a change?

Yawn! Just up!

Morning all.

Looney - i hope the new year brings better fortune for you!

We've been out making frosty footprints today! great fun.

i do need some help. I have taken on my first real mindee - coming for final visit on saturday. I've got some polices done but not all. which ones do i need to have as a priority? I have done a handbook which has the basics in thanks to shosha! but never filled in contracts etc beofre and am a bit worried!

Morning all, just up and so cold I can feel me brain freezing. Off shopping today for xmas, any ideas on what to get my dad? seriously cant think of anything, got to be another bloody mug or tshirt! no!

Looney, just read your post Crappy innit? Things will work themselves out though, they usually do. What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger.

Although I've got 99% of the day off today, I'm not using it very well! I'm all bunged up and just been for a bath to make me feel better, but it hasn't worked much. My face still feels bunged up! My head it pounding too.

Right, lets get this Christmas spirit going then! What's everyones plans for the festive period?

I'll start!

Me, DH & DD have got my mother coming for Xmas day. DB and his family will pop in on route to his IL's for drinks and pressies.

Mother will go home at about 6'ish and we may pop down the road to Kbears for the evening. (I haven't been invited yet, but I'm sure she won't mind! )

Boxing Day, no commitments at all! We might all go to a footballl match or we might visit another family down the road, we might just veg with dvd's and log fire lit!

That's it really, no plans for the rest of the week. Think we're doing DH family at the weekend.

Been invited to a New Year party, might go there or might go to Kbears again!

I do like not having routine and just going with the flow every day.

Just realised that I have nothing good to give mindee for lunch as desperately need to go shopping!
Please tell me giving him a jar of food (he is 1 btw) won't kill him, just this once

Just got a phone call from tomorrow's mindees mum and mindee is being collected tomorrow at 1pm so I will finish work at about 2.30pm when baby mindee is collected.

ML. i only have my 5 and 9 year olda tomorrow afternoon, my stayathomes will be gone by 1, so off till school pick up at 3, and then 5 year old gone at 3.30, 9 year old till 6 but she is coming shopping with me, (we are having tea out)

Thanks for all messages, was just being a miserable sod earlier

I've been to mindee's birthday party and having a cuppa now whilst baby is sleeping. Just her and ds today, she's staying overnight and a nice relaxing day tomorrow with no school runs other other kiddies again (doubt ds will be going to nursery tomorrow). I'm expecting parents to pick her up at 6pm as usual but you never know, they MAY surprise me and arrive early, fingers crossed.

or other kiddies

for looney
hope the new year brings you better luck
hope your baby is ok

Cheers DMO - I asked when I'll get the results and FINGERS CROSSED I MAY find out tomorrow, otherwise I can try between 2-3pm Christmas Eve. If the result shows NIL antibodies, that's all that matters and I'll be happy again (about that anyway). Spoke to my poor grandad this morning who said that she was having biopsies this morning and they have to wait 3 days for the results and he's not sure if she'll be allowed out for Christmas She's only in her mid/late 60's and he's the older one and I don't know how he'll manage on his own. I just hope they can do the testing over the weekend and it's not delayed over Christmas. They are HOPING it's not the kind which would have spread through her body but thinking back to other illnesses she's had recently, it's not looking too good. What a crap thing to happen just before Christmas.

Right, baby just woken up so best go get her.

hope you find out tomorrow it wont be nice waiting a whole weekend to find out
