Yes, it was me!! Dd's nearly 26 months. How old's yours?

bluemoon · 06/12/2004 21:43

Ooh, and CONGRATULATIONS on 1000 fags not smoked!! I gave up on my counter after my little slip a few weeks ago. I guess I'm on about 450 not smoked now.

mammya · 06/12/2004 21:53

my dd will be 4 in February. But what I meant to ask is how is your dd's cough? hope she's feeling better.

bluemoon · 06/12/2004 22:04

Gosh, sorry, I don't know how I read an 'old' in your sentence that's so clearly not there! I hallucinated it through a haze of imaginary cigarette smoke ... sigh ...

She's still coughing. It IS better than it was but she's still having a couple of bad coughing fits in the night, she's barely eating still and seems rather run down in general. I do think we're turning the corner, it's just very slow.

Thanks for asking! Smile

merryminkmama · 06/12/2004 22:32

hi girls,

BM, dh sent off the oil this morning so with any luck you'll receive it tomorrow a.m. Don't worry about the money - i didn't intend for you to pay for it when i said i'd make one for her...just worried about her cough is all! if you end up liking it, i make all sorts for any problems (physical, mental and emotional) so if you fancy buying any later on, just let me know!

fp - i know exactly what you mean re: we will do it tomorrow...fat chance eh? i think they secretly play on this cos they know we'll end up doing it anyway Angry! Thanks for the order, will sort it out asap Smile

well done mammya on the 1000!!! like bm i don't even look anymore cos it's way down there after re-setting Sad

welcome flumberry! hope we can help you - the girls here really help me through this pain in the a* fight!

fg - i miss my parents so much, but esp when i think about how dh and i used to have a night alone whilst ds1 stayed with them! before they left we left both the boys with them for 2 nights and waltzed off to a posh country hotel in Ro & Marcus fashion (but more fun!) and now they have DESERTED US!!!!

merryminkmama · 06/12/2004 22:32

mmm, colourful post that.

Festivepussy · 06/12/2004 22:43

Awww Mink, But think, when you take the boys over to them, not only will you have free babysitting but youll be in Thailand.....surely better scenery than here in the UK?
Got to see the good points...
BM that thread...no wonder you changed your name...its like the thread of MN...and BTW I read it as how old is your dd tooBlush

Festivepussy · 06/12/2004 22:45

merryminkmama · 06/12/2004 22:51

fionagib · 07/12/2004 10:29

1,000 fags not smoked, that's amazing mammya!

Welcome flump - me too, can whizz up from zero to 20 a day in a blink. Am 5 weeks off now I think. If you don't get on well with patches (made my skin itchy and bumpy and sore, also felt weird) maybe try lozenges? Bit like a sweet but, er, not as nice??

poor mm, must be horrible them being so far away -you gonna brave a trip over to thaliand with the boys sometime?? Or would that be a bridge too far with two wee ones?

Have got to a weird stage where I HARDLY THINK ABOUT FAGS..... long may it blimmin last...

merryminkmama · 07/12/2004 11:23

well done fg, is that because it's so cold up there your senses are frozen?!! it's freezing here...i still can't believe you even think about running!!!

merryminkmama · 07/12/2004 11:25

sorry, forgot to add that i've actually braved a trip already with ds1 just before he turned 1yr and we went during november which is fairly comfortable (25C ish) but with his eczema it was a nightmare! plus he decided not to eat anything but biscuits for 2 weeks. we're thinking of doing it again next nov. when ds2 will be much older as the 13hr flight is the hardest bit!!!

merryminkmama · 07/12/2004 11:25

plus my mum's house will be ready and comfy by then...

Festivepussy · 07/12/2004 11:27

OMG 13 hours......thats er half a day...can you do it overnight so you sleep a wee bit?
Have just mailed you for another invoice as the one you sent is for just over a fiver and I cant change the total...so ive requested a total...if you adjust the p and p so its the whole amount...god what a pita! Sorry...

Festivepussy · 07/12/2004 11:30

Oh and just to be that bit more irrittaing my mum said do they have instructions...I felt like saying, yeah Rub n Relax...but didntGrin so can I have those info sheets too....you'll leave FB saying Persistent pesterer!

buffettheturkeylayer2 · 07/12/2004 11:45

340 fags not smoked. Which, when you put it like that, rams it home what a crap habit it is.

Festivepussy · 07/12/2004 11:46

Wait till you get to 500 then you just cant beleve you would have smoked so many in such a short space of time...Wel Done!

merryminkmama · 07/12/2004 11:55
