Morning!

We went out yesterday. My head hurts. Shhhhhhh! 😂

What have the GP said about the rash?

She didn't say anything! Had to see a registrar as our gp is on her honeymoon and she literally sat there and asked what I wanted then went on about how when she worked in a&e children presenting with diarrhoea always had constipation 🤦🏽‍♀️

It's only the second time I've seen anyone about it and there's another seven GP's to get trough I know them as I work in the same building.

Constipation can cause overflow which is often confused with diarrhoea. But I know this ergo I am not confusing the two (I don't think!)

Wreck this sounds so worrying for you my dear. Poor DS . l really don't know what on earth it could be except a food intolerance of some sort. I so hope you get to see the Gastroenterologist very soon

TMI, but isn't overflow more watery than loose stools? 💩💩💩

Ummm, welcome to the countdown to Christmas thread, any lurkers! (If this doesn't scare the preggo trolls off, nothing will!)

Sorry everyone

Yes fluffy that's what I thought also smaller amounts!

Back to Christmas. My mum messaged to say she had sorted all my extended family on her side and if I could give her £30 towards it when I have some spare money that's all I need to do she doesn't work so has the time to do all these things and it takes the pressure off of me! Phew.

We've also got a rewards account and I should have enough in curry's vouchers to get ds a garmin watch that he would really like so that's good too.

Wreck your Mum sounds amazing bless her
I loved the preggo Trolls quip too [fgrin[
You have cheered me up no end

That's really good, Wreck. How lovely of your mum!

Please update us on anything Wreck

Morning!

Brrrrrrrrrrr! It's 🥶 today. Our bathroom was freezing!

No idea on the weather situation yet, that will be my discovery when I leave the house.

Parents' evening tonight. The joys! I'll leave work 15 minutes early to make sure I get there on time.

We've got a frost today ❄️ car is frozen too

Sunny but colder here too but no frost 😁
I like these type of mornings, cold bright & sunny , blue skies . Lovely 😁
DH wants to watch the rugger 🏉 so not out today 🙄
I have a book on the go so will get my head down😁
Going to do a soag bol and a chilli for next two days so that will keep me occupied as well 😁
Have a good day everyone 😀

Here's my photo of the sky through a filthy train window this morning! Stunning.

Freezing here too!

Mrs i’d Love a spag Bol!

Fluffy gorgeous!

Morning all, sorry I've been caught up elsewhere. Form for 2nd promotion competition is now lodged (I actually got it in yesterday, not due until today). And work is truly bananas but I am just getting on with it and trying to keep the mountains from caving in on top of me (new boss is helpful though and understanding). DD having an emotional and hormonal rollercoaster and we need to settle the family into a "back at school" routine better - DH and I are both run ragged so we need to slow down, we both know it. I have my last training weekend for a while this weekend, and then only 1 trip for work booked, so it is settling. And DH is doing some travel but less than usual. And we are going to take a couple of days off over midterm (and we are not signing DD up for any camps as she needs some downtime). Today's planned purchase is schoolbooks, but I did get an email that the M&S Christmas food is out (books weren't in store yesterday, so I must see if I can get there today!).

I hope you are all doing ok.

Wreck I hope you get through the list - are they like the dwarves (happy, grumpy, sleepy etc and finally the "REAL" doc (the one who will actually be useful?!))??

MrsMad enjoy your book, I hope DH doesn't yell too much to distract you. And I hope your DM is doing ok too.

Fluffy how is the plot going?

Hi to everyone else.

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning

(Red sky at night, shepherd's delight!)

Beautiful skyline Fluffy 😊
Biddy l think it's very wise for you all to have some down time. You know the saying 'all work & no play makes Biddy a dull girl' 🤗
T'will do you all good to have some RnR . Thank you for asking after Mum . She's about the same 🤗
Good luck with the job application 😁

Mase just going to do the Spag bol 😋😋😋

Can I hop on please? I’m trying to do Christmas on a budget this year. I also want to do more activities with my family that aren’t expensive.

Mrs enjoy!..i think I might do my own one tonight

Biddy downtime sounds like a good idea for all of you

Welcome! octopus

I seem to have fallen behind so apologies?

I hope you get some support soon with your DS wreck

DS has been referred to the ALNCO at his nursery due to an odd thing he does where he goes rigid and shakes. Hopefully meeting with her next week to discuss.

Visited a primary school yesterday and DS had to be dragged away, he wanted to start straight away

The new Bill Bryson just arrived so I am very happy :)
