....therefore she cant throw us out!

Long may the support continue x

Hi Lovely ladies. Thanks so much for your texts and posts yesterday. So heartwarnming to know that friends are thinking of you in difficult times. Yesterday was hard. but indeed a fitting tribute.

for BQ So relieved for you.

Yay to Louey chucking her guts up because she's up the duff too.

Welcome back to the lovely Curly. Hope you're able to breathe a sigh of relief as you whip that house back into shape.

Mermaid Sausage sandwiches and cocktails? Some of us are dieting y'know! Lost a pound this week though so you can jeep your sausages!!

Waves to 4ever QA LBM Jools Cupcake and all the lurky-lurkers.

Barbie I have no shaem. i was the gossip too. Huge congratulations to Dolly for sleeping. Nothing to do with her gran being there and everything to do with her mummy's hard work.

Blue Tis Friday and you've survived flying solo. Hope your Dh is home for wineoclock.

Moon hello lovely and at work for keeping you from us. maybe you should invest in one of those fancy phones that some of the others seem to have?

Sabs lovely to hear from you. Hope you're managing to keep your head above water. Juggling work, home and baby is hard.

MLS Sleep deprived one. Hope you get your feet up today.

shaem, of course I meant shame and those waves were supposed to be at the end of my post

Morning. I'm out trying to buy some new shoes for work but currently I'm sat in Starbucks trying not to be sick - the penance for not throwing up first thing. Not sure the shopping trip is going to last very long!

Neeko glad it was a fitting tribute and well done you on losing a pound this week when things have been so difficult. I know I turn to food (and booze) in times of stress.

4ever will try and send you a PM soon just for the excitement

moon Neeko is right - you need an iPhone

Right, better try and shop before the effects of the banana wear off!

Morning

Well I put on weight this week , I'm not very good at this dieting malarky , but I will put in a huge effort this week, i've got my big bottle of water (thanks blue), and neeko is cheering me on, and burning calories as she cheers

curly poor Ajay has a cold and very red cheeks too, and was coughing all night, the poor love.

Just got some good news, DH gets his car next week so I can have a car at last, just as the weather is turning nasty, good timing

tis muscle vjay

Mermaid I love Ian Dury - DD1 sings along to my cd in the car but she's a bit confused about the words as she sings 'Hit Me With Your Wooden Stick'

Barbie thanks for the sleb gossip, I really hope at least some of it is correct.

Vjay I'm officially joining you on your Friday weigh-in as I've now lost a pound. I need to have a flatter tummy by Christmas or my Dad will have something to say about it. When they came over after dd2 was a week old the first thing he did was look me up & down & said "You've still got a bit of a tum then" how rude & totally unnecessary!

Welcome back curly pull up a chair & catch up with the gossip!

Moon What's been happening with you, any more thoughts on temping?

Neeko glad yesterday went as well as can be expected. Thanks for keeping me sane in my sleep depraved state.

I've just read about something truly awful that is going to happen on Eastenders - don't read this if you don't want to know. Ronnie's baby is going to die of cot death. It upset me just to read about it & I know it's only a soap but I really wish they wouldn't have such tragic story-lines sometimes. I'm sure we'll all be watching it sobbing.

Ladies im so sorry for my absence, been a hectic wk. cant believe i missed bq's scare, sorry honey, but so glad i got to instantly read the happy ending! here's to 2 more gorgeous graduates in a few months :)

neeko so sorry i missed supporting you too, well done for getting through a tough wk.

1 more pound off for me this wk. neearly reaching that magic pre preg weight! mls at your dad's comment!!

im well confused by all this sleb gossip stuff, whats going on??

my poor bf has been back in hosp for 4 days with bad case of mastitis & womb infection :( still bfeeding tho the star.

no news on dh job but thanks so much for all your lovely messages.

right ds fallen asleep on boob so off to watch claudia winkleman, tidy house for book group tonight & somehow finish getting ready for w/e away& christening

Well done mls, neeko and cupcake on your weight loss, and at your dad mls, why do dad's think they can say that!!!

mls I can't believe that Enders story line, it will be awful, I had a brother that died of cot death

cupcake fingers crossed Dh will hear something soon on the job front, I will pm you the sleb goss in a mo.

mermaid muscle , maybe you're right

Vjay I had a nephew who died of cot death, it really touches a raw nerve doesn't it? Not only that but I think every mother's constant nightmare is that is is going to happen to their baby, hence the fact that we all check on our babies several times a night. It's going to be very difficult to watch.

So sorry I've dropped off the radar things have been really hectic, had a mini meltdown at work due to tiredness but feel a little better for it

Fantastic news for bq and louey I was lurking and was so that you both had such good news!

Will be back for a proper catch up very soon I promise x

Hello lovelies

I have a still poorly Ajay, I really think it's a mixture of a horrible cold and teething, we were up half the night and he's not slept much today, he's just had a bath and finally eaten something so I hope he'll crash out soon

mls it does touch a raw nerve, like you say because it is a mother's constant nightmare, I think I'll not watch it when it's on. How are your sunbeams today?

buddha helloooooo, good to see you , so sorry you had a mini meltdown, being tired just makes everything worse, but glad you feel better now

Wee Ajay is laying his head on my lap,gotta go xx

morning all :) well it feels like life is getting back to some normality as curlygirl had a good night. Unfortunately my dh has now caught her cold and being a big tough man who couldn't possibly blow his nose, was sniffling and snoring all night. I should be more sympathetic but I'm soooo tired!!

I am so excited that we have two new bfps I shall have to go back and catch up to figure out who might be Number 3, because good news happens in threes, right!

I'm sorry I haven't been around, I have been thinking of you all constantly xxx

Back later :)

Hi girls...another teether here, a few good nights followed by a few crap ones. Even my mum couldnt scare her into sleeping
All ok here, nice to have extra help....havent attempted the bottle thing yet

mls and vjay i watched eastenders for the first time in ages cos my mum loves it. Its all turned rather comical and cringe worthy for my liking. I really do hope they can be sensitive when doing a story such as cot death. We had one in the family a few years back, hence us getting the angel care system as i was double paranoid. Sorry for your losses.

buddha ive lost count of the number if break downs i have had due to extreme tiredness you have my sympathies...least ds is super duper cute so you cant be so harsh on him, i bet one smile and everything is right with the world! Glad your still here.

curly boo to colds, man flu and crappy night sleeps. Hope everything gets back to normal for you soon x

Not much tome to write too much more but im lurking and will post when i next have a few free mins.

Love to you all xx

Just popped into say hope Cupcakes Jude had a wonderful christening day!

Waves to everyone else, been to Nans in worthing but will post properly in the week x x x x x

well I managed to catch up on half of page 1 before my gorgeous girl decided that she was being ignored She certainly got my attention later when driving back from my sisters which involved an emergency roadside nappy change, poo all the way up to her neck and a severe shortage of wipes. I have now developed a POO phobia and may never be able to change a nappy again

waves to lovely 4ever and happy Christening day to Jude x

barbie I think you are an amazing mum, I have had three bad nights and I am climbing the walls. We have an Angelcare too which is fantastic as otherwise I would be neurotically stalking my child at night . I don't think I'll be watching Eastenders. I worry enough

I'm still smiling at our bfps. I hope those with future bfps are doing okay too, I will catch up properly with you soon but big hugs in the meantime xxx

cupcake been thinking of you all today.

ushes out cos watching cr*p on tele

waves to curly and 4ever* x

cupcake hope it all went well today - I expect you're all shattered now!

mermaid me too - watching celebrity now and gillian mckeith isn't going to last very long I think...

Mmmmmorning, it is ffffreezing up here today, it was -2 when I got in the car, yes the car, to take Cjay to school this morning, it did warm up a bit by the time I got home, it was -1

Thanks so much ladies. yesterday was just gorgeous, jude was so well behaved & im a v proud mummy. proper update and pics coming soon! x

just went to loo to find pants wet with red blood have phoned EPU to see if they can fit me in tomorrow for scan and they say I need new referral from gp or I could go to A&E. Got both boys at home this afternoon as childminder not working and to top it all DS2 is sick and has puked in car. DH working at home but on conference call and I can't disturb. Am shaking, don't know what to do

Oh louey as soon as dh gets off the phone go to A&E, that's what I would do, else you're going to worry too much. How is the bleeding now?

DH came out and while we were deciding what to do EPU phoned back to say they would see me after all. Have appt at 12 tomorrow

Bleeding seems to have stopped but have strong cramps. Feel sick but I don't know how much of it is the likely immeninent tummy bug that I'm going to get from DS2.

louey oh god you poor woman.
I don't know if a&e would scan you this evening, maybe the best place is cosy at home.

Is there time to ring the surgery tonight to get the referal rolling for tomorrow?

Order pizza in for the boys tea, chuck their favourite dvd on.

Thinking of you.

I'm glad the bleeding has stopped,but if it starts again and/or the cramps get worse just go to A&E, even for peace of mind. I'm squeezing your hand right now and I hope DS2 gets better soon.

Much better calming advice from mermaid there
