good on your for resetting counter pn, at least you can watch the totals grow and know it's absolutely genuine & feel v chuffed in a 'fresh start' kinda way. Yeah, boredom makes me wanna smoke too - think am having MORE lozenges at the mo, still on 2mg, but whatever it takes.
DH on day five and now cold turkey and having awful awful withdrawals. He went to bed at 9.30 tonight, poor soul Says the patches give him heart palpitations. At least he hasn't gone blind.(about 9 yrs ago, when we tried to give up, he stood at the bus stop shouting, 'Am going blind!)
am sure your dd will be fine, cc, but totally understand your fears seeing as you were so close to someone who was abused... really scary, my boys have stayed over at friends too where I didn't know the dad v well, but then I rarely do cos it's the women who all hang out together, meet for coffee etc. And I wonder if you'd be able to pick up any worrying traits even if you had met someone a few times?
We read so much about horrible cases but it's far far more likely that she'll have a fantastic time, or maybe feel a bit wobbly without you and need to be brought home anyway? That happened recently with Sam (nearly 8 yrs), he had to come home, missed us too much (!) tho his brother stayed.
Yes am a writer mamated, have p/t child care 3 school hrs a week & steal the odd extra day too, plus loads of night working (when I can force myself away from m'net/I'm a celebrity).
PN I made mistake of trying to train my boys far too early at 2.5 yrs, no way where they ready - wee everywhere, poos rolling out of their trouser legs in docs waiting room They were 'dry' (day and night simultaneously) at 3 yrs and 3 months, v late I know and did provoke snippy comments from playgroup leaders ('Did you know those twins aren't toilet trained yet?') but what the f* could I do?
Waited till dd seemed ready (she was 2.5 yrs), interested in potty/loo etc, fairly painless. ds's still ocassionally pee in pants due to chronic laziness.
btw cc I meant to say other day that it's OUTRAGEOUS what happened to you with dd 1's mmr jab and the supposed tonsilitis. We've had all immunisations - dd had her mmr booster 1 month ago and got blimmin impetigo in her arm.
best get on with some work, everyone asleep, even dh - bliss!!!!! (but no wine for me, am trying to cut down, what a bore......)
