[Cupcake92]

New thread :)
I want to see lots of our old faces back!!
Come on girls!

Lulu does your ds still have naps in the day usually? Ds still has one most days, if he doesn't he is so difficult to keep up til bed time!

Glad he's feeling better cupcake, what a good boy speaking to the Drs!

My ds is stil poorly we have been up and down stairs since about 3am. I'm so so tired even with calpol and stripped off his temp is 39. He's never had such a high temp for so long.

No luck on a house yet. I'm still looking. I just don't know what on earth is going on with h though, he is in complete denial! He is even on about having even more children and I just don't know how to react any more.

Aw ur poor ds :( I hope his temp drops soon! Doesn't help when it's hot and sunny outside !

That's so strange of H :/ maybe he's doing it so u give up and just continue? I'm not sure :/ might be a tactic of his. Men usual are in denial tho.

I found a house today (finally!!) and its opposit the road I already live on it's perfect and 3 beds :) so ds1 and ds2 will share if I have a girl or ds2 and dc3 will share if it's a boy. I'm waiting on a call back to see if the landlord has accepted me for it.

I've completely come off my antidepressants but started to become really anxious and stressed like before :/ I'm worried that the doc will put me back on the antidepressants. :/

He got worse today even with calpol and being stripped off his temp was 38 at the lowest but usually around 39 something. He won't eat and is hardly drinking either. Took him to docs and they gave him a thorough check over and couldn't find any infection or anything, they said its viral.... As usual. I hate seeing him like this

Going to see how he goes the next day or so and if he's not getting better will take him to hospital for another opinion.

Cupcake that's wicked news about the house! Do they give a timeframe of when you will know?

Oh ducky doctors are rubbish that's always the excuse! It's viral
I hope he starts to feel better soon.

Tho I think things are going round. I've woken up feeling awful. Like a bad cold but coughing is very painful for my chest.

And no they gave me no timeframe, just said they are waiting on the landlord to call them back then they will call me go let me know. I hope I get it! It's got a lovely big garden. And a garage to shove all my junk in

How exciting cupcake! Fingers crossed you hear quickly!

He's bad again today. Been up since 2am after hourly wake ups. Ended up calling 111 and at 4am they wanted me to drive to the other side of the city to see a dr but I just couldn't do it, I was so tired I thought it would be too dangerous. They told me they send an e mail to my dr saying ds needs to be seen at the hospital this morning but I have just called the Drs and they're saying I have to go in to them first. I think they're going to say they won't refer me, if that happens in going to have to go to a&e poor ds is so tired but just can't sleep. Just wish I could make it go away.

He won't be put down at all and won't eat/drink much.

They said I need a guarantor! So now waiting for call tomorrow to check all is okay with that!

Oh ducky bless him :( I'd go and demand him to be referred and seen at hospital. Can't be nice for poor ds :(
What happened today? Did u go to the doctors? How's he feeling?

I'm 5 weeks today. And have had really bad heartburn most of the day :( I'm in agony!

Have you sorted a guarantor?

Oooh I hate heartburn I get it so bad when pregnant! I was prescribed gaviscon pretty early on this time.

Went to the Drs and kept saying I wanted a referral to the hospital and they kept saying no they won't as they have checked him and he is fine. I told them I bet I end up and a&e and they said if I did that I would be wasting their time as it wasn't an accident or emergency.

In the evening he got worse, he was screeching non stop, literally dripping with sweat and shaking, he wanted to be picked up but didn't want to be touched at all. I went to a&e.

They found out he has quite bad tonsillitis, apparently his tonsils have swelled (is that a word? ) right up so its no wonder he couldn't eat. They gave him anti biotics and more numbing sprays and told me to keep him on calpol or nurofen for the temperatures.

When we got home I gave him his meds and I couldn't believe the change in him. For the first time in 3 days he ate food and was asking for more. He had another bad night but it won't work straight away then he got up and had 3 bowls of porridge!!

I'm pretty pissed at the GP though, I kept saying to him that ds was repeatedly grabbing his throat and the GP looked in his mouth and said everything was fine.

Oh I am so glad ds has done meds that are actually making him better!!

Now as for the gp, u should seriously be making a complaint!
All his a&e trip will be on his file so u need to make a complaint. Because if a doctor is missing something as obvious as tonsillitis then God knows what else he could be missing from other patients! Life treating things maybe? I'd Deffo complain!
Poor ds :( im glad he's feeling a bit more like himself.

I'm going to the chemist today to get some heartburn things I was in agony last night!!

That was the same GP who told me he had a cold and I was overreacting when infact he had bronch and the hospital said he wouldn't have made it through the night! And he told me he just had gastro for weeks when he had milk allergy. I kept trying to correct him and he'd get snappy. He's an idiot!

How's ds1 doing with his potty training now?

Eugh what an awful GP ducky!!

How's ds feeling today?

Ds1 is fully potty trained for a while now. He takes himself off to the toilet, then all I get is 'mum!!! I've finished!!'

I've got a big big interview for a job at the hospital tomorrow and I'm so so nervous !

That's great of ds! How long did it take in the end? I'm a bit confused on how to do it all.

Oh how exciting! Good luck for tomorrow really hope you get it.

Did you hear back from the house?

I started to write a complaint to the GP practice secretary but stopped because I was worried that it may affect the care we get

Ds still isn't right but today we have seen a huge improvement on how he has been. For the first time in a week he has eaten breakfast, a couple of small snacks and most of his dinner. We couldn't get him eating at all before so it's good.

Bit worried though, he had the anti biotics from the hospital, the doctor there said to give him them morning, noon and night, so that's what I had been doing since Tuesday. I noticed this morning on the bottle in really small writing it says give it 4 times a day started that from today, just hope it doesn't affect them working.

Hope you get the job Cupcake. What is it? Really good luck tomorrow.

DS, who should be in bed but woke up an hour ago and is sitting next to DH on the sofa, is chattering away to himself saying 'Tit-tit, tit-tit, tit-tit, tit-tit' No idea what he is on about. DH is chuckling away and repeating it which is making DS giggle and say it more. pathetic dad role model

Ducky took him about a week in the end. But all I can say is Deffo just wait till they are ready to do it. Like when they start telling u when they have soild their nappy.

Oh i give up on letting agents the sly buggars!!! I called asking a women to speak to the person who was dealing with us and the house, she said she's not in and will be bs l tomorrow can I help? So I asked if she knew if the guarantors were okay and then she told me... 'Um I'm not quite sure what u are on about as your not the person who has let the house. We let it to a different party last night.'
Safe to say I kicked off and I don't think I'll be able to let a house from them any time soon

Ducky what antibiotics is ds on?

Thanks lulu , it's for a HCA with the opportunity to train to take blood! :)
Lol!'
Oo sounds like ds is too energetic to sleep hour he slept for u lulu!

How did it go cupcake?

That's rubbish of the estate agents

I can't remember the name, it's a long name beginning with p, it doesn't say penecillin but the nurse said it was.... That makes sense to you!

He's definitely feeling much better. Still not eating much and very very tired tho, he missed out on a lot of sleep the past few days!

Went really well !! :) I find out tomorrow if I've got it or not! But the nurse who interviewed me said I had an amazing interview.

And I've no idea what antibiotic begins with P lol cephalexin is usually the one they give for tonsillitis. I have to have erythromycin as I'm allergic to penicillin :(
Aw bless him! I'm glad he's starting to feel better now :) hopefully this time next week he'll be himself again.

How did it go Cupcake- did you get good news about the job?

DH finished work today. Hurrah! He is asleep on a sun lounger in the gaden after a can of beer!

Just checking for a job update

Still waiting to bloody hear :/

Driving me insane!!

It is so hot tonight!

DS is asleep in his nappy with an elctric fan on in the room. No covers.

DH and I are lying naked, 6 inches apart because he radiates heat, two electric fans, all the bedroom windows open. No bedding except bottom sheet and we have had a cold shower. Same as last night but hotter I think.
Awful.

Lulu ds1's room was reading 30degrees all night almost!
It was awful! None of the kids slept due to being far too hot. Had the windows open, fan on full blast and nothing was cooling them or me down.

I'm hoping tonight is cooler!

We have had thunder and lightening and a downpour for about 15 mins this morning. It has cooled everything down but is sunny again now.

DS had waily tantrum because we wouldn't let him in the garden in the storm. Yesterday it was because I stopped him licking a snail he had found out there.

Tonight the wailing was because he wanted DH to sleep in his cot with him DH 6ft 1 and 14 stone.

We also had a bit of a tantrum because he wanted one of the sausages on DH's plate at tea, not the one on his plate. Dh swopped the sausage and swopped it back and DS ate it happily!

Oh a downpour sounds lovely right now lulu!
Thankfully it's cooler this morning and was cooler last night also so the DC's slept well.

Ur ds may have known snails are a delicacy and wanted to try them and as for the sausage senario, I've had that many times with ds1 bless him.

Well I called up about the job yesterday and they apologised and said they are a bit delayed but I should hear back today. So I'll be sat staring at my phone all day again

Can i ask did any of u do a Chinese gender perdition and it was right?

I did one for both ds's and it was right and I did one for this baby and it says girl. I hope it's right! But can't get my hopes up

I GOT THE JOB!!! WOO!!!

Fantastic! Congratulations Cupcake, that is great. Really pleased for you. When do you start? 🌟
