Emmsys weebling onwards and upwards into summer.

[VJay]

Here we are a new spruced up greenhouse

how are things with you vj? I hope going better x

Sorry curly I went to bed after the apprentice. I'm good thanks, looking forward to tomorrow and the start of the school hold

Hols!!

Goooood moooooorninggggg!! (obviously been listening to too much Fearne Cotton )
Fine day for some women's semi-finals I think...ds probably hates me right now as I keep making him watch tennis and also I cry at the end of every match, what's that about??

4ever lovely lady- having a scan so early can be both a blessing and a curse as many women on here know and there is often not an answer either way. But fab that the sonographer said she was hopeful. Don't worry about lack of symptoms- remember you're also not getting any 'bad' symptoms like bleeding or pain. Thinking of you for the treatment today; I remember last time your poor swollen arm :(
Take comfort from qa's words about her dates too - different bodies just work at different speeds as we know all too well on here!!

louey how was the screening? Hope you're not too exhausted, how are the nights so far with ds3? (Ooh first time I've called him ds3, exciting!!)

Is mrbarbie home now??

I haven't seen The Apprentice yet so shhhhhhh :)

Hi monkey, moon, vjay, curly and blue :)

Ahhh - what a week of wory for our lovely, lovely medium panted mummys.

barbie, so pleased that everything is OK - can we also write letters of compliant to your crap doctor. Please send us her name How dare she do that to our lovely barbie

4ever Like the others have said, you haven't gone through all this worry for nothing. Next week, a beating bean you will have - you will , you will, you will . And you'll have had the treatment, so it will be all lovely and protected.

Yes, louey still busy busy busy! Had a lovely sports day today for the dc's - nice weather, kids were rubbish as usual ( just as I like it so that I will never need to worry about early morning athlectics training )
BB has been just lovely - giggly and cute. Went to pick up the older dc's from school on her smart trike today - took a ridiculous amount of time as had to keep stopin as every one was telling me how cool the trike was!!

Hi girls, sorry i can't stop. I'm having some pain, well lots to be honest. I think the cyst has popped or twisted, no bleeding so holding out its just the cyst.

I am going to back to nice doc tomorrow if she can squeeze me in, we have to make sure the ovary isn't twisting.

I will post more tomorrow, thinking of you all x

barbie hope you're feeling better soon and that you get a good result tomorrow

I'm never saying that BB is lovely again. She woke at 1.30 last night and wouldn't go back to sleep. We are very tired.....

4ever think it was your treatment today - hope it went well and that your arm isn't too sore this time

barbie hope you are ok, keep us posted xx

4ever how have you got on today?

lbm I try not to say when Ajay has been good, because I'm always repaid with him being a horror

Ajay is 22 months old today

Happy 22month birthday Ajay Can hardly believe it.

Barbie Hope all is ok tomorrow. Thinking of you.

4ever hope the threatment went as planned and you're not wobbling too much. Happy anniversary on Thurs btw.

LBM You have my sympathy. That happens regularly here.

Cupcake are you gutted about Marray tonight?

I'm on holiday Both girls going away tomorrow and we're going out for my birthday (Mon) and our anniversary (Wed) followed by sleeping til I wake - bliss.

DH just made a cup of tea so I'm off.
Night all.

Hello girls.. Im exhausted after a 5am start and only 3hrs sleep. In town by 8am when DH gave his blood, then had to kill 6hrs til 2pm when his blood had been filtered to white cells by the lab ready for my injections, so we made a day of it and had a leisurely breakfast, a stroll round regents park (we strolled Summer chased birds and tried to hug random children!) Then we actually popped in portland where our orig doc was very sweet and apologetic and redeemed himself, then pizza express for lunch. All the while i was absolutely crappin myself as was told that unlike the previous agonising treatment where i had 4 injections under my skin in my arm, this dr does 15 injections under the skin in each arm

Thankfully its a smaller amount in each injection so not as horrifically painful as previously, however 30 injections in one go was pretty bloody sore to say the least.. Thankfully my arms arent too bad movement wise, as opposed to last time when it swelled massively and literally couldnt be touched, however i do need to keep then flat and have a damn good nights sleep.. Praying tiny bum bean reaps the benefits

X post lovely Neeko have a brilliant birthday on Monday and fabulous anniversary! Bless you remembering ours!

no appointments today, but my lovely doctor realized it was me trying to book in so text to see if i was ok and has me in first thing in the morning. Dolly has a high temp so im on Dolly watch, no time to chat sorry!

Back soon

barbie hope everything is ok tomorrow. Great to hear you have such a lovely doctor now

Hey Girls,

Just to pop in quickly to say everything was ok on scan this morning. Cyst still there, not changed at all Pain is still here, we seem to have decided its down to a poorly tummy, i cant be too far from a bathroom if you get my meaning. Dolly is really poorly the poor love, i slept in her room on a mattress on the floor last night, hopefully she sleeps a little better tonight. We are all knackered!

Promise to do personals soon. 4ever hope you are ok my lovely?

Just a quickie as this is the first chance I've had to get on since getting back from Exmouth -
Barbie thanks for the text, put my mind at ease and I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday Sorry to hear that you and Dolly are both poorly but glad you've had another good scan.
4everPinCushionArms Again thanks for the text, I hope we have all made you feel a bit better and a little more positive about your scan? Ouchey ouchey ouch that's one helluva lot of injections! But so worth it in the end
Vjay Very of you starting the holidays with your little people!
I will be back for a full update tomorrow or Tuesday

Hi a quick catch up

barbie hope you and Dolly feel better soon and get a good nights sleep tonight.

4ever been thinking of you, hope you're ok.

Buddha I was so excited picking up cjay on Friday, I couldn't wait to see his face as he came out of school and he didn't disappoint We've been for a bike ride today to buy water pistols, ajay got soaked and loved every minute of it

blue hope you're having a lovely holiday

neeko here's to the summer hols

Ttfn x

Hello all. Can now lurk on my new phone. Hope this works.

Hope barbie and 4ever ok.

Happy hols vjay

Hi Buddha

It works neeko ! Holidays - omg, not yet please, still not booked all the kids clubs

barbie great news - sorry cyst has realised that it's not welcome and could it please get lost, but at least your little bean is nice and cosy

4everpincushion (I love the name, buddha) Hope you're OK, lovely lady?

Sorry, ladies, dc's have had us up early and in the night too much recently and I need to go to bed. Last night, dh was up to give dd1 medicine, ds woke with a bad dream and came into our bed and dd2 woke up at 5.30 as blinking usual. BY 6am , we were all up and getting on with jobs.....

Nighty, nighty

hello all, just popped in to check on 4ever, you poor love, your arms must be aching with all those nasty jabs :( I smiled at gorgeous Summer hugging random kids though :) Hope you are feeling better. When is your scan hon?

barbie hope that you get some sleep tonight. Give dolly a great big kiss from all of us x

Vjayjay I wish I was on me summer hols. What are your plans? Who do you think will win the apprentice? Happy 22 month birthday to Ajay. when did he get so big? :)

cupcake still giggling at you crying at the end of tennis games Your dh must be glad that Wimbledon is finally over!!!

lbm I can sympathise with you. I don't think we've had a decent sleep in three weeks with teething and sickness. I bet babybelle is just gorgeous even after 3 hours sleep though :)

Happy birthday tomorrow neeko hope you have a lovely day and get spoilt rotten :)

Waves to buddha and everyone. Sorry for the lack of personals. Am really feeling tonight that I haven't done anything I meant to do this weekend (except the having fun bit - I got that covered )

Happy birthday to neeko! Hope your having a fabby time and enjoying playing with your new phone!

Curly lovely to see you, weekends are for having fun so dont worry bout the other stuff Hope you got a better nights sleep? Teething is no fun poor curlygirl Summer is teething her 9th tooth, back molar, ouch!

Barbie sorry to hear you have all been poorly, and that damn cyst still causing trouble.. As bean grows it should shrink.. Hope your not too wobbly?

Buddha thank you for your texts too and being generally lovely! Hope you had a lovely break and caught up on sleep? Bet you missed E like mad though? Any news on his ear apt?

Cupcake are you having tennis withdrawals today? Hope you too enjoyed a nice break.. Kiss to Jude!

Vjay another lovely image you created of Cjays face on the last day of school! I imagine it was something like this

LBM master juggler I can imagine school hols must just be non stop for you! Are you going anywhere nice or did Oz blow the budget?

Louey hows your new little man? Did the hospital sort out his jaundice?

Would love to hear about our bakingprinces entrance to the world too if you are lurking BQ?

Blue if you are lurking too from your sunlounger then hope your having a great time!

Monkey hope your ok lovely lady? Do you have any trips planned for some R n R pre treatment? Really hope we can all get together on the 6th still? Dh is off too footy so would love to get together with you girlys..

Moon how you doing my lovely? Surely your treatment plan apt must be near now?

Waves to the lurkers and MIA, really missing mermaid and still hoping that jools will come back soon with some great news..

Hopefully Ive remembered you all and gone some way to making up for my dire lack of personals of late

Thank you again for all your support, means so much to know your all thinking of us and sending positive thoughts.. Pretty wobbly and cant wait til weds scan, dont know what to think til then really

Happy birthday neeko

4ever you are spot on that was Cjays face

curly we have bits and bobs planned for the hols, dh is of the first two weeks and is taking cjay wild camping this week, inlaws are up next week, there's transformers and Harry potter to see plus the soft play the nas set up every monday and Wednesday ...... Well you did ask
As for the apprentice I'm thinking Helen?

Right need to get dressed

Ps mermaid always thinking of you, hope you're ok xxx

Morning! Thanks for the lovely birthday messages. Having a really nice time so far. The girls stayed away at the in-laws on Saturday night and DH and I had a lovely meal out with my bf and her dh, then we slept til we woke naturally yesterday which was a rare treat.

Loving having a phone I can lurk on. Struggling to work the blooming thing though, so don't think I'll be posting much from my holidays next week. At least the ability to lurk will satisfy the nosey cow in me- hate thinking I'm missing something

Today will be a stream of family visits (which I love) for birthday cake and cups of tea. Weather's still glorious here so all in all it's good to be 35. (Eek, how did that happen?)

LBM Your organisational skills never cease to amaze me.

Curly Family life can be a bit of a slog and a bit of a juggling act so if you're managing some fun in there then well done and don't apologise!

Vjay Sounds like a pretty good summer to me. Fingers crossed we have some more good weather.

Barbie How you feeling today? It's much harder 2nd time round, especially when your pfb is poorly. Hope you're ok.

4ever Ouch to the treatment but it'll be soo worth it. I also had a at Summer in the park.

Cupcake Thank goodness the tennis is over so you can get on with some housework!

Sabs Thanks for the text. Hope you feel up to coming back on here soon. I miss your nonsense.

Buddha Did the extra sleep help? My DH couldn't sleep last night cos he had so much sleep on Saturday! Never happy

Best go before H (nicknamed The Bulldozer by DH) wrecks anything else.

Happy independence day to you all

Greetings from Majorca

Lying by the pool while baby Ben sleeps and Isaac plays with his new pal Tom... We're all having a ball and my stress levels are having a good and overdue clearout.

Happy birthday Neeko. Did you get an I phone? I'm typing from mine it's fab if a bit temperamental. Hop you have a lovely day and yay to you and dh having some quality time

barbie glad all well with bean and hope you and dolly feel better soon x

4ever thinking of you ahead of wed and sending every positive thought, your injections sounded but worth it. Summer has a heart the size of London by the sounds of it

vjay hPpy hols is the weather still good over there? Bet cjay loves camping

Hey to everyone else, going to press post before I lose this. Will lurk and pop in on wed

Neeko Happy birthday sounds as if you have a lovely day planned, enjoy and save me some birthday cake please Love the nickname "Bulldozer"
Vjay Sounds wonderful today is my day off and we're having a lazy one normally we go to see my friend and her little boy but I couldn't face them squabbling with only 3 hours sleep under my belt! I think you are right about Helen too, I just hope it's not Melody!!
lbm Good luck with the kids clubs, I'm sure they can squeeze your little ones in!
Curley Having fun is the main thing so don't you worry about the other bits and bobs!
4ever You are sounding bright and cheery (hope it's not a front?) once again I have everything crossed for you and little bean for Wednesday. How are the arms today?
Barbie How are you and Dolly? Sorry I missed you on FB
Blue Chilling by the pool, reading books - I don't know anyone would think you were on holiday!!!??!!

Well seeing Ewan last Wednesday was brilliant, I got off the train and his little face was and I was greeted with hiya mummy but from that point on his behaviour went downhill he definately enjoys winding me up, his sleep became worse, he was throwing food and having trantrums (although these are starting to get less) Mum and Dad noticed the difference straight away, since then we've had terrible sleep (not that it's ever good) I'm trying to cope on a total of 4-5 hours per night and even that is interrupted, it really got to me at the weekend, I had a huge meltdown and today can't stop crying I don't know what's wrong with me I feel so stupid and don't really know where to turn to or who to talk to about it. I debated going back to the controlled crying but when he's pulling at his ears which he does all the time I can't bear to think I'm letting him cry without comfort when he's in pain. I just don't know what to do for the best

Quickie from me to wish our lovely neeko a Happy Birthday! Sounds like you are having a great time . Wish I was 35 again....

buddha there is nothing wrong with you, apart from the fact that you are knackered. I know I end up a teary wreck when I get too tired (and did so last week) but it will pass if you can sort the sleeping out. I don't have any pearls of wisdom I'm afraid but hopefully one of the others will be able to give you some advice about trying to improve things. It is very difficult when they are ill, as barbie knows all too well. All our kids play up their parents more than anyone else because they are the people they feel most secure with. It is not a reflection on you at all. Big {{{{{HUGS}}}} from me.

4ever ouchy on the number of injections. Deep breath, hang in there, we are all rooting for you. What time is your scan on Weds?

barbie I'm very glad things are still ok with barbiebean, hope the pain is easing. I know ovarian cysts can be very painful. Is Dolly any better?

blue need I say more . But seriously, I'm glad you are having a lovely time, you deserve it.

Right, I'm sorry, I know I've missed some of you. Will try and get back on later. I seem to have a million and one things to do, and that's in addition to feeding Oscar....
