boys are with the inlaws until we go to stay there for the weekend on Saturday. I have once again managed to book too much into the end of the week and have tripple booked for tomorrow all things that I really want to do, am going to try to rearragne one of the things for Friday and split the other 2 between morning and afternoon. ARRRHH why di I do it to myself??

blissa · 12/08/2009 19:41

Do they have to be done this week? Or is it because you can do them because you don't have the boys? I hope they are things you can enjoy

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 12/08/2009 19:44

that is just it, they are things I can do without the boys, Lunch in town with a friend ( who has replied to say thankfully she can do Friday) and coffee with 2 childless friends.

Thanks ladies, it is wierd isnt it, just getting things out helps with the irrational anxiety building up.

blissa · 12/08/2009 19:59

Oh they are nice things, enjoy yourself xx

blissa · 14/08/2009 14:58

Hi all, hope everyone is ok

We're to going on holiday! Off to Cornwall on Sunday, this will be our first holiday in 5 years. Been into town this morning to get some bits we needed and spent over £100. The dcs are really excited!

Just phoned the drs regarding my blood tests but there is nobody there after 1pm. I take it whatever results have come back were ok othermise I would have heard?

Hi Moose,

How u managing with DH away? Where has he gone to??

We were having a wee family night in tonight and it would have been good had my DH not came in smashed from watching the footy and kept drinking! Everyone had to go home as I was so embarassed I just burst into tears! I am so angry with him right now! He has gone to bed and now I am sitting here with pain in my chest as I am so upset! Argh! He just doesn;t know when to stop drinking! So bloody annoying!

Sorry to moan!

Are all the dc in bed now???

YommyMommy · 15/08/2009 23:57

Oh well, No one on

Going to bed, can;t keep my eyes open anymore!

DC have birthday party tomorrow so need to get some sleep to deal with the stress, lol!

Hi girls

We're all a bit down in the dumps here, the car is having problems so we are not going to get away tonight. It hasn't been running very well and yesterday dp decided it wouldn't make it towing a caravan to Cornwall, so he spent yesterday tinkering with it a couple of mechanic friends, it was running a bit better but this morning he found that the radiator is leaking. So he's taken it to have another look at it. Hopefully we'll get away next weekend.

The plan was to go down tonight and then drive back on saturday as my parents are having a party for their anniversary next sunday, then go back down for another week. Now we'll go after the party and stay 2 weeks solid. So we will get away, just not yet.

The dcs have taken it well, I wanted to take them to Chessington or Legoland tomorrow as some sort of compensation, but it's so bloody expensive. We'll take them for a day out somewhere, we can use fil's car.

blissa · 16/08/2009 14:50

I think it's St Merryn (sp?) we're going to moose, possibly near Padstow? It's a caravan site that dp always went to when he has a kid. How long is it now til your dh is back?

How are you feeling today yommy? I hope your dh has a sore head today . Seriously, I hope you've managed to sort things out between you. My dp used to dissappear off to the pub "for a pint" and come back plastered, used to be a very regular occurance. It caused a lot of rows between us but I'd say for the past 18 months or so it has been a lot better. Hope the party goes well

xx

YommyMommy · 16/08/2009 16:08

Morning Girls,

Blissa I am so sorry to hear about ur holiday! Thats a real shame, but in a way it will work out for the better if u get to go for two weeks??? Really hope u get the car sorted! Where did u go for ur day out today??

DH and I still not talking! Just so angry! Party went well with the boys! They had fun aand thats the main thing!

Hope u are all having a lovely day!

blissa · 16/08/2009 20:18

Hi Yommy

We're going to take the kids to Little Hampton tomorrow. It's a couple of hours drive but there is a beach and a small theme park that is much cheaper than Chessington! Sandcastles and then fish and chips, yum!

I don't blame you for being angry with your dp, but I do hope you sort things out soon. Glad the party went well xx

YommyMommy · 17/08/2009 07:58

Hope u all have a wonderful day today Blissa! Hope the weather is beter for u down there than it is for us!

Hi to everyone else!

Hope u are all well!

Thanks yommy
We have 2 weeks left here in Wales but can't believe how quickly they have gone!

blissa · 18/08/2009 20:02

Hi girls

Glad you had a good holiday morning. Nice to see you back.

Hope your ds's first day at nursery goes well Yommy. We still have a couple of weeks til they go back here. Have you sorted things out with your dh now?

Well we didn't make it to Little Hampton yesterday, in the end we didn't have enough money. We took the dcs to the Science Museum instead. They didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped, I thought it'd be more hands on than it was. We've been out with friends to a park today with a picnic. We went on the train which they all enjoyed. Dp has gone to Spain this evening on a job. He'll be back Saturday probably.

YommyMommy · 19/08/2009 14:27

Hi Girls,

Hope u are all well!

DS first day back went really well, he went in fine and when I went to pick him up he was still really happy! Even better than that he is still wanting to go back tomorrow! So its all good!

I am still not really speaking to DH, blissa. I am just so made with him! It not just what happened the other night, its other things too! Thats a shame about the science museum We have one near us too and its totally crap! Wouldn;t waste my money on taking the kids! lol!

I am in a bad mood at the moment as tax credits have managed to piss me off again! BIG TIME! I am going to have to have to call them again! I am going to write to the prime minister about this one! lol! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love to you all x x

candyfluff · 19/08/2009 17:22

hi all
yommy,greyskull,morning and blissa

how are we all today ?
its been so hot here today ,just chilled at home
played a bit of badmington with dd.
feeling really shakey today - think its my hormones im due on tomorrow and i know its gonna be very painful -last month was awful
i must be mad im cooking a roast dinner at the moment
chicken -yum

cbt going very well - for some strange and inexplicable reason i seemed to have all but stopped overbreathing
TOUCH WOOD IT STAYS THAT WAY
still fancy the pants of my therapist(sp) but he had a few points off last week for long fingernails ewwwwwwwww

blissa · 20/08/2009 14:44

Hi girls

Hope you're feeling happier today yommy. I'm still waiting to hear about our tax credits, they're a nightmare! The Science Museum is free, one of the main reasons we went! Although parking in that part of London is £3 an hour .

Great to hear about your breathing candy, lol about your therapists nails . It was hot here too yesterday, I admire you for cooking a roast in that heat- I only managaged salad!

We spent the afternoon at my friends yesterday and the dcs played in their paddling pool, they had a great time. I phoned the dr about my test results and so far the only results they have back are my INR and ATPT(or something like that). These are the same tests I had to have before the termination, and again have come back fine. But surely the Lupus test should have come back by now? I found the blood form I was given from the hospital back in January and it says about having Immunology tests done for Anticardiolipin Antibodies (do I google?), I'm not sure whether these have been done.

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 20/08/2009 20:21

Hey all,

Blissa = sounds like you had a good day yesterday at your friends, hope you get your test results soon!

Candy = really good that you have a handle on your breathing, definately a huge step forward. Hopefully your period won't be too painful

Yommy = so hope that you and your DH find peace together soon, is there anything that could break the stalemate of you not talking to each other?

Morning = hope you are enjoying Wales.

Had a good session on Wednesday, but it became clear just how complex all this stuff is, I am panicing and suffering reliving being attacked, and yet we are not in a position to fix that until we have built up my self esteem and self belief. Hey, hopefully I will get there. Anyway going away for the weekend, hope you all have a calm and non anxious weekend. x

blissa · 20/08/2009 20:44

Hi Greyskull, you sound a lot brighter

Glad your session went well yesterday. Where are you off to for the weekend?
