have three kids, two with cerebral palsy, and behaviour problems, all born prematurely. There you go, in three lines!!!

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 22:26

well, it was three lines in the little box at the bottom!!!

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 22:30

to Kayleigh, who is doubtless a top banana too.

Sparkly, your kids are the least of your worries if you can't use a mobile phone . Come on girl, get it sorted

I didn't realise you had SN kids. You must run a really crap taxi service with your gang needing your magnificent mothering services all the time !!! I hope you are prompt when you pick up your sis and that you wear a tie.

All our drivers wear ties. Remember.

And those who also give their clients newspapers get the biggest tips !

Anyway, on my laptop screen that was only one line.

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 22:31

Lame excuse, sm.

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 22:35

lol!! I can see Misdee laughing at this!!
I run a fab taxi service, and yes I wear a tie!!! BTW she did do her theory test today, guess who drove her there and looked after dd2 and dd3 for her while she was in there??

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 22:38

and then took her shopping and then had to drop her off at her Dd1's school inbetween picking up my DD2 from preschool and picking up DS and Dd1 from school??? AND then I had to take her shopping to her place for her.... mmmmmmm was it ME??

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 22:45

Dark furry thing. Tail. A cat. Sequins.

Must be sparklymeiowey blowing her trumpet !!!!!

You sound like a lovely sister.

I don't have any sisters. One brother. But if I did have a sister she'd be able to use a bleeding phone properly, that's for sure

Must go to bed now as we have our 20 week scan tomorrow AM and we plan on walking to the hospital if the sun is out (A good 1 1/2 hours) as we are both rather lazy when it comes to exercise.

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 22:49

hehe I know, what are we like!!?? She will laugh her t*ts off, I think!!

And I can use a phone properly but she keeps changing her number!! So there!!

I did think about texting her house phone but thought she might get a bit p*ssed off with me if she is sleeping!!

I have two sisters and a brother, ain't I lucky!!

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 22:51

BTW, sm.... I did search the archives briefly to find your life history and I note your most recent confession with reference to CIGARETTES....

So your BIL's in hossie with a bad heart, and you and dh are puffing away ? Tut Tut Tut says the hub. Tut Tut Tut.

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 22:54

I know, I know!!! I want to stop, but if you have been looking in my latest threads you will also see the stress I am under atm! I promise I will stop, I will go to the smoking nurse and get help!!

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 23:01

Sorry... couldn't deduce what's going on. Bit thick and tired right now.

See whoever can help you. And have you bought that Carr book ?

Buy the book tomorrow. If not for you, then for me. Post here or on the smoking thread to say you've bought it and I'll send you a nice collection of emoticons.

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 23:04

Ok, I will, I am going shopping with my best mate tomorrow so I'll go to Smiths!! Just for you ok?? I so want to stop, I want to go to Disney land!!

hub2dee · 17/03/2005 23:14

Fantastic !

I can finally go to bed. Sparkly has declared she wants to stop doing that thing which costs how much per week ? Oh it relaxes you ? Oh it gets you going ? Oh it's only after meals ? Oh it's only in social situations ?

Whatever, it's an addiction, and it's a hard habit to break. And you're brave to want to stop it, but you'll be braver and stronger when you've stopped, and that might be sooner than you think.

I am really pleased you will buy that book. Remember to do it. I think it's £6.99.

Good night.

And I did just read about your wondrous last few weeks. Sounds horribly stressful. You don't need a chemical addiciton on top of all the stuff you cope with.

Anyway, we are a 100% non smoking taxi service, so if you want to keep your job, you know what to do.

sparklymieow · 17/03/2005 23:19

I think I have someone to help me through this anyway I can't see you letting me slip!! I am sucking a sweet atm, I think I will have to stock up!! I have just looked on ebay for that book, but with P&P its cheaper at the shops!! I have looked on Tesco.com and whsmith.com so you know I am serious!! I hate myself for starting up again (thats right I gave up about 3 years ago!!) and was fagfree for ages!! What a twit eh??

misdee · 18/03/2005 07:32

well done mieow for ditching the fags. day one starts here!!

hub2dee, thank you for the offer. i dont know when i'll be in harefield area as i have to rely on others to get there, but thank you.

have had quotes for intensive course £400, so am saving hard over the next month to try and get the cash together.

OP posts:
sparklymieow · 18/03/2005 07:34

and I am feeling horrible... need a fag, but won't!!

hub2dee · 18/03/2005 07:41

Off to hossie: 20 wk scan now.

Smoke if you need to, sparkly, but you probably won't. And buy (and then READ) that book. Can you get 1/2 hour quiet time ?

I bet you're pleased (and scared) about your decision. Good luck today. Start a new thread in 'health' maybe ?

misdee: catch up later, must dash.

sparklymieow · 18/03/2005 09:53

lol, haven't had one yet, last one was at midnight!

misdee · 18/03/2005 09:59

oi go get your own thread!!!

I'll tell J to stop you smoking today when out with her.

sparklymieow · 18/03/2005 09:59

RTKangaMummy · 18/03/2005 10:20

misdee · 18/03/2005 10:21

Left ventricle assist device (think thats right) it'll do the work of the left side of his heart which is where the damage is. its like a pump, and is relatively new. they are hoping the heart mnay recover slightly with this, or at the very least give dh some life back between now and the transplant.

sparklymieow · 18/03/2005 10:27
