someone say cock?

ops wait til you have met the thread mascot....

afternoon

my dart arm is killing me, and i have just rang up to get blood test results and they told me i need to come in and see my gp again, so looks like my thyroid is playing up some more

for some reason i have been thinking about an old boyfriend who i lost touch with, and i tried to find him on fb

i hate mondays

Morning all. I had soup and a big lump of cheese for lunch - cheese is allowed because I am burning energy being stressed - lots of work to do before we go away and also worried IF we will get to go (flying to Egypt from Gatwick tmorrow afternoon).

Not that important in the grand scheme of things really I guess, it's not as if anyone is ill or stuck anywhere really horrible.

Yay for new computer for JuniorJet!

at Vinny's 'dart arm'!! Do you think it was the booze that helped with your skills?

So it's sort of good that you are going to see gp? I know it probably means that thyroid is worse but at least you'll hopefully get some treatment now won't you?

Trills - doesn't mean you are not alowed to be upset and stressed about it, especially as it is rescheduled anyway. Fingers crossed for you.

Vinny - hope the Dr's has some more definite answers for you.

I have sent the Midwife a text to see if i can get an appointment this week instead of waiting til next week, just to check all ok.

but Vinny, if you did become a pro darts player you would never have to diet again

very true alice, i would fit in well with my wobbly belly

Just popping in as I am working. DD has just woken up and appears to have taken a turn for the better.

I have eaten appallingly as I am tired and achey, the little tinker kicks like nothing else in bed. But no new spots and she is bright if still lethargic.

Thanks for the head stroking Hells....

Hello to everyone else also.

xx

Afternoon.

Fingers crossed for you Trills.

Jet, that's great news on the funding, how exciting!

Vinny, hope the doc can get you sorted now.

Good luck instructions!

Doc said it's prob viral, and as it's improving now, no point in ABs. I do feel a bit better, just wish it would hurry up and go.
However, I've got some cream for my manky finger, which will make me a much happier bunny, and an appointment to have bloods taken, as googling thyroid problems got my hypochondria twitching. But, you never know.

And, surprise, surprise, DS can have some Calpol if the cold's really bothering him. I'm sure our GPs are sponsored by Calpol.

We've nearly finished the buffet stuff from Saturday, so can commence eating real food again soon.

Glad to hear she's a little brighter Mitts.

Mass chicken pox outbreak going on around here. One of DH work colleagues' daughter has it, and apparently the GP in the next village on had seen 61 cases this morning.

DS2 has just sat near my legs so he could rub his back up against my jeans, like a bear and a tree

Mitts, I do wish DS2 would sleep, am feeling all achey and full of cold myself, have just done horrible work CV thing for inept colleague and no thanks at all. He is also roping DH in to sort out his laptop

Go to ring school and see if I can go in and fetch DS1 so that I don't have to take DS2 round to the playground and spread pox (though already have a few Moms asking if they can bring their kids round to get pox).

Wasting, hoping you feel better soon.

Thanks Lizzy. There's nothing like that chicken pox itch, bless him, I was 7 but I can remember scratching and scratching and scratching.

61 cases wasting..

It's pretty rampant around here but flip...poor doc!

DD's in lolly mode as I think she has them on her throat.

Right back to work. I am switching you all off so you don't distract me . Will open the lappy so you can have a breathe of fresh air in a bit....

I'm alive, I know you've all been worried

Had a nightmare weekend of nutter sil/mil and now school. Short story - dd bruises on legs, I ask her she tells me 2 boys at school did it. I ring the school this am and dp went in to speak to them this morning. Teacher rings me back to say she was going to ring me anyway as they have strict child protection policies and the bruises are so bad they've made a note in their 'black book'

She goes off to talk to my dd and then phones back to say she thinks its all sorted, has spoken to the children involved, will be having a 'circle time' tonight etc etc. BUT she's says that my dd has told her in previous weeks that 'please don't tell mummy i did x, y, z' and begged her not to tell me things and that when questionned she has said 'all she does is shout'!

She also told the teacher that I smacked her legs in the bath once (this is true, months ago, I hardly ever smack dd but snapped this once when she'd screamed at me and thrown water all over the floor. I told her if she didn't stop I was going to smack her legs and she didn't and I did )

I hardly ever raise my voice I don't think. Occasionally yes, but only if she's consistently ignoring me will I finally shout her name, and even then its usually just "dd1 NOW" type stuff. We do do a lot of 'I'm going to count to 3...'

Is this normal for kids to say? I'm crushed now, I thought we were bloody brilliant parents (not perfect obviously) but she has loads of attention, cuddles, we read with her constantly, lots of trips to zoos, parks, sorry I'm trying to defend myself now. I feel like bloody Rose West Also she is so not scared of me at all, she said to me yesterday 'You don't rule my life mummy' because I'd asked her to put something in the bin!!

Please tell me this is normal 5 year old stuff!!!

oh fluff. That's so awful for you. Although I think it is quite normal for them to sometimes say things like that. When DS was being an absolute nightmare and rushed towards the road I pulled him back and he was very indignant and proclaimed that I hurt him. It was just a tug but he was outraged (never mind that he would have been properly hurt if had run into the road). My (very calm) friend had similar happen with her DD. So in my experience...yes. It'll be interesting to hear what others have to say.

But at the horrible boys that gave you DD her sore lets.

legs not lets!

Lizzy at DS2

Fluff, they are master manipulators.

Mitts I popped to Aldi for some mini ice lollies on the way home, brilliant for the throat.

I said to the teacher I'm going to kill her when she gets home!!

Two tics, knock at the door...

Seriously I'm horrified that she could be frightened of me. Acually there's no way, she'd do as she was told occasionally if she was scared surely?!

Will attempt to catch up now. Although I might just pretend and go:

Lizzy
SAF - excellent
JuJu - Shiney did what??!!!
DEM - Enjoy
Mitts - no, sex is your RIGHT
Wasting - stop eating the cock
Bella - you bad, bad girl
Bitter - STOP the housework
Vin - rub that helmet!!

Defluff - my sister has had terrible trouble with her DD wrt lying and the school. It is mostly with my sister not giving her oldest DD as much attention since the second child has come along, and because my sis is no longer with DD1 dad, DD1 knows that 'daddy' is not her real dad, but that he is DD2's real dad. DD2 has to have the best of everything and my sis is trying to overcompensate with DD2 the things she feels are mistakes with DD1 iyswim?

Bloody hell Alice that's almost identical to here, well apart from the overcompensation with dd2, we overcompensate with dd1 instead. dd1's father my exh is a twat, dp and i had a baby 4 months ago. dd1 knows obviously that dd2 is dp's but she isn't. Suddenly having to share attention after 5 years has come as a shock to her and I tend to overcompensate by ignoring the baby, or getting the baby taken out so that dd1 and i can still have lots of one on one time.

But I am aghast at the 'mummy shouts all the time' thing I can't believe it!! Feel a bit weird now in my own home too as in what on earth is she telling her teacher?! I was crying at the weekend over something nutter sil had done and dd1 saw. Hope she didn't tell teacher today that 'mummy was in tears'!! The shame

A year or so back she had a bite on her leg and scratched it till it got infected, was horrible weepy mess. Went to gps got cream etc. When I went to get her from Kindergarten they told me she told them she'd had a kettle of boiling water poured on her leg!!!!!!

I'm actually going to kill her when she gets in

crap...dd has woken up with a sky high temp...and will not be put down for even a sec

Fluffy and at your "imaginative" DD1.
They do manipulate you and I always remember DS1's old preschool leader saying "Don't you believe everything they say about preschool, becausewe don't believe everything they tell us about their homelife".
I couldn't understand it at the time, until last week when DS2 told me that his childminder hadn't fed him all day and he was hungry. I called his bluff and said I'd call her to tell her off and then he came clean.
He was just angling for a biscuit!

OH Hells
Why is everyone so bloody ill at the moment!?
