Oh and barbie you are doing really well, you are following your insticnts and from reading your posts you sound like a natural, only take what advice you want from these books and discard the rest

achhh ignore - feeling cos spent birthday evening at emergency vets, I sure know how to party.
cat had been poorly all week and plummeted yesterday. rushed him in, he has a tumour and its cats curtain time. I am waiting for the call from the vet now, am just ridiculously upset. ds is beside himself as he was out at skate night and not here for him. I can't ask the vet to keep poor cat alive until after school that would be too cruel.
The circle of life and death eh? we came home watched single married other which put the icing on the cake, ate cake and cried lots

barbie1 · 30/03/2010 10:50

ThePFJ · 30/03/2010 12:51

mermaid - I am so sorry about your cat, I had my cat put down a little while ago, he had been with me since he was a kitten. I was in pieces. I found it helped to put a picture of him up on the mantlepiece so I didn't feel like he was completely gone.

Hugs xxx

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 13:08

Mermaid I'm sorry about your cat.

I've had a text from Monkey, things aren't sounding good. She's had the CVS test done and is now resting. She gets the results at the end of the week. She says she isn't holding out much hope as the scan didn'tlook good. Poor Monkey - lie just isn't fair is it!!

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 13:11

Barbie I'm pleased I managed to reassure you. Routines are just one way of doing things, they work for some and not others.

I can't stop thinking about Monkey its just rubbish isn't it.

Barbie if you send an email to [email protected] I will send you all the numbers I have.

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 14:39

Sabs1981 · 30/03/2010 15:24

Another congrats to neeko and family on neekogirl I texted neeko as well to say congrats and she wanted to know who won the sweepstake!

mermaid so sorry to hear about your cat And please don't leave us A bit confused about your last post

monkey if you're lurking, here's a hand to hold. Life is so unfair sometimes

louey good luck with sorting out the childcare arrangements but good to hear the search is going well

iggy is the place you're going for a second viewing online? Post the link so that we can all have a nosy!

barbie checking on Devon like that is not silly at all. I'm always waking up in the night to check on Saara. We sleep at the end/bottom of our bed so we can be closer to Saara as the cot is there And with routines, I know I said yesterday I thought we had it cracked, but Saara woke up again last night. I do get gasps from people in RL when I say I'm not trying for a 7am-7pm routine, but I'm trying to do a routine which fits our lifestyle, even if it isnt the "norm".

vjay is the snow settling? I'm taking Saara into work on the bus tomorrow and heavy rain is forecast here tomorrow. Thats going to be fun!

pfj I am so sorry I forgot you in my post yesterday Hope you're back again soon

kate at Jack being 3 weeks already!Hope you're both doing well

gg I'm also lurking for news from mls Will try to text you if I'm still on here and hear anything

Found out about a buggy fit class starting soon near me. Really need to stop eating chocolate. I'm sure when I go to work tomorrow there'll be comments about my weight

Sabs1981 · 30/03/2010 15:25

mermaidspurse · 30/03/2010 18:03

Gerty of course perfect. out of those pjs yet lovely?

GracieGirl · 30/03/2010 18:14

Or Esmerelda????

Yes Isabelle vomited on my PJs so I had to get dressed!!!!

The little madam also managed to poo out of the sides of her nappy and fill her tights all the way to her toes!!! Not very ladylike at all!!! That will teach me to attempt outfits involving tights on a 7 week old baby!!!!

MummyLovesSadie · 30/03/2010 18:25

Hello lovely ladies. I'll be brief, the scan went well, they have put me forward by nearly a week to 13 weeks today which means this lo is due the day after dd's birthday. I've not stopped thinking about Monkey all day, I feel so sad for what is going on so I'm not going to go on about my scan.

Monkey I'm hoping & praying so hard for a good outcome for you. I'm not moving away from medium pants because I want to stay with you to hold your hand & keep you company.
