Spacecadet has asked me to get everyone who was concerned about her know, that she was admitted to hospital last night. she is currently in MAU, where she will be for up 48 hours depending on how she responds to treatment. She had another chest x-ray and is on IV antibiotics and also a drip as she was dehydrated.She has asked me to say thankyou to everyone who was concerned about her.

Hi Spacecadet, I've just seen your post and your predicament, and hope to be able to help. I'm a nanny, and I've got the rest of this week off. I'm based in London, but thats not too far from Ely (I used to live near Cambridge so am a bit familiar with the area) and if you need a hand I'd be more than happy to come for a few days and take the kids out and do activities etc and whatever else you need to make sure you stay in bed or on the sofa? Unfortunately I'm only available til sunday, but if you would like a hand please let me know I'm more than happy to help.

Spacey

Bite her hand off...........not literally NannyK, honest.

nannyk · 10/01/2006 15:38

LOL Lady Sherlock.... actually I must be a bit sad, having a few days off and nothing better to do than troll MN and find poor ill people to go and help. If it stops me shopping, it must be a good thing. Seriously though, am more than happy to offer my services for a good cause. I don't drive, don't know if thats a problem. But I do cook well, and can keep kids amused for hours with dry pasta, string, paint and empty cereal boxes. Am 27, so fairly mature hahahaha, and know how to look after bubbas and teens after 8yrs experience and being the eldest of 5.
I hope that I can help albeit for a short time.

spacecadet · 10/01/2006 16:27

spacecadet · 10/01/2006 16:30

MarsOnLife · 10/01/2006 16:38

nannyk............ I love you!

What a wonderful woman you are. Where in London are you? I'm not looking to enlist your services here mind lol. Just if you are reasonably near you could take up a meal from me to spacey!.

MarsOnLife · 10/01/2006 16:39

it's only cos they miss you. With your complete lack of energy you're not the mummy that they know.

Try not to let it get to you honey.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 10/01/2006 16:40

Nice atmosphere he is creating in your house, ignore them all, SC go up the stairs and get into bed and stay there.

MESSAGE FOR DD1

YOUR MOTHER IS SO ILL SHE COULD HAVE DIED.

GROW UP FGS AND YES I KNOW I AM SHOUTING.

AT 14 YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER AND MORE THAN CAPABLE OF SHOWING YOUR MOTHER SOME RESPECT.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 10/01/2006 16:41

Sorry Spacey

spacecadet · 10/01/2006 16:41

she wants her bf over and wants him in her room, i said no way, he can come over but not unsupervised in her bedroom, she has just screamed abuse at me and stormed out of the room..sigh..i cant deal with it when i feel like this..i hate my dh, leaving me to look adter kids when im ill..

Gizmo · 10/01/2006 16:46

He is still at work is he? When does he get back?

This is not on, really Is your DD the sort of teenager who will go off and sulk and then come back with a grudging apology?

nannyk · 10/01/2006 16:49

Hi I have CAT'd you Spacey. I really feel for you, and hope to get myself over there tomorrow if needs be to help you

I know it must be difficult for your DD1, I have a 14yr old sister and Oh Boy Life is HARD at that age (if only they knew) so I am used to strops and emotional outbursts. But seriously if I was there your daughter would be expected to help and be polite and gracious about it. Jeez you're her mum and no matter how upsetting the situation she should think about you if only for long enough every hour to get you a tea or amuse the younger ones. Sorry to rant too, I just feel for you and all your family in this horribly difficult time. Email me back if you got my CAT and we can sort something asap.

nannyk · 10/01/2006 16:51

Mars on Life I'm in Fulham. My current employers are off in France skiing for a week and as I am not an extreme sports kinda gal I have just been doing nothing really. So am happy to be able to fill my time with something worthwhile.

spacecadet · 10/01/2006 16:53

gizmo, no she wont, shes stubborn, think rosie webster, corrie!.
nannyk, that would be great, i have emailed you a bit short and sweet but wanted to make sure i hjad the right email addy!

Mercy · 10/01/2006 16:54

What happened re the childminder across the road? Did dh contact her?

Do your older children have friends they can stay with for a night or two? Could you speak to the parents?

nannyk · 10/01/2006 17:00

Hi Spacey you did and I've replied. Sounds like your DD1 would get on perfectly with my lil sis!!!! Maybe they should be penpals and complain about how pants their lives are to each other? Bless.

spacecadet · 10/01/2006 17:02

lol nannyk!
mercy, shes not taking any children on at the moment.

nannyk · 10/01/2006 17:38

Haven't heard back from you Spacey so will assume it's tea time chez vous. I'll check my emails later, hope to hear back from you and that you're coping ok tonight.
