Emmy's weebles are taking over mermaid's greenhouse!

[barbie1]

....therefore she cant throw us out!

Long may the support continue x

Just came on to give a massive hug to monkey I've been thinking of you and your family today xxx

Well we aren't vomiting any more and the water is working again!! I'm just back from a short trip to relatives with curlygirl. She was adorable playing peekaboo with grandad under the table :)

I'm sorry for always lurking but never catching up properly. I feel so behind at the moment in just about everything, but especially MN :( I'll be back soon

Mental note: must change my name - so last season

Well at least I've done one thing tonight :)

Morning ladies
Posting at work so can't do a big catch up but probably best to start from scratch after a couple of weeks awol anyway

Well E has really found his feet now and is running walking everywhere, seem to be getting a phonecall from nursery every week saying he's bumped himself, bless him he obviously follows me as I'm so accident prone We had our first experience of sick the other night, he woke about midnight and he and the cot were covered I'd rather clean up pooh! I definately don't want to repeat that again this lifetime!
We've got our referral through to see the ENT consultant about his recurring ear infections and failed hearing tests, so will be interested to see what they say. CC has definately been a big hit in our house, next is the tantrums, they've started with a vengence this week (didn't think they happened until they were at least 2 )
Barbie You must be very tired and poorly as you've not been able to post So not like you hun, take care and try and rest a little if Dolly will allow it!
Curly Glad to hear things are getting better in your household
Vjay Hope your appointment for ajay arrives quickly

Big waves to Neeko Blue Monkey QA Louey LBM Sabs Mermaidmissyoulots and everyone else I'm bound to have missed!

See I knew I'd forget people

4ever BQ and Cupcake please forgive me for not waving/mentioning you all
Buddha hangs head in shame and shuffles off to work!

I did a post earlier and it disappeared - gaaaah!!!!

Just on quickly to say had text from my sister to say that it hasn't worked, levels have gone down since yesterday. I am so so gutted for her I don't know whether they will be able to afford to try again - my parents paid for this cycle.

Will try and get back on and do proper personals.

Oh louey im really sorry for your sister I wish i had the spare money, i would gladly give it to help her....

Waves to you all, give back from soft play and dolly needs her dinner, will try to get back later to do a bigger post...

Thanks barbie I just feel so helpless . What did Dolly do yesterday that provoked your FB comment?

curly loving the new name Very glad you have water and are now vomit-free

vjay I can't believe ajay won't been seen before March!!! That's so rubbish. Can you ask for a cancellation slot and be seen any earlier? I am thinking I may ask for amazon vouchers for my birthday for the kindle. If I got my act together like clever blue I could sell some stuff on ebay and use the money from that but there isn't enough hours in the day at the moment.

buddha yay to a running E . I've got an accident prone one too so you have my sympathies. It will get better - I guess the nursery are just covering their backs. Glad your ENT appt has come through - hopefully they will find out what is going on.

waves to 4ever hope you are ok x

In other news, I am on antibiotics as a result of a urine infection. Nice. Hopefully they will kick in quickly. I am feeling a bit more normal apart from that! We are going out on Sat night for a belated birthday dinner for DH which I am really looking forward to - just need to work out where we are going. My fave restaurant is too hard to go to when pg as there is so much I can't eat.

Louey so sorry to hear it hasn't worked out this time for your sister, I bet the poor girl is gutted I'm the same I keep thinking of all the things I could sell on ebay and have got as far as writing a list but that's it! Note to self must get more organised and start a kindle fund too Hope you have a lovely meal wherever you decide to go on Saturday and the antibiotics kick in very soon
Barbie Hope you had fun at the soft play and dolly behaved herself

louey so sorry to hear about your sister

Both boys are in bed here, Ajay is asleep and Cjay is upset, he waved to a passing car today as he thought his teacher was in it but she wasn't and now he's all embaressed and keeps calling himself an idiot . When we got home he went straight to bed, and no cajoling from me is helping. Can't wait for dh to get home, Cjay always listens to him.

Laters xx

two hugs required:

louey - for your sister, what sad awful dissapointing news . I can't begin to know how she is feeling, IVF is such a long journey to get to this stage with the injections and egg colection not to mention hormone city of emotions but to have to get that call must just floor you. Was this her first attempt? I'm sure you will be a good support to her as you are a wise old young owl x

vjay - for cjay, wee man . You know what its like when you try and be a bit spontaneous and grown up at that age and it doesn't work, embarrassment can be a thousand fold in their eyes. Hope your DH can perk him up x

Back tomorro on my lunch hour ryvita lurk and post x

sorry louey your poor sister - your best support is probably just being there for her?

Evening ladies, a very quick post, as I want to share my hugs too, especially to louey and vjay and so sorry to monkey and 4ever that I havent been around.

Promise to come back real soon for a proper post. An update is long overdue!

xxx

Hi ladies, thanks for Cjays hugs, dh came home and told him a funny story about himself doing the same thing and it cheered him up , but now he's off school with a raging temp and has been sick now. Fun and games

Hiya sabs

it's often the way vjay when they are coming down with something that they get all het up about something especially when he probably tries so very hard to be perfect.

opps yes helllloooo my name is mermaid

merrrrrrrrmaiiiiiddddddd!!!!! lovely to see ya
we have missed you so much!

vjay hugs for your little man, bless him. My heart melted when i read your post, i hope he is much better now.

Nice to see you too sabs ive missed your posts, hope to speak soon...

louey in answer to your question re facebook status....here goes

*one box of tissues, ripped and used to decorate the living room

*one lipstick eaten, but not before being smeared over hands, face and floor

*dh cap was put down the toilet {grin]

• a plastic bag was put over the dogs head, well more forced into his ear as she tried to place over his head.

*a bag of potatoes where hidden over the lower floor of the villa, posted into little places only small hands can reach

and finally....

the nice load of white washing was taken off the airer and washed again, Devon sty lee......in the sand pit!!!

This is only a small selection of tricks my little monkey darling had been up too in the last 48 hours.

and then in a while there is nightclubs and boyfriends

mermaid you're back!!!!!! Can you tell we've missed you Hope you're ok

barbie Oh you have got a right one there.....No wonder you are knackered!!!!

vjay poor cjay - I agree with mermaid it probably got blown out of proportion if he was coming down with something. Isaac's behaviour always goes off when he is building up to being ill. Hope the poor little mite gets better soon. Puking = not fun.

blue ryvita - yuck yuck yuck

sabs lovely to see you - hope things are ok with you and Saara.

Thank you for the lovely wishes for my sister. I let her be yesterday but I will give her a call tonight and see how things are.

Had a nice afternoon with the boys walking through the (very muddy) woods to our local lido. Isaac very much wants to walk on his own but we can't let him do that very often as he runs away at any opportunity. Anyway, today he was very good in the woods and it was so nice. He is now however back to opening the shower door and climbing in (we have one in the utility room...) Tired boys. Hopefully they will sleep well tonight.

Hi all

Firstly, monkey I hope this week has passed as peacefully as possible and you are looking forward to a nice weekend. Hopefully this week will also mark the start of a new year for you, one that brings you everything you hope for

Barbie and at your DD, she sounds so funny. Perhaps all this means that while everyone else is battling with their 2 year olds, she will be serene and zen like A colonoscopy will be no fun but hopefully it will give you some answers. Well done for not Googling too!

louey the blooming phase will come, but it must be harder never getting a rest with your 2nd pregnancy. for your sister and you as I know it must be hard for you too, being pregnant and wanting her to share your happiness. Hope you enjoy your night out with Dh tomorrow and the infection clears up. Is it an outdoor Lido, hope it is heated!

Vjay Poor Cjay,it must be awful to see him feeling embarrassed like that and to top it off being poorly now. Its hard being a parent and seeing them get upset about things, we are just starting with the odd minor thing now, but it's amazing what a strong protective instinct that kicks in.He is so lucky to have you and your DH looking out for him though Sorry you are having to wait to so long for Ajays appointment, lets hope its worth the wait and you get someone who knows what they are talking about.

buddha Hope your DS is feeling better now, i agree, I would rather clean up poo than sick! Sounds like he is keeping the nursery on their toes. they will be wrapping him in bubble wrap soon If his hearing is slightly affected at the moment it could be affecting his balance slightly, however, it could also be that crazy bouncing off things walk that they have initially where they just see where they want to be and not what is in the way

curly Lol at so last season, I hope you are not actually wearing short shorts, you do realise it is still winter don't you?

mermaid I loved the way you tried to do a commando style roll back in to the greenhouse, attempting to go unnoticed with a simple reply back to vjay it is lovely to have you back

Weekend waves to 4ever neeko LBM sabs and Blue who I think is still at her desk eating ryvitas, or has keeled over with hunger as ryvitas are proven to be cardboard Tho I suppose you do have to suffer to look that good.

Busy weekend planned, going to bed soon as woke up tired this morning and don't feel like I have woken up properly all day. My turn for asleep in in the morning though

Thanks for your lovely words , and stealthly done mermaid

Cjay is still poorly, he woke up with a temp of 102 last night then when I was getting him some medicine Ajay was sick!!!

On that lovely note I need to go and tend to my boys.

PS barbie Dolly is fab

hi all im sorry ive not been on in a while .
ive been feeling much better atfer changing my meds twice,ive got occupational health next week then hope to be back at work soon ,

thankyou all for you support love you all lots.

do you remember me mentioning my sisters friend who lost baby at 8 months pg in car accident she is pg again about 16 weeks im so happy for her xxxxxx

right need to catch up xxxx

Vjay sorry that they are both your boys are poorly, it's hard enough with 1 ime. Hope they are starting to feel a bit better today.

MrsKate Great to hear that you are feeling much better and that you have found the right meds. Hopefully occupational health will help you plan a return to work that won't throw you in at the deep end. Make sure you plan a phased return and build up as gradually as they allow. Are you Ft or Pt at work? Lovely news about your sisters friend too

Very quiet on here this weekend, hope everyone is ok. I am now on the slow countdown to next weekend. We are away visiting family next weekend and flying, not sure if you can pack pregnancy tests??!

Ps have been wondering how ThePFJ and chocciechip have been getting on, if you're lurking let us know. especially as ThePfj and I were both on the October bus with MLS last year.

I was going to join the October bus, but it felt weird after being on it last year. It's just sad to be nearly a whole year on from getting my BFP last year.

I think those reminders sneak in and hurt a whole lot qa But the sap is rising the days are getting longer and brighter and that just means your bfp is getting closer and closer
Have a lovely time away.
