Blinded by the LIGHTer ladies!

[Mouseface]

Hello

Welcome to our thread all about cake cheese and chcolate healthy eating. Well, on a good day!

I'm Mouse, I have the weight of a huge Camenburg to lose but have lost lots already thanks to the support of this thread and the lovely LIGHTer ladies!

No rules, no clique, just us!!

Come say hi

That's the trouble too - seperation anxiety. He'll onlt stay with me or MrM and hates to be even picked up by anyone else.

I really appreciate your offers of help. What time shall I bring him later for DP? What time does he don his magic 'Super Dad' cape? [hgrin]

Joking apart, thank you Brian. I know that you would all help if you could.

I just need a day or two of no puking so that I can get him back on track. xx

Oh *Mouse":(

Dubs - yes please. As long as it's smothered in kisses.

I love the fact that you need a Bronze Age pin! [hgrin] Fanbloomintastic.

You almost had a healthy lunch!!

Thanks desire xx

Dubs - can you chase your grant? Do you have any idea how long it's supposed to take?

And I lurve your Autumnal look. Very you. [hsmile]

JK on ITV2 right now has a guy with a huge tattoo on his head of a Union Jack. BNP fan??

It's quiet on here today.

I am off to Tesco to stock up on smoothies and soup. As once again it is 4 o'clock and I am yet to eat today.

5 Bean hidden veg chilli with crusty bread for dinner.

I have a headache.

Not surprised you have a headache Bitter, if I didn't eat before 4 o'clock I would end up with a headache that I am sure I would convince myself that it must be a brain tumour and I never, ever, ever exaggerate :) Eat woman Eat!!

It's OK desire, I know it's not a brain tumour!

We will be eating in an hour so I will hold on until then. I'd rather wait and have something nutritious than have a slice of toast then not want dinner, iyswim.

Bitter!!!!!! We have had this discussion before!!!

You must eat before 4pm. Even just a yoghurt, apple, slice of toast, crisps! ANYTHING!!

You'll waste away at this rate, you're tiny as it is!

so you're are not at all prone to exaggerating, desire - think you will get on well with Brian, with her ebola cold and all

mousey - I don't have direct experience of respite/SS etc (indirect experience with SS - called with permission of a stressed friend has been distinctly uninspiring...). But I have enough experience of SN world of my own and via the ladies on the SN board, to know that sadly those who shout most are most likely to get help, and that persevering past the first refusal can often be needed. I get the impression (possibly wrongly) that it isn't your style to seek out other parents to young children with special needs/disabiltites - which is fair enough - BUT I think it can be v. useful to have some contact with any remotely appropriate local support group to get the feel for what people usually can get, and how to work the local system (not in a bad way, but so that you don't reinvent the wheel iyswim). I appreciate that the MN SN board is chockful of ASD or language delay parents; so you don't feel much common ground in terms of Nemo's issues - BUT - there are some v. fiery ladies on there who never take no for an answer who could help you get more support. And of course there are other forums with a different balance of SN - such as special kids in the UK (unfortunately not all their boards are free now ).

Thanks TC. And yep, you're right re the meeting up with others parents of children with SN.

Nemo's nurse has just called me. I'd asked her about local SaLT for him as we'd not heard for a while and she is going to chase up to woman who is going to be Nemo's.

Anyway, she said there may be a local group for children with severe sensory feeding disorder, same as Nemo and that she'd look into it.

I'm just not great with new faces/places and journeys!!! As you all know! [hgrin]

But let's see what comes through. This is about Nemo, not my needs. Thanks for thinking of me.

Where is WIF by the way?

don't underestimate your needs as a carer Mousey. It's difficult, unglamourous, underrated by society as being a natural part of women's work, mothering etc. It's a bit like the oxygen mask on the aircraft analogy - sometimes you need to look after yourself first to look after others.

Yes, Brian's Ebollocksa cold will be the stuff of legends eh? [hwink]

Brian - you listening - what double really, really, really wants is a stone age pin - am sure you could mock one up in broach form

I'm back, and smoothied up to the gills.

Also bought some cheese and biscuits to tempt me in the evening. Mature cheddar with pickled onion and chives - lush.

OOOOoooo - Can I come to yours please Bitter? I love the sound of that cheese. Yum.

Where's WIF?

It's lush, they only do it near christmas. Totally moreish.

god i want that cheese

took mole upstairs about 3 and sang her to sleep on the bed. dp woke us both up at 5.20 when he got in

Am planning on bath later, and tiramusiuyiuyuyiyuyi cant spell.

where's wif?

bitter - you alright with me having a go on your dh?? I'll fool him with my rubber bal picture then turn up fat curvaceous

And you can all take your mean ebola comments and shove them up your arse!!!!
