vjay poor little cjay. I would honestly kill anyone who hurt my pfb (although i realize i might need to nip that in the bud as school starts) Girls can be little bi*es, although that doesn't excuse their behavior. I would defiantly have a word with his teacher, maybe he could move tables where there are boys and girls to even things out a little? Make sure you buy him some cools pens and stuff so that the girls are immensely jealous and ask him for them, then he can just stick out his tongue and say NO!!! Grin
Im sorry, im trying to make you smile. PLease don't go blaming yourself though, i know you have a tendency to do so.

waves to blue Ive been looking at your fb pics of the boys to see how boys should be dressing! Grin

VJay · 02/09/2011 17:15

Thanks blue and barbie I have just spoken to dh and he agrees with you, it's probably not bullying just being mean but to pop into see his teacher Monday and see if he can switch tables. Why do these things happen on a Friday??? barbie you did me smile thankyou, I've given him some doctor who pencils and rubbers and a ruler and he seems much happier.

Vjay I would kick the fucing little cow's arse. I would honestly have to control myself if any other kid upset my girls like that. It's so mean & yes I'd class it as the start to bullying & it's intimidation. Good idea from Barbie* to go & buy him some cool stuff. Tell the teachers & then find out where these girls live & go & knee-cap them! Grin

Blue go on Wink you know you want to! Grin

VJay · 02/09/2011 18:06

blue meant to say we've not had the chat with him yet but plan to do it soon.

VJay · 02/09/2011 18:08

mls I know it makes you feel so strongly, it was all I could do to not cry myself as he sat there with tears streaming down his face. Will see what he's teacher says.

I spent ages writing a huge post this morning and then the internet went down just as I tried to post. Gahhhhh!!! Going to try and recreate it....

vjay so glad your littlest boy liked his garage. I bet cjay "helped" him open the other presents when he got home from school Smile. What did you do about the cake in the end? Must be a right PITA trying to find a nut free one. Poor cjay having to deal with those mean girls. I agree with having words with his teacher. She may even be able to stop all the shenanigans without moving him.

mls sooo excited that you're on the small pants bench (and a teensy bit jealous). Hope DD2's lump on her neck goes down, sounds like you have been really messed around with appointments - damn consultants and their summer holidays Angry I hope you get some answers soon.

barbie yay a boy!! Boys are fabby and just think you will have a whole new reason to go shopping Grin. I'm really sorry to hear about your palpitations - do they know what's causing them?? You've had a lot of stress recently with the on-off move and being pg too. Are you any nearer to knowing what's going on? Try and stay out of trouble whilst DH is away!!

4ever I'm sorry September is tuning out to be such a rotten month with so many anniversaries and days you want to forget. Has AF turned up yet? Really hope you have a lovely holiday and bring back a bfp. When are you off?

cupcake your holiday sounded idyllic Smile and glad you and DH got some quality time together without DS. How fab that you are going to have a babysitter on tap soon Smile

Neeko so pleased your DD1 has settled into school. I'm guessing things are v hectic with you, back to school for both of you.

blue your big boy looked so fine on his first day of school Smile. It must help knowing some of the other kids. I am a bit worried about Luke because he doesn't know anyone starting reception as he didn't go to the school nursery. Isaac is not quite in the same boat because the other kids in the unit come from all over the place.

Monkey your summer holiday pics are lovely. Sorry that AF is messing you around - have my fingers crossed that it won't affect your IVF start date. My 2 haven't started school yet, Isaac starts on Tuesday and Luke a week later. Their schools are 6 miles apart, which doesn't sound a lot but in rush hour I need to leave at least 45 mins to get to isaac's school from home Shock.

Strawberry surely blackberries need to be made into a crumble
. Not heard of bramble vodka before, sounds erm interesting Grin

LBM your summer sounded manic!! Did you manage to get any rest in amongst all the packing/unpacking and travelling? What are you planning on doing next year for holidays? We had planned on going to Florida at Easter but I've had a look at flights and they're either all booked or extortionate (£1300 each!!!) so we're back to square one. Love the poo story from BB, god they can make a mess can't they!

moon hugs my love, just post when you want and remember we are all here when you want to talk x

buddha oh poor little E - that operation can't come soon enough. Hope he feels better soon.

Sabs glad you're ok, I know its hard still missing your much loved granddad but take comfort in the fact that you have lots of family around you. Lucky you having an iPad - you won't be able to put it down soon Wink

curly boo to the bfn and AF turning up, fingers crossed this month it's a bfp. How is curlygirl doing?

Gracie how are you feeling?? Hope your DH's revision is going ok. My DH was like a bear with a sore head before exams.

QA nearly there - hope you are managing to get a bit of rest.

BQ I know we've chatted on FB but hope you are getting some longer stretches of sleep from your little boy.

mrskate so glad that Jack is settling into nursery ok. Are you going back to work?

Right, must post this - bath time looms...will try and get back on later to update with my news. Its been a manic couple of weeks.

VJay · 02/09/2011 18:16

Louey I made him a chocolate number two in the end and he loved it, i caught him in the fridge earlier eating it Shock and yes cjay enjoyed helping him open all his pressies Grin

OP posts:
cupcakefairy · 02/09/2011 22:36

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 02/09/2011 23:03

Haha just read the second post down and got to the bit about vj making a chocolate "number 2" and can't stop giggling GrinGrinGrin yeah I know I'm immature but it's funny Blush

So it's late, I'm on my phone and I can see I've a lot to catch up on!! I've got a date with xfactor tomorrow (will u join me cupcake?!!) and I'll be back on to catch up with all you lovely ladies.

In the meantime big hugs to moon xxx

loueytb3 · 03/09/2011 07:32

Morning barbie Smile

O is having a little play post feed before we both go back to bed so I thought I would try and catch up.

Its been a manic couple of weeks, our childminder has been on holiday so I've been flying solo with all 3 kids for a few days and then DH has been on holiday so we've been out almost every day (as those of you on FB will know). Isaac has been a nightmare which may be down to the change in routine and possibly because his occupational therapy finished 3 weeks ago (it calmed him down). He's doing things he had all but stopped doing. Yesterday afternoon he was constantly opening/shutting the washing machine door. We had to lock shut and remove the keys to all the back doors because he kept playing with them. He can't be left for a second. I am really hoping that starting school improves things.

We only found out on Thursday what was happening with his transport after many phone calls from me. He is being picked up at 7.30am - going to be a challenge to get him out of the door by then.

Oscar has been a little poppet. I was really worried about his lack of smiles but he finally decided to smile bang on 8 weeks corrected age. I can get some beauties now Smile. He is sleeping a lot still and will go from 11-7ish most nights although he usually wakes once or twice before then.

I am feeling so fat and I'm looking forward to Monday when DH goes back to work and my health kick starts. Although I've been running 2-3 times a week, too much wine is being consumed because he's off work Blush I've got 8 weeks until we go to Lanzarote and I need to lose at least a stone. I'm thinking of doing a 10k race in 3 weeks time, I've managed to run for 50 mins already so I think it's feasible, even if I will be very slow.

Right, better go - can hear the older two causing mayhem upstairs....

thestrawberrythief · 03/09/2011 08:39

vjay poor cjay, and so glad he has told you. good that you all have the weekend, for cjy to escape the pressure and for you to think about how to go in and have a little mention to the teacher. Best to flag it now before it can spiral.
Reckon we have to sort of built them a mental tool kit for coping with stuff like this and for cjay that is especially important.

mls am awarding my first ever Biscuit

thestrawberrythief · 03/09/2011 09:04

and while I am at it another Biscuit for the insensitive list.
Stomps off to take it out on a floor sander and to examine my own mental tool box.

4everhopeful · 03/09/2011 09:39

Vjay bloody horrible to hear about the nasty little girls makin Cjay feel like crap, think a table move sounds like the way too go, girls can be so clicky, sure he could do with a boy to banter with... must of broken your heart...

Louey fantastic to hear O is smiling now! Sorry to hear you're having worries with I though, when will his occ health therapy start again?

Strawberry isn't on the list, that can't be right, she owns this greenhouse! Know the list can be a sore subject sometimes, knowing i should be on wearing medium pants, is, well, pants actually... Strawberry where would you like to be? Still small pants? No pants? You're still a mummy to your beautiful boy so you could be in saggy pants too... x

AF arrived yesterday with a horrible bunch of mixed emotions Sad Angry Confused Smile Sad Hmm
Being honest with you id totally let my head run away that i might be pregnant again, as you all sadly know, after a miscarriage, you just ache to have a baby inside you again, so as soon as the thought i could actually be pregnant entered my head again, my brain and emotions. went into overdrive... That meant when Af arrived last night I felt a double whammy of disappointment, firstly that I wasn't pregnant again, secondly, and mainly, that I'm not still pregnant.. Sad

Of course sensibly I know its good to get an AF out the way before i fall pregnant again, and that this way i can enjoy my holiday, have lots of fun running round with Summer on her first holiday, and enjoy a few drinks, which i obviously couldn't do pregnant, and hopefully I'll continue my pattern of ovulating late so we have the chance of making another baby while we're there...
Nonetheless, still crappy to have AF again when its not been here since May, 10 days before Summers birthday in fact, and knowing that actually I should have a nice little 15wk old bump instead... Sad
Lots of cuddling of my beautiful darling Summer and counting blessings for my little miracle to be done now, plus lots of tlc and hugs from DDDH...

4everhopeful · 03/09/2011 09:43

X post strawberry - knew the list would envoke a response befitting a Biscuit - big hug x

cupcakefairy · 03/09/2011 11:09

Curly sadly i'll be in a car during x factor! will have it recorded to catch up on, plus a wk of big brother Blush

as for that list we should just keep it as due dates & birthdays of graduates for the sake of remembering dates. just too blummin unfair that some of us are back for round 2 when others havent had a turn. (but not having a go at barbie at all for doing it so pls dont feel guilty)

strawb my mental toolkit includes a spade to dig myself into a big hole Hmm

barbie1 · 03/09/2011 12:30

Biscuit's all round i see Hmm
Move the list, delete the list..up to you. Was just trying to do my best. I just cut and pasted it from ^ up there. sorry for offending.

VJay · 03/09/2011 14:12

Brew and Biscuit all round.

curly I didn't see that, a chocolate number two does not sound yummy Grin

4ever aaaarrgghh to af and I was the same as you when I lost my two, clinging on to that hope that I may still be pg, thataybe there was a twin.... Anyway like you say you can get on with your hops now and I know you'll have a wonderful time, you and your dh deserve it so much Smile
And I will post pics of ajay but I need someone to show me how to on an iPhone, I'm clueless!

strawberry hugs my lovely, and I hope there's some floor left!

barbie hugs to you too

Cjay seems a lot happier today, I told him again that he has his own pencils now and that to just ignore the girl when she's mean, and he smiled at me and said 'your my best mum' Smile and heartmelt, but who's his other mum, the not so best one Hmm Grin

BlueMoon1981 · 03/09/2011 14:22

barbie speaking as the only one who isnt a mum, the list doesnt offend me. I cry with or without a list, its just words. It is nice to see the graduates though, gives me hope.

cupcakefairy · 03/09/2011 15:41

Feel like me saying its unfair reads a bit wrong Confused wasnt at all having a go at those pg/ttc/leaning on sm pants bench (me)..just as usual expressing bittersweetness of our thread.

louey yay for those smiles!

4ever boo to af but here's to enjoying hops & a fresh start x

bakingqueen · 03/09/2011 15:44

Hello all sorry am rubbish at keeping up.
4ever - big hugs to you brave lady enjoy your holiday.
Barbie - boys are brill fun well the little bit I have had with Luca hope the palpatations stop and your move back to UK goes well
Moon - big hugs to you too i never thought I would make it to the graduates list but look at me now sat looking at my gorgeous sleeping boy.
louey - hello we seem to keep catchinhg each other on FB hope Oscar is ok we are getting more sleep now bed at 9 feed at midnight then one feed at 4 which lasts him till 8
Gracie -congratulations how exciting another bfp
Vjay - hope things improve next week at school

Sorry if catch up is rubbish but Luca due to wake up any minute and need to put some more washing in the machine before he wakes!!
If the list is updated put me back into small pants not to upset anyone but we are trying again for another baby. I know Luca is only new but as it took us 5 years to get him I dont want to wait before we try again.

Love to you all

4everhopeful · 03/09/2011 15:53

Thanks for that Vjay - just wanted someone to acknowledge and understand that the first. Af after miscarriage is really heartbreaking and sad tbh.. Just feels so unfair. First thing i wanted to do this morning was post on here cos I was on such an emotional headf*....

Really thought i might of conceived again already, cos knew i ovulated nearly 2wks ago as had such bad ovulation pains, my SIL fell pregnant with my youngest niece straight after a miscarriage, with no AF in between so know it happens.. Just shit to have to dust off my tampax when i should be dusting off my maternity clothes Sad

Thanks again for your post though Vjay - you're a sweetheart... Thankfully my DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD and DDDDDDDDDDDH are giving me loads of tlc or i would be in a lot worse a state right now Confused

4everhopeful · 03/09/2011 15:57

Chose a bit of a bad day to pour my heart out and request tea and sympathy methinks.. heartaches been somewhat lost amongst the Biscuit

VJay · 03/09/2011 16:02

Awww babes it's not lost on me or the others I'm sure.
